C – The Money of Soul and Possibility OP ~ Matryoshka Nico Touches the Walls

Matryoshka NICO Touches the Walls

It’s the opening theme of the anime “C.” The lyrics liken the lies of showiness and appearances to a traditional Russian craft, the Matryoshka doll—something that I think resonates with everyone.

Set to a rock sound and sung with fiery intensity, it’s the kind of song that makes you want to shout along.

OxT – GO CRY GO

GO CRY GOOxT

It’s the opening theme of the TV anime Overlord II.

When you think of Masayoshi Oishi, who handles the vocals, you might picture refreshing, upbeat songs, but this track contains a muddy, frenzied flavor befitting the work Overlord.

That darker side, in turn, manifests as a different kind of cool, making it a highly compelling song to listen to.
