LinneASCA

Rinne is a work by singer Asuka Okura under her solo project name ASCA.
It’s a pop song written as the ending theme for the anime EDENS ZERO.

Re:Re:ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION

ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION is a Japanese rock band that began activities in 1996, centered around Masafumi Gotoh, who serves as guitarist and vocalist.
The song Re:Re: is included on their 2004 album Sol-fa, but it was re-recorded in 2016 after being selected as the opening theme for the anime ERASED (Boku Dake ga Inai Machi).
The anime’s concept—revival, turning past regrets into energy for the future—aligns perfectly with the themes of Re:Re:.
Rewrite (2016 ver.)ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION

A four-piece rock band formed in 1996 in the light music club at Kanto Gakuin University, celebrating 25 years together in 2021.
Their rock sound, often categorized as grunge or alternative, combined with straightforward, delicate lyrics that evoke vivid scenes and landscapes, has earned overwhelming support, especially among younger listeners.
Many of their songs pair simple yet robust instrumentation with catchy melodies, making them a rock band whose music naturally draws in even those who don’t usually listen to rock.
Dance of RealityATOLS

It’s a track that leaves me at a loss for words.
It reaffirms that the world ATOLS, the creator, brings to life is something no one else can imitate.
With a tempo that feels like it’s slowly and gently moving forward step by step, the cute, fluffy lyrics are sung in a way that I’d especially recommend to cat lovers.
RebellionAdo

Rebellion features a driving band sound highlighted by a resonant, dynamic bassline.
Released in 2022 by Ado, an artist renowned for masterfully singing across genres, the track was composed by Chinozo, known for the hit Goodbye Sengen.
The band performance, which seems to accelerate lyrics depicting a heroic figure standing up to the world, is striking.
In step with her passionate vocals, a rhythmic bassline unfolds.
Be sure to listen for the cool bass riffs etched into the heavy beat.
Re:prayAimer

A single by the female singer Aimer—described by the director of the Japan Acoustic Research Institute as possessing a very rare voice in which amplitude and frequency fluctuations occur simultaneously—this is her second release.
Chosen as the ending theme at the start of the Substitute Shinigami Disappearance arc that began in 2011, the song centers on the theme of a parting one must accept.
The contrast between its wistful melody and its ethereal arrangement overlaps with the lyrics’ story, amplifying the sense of poignancy.
It’s an emotional number whose distinctive vocals and beautiful melody stir the heart.

RiverAnonymouz

The female singer Anonymouz, whose true face remains shrouded in mystery.
Her song “River,” used as the opening theme for Vinland Saga Season 2, is packed with a curious, captivating charm.
Its polished, R&B-like vibe blends in mysterious melodies reminiscent of ambient and feeling music, creating an incredibly addictive sound.
The lyrics are in English, and her pronunciation is so good that it almost doesn’t feel like Japanese music, which adds to its unique appeal.
