Linked Horizon might sound like a band name, but it’s actually a unit where Revo sings, composes, and produces everything by himself.

The unit originally started with the concept of linking with other works.

Many people might recognize them as “RinHori.” They’re well known for handling the sound for Attack on Titan.

That may be what made them famous.

Their brave, fierce, and powerful beats are exciting and full of anticipation.

UNISON SQUARE GARDEN “Spring Has Come, We” Short ver.
Spring Comes to UsUNISON SQUARE GARDEN

I was surprised to learn that UNISON SQUARE GARDEN sings anime songs.

But hearing that it’s the opening theme for March Comes in Like a Lion made sense.

It’s their signature medium-tempo 16-beat—upbeat rhythm with high-tone vocals, a bright, invigorating sound that makes you excited to see what kind of interesting yet bittersweet story is about to begin.

I think it’s really good—what do you all think?

Kaito Ishikawa is performing in the now-popular style where voice actors also sing.

Speaking of Kaito Ishikawa, I can’t help but think of Gargantia.

As someone from the First Gundam generation, I love works like Space Battleship Tiramisu.

A sweet face with a sweet voice, cool machines with cool characters.

I highly recommend giving it a watch at least once.
