The track is called ‘Kodou‘ by Eir Aoi and is the Japanese singer’s 19th single.

The powerful rock song, featuring the singer’s famously massive vocals and an addictive beat, has also just received a full-length music video that has Eir Aoi performing the song with a backing band.

The video has been filmed on a set that has been made to look like an abandoned building in a forested area, giving the video a feeling of desolation and sadness.

Eir Aoi also recently performed a live version of two other anime theme songs on the popular YouTube channel The First Take — I Will’ from SAO: Alicization — War of Underworld and Ignite from Sword Art Online II.

In both performances, her live vocals were astounding.
