Comment from Igarashi Haru (Opening Theme Artist): I’m Haru Igarashi, and I’m in charge of “Dead End,” the opening theme for the anime series “Dead Account.”
I poured my heart into every note of the song, so as not to lose the worldview, sense of pace, and the deep emotions hidden in the original work. During the production process, I felt immersed in the work. I hope this song adds even a little color to the beginning of the story. I hope you enjoy it. Comment from Kaneko Miyu (Ending Theme Artist): As a huge anime fan, I’m honored to be in charge of the ending theme for “Dead Account.”
The work and the song are linked in many places, and the song’s appeal deepens as the story progresses. I hope you’ll listen to it a lot. The currently released promotional video is also beautiful, so please enjoy it too. Thank you. Added 2025/12/11 18:28: Igarashi Haru’s comment has been added since the article was first published.
