This week, our Thursday's Lyrics is going to be a bit different. You see, the song chosen is usually selected due to its meaning or because of the music, lyrics, or intention it conveys. This week, we are changing up the gears as it is already October 2, and what better way to celebrate the start of Spooky Season than a rock song being performed for four teenagers, a priestess, and a boatload of spirits in the middle of the night, all while in the middle of an exorcism? The song is called "Hunting Soul" by HAYASii, voiced by Marc Hudson, the lead singer of the real-life band Dragonforce, and is performed in season two of the anime DAN DA DAN, which is described below. Welcome to Spooky Season, everyone!
Based on the popular manga by Yukinobu Tatsu, DAN DA DAN is an electrifying, action-packed love letter to sci-fi and horror with the heart of a ruthlessly funny teen rom-com. DAN DA DAN follows Momo, a high school girl from a family of spirit mediums, and her classmate Okarun, an occult geek. In this new arc, Momo and Okarun set out on their latest adventure, traveling to a hot spring town, to the home rented by Jiji, Momo’s childhood friend and former crush, intending to solve the mystery surrounding his family. When they arrive, strange locals derail their investigation before it can properly begin, and the group soon learns there’s more lurking under the surface of the town than they could have imagined.
