SennaRin (茜雫 凛, Senna Rin, born September 23, 2001) is a Japanese singer, lyricist and illustrator, signed to Sacra Music under Sony Music Labels. Starting her singing career by covering J-pop music and anime songs, she made her debut as a solo artist on April 13, 2022, with the release of her debut EP Dignified.[3][4] Two tracks from the EP, "dust" and "melt", were used as the opening and ending theme song in the anime series Legend of the Galactic Heroes: Die Neue These.[5][6][7] SennaRin's first single, "Saihate", was featured as the ending theme song in the anime Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War.[8]

Career

SennaRin was born in Fukuoka Prefecture, in 2001. In 2019, she started a YouTube channel and began uploading her covers of popular Japanese songs, mostly the ones featured in anime.[9]

In early 2022, SennaRin made three pre-releases of tracks from the extended play Dignified—all of which were used in collaboration projects. The first track, "dust", was released on March 3, 2022; it was used as the opening theme song in the anime series Legend of the Galactic Heroes: Die Neue These.[5][6][7] The second track, "BEEP", released on March 7, 2022, was used as the theme song on J Sports Rugby 2022.[10] The third track, "melt", released on March 13, 2022, was used as the ending theme song in the anime series Legend of the Galactic Heroes: Die Neue These.[11]

On March 13, 2022, SennaRin attended the live event "Hiroyuki Sawano LIVE [nZk]007", at Tokyo International Forum. The event had performances by her and other guest vocals,[12][13] being later streamed to overseas audiences.[14]

SennaRin's performances on YouTube caught the attention of the Japanese composer and music producer Hiroyuki Sawano,[15] leading him to produce her debut extended play Dignified. The EP, released on April 13, 2022, charted at number 59 at Oricon.[16]

SennaRin's first live concert, "HIGH FIVE 2022", was held on April 15, 2022, in her hometown of Fukuoka.[17] On June 18, 2022, in Saudi Arabia, she held her first solo concert of her career. The event took place at Anime Village, in Jeddah, with her performing 16 songs.[2] SennaRin performed at Animethon 2022, an anime convention that took place in August 2022, in Edmonton, Canada.[1][18][19][20] She also attended a live concert at Shibuya WWWX on October 7.[1]

SennaRin released her first single, "Saihate", on November 23, 2022; it was used as the ending theme song in the anime Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War.[8] Her first studio album, ADRENA, is set to be released on May 15, 2024.[21]

Musical style and influences

SennaRin is defined as a "next generation pop singer",[18] described as having an appealing, husky and soft voice.[2] She is also referred to as a singer with a "characteristic low tone and a sense of transparency".[3]
