Zankyo SankaAimer
Released in January 2022 as Aimer’s 20th single, this song was selected as the opening theme for the popular anime Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Entertainment District Arc.
It topped the Billboard Japan Hot 100 for nine consecutive weeks, surpassed 200 million streams, and received a Special Award at the Japan Record Awards.
Masahiro Tobinai’s bold arrangement features resplendent brass and strings that brilliantly capture both the opulence of the red-light district and the tension of battle.

Butter-FlyKoji Wada
The anime Digimon Adventure, based on the game Digital Monster that gained popularity in the 1990s, is a rare long-running hit among anime works derived from toys and games, and it still enjoys a strong following today.
Butter-Fly is known as its theme song and continues to be loved by many fans, frequently ranking high in anime song charts at karaoke.
Although the song spans a wide range from mid1 C# to hi B, only some of the falsetto notes are high, and the chest voice stays within mid2 G#.
Therefore, as long as you can handle the falsetto parts, you likely won’t find the vocal range particularly challenging.
