イキモノガカリ

A beloved Japanese pop unit of Kiyoe Yoshioka and Yoshiki Mizuno, originally a trio that also included Hotaka Yamashita, formed in the Atsugi and Ebina area of Kanagawa. With universal lyrics rooted in everyday city scenes and a clear, sparkling voice they have become a national presence cherished across generations. Their many anime theme songs span works of all ages, including 'Seishun Line' for the high-school baseball Big Windup!, 'Blue Bird' and 'Hotaru no Hikari' for Naruto Shippuden, songs for the Pokemon film Genesect and the Legend Awakened and Detective Conan: The Eleventh Striker, and themes for Yozakura Family's Mission and Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin.
