Hanekawa Tsubasa (Horie Yui)

Artist

Hanekawa Tsubasa (Yui Horie) is a character-billed unit for the TV anime Bakemonogatari produced by Shaft. Voice actress Yui Horie, who plays honor-student Tsubasa Hanekawa possessed by the Sawari Neko apparition, sings in character. The opening theme sugar sweet nightmare (lyrics by meg rock, music and arrangement by Satoru Kosaki) mirrors the character's dual nature as a textbook good student suppressing deeper feelings, pairing a light melody with shaded lyrics. Within the landmark lineup of per-heroine openings that crystallized the Monogatari series' format, this song carries the shadow side of the franchise's identity.
