With the many, many anime titles coming this Winter 2022, we also have an equally long list of interesting music artists to add to our playlists.
Today, we're featuring jazz group MONONKVL (pronounced as Mononkul) who sings the ending theme Salvation for the second cour of The Case Study of Vanitas, scheduled to air on Jan. 14, 2022.
Their music is an interesting choice for this series, with a modern, more upbeat sound that contrasts to the mood of the Beast of Gévaudan story arc. We'd say the title is very, very fitting for Vanitas' character though, so we can't wait to hear this song again coupled with more scenes from the actual series.
The single "Salvation" will be released in Japan on Feb. 23, 2022.
