LiSA unveils a music video for the song Akeboshi which serves as the opening theme for the ongoing Demon Slayer season.

Following the success of the hit song Homura last year, LiSA teams up with composer Yuki Kajiura once again to take charge of the musical arrangements, and this time around, the music features heavy guitars mixed with orchestral elements highlighting LiSA’s vocal ability.

The music video for Akeboshi is mostly shot inside a train tunnel in reference to the Mugen Train arc of Demon Slayer and shows LiSA’s expressive gaze and fierce yet smooth moves in tune with the song’s mystical genre. The singer’s presence alternates with painter Akiko Nakayama’s “Alive Painting” technique which consists of using the color and texture of different liquids to bring art to life.
