A cocky-sounding singing style might make you feel shy, but if you commit to it, it can be insanely cool.
This song is sung by Jun Fukuyama, who’s also active as a voice actor and narrator.
It was the opening theme for the anime he starred in, “The Vampire Dies in No Time.” The bright, cool sound arrangement is wonderful! And if you like jazz-tinged tracks, this stylish vibe will probably hit the mark.

These self-deprecating lyrics… I bet more people relate to them than you’d expect.
