Aki Asahina

Artist

Aki Asahina is a Japanese singer-songwriter who has worked under an Avex-affiliated label and is known as an artist who also composes her own material. She sang 'Believing', the ending theme of the TV anime 'Human Crossing' (Ningen Kousaten HUMAN SCRAMBLE)—based on the popular manga by Kenshi Hirokane that was also adapted into a TV drama—and composed the song herself, with lyrics by Goro Matsui and arrangement by U-ZO. Echoing the world of the original work, a weighty human drama portraying the lives of ordinary people, she delivered a song that leaves a deep impression on the viewer's heart through her mature, delicate vocals and emotionally rich melody. As a singer-songwriter who contributed to the work in both performance and composition, she remains a memorable presence in any discussion of the series' music.
