KALA is a member of Cloud9 Esports Inc., a world-class e-sports team that has been ranked high in numerous competitive titles, and the CD single of “KINGSBLOOD” will be released on May 14 from SACRA MUSIC, a label established within Sony Music Labels to promote music, especially anime songs, to the world.
Message from KALA:
Being the intro artist for “The Beginning After the End” is an incredible opportunity, and a lifelong dream come true. Anime has had a huge influence on both my life and my music, so when this chance came up, I immediately immersed myself in the “TBATE” universe. I was drawn in right away and connected deeply with the story and its themes of struggle and triumph. I hope “KINGSBLOOD” gets fans excited, but more than that, I want it to inspire people to push forward and grow. Rebirth isn’t just a concept in fiction–it’s something we all have the power to experience. Don’t let the Hero in you die.
Prior to the release of the CD single, the title tune is now available on digital platforms for download and streaming.
