fatalGEMN
A passionate track by GEMN that fully captures a tapestry of overlapping anxiety and anticipation, where restlessness intersects—painted with a driving, exhilarating melody.
It vividly frames the omen called “fate” lurking in everyday life and the shifting emotions of people swayed by it.
The distinct personalities of Kento Nakajima and Tatsuya Kitani blend beautifully, leaving a strong, heartbeat-like rhythm and a striking melody that lingers in the ear.
Released in July 2024 and chosen as the opening theme for Season 2 of the TV anime “Oshi no Ko,” the song sparked a major response, surpassing 100 million cumulative streams by December.

Created by R-Shitei—known from Creepy Nuts and Umeda Cipher—and Ayase, active as a Vocaloid producer and a member of YOASOBI, the track’s breakneck call-and-response creates a thrilling ensemble that really amps you up.
The lyrics, which link to the anime’s story, evoke a universal theme: even in doubt, you can only keep moving forward.
It’s a track that lingers with the striking contrast between aggressive rap and lyrical melody.

The opening theme song for the anime Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Swordsman Romantic Story, born from a collaboration between R-Shitei and Ayase of YOASOBI.
Its message—living in the present so that you can even come to love the wounds you’ve suffered—powerfully resonates, portraying a protagonist who keeps fighting head-on despite regret, setbacks, and countless obstacles.
No matter how many times you fall, stand up and take flight toward greater heights.
With that strong will embedded in it, be sure to listen, sing along, and charge up to your next step!

I got it!Mia REGINA
It’s a rock tune that puts ska sounds front and center.
It’s a song by the three-member girls’ vocal group Mia REGINA, released in 2020 as their eighth single.
