More about AiNA THE END:
AiNA THE END started her career in 2015 as a member of the “instrument-free punk band” BiSH, and made her major-label debut the following year. In 2021, she released her first self-written solo album, ‘THE END’, marking the start of her solo career. When BiSH sadly disbanded in June 2023, she continued as a solo artist.
She has also provided theme songs for a number of anime series and films, including the ending theme ‘Red:birthmark’ for Season 2 of ‘Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury’, ending theme ‘The Spell’ for ‘The Apothecary Diaries’, and theme song ‘Love Sick’ for ‘Mononoke the Movie: Phantom in the Rain’.
