her professional career as a singer in January 2019 under Warner Music
Japan's unBORDE label. Since then, he has been responsible for
theme music in well-known anime such as Fire Force, Shadowverse
Flame, Skip and Loafer, and TSUKIMICHI -Moonlit
Fantasy-. His versatility and artistic sensibility have made him a
recurring name in the industry.
A song
with a personal message
"Rubble", available digitally
since August 20, 2025, was composed with a strong personal
connection. The artist himself shared, "I've followed the manga since its
initial publication, so it was a happy coincidence to be able to write this
track. I believe that the people who appear in our daily lives are the ones who
shape our minds and are an essential presence. I look forward to seeing how the
unique atmosphere of the original work is conveyed in the anime."
Captivated,
By You: the anime of the moment
The anime
"Captivated, By You" premiered in Japan on August
21, 2025, and is available on Crunchyroll for various
regions, including Europe and Latin America. The series explores, through
a narrative in omnibus format, different experiences of youth
and relationships between students.
Joji Ema studies at a boys' high
school. After the sports festival, his partner Miyoshi Hayashi begins
to behave strangely towards him. On the other hand, Yuichi Medaka,
in a co-ed school, ends up sitting behind Akira Nikaido, a
disturbing student who is not liked by his classmates. Through these stories,
the work portrays the complexities and emotions of adolescence.
