"Kamado Tanjiro no Uta" (竈門炭治郎のうた, lit. "Tanjiro Kamado's song") is a song by Japanese composer

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba by Ufotable
.

Composition and lyrics

The composer Go Shiina, who is also involved in the production of anime gekitomo music, composed the song. Nami Nakagawa, who is in charge of vocals, participates as a chorus in various scenes in the animation, including the voice that flows in the subtitle of "Kimetsu no Yaiba".[1]

The lyrics were written by Ufotable. It expresses the determination of the main character, Tanjiro Kamado, who stands up from despair and struggles to protect his younger sister Nezuko.[2] Manga.Tokyo praised the song, commenting "it was a good way to finish the narrative about the Kamado siblings."[3] The song was used in the climax scene and ending of episode 19 "Hinokami".[2]

In general, most of the inserted songs are only soundtrack collections that summarize BGM, but after the main animation broadcast, many voices requesting the full version of the single song reached the production side, and it became an unusual download sale of the inserted song.[citation needed]
