Reflecting on the past five years, LiSA shared her thoughts in a message video posted on Oricon’s official YouTube channel. “Since the advent of the Reiwa era and the release of ‘Gurenge,’ a myriad of events has unfolded globally. Through both its highs and lows, ‘Gurenge’ has been a constant companion,” she expressed. “This song, serving as the inaugural opening theme for the TV anime Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, holds a special place in my heart. The collaborative process behind its creation was filled with heartfelt discussions and dedication. As ‘Gurenge’ has yet to grace international stages, I eagerly anticipate its reception beyond Japan’s borders. I sincerely hope it continues to resonate with audiences worldwide. Thank you for your unwavering support!”
