6Shirogane - LiSA
LiSA Wails Over An Orchestral Background
The Japanese artistLiSAquickly rose to international notoriety whenDemon Slayerfirst debuted, with one of the most played J-pop openings that quickly broke YouTube records. However, LiSA also lent her voice in multiple areas of the show, including an ending song in the second season of the series with “Shirogane”.
The song has a powerful instrumental, and LiSA’s voice always sounds terrific and leaves a great impression during the rolling credits of the anime. However, this particular go-around had the energy of an opening and didn’t quite compete with the other endings on the list.
5Koi Kagare - MAN WITH A MISSION, Millet
Strong Guitars With Incredible Harmonies
“Koi Kagare”, by the spectacular bandMan With a Mission, delivered an incredible song for season three ofDemon Slayer.The song blasts out with an excellent hard rock feel, but also possesses a very well-put-together big band or orchestral feel with a wide variety of supporting instruments.
Koi Kagare also does very well in matching the high-octane tone of the third season, as Tanjiro and the Hashira’s of Love and Mist put it all on the line to take down not one, but two elite-level demons. Man With a Mission is no stranger to powerful anime endings and openings, as they also lent their voices to “Raise Your Flag” fromMobile Suit Gundam: Iron Blooded Orphans.
4Kamado Tanjiro no Uta - Go Shiina, Nami Nakagawa
A Somber Instrumental That Nails Its Tone
“Kamado Tanjiro no Uta"is a song that appears multiple times during theDemon Slayeranime, but was only used as an ending song once, in the show’s first season. In episode nineteen, the perilous battle that Tanjiro, his allies, and his sister have been going through slowly comes to a climax.
Through their combined efforts, Tanjiro and his sister defeat a powerful demon. The insert song trickles in with beautiful piano tones and tugs at the heartstrings of the viewers, perfectly matching the emotion of the images on-screen. ComposerGo Shiinahas lent his talent to a number of anime and video games, such asGod Eaterand the recently releasedTekken 8, and he does the same here.
3Asa Ga Kuru - Aimer
Powerful Vocals With Amazing Energy Throughout The Track
Aimer’scrystal vocals and raspy tone of voice are a beautiful pairing withDemon Slayer’ssecond season and the Entertainment District Arc. While Aimer sang both the opening and ending songs for this season,“Asa Ga Kuru"was quite a bit more impactful, with strong violins and powerful baselines that perfectly matched the rising tension in the season.
As Tanjirou, Zenitsu, and Inosuke try as hard as they can to combat the demon menace and keep up withtheir Hashira senior, the tables turn dramatically, and a rescue turns into all-out chaos.
2From The Edge - FunctionJunction And LiSA
An Incredible Pairing To An Incredible Season
The debut season ofDemon Slayerarrived with stunning animation, an engaging story, wonderful characters, and excellent musical scores. Perhaps one of the most iconic track lists in recent years, anime fans all over the world were raving about the fantastic opening and endings byLiSAandFunctionJunction.
“From The Edge"delivered a powerful collaboration between the two, spawning a potent pop-infused track that perfectly fit the series' dire straits and intense action. While there is no mistaking the pristine vocals of LiSA, FunctionJunction is also no stranger to anime, as they have been featured multiple times in theMobile Suit Gundam Seedseries.
1Homura - LiSA
An Emotional Track That Won’t Leave A Dry Eye In The House
LiSA’sperfect vocals have risen to worldwide renown and attached themselves to theDemon Slayeranime, elevating the series higher. Through the many songs that LiSA lends to the show, she brings a perfect balance of epic stakes and emotional depth. Each track is just as good, if not better, than the last. A high standard was set with the release of the firstDemon Slayeropening, “Gurenge”, which shot up the charts like wildfire.
LiSa also made a track for theDemon Slayer: Mugen Trainanimated film, which depicted the heartwrenching series of events that would spell the end for one of the most beloved Hashira’s in the Demon Slayer Corps.“Homura"would be the final song to play in the movie’s final moment. It’s a perfect fit for the melancholy moment that it left viewers on, leading the way into the second season.
