This time, I had detailed discussions with the director before starting work on the song, and I went through a lot of trial and error to see how to incorporate Japanese instruments into the song. I hope you will listen to this new form of Japanese digital rock that is not straightforward.
I hope that it will be a memorable song that goes well with the anime.
I am very happy to have been given the wonderful opportunity to sing the ending theme for the TV anime “Sengoku Youko: Sen Ma Konton-hen.”
Hiroki Nanami
“Yoru no Sui” is a song in which the inner conflict of Senya and his feelings for Gekko are scattered throughout the lyrics and melody.
I sang it with all my heart while imagining the scenes of Sengoku Youko, so I hope that you can feel the worldview of Sengoku Youko from “Yoru no Sui”.
An advance screening for this part 2 will also be held at Shin-Bungeiza in Tokyo on June 30th. Animation Studio White Fox animated this series and will be back for part 2. Bookmark our website for more updates!
