LiSA: The Iconic Voice Behind Your Favorite Anime Openings
This week, LiSA made headlines as a massive screen at Sony’s HQ in Tokyo lit up to celebrate her first-ever tour stop in New York City. The energy was sky-high, and when LiSA met with fans and press after her show, she was all smiles.
From Japan to the World: LiSA’s Journey
Over the last ten years, LiSA has become a powerhouse in Japanese music with her explosive performances and instantly recognizable vocals. Internationally, she’s best known for singing over 15 anime theme songs—especially the hit Gurenge from Demon Slayer.
Anime Fan Turned Superstar
Although “the fans may know me as just singing those songs,” LiSA explained, she’s a huge anime fan herself. She loves seeing “all the actual hard work of all staff involved,” and feels “proud to be part of that [process].” Instead of just focusing on her chart-topping tracks, LiSA reflected on the impact of her very first anime opening and the way teamwork helps her craft each theme song.
Which Song Stuck With LiSA?
When asked which anime opening means the most, LiSA immediately pointed to “crossing field” from Sword Art Online.
“That was the first one that I got to be involved in an anime,” she said, looking back at the milestone. “It always has a special part in me. Fans in New York were able to sing with me, they know that song so well. That was very touching.”
How LiSA Writes the Perfect Anime Song
It’s clear that anime has helped LiSA gain fans all over the globe, but her love for the medium also shapes her music in a big way. “I was blessed to [meet] so many creators backstage,” she said. “The fans may know me as just singing those songs, but I got to see the actual hard work and passion that goes into creating anime,” and she’s proud to be part of it.
Her involvement goes way beyond singing. Whenever LiSA joins a new anime project, she works directly with directors and creators to capture the show’s emotional tone. “I always ask what kind of scenes they want to depict through this music,” she explained. Whether it’s an epic battle or a sweet rom-com, she collaborates with the team to match the show’s vibe. “They put the images together, and then I get to brainstorm with them.” This hands-on approach is what makes her openings stand out.
Why LiSA’s Anime Songs Hit Different
For LiSA, every anime song is more than just another job—it’s a lifeline that connects her to fans everywhere. If you’ve ever belted out a LiSA song at karaoke or got goosebumps during an anime opening, now you know just how much heart goes into every note.
