Shikon

Artist

Yukari Ima is a new-generation female singer-songwriter and creator who writes, composes and arranges her own music. Her greatest strengths are a soaring, emotive voice rooted in gospel and choral singing and a delicate, deeply affecting sense of production, and she has a strong reputation for grand ballad expression. With a lyrical world that honestly reflects her own inner life and production that reaches beyond the confines of standard pop, she has steadily attracted attention. For the TV anime Blue Exorcist: Shimane Illuminati Saga, she wrote the ending theme "Gakkyu Nisshi," a song that weaves warmth and bittersweetness to walk alongside a harsh story and profoundly deepens its emotional afterglow.
