Shine in the cruel nightLiSA
As a bridge for Japan–Korea cultural exchange, J-pop is spreading in Korea along with anime culture.
Released in July 2025, LiSA’s 24th single was also released in Korea as the theme song for Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba the Movie – Infinity Castle Arc, Chapter 1: Akaza’s Return, and has become widely known under its Korean title, “잔혹한 밤에 빛나라” (Shine in the Cruel Night).
Combining Yuki Kajiura’s grand orchestration with LiSA’s powerful vocals, the song shines even in darkness, delivering a moving number about upholding bonds and conviction.
In Korea, it’s praised as a track that merges seamlessly with the film’s world, with viewers saying, “I couldn’t stop crying during the ending.” It’s a song reaching a broad audience in Korea, far beyond just anime fans.
SAY CHEESE!BOYNEXTDOOR
BOYNEXTDOOR, currently on a hot streak and produced by ZICO.
Created as the official anniversary song celebrating the 85th birthday of Tom and Jerry, this track features an appealing hybrid sound that fuses rock ’n’ roll and hip-hop.

An addictive track that exploded in popularity starting from TikTok and went on to become an unusually long-running hit in South Korea.
After its release in September 2022, it continued to chart on Spotify’s daily rankings in Korea, achieving an exceptional level of staying power for a J-pop song.
Whispered vocals tell a story of a love you knew you shouldn’t pursue, expressing a crumbling relationship and uncontrollable emotions over an R&B-tinged sound.
That worldview resonated deeply with young listeners in Korea, inspiring numerous Korean-language cover videos.
It was also featured in a Nike campaign and included on the album “Gekijou.” Perfect for fans of city pop and alternative R&B, it’s a highly recommended track for night drives or when you want to sink into your feelings alone.
