Zankyo SankaAimer
Singer-songwriter Aimer.
The opening theme she sings for the anime Demon Slayer: Entertainment District Arc is “Zankyosanka.” Its lyrics link with the world of the story and really amped up the anime, didn’t they? So if you sing it, it’ll get not just adults but kids excited too.
By the way, the key to singing it is to clearly distinguish between the low and high parts.
Doing so really brings out Aimer’s vocal vibe.
It may be tough at first, but give it a try.
