[live] Linked Horizon ~ Guren no Yumiya (Crimson Bow and Arrow) OST. Attack on Titan Season 1

Included on the single “Jiyū e no Shingeki,” released in July 2013, it served as the opening theme for Attack on Titan Season 1.

Created by Revo, it’s characterized by German narration and a fast-paced orchestral rock style, and became a massive hit that symbolizes the anime! When you sing it at karaoke, the lyrics appear on a bright red screen, but since the usual karaoke-style lyrics don’t display, many people back then memorized the German parts perfectly—and I was one of them.

The song itself is super cool, so it still gets everyone hyped when you put it in.

The best way is to crank up your energy and belt it out.

Supercell – The Story You Don't Know

This is supercell’s major-label debut single, released on August 12, 2009.

Ryo handled the lyrics, composition, and arrangement.

It became a big hit as the ending theme for the anime Bakemonogatari, telling a story with a coming-of-age ensemble feel that portrays a bittersweet unrequited love against a starry-night backdrop.

If you’re an anime fan or like the Monogatari series, you probably know this song.

The overall vocal range is A3–D5, with the chorus centered in the higher register.

Belting it all in full chest voice can strain your throat, so I recommend singing with a light heady mix or falsetto feel.

Try resonating in your head voice as you sing!
