I have been fangirling this song for several days now. XO Gyakufuu no Toki ni Hitori is the ending theme to Harukanaru Toki no Naka de 3: Kurenai no Tsuki (anime and otome game). This ultra-sexy voice belongs to Miki Shinichiro who voiced Arikawa Masaomi (one of the main characters to the series).

Miki-sama is the third most prolific seiyu in Japan and is well-known for his roles as Urahara Kisuke from Bleach, Hijikata Toshizo from Hakuoki, and James from Pokemon. The first two are my favorite btw. As of today, he has voiced over 230+, I’m sure a sampling or two of his have been heard before.

Anyway, it is extremely rare to hear Miki-sensei’s singing as he has gradually stepped away from the performing character/theme songs now-in-days. Though, his ability is not top notch, his voice is still lovely and soothing. He certainly did a beautiful job hitting the notes for Gyakufuu and much emotion was expressed. The lyrics described his character (Masaomi) accurately along with his relationship with the heroine, Kasuga Nozomi. It is very Romeo-Juliet as they were fighting on opposing sides..yeah, I’m such a sucker of these.

daremo ore no koto wo
shiru mono no nai sekai
hatenai yami no kanata no
mirai wo shinjiyou

I’m here in this world
where nobody knows me
but on the other side of the endless darkness
I believe that there is a future
