Japanese Singer 9Lana to Perform the Ending Theme for the Final Season of the TV Anime BLEACH: Thousand-Year Blood War – The Calamity; New Song 'Rasen' Set for Digital Release on July 25

Japanese singer 9Lana has been selected to perform the ending theme for the final season of Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War – The Calamity, the concluding chapter of the globally acclaimed anime series BLEACH. Her brand-new song, "Rasen," will be released digitally on July 25.

Inspired by Ichigo Kurosaki's unwavering determination in the face of hardship, "Rasen" captures the full spectrum of emotions that define his journey—loneliness, resolve, despair, and hope.

Marking a first for 9Lana, the song embraces a straightforward rock sound, combining powerful band-driven energy with sweeping orchestral strings. The track showcases the full range of emotional expression that has become her trademark, delivering a performance that is both intense and deeply moving.

A fragile voice that feels as though it could fade away at any moment.
A cry that pierces the heart.
And the raw, soul-baring growl that has become synonymous with 9Lana's artistry.

“Rasen” channels emotion at its most unrestrained, standing face-to-face with the epic scale and emotional intensity of BLEACH.

Since making her major-label debut in 2024, 9Lana has earned recognition in Japan and abroad for her unique ability to convey stories through her voice alone. As her international fanbase continues to grow, particularly across North and South America, her selection for one of anime's most beloved franchises is expected to resonate with fans around the world.
“Rasen” will be released digitally on July 25.

Experience the voice of a new side of 9Lana as it echoes through the conclusion of this legendary story.

9Lana's Comment
"When I first heard that I had been chosen to perform the ending theme, I was genuinely surprised.At the same time, I remember feeling a sense of responsibility and determination, thinking, “I'm going to give this everything I have.” 

Even now, it feels almost unreal to be involved with BLEACH through music. Inspired by the strength and courage that Ichigo and his friends show as they struggle, grow, and overcome adversity, I poured my heart into this song while holding close all the emotions and lessons that BLEACH has given me."
