▽Hana Hope Comment
I’m very happy to be in charge of the theme song for the historical anime series “The Seven Deadly Sins”!
What kind of songs can be included in the world of works that continue to be loved? I created the new song “Acairo” while thinking about this.
In “The Seven Deadly Sins: The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse,” Percival fights forward while experiencing many farewells and encounters during his adventures.
The color red represents both life and death, and indicates that they are connected.
And to live is to face death. “Akairo” expresses this reassuring feeling.
I would be happy if this song could be a trigger for those who listen to it.
Thank you very much for your time!
