Shinku Horou

Artist

Shinku Horou is a Japanese rock band centered on vocalist Akito Matsumoto, known for driving rhythms, emotionally textured guitar work, string arrangements, and Matsumoto's impassioned singing. A representative anime tie-up is 'Niji,' an ending theme for 'NARUTO Shippuden' and the band's first anime collaboration—a straightforward message song. Lyrics are by Matsumoto, with composition and arrangement co-handled by the band and Honoka Sato. The single also featured coupling tracks including the dark Christmas number 'Snow White.'
