Clementine & Ainhoa

Artist

A duo credit pairing Clementine, a leading singer in France's bossa nova and chanson scene, with vocalist Ainhoa. Clementine has long been beloved in Japan through her album series that reinterpret anime songs as bossa nova arrangements, distinguished by her flowing French-language vocals. They performed 'etoile et toi', the ED theme for the Kizumonogatari anime film series, with lyrics by meg rock and composition and arrangement by Satoru Kosaki of MONACA. Different editions, 'le bleu' and 'le blanc', were used in Part II 'Nekketsu-hen' and Part III 'Reiketsu-hen', creating an elegant orchestral string-driven piece that brings musical closure to the trilogy.
