ARTIST PROFILE

LiSA first came to prominence through the hit anime TV series, Angel Beats! in 2010 where her vocal abilities shone through her role as the 2nd generation vocalist for the band within the series, "Girls Dead Monster." Subsequent releases under the band's name ranked high on the Oricon charts, steadily growing in popularity and fame.

The following year, LiSA made her debut as a solo artist with a mini-album in 2011 and enjoyed further success in chart performance. She's had a string of major tie-ups with anime series, including the iconic "oath sign" for the series Fate/Zero, "crossing field" for the hugely popular Sword Art Online series, and "Rising Hope" for The irregular at magic high school, strengthening her popularity in both the anime and pop rock world.

LiSA's fanbase not only continues to grow exponentially within, but also outside of Japan, having performed in Singapore, Jakarta, Bangkok, Taipei, Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Los Angeles, with fan bases in countries beyond as well. She made her mark in the industry with a solo concert at the legendary Budokan merely three years after her solo debut, and most recently returned to the Budokan stage in January 2015, instantly selling out 20,000 tickets over two days, solidifying her current popularity.

Her latest single, "Shirushi," was released in December 2014, and included not only one, but two ending theme songs, “Shirushi” and “No More Time Machine” for the ever popular Sword Art Online II, once again bringing her to the forefront of anime and music fans alike. Her highly anticipated third studio album, "Launcher," will be released on March 4th, 2015.

Thanks to her infectious, energetic live performances, friendly, down-to-earth disposition, and cute sense of fashion, all eyes are glued to this charismatic artist!
