SACRA
MUSIC has released a new single from esteemed composer HIROYUKI SAWANO’s
vocal project SawanoHiroyuki[nZk] featuring global K-pop superstars TOMORROW
X TOGETHER entitled “LEveL.”
Featured
as the opening theme to the newly debuted TV animation SOLO LEVELING,
the track includes a distinctive rhythm and addictive sound composed by Sawano
and complemented by guest vocals from TOMORROW x TOGETHER, who perfectly match
the series’ powerful, high-speed storyline.
Known for his musical contributions to numerous anime series, TV dramas and films including Attack on Titan, Mobile Suit Gundam: Hathaway’s Flash and Promare, Sawano was tasked with both Solo Leveling’s opening theme as well as the series’ original score music. The hugely anticipated series made its worldwide debut last weekend, and is based on the Korean novel and comic of the same name (Original Work: DUBU (REDICE STUDIO), Chugong, h-goon [D&C Webtoon Biz.]), which has become an international hit.
Of the
song, HIROYUKI SAWANO says, “I feel very honored to produce the music
for Solo Leveling and also the main theme as SawanoHiroyuki[nZk]. I am
thankful for this opportunity to work with TOMORROW X TOGETHER. Their diverse
vocal styles enhanced the track’s groove and the edge of the sound, and I was
able to work feeling their talents on hand. It is a work that I look forward to
seeing as a TV viewer myself, so I really hope people will enjoy the anime
along with my music.”
