TOKYO -- About three years ago Tokyo-based anime house Aniplex pitched Sony Music Labels with an idea: How about letting LiSA do a song for "Demon Slayer," now a blockbuster TV and movie anime.
Sony Music general manager Yosuke Hasegawa bought it. He then called on singer Risa Oribe, aka LiSA, and other Sony musicians to work out a song, eventually coming up with "Gurenge," the title track for the TV series that preceded the movie.
