Released in October 2024, it portrays a powerful desire for knowledge and offers a fresh perspective, like a view from a great height.
It harmonizes perfectly with the anime’s worldview, and there’s no doubt you’ll be drawn into its intellectually stimulating content.
Highly recommended for those interested in philosophical questions or seeking lyrics that resonate with the heart.
UN-APEXTK from RIN TO SHITE SIGURE

Negoto, a four-piece rock band that had been performing energetically since their high school days, unfortunately disbanded in 2019.
Their 9th single “DESTINY,” which was used as the ending theme for the TV anime Gintama°, features an ear-catching synth sound and a clear, airy vocal that shape the song’s atmosphere.
The exhilarating chorus melody and ensemble have a uniquely pleasant quality that makes you want to listen on repeat.
It’s an emotional pop tune where a sense of weightless float is balanced by the tightness of its rock sound.
