DancerFukkun:)Tatsuki Fukuda
Primarily active in Tokyo, I have experience as a backup dancer for artists, a music video dancer, and a commercial dancer. I continue to work as a dancer while also engaging in article production. After discovering Michael Jackson in junior high school, I began dancing in my second year of high school. Since starting dance, in addition to the J-Pop and Japanese rock I had been listening to, I began exploring Western R&B, rap, alternative music, and other tracks commonly used for dance. In elementary school, I spent three years in a choir, and because I love singing, I often go to karaoke for fun. These days, I enjoy a wide range of music, from Japanese rock and rap to K-pop.

Crimson Lotus FlowerLiSA

LiSA “Gurenge” -MUSIC CLIP YouTube EDIT ver.-

Gurenge LiSA

This is the 15th single by female singer LiSA, used as the theme song for the TV anime Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba.

The song’s structure is designed to maximize the impact of the chorus by creating strong dynamics—contrasting the intense rock sound of the A section and chorus with a quieter B section.

In the chorus, simple chord progressions are interspersed with occasional diminished chords, striking a balance between accessibility and a memorable hook.

On the Oricon charts, it achieved both the “last No.

1 of the Heisei era” and the “first No.

1 of the Reiwa era,” setting records that transcend the typical scope of anime songs.
