Two female vocalists have visited the sacred place for Sword Art Online anime fans!
The extremely popular anime Sword Art Online began airing in July 2012 and is now slated for a second season. Two female vocalists, Aoi Eir and Haruna Luna, who sang the theme songs to the anime, appeared in front of the Tokorozawa train station on Dec. 1, 2012. This location has become a sacred place for fans of Sword Art Online after being featured in scenes from the opening of the anime's Fairy Dance Arc.
Aoi Eir and Haruna Luna, who both got their big breaks after performing ending themes for Fate/Zero and subsequently performed together at various events such as Animelo Summer Live 2012, are also known to be close personal friends. There had been much anticipation for the pair who sang the opening and ending themes for the same anime to make a pilgrimage to Tokorozawa station. The wishes of fans have finally been fulfilled.
Aoi Eir debuted with the ending theme “Memoria” for Fate/Zero in October 2012 and released the opening theme “Innocence” for Sword Art Online on Nov. 21, 2012.
The song debuted at number six on the Oricon chart, which was a personal best for the singer. On the other hand, Haruna Luna debuted with the ending theme “Sora wa Takaku, Kaze wa Utau” for Fate/Zero in May 2012. She released the ending theme “Overfly” for Sword Art Online on Nov. 28, 2012, which debuted at number eight on the Oricon chart. The song also topped the charts on various music download sites.
These two artists are definitely worth paying attention!
