In anime community, she is known for singing some of the absolute fire theme songs including “Fate Stay Night 2nd opening”, “Vinland Saga ending 1”, and “Fire Force 3rd opening”.
In Japan, Demon Slayer rating was continuously going down. One of the main reasons for low ratings was the “Mugen Train Arc” was not offering anything new to the audience.
