Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Movie 1 Announces Theme Songs by LiSA and Aimer in First PV Trailer
LiSA has been a core part of Demon Slayer ever since Season 1 and “Gurenge,” the iconic opening theme that pretty much became a cultural phenomenon in 2019. She also performed “From the Edge,” the ending theme for the same season, in collaboration with FictionJunction.
Her contribution went further with the 2020 film Demon Slayer: Mugen Train, for which she performed the award-winning theme song “Homura.” In the anime’s 2021 TV adaptation of the Mugen Train Arc, LiSA returned to deliver both the opening theme “Akeboshi” and the ending theme “Shirogane,” further cementing her as inseparable from the franchise.
Aimer performed the opening theme “Zankyou Sanka” and the ending theme “Asa ga Kuru” for Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Entertainment District Arc, marking her debut in the franchise with two tracks.
The new theme songs will be “A World Where the Sun Never Rises” by Aimer and “Shine in the Cruel Night” by LiSA. You can watch the trailer below.
