Sawano Hiroyuki/ SawanoHiroyuki[nZk]: mizuki

I am honored to be in charge of not only the ending theme song as SawanoHiroyuki [nZk] but also in the production of the original soundtrack. The stories and settings are a very important source of motivation to produce music for the anime, and the time flew by when making the music, because I had a wonderful time with the vocalist Mizuki and other musicians.
Please enjoy the song “Avid” with the world of “86”!
