Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba is one of the most popular anime and manga out there and its movie, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Mugen Train, had the biggest global box office for a Japanese animated film with over $507 million. The animated series featured LiSA’s “Gurenge,” the infectious and head-banging rock song that was used for the first opening theme. The artist is Spotify’s 2020 Most Played Japanese Artist Overseas. Today, Crunchyroll announced a once-in-a-lifetime anime and music experience with LiSA performing live and in person at San Diego Comic-Con 2024.
