Thunderous applause

This is a single featuring LiSA’s powerful vocals that give you a push forward, released in November 2022 as the official theme song for TV programs related to the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022.

It was later included on the album “LANDER.” An upbeat, fast-paced rock tune infused with a dance-music-like swell, its unpredictable developments brilliantly express the tension and exhilaration of competition.

The chorus has an irresistibly unifying rhythm that makes you want to shout together, making it a perfect track to bring the stadium’s heat straight into a school sports day.

The positive lyrics, aimed at everyone moving forward despite doubts and fears, pair perfectly with a coordinated parachute (paraballoon) performance.

The moments when the dynamic movements align with the music are sure to deeply move anyone watching.

This is the second single by the female singer LiSA, who, sparked by the massive hit “Gurenge” that was so popular in 2020 you couldn’t go a day without hearing it, has expanded her activities far beyond the realm of anime song singers.

The track was used as the opening theme for the TV anime Sword Art Online, and its intense, battle-inspired feel ties in with the anime.

Although the performance is busy—with crisp riffs over a driving beat and clean-tone arpeggios—each individual technique is simple, making it an approachable song for beginner guitarists.

The guitar solo also uses few notes and is straightforward, offering an easy yet fun introduction to the appeal of rock guitar.

LiSA “Because You’re My Hero.” -MUSIC CLIP- (TV Anime “My Hero Academia” Season 2 Ending Theme)

LiSA’s 12th single, released in August 2017, is a rock anthem of encouragement written as the ending theme for season 2 of the TV anime My Hero Academia.

It sings of “heroes” not as titles bestowed on distant others, but as words for everyone who, despite their doubts, tries to face forward.

The song is filled with gratitude toward those who have supported and guided her, and the feeling that she became stronger thanks to them.

In the music video, TOTALFAT—whom LiSA had long admired—appears alongside her, and the setup of “playing together with respected seniors” gives the song’s message an added dimension.

It’s a recommended track for anyone who wants to tell a teacher or mentor, “I am who I am today because of you.”
