Sengoku Nadeko (Hanazawa Kana)

Artist

Sengoku Nadeko (Kana Hanazawa) is a character-billed unit for the TV anime Bakemonogatari produced by Shaft. Voice actress Kana Hanazawa, who plays the middle-school student Nadeko Sengoku possessed by the snake-cutter ropes apparition, sings in character. The opening theme Renai Circulation (lyrics by meg rock, music and arrangement by Satoru Kosaki) hooks on Hanazawa's adorable, whisper-tinged delivery and won fervent support from broadcast onward. In later years it became a meme on overseas social and video platforms, with English covers achieving global popularity, turning it into a phenomenon that transcends anime music. It remains one of the most representative songs of the Monogatari series.
