TOMONARI SORA – “Roar – HOKO” [Music Video] (Anime “Kingdom” Season 6 Ending Theme)

A bold new frontier for Sora Tomonari, whose powerful sound overwhelms you with the heat and tension of the battlefield.

Showcasing an aggressive side never before revealed, this track is a rock number that paints a fierce clash of convictions over a driving, fast-paced beat.

Our top recommendation is this song, released in October 2025.

It was written as the ending theme for the sixth season of the TV anime “Kingdom.” The production’s unwavering commitment is evident in the story that, with the cooperation of the American football team, they actually recorded the scrape of protective gear and raw, rugged shouts.

It’s a pivotal piece that leads into the November 2025 album “Bunmei Kaika – East West.” Give it a listen when you want to break out of your shell or stoke the fire of your inner fighting spirit.

Teacher

A bittersweet farewell song, told from a teacher’s perspective, whose delicate emotions and vivid imagery pierce the heart.

Written and arranged by singer-songwriter Sora Tomonari, the track delivers diary-like messages about days spent with students, carried by a suffocatingly beautiful piano melody.

Created as the theme song for the anime film Assassination Classroom the Movie: Our Time, released in March 2026, it resonates with themes of parting and new beginnings.

Even when we’re apart, this song reminds us that words can remain in our hearts—and it will surely support you, too.

Roar – HOKOTomonari Sora7rank/position

Roar – HOKO

HOKO, the ending theme for Season 6 of the anime Kingdom, is an emotional track known for its soul-shaking intensity and weighty atmosphere.

It’s recommended for men who want to train their overall expressiveness, vocal power, and sense of rhythm.

The overall vocal range is A2–D#5, which looks very wide at first glance, but most of the song sits in the low register.

Songs that focus on low notes like this can lose contrast when you sing them, giving a somewhat sluggish impression.

In such cases, intensity is of course important, but choosing where in the melody to place accents also creates a sense of contrast, making the song easier to sing and more pleasant to listen to overall.

Try exaggerating the accent on the first beat—you’ll find your voice projects more than you expect, so keep that in mind.
