I am honored to be able to handle the opening theme of “Code Geass” whichthat is still being loved by many.
The opening is my latest song “Phoenix Prayer” and it is written by Nakamura Miku (Cö shu Nie), whom I am a big fan of, so it make me jump in joy. As the song is related to the anime, I hope you can enjoy the song together with the anime.

【Cö shu Nie’s Comments】

The 15th anniversary of Code Geass, this is a historical anime that has been loved by many, and we are happy that Cö shu Nie’s song will be involved in such anime. The ending “Sakura Burst” was completed immediately as it’s overflowing out of the mind since it was created when my loved one has die. It was written with a painful love on protecting the things you want even if it’s ego. I hope that this song will be loved for a long time just like Code Geass.
