#LiSA's Demon Slayer TV Anime Theme Tops Spotify's Global Japanese Artist and Song Charts for 2020
“#LiSA's Demon Slayer TV Anime Theme Tops Spotify's Global Japanese Artist and Song Charts for 2020”
Spotify released their top lists for the last year today, letting listeners discover just how many times they had the Persona 5 soundtrack on repeat in 2020 (personally, I was in the top 14%). Among those stats was the top Japanese artist and the top Japanese song listened to people outside of the country, and surprise surprise, LiSA topped both those charts with her hit opening theme song from Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba "Gurenge". Is there no music chart the songstress can conquer?
