Shadow and TruthONE Ⅲ NOTES
A stylish, dark track where a heavy bassline, buoyant rap, and translucent vocals intertwine exquisitely! It was written as the opening theme for the TV anime ACCA: 13-Territory Inspection Dept., which began airing in January 2017, and many listeners say the song instantly brings back the show’s atmosphere.
The composer is Ryo Takahashi, known for his music that incorporates elements of jazz and acid jazz.
The track is by ONE Ⅲ NOTES, a special unit formed around Takahashi.
This theme exudes a chic vibe that evokes an urban night just by listening, and it’s perfect as late-night work BGM.
It’s highly recommended when you want to boost your concentration while soaking in a mysterious mood.
SpirareYui Makino
This song, released in January 2008, is characterized by its transparent vocals and dreamy, ethereal sound.
It was used as the opening theme for the anime ARIA The ORIGINATION, and its water-city-inspired musical arrangement beautifully captures the series’ worldview.
As suggested by the title meaning “spiral,” the lyrics poignantly depict the flow of life, with its cycles of days, encounters, and farewells.
Its gentle, chill atmosphere makes it perfect for relaxing or focusing on work.
Recommended for those who want to quietly sort out their thoughts while surrendering to a tender melody.
