Singer-songwriter Misaki, from the music creative agency ‘muchoo,’ will perform the ending theme for the popular anime series Kingdom! The fourth series premiered on NHK General on April 9. A new arc will begin in July. 

Misaki is a 19-year-old singer-songwriter from Nagasaki Prefecture. The artist has amassed a following on TikTok with over 450,000 followers despite having never shown her face. Her gentle and fragile voice has gained her fans not only in Japan but around the world.

The new ending theme, Believe, was written with the up-and-coming rock band Hiyorinoame. With a different sound than most of her previous tracks, the song was made with Kingdom’s main character Shin in mind.

Comment from Misaki

I’m not someone who’s typically involved in anime or manga, but I had heard of Kingdom. When I heard that I would be performing the ending theme, I was so excited I couldn’t even react!

This is really a dream come true–it’s something that feels way too good to be true. Thank you so much!

I didn’t worry too much about the lyrics when I wrote the song–instead, I just imagined Shin and how he always moves forward, no matter what.

Being a girl, I had never written lyrics so masculine before, with words like ore and ora*! (These are both ways to refer to oneself in Japanese, but are only used by men.) 

I think I was able to express Shin’s personality in this track, and I’ll be happy if you can picture him in your mind when you’re listening to this song!

I hope this song resonates with as many people as possible.
