Sousou no Frieren does it again and now in the musical field. We well knew back then in 2023, when this anime was just debuting, that it would be the favorite of many and that it would get a very special place in our hearts. Not only did it sweep the board in terms of plot, but also in terms of waifus, quality, memes and music, the latter being the one we will delve into in this article, thanks to its spectacular opening.
The opening of Sousou no frieren surpassed 100 million views on Youtube
Through the official account of the Sousou no Frieren manga in X/Twitter, it was announced (for those who are not aware of Youtube), that the opening of the series has already exceeded 100 million views on the video platform. This remarkable piece of music is by none other than the popular Japanese duo “YOASOBI” and is called “Yuusha“, premiering on September 29, 2023 and was uploaded to the official account of Ayase/ Yoasobi.
From the official profile of Sousou no Frieren (FRIEREN_PR) in this social network a screenshot was posted to give this nice news, in the publication we observe that the theme of “Yuusha” is being played, in addition, it gives us some information from which we can conclude very good results. In addition, there are thousands of likes that can be seen in the same video, showing their love for this audiovisual piece generated by the duo.
The support for the theme is absolutely clear, officially, this opening belonging to the anime Sousou no Frieren has exceeded 100 million views in less than a year and this figure is only increasing, waiting to continue breaking many more records of views as time goes by. The support is not only seen in these figures, but also in a “written” way, as the number of comments is also quite high, going into them we find the complete support, admiration and fascination of the fans for this song as well as for the duo in general.
For those who still don’t know this gem of a song, we invite you to listen to this song titled “Yuusha”, it is simply perfect: as usual with this famous duo, everything is perfectly developed at the production level. The lyrics are quite related to the anime of Sousou no Frieren, a theme that was perfectly done. About the voice, we can’t comment anything more than the obvious, Ikura is a singer who has a splendid voice and every time she sings she sweetens and hypnotizes us with her melodious voice.
This duo known as “YOASOBI” is not the first time that generates so much success, let’s remember that they are responsible for the theme song that became an anthem for anime fans, the well-known “Idol”, which was assigned to be the opening of the worldwide hit, Oshi no Ko. The list goes on and on, if we were to develop every great YOASOBI hit, we would never finish. We can only say that Sousou no Frieren has well deserved all the success that is still coming its way. It is an anime that came to refresh the “structure” of fantasy anime, and which also taught us a lot with its story.
