TOMONARI SORA Unleashes a Battle Cry with “咆哮 -HOKO-” for Kingdom Season 6

Rising artist TOMONARI SORA continues his rapid ascent as one of Japan’s most dynamic new voices with the digital release of “咆哮 -HOKO-”, the ending theme song for the highly anticipated TV anime Kingdom Season 6, available from October 19 across all major streaming platforms. The release coincides with the premiere of the anime’s ending sequence video, now live on the official Kingdom YouTube channel.

Written, composed, and arranged entirely by TOMONARI SORA himself, “咆哮 -HOKO-” centers on the theme of “a clash of convictions” — a sonic embodiment of courage, struggle, and unwavering belief. To capture this intensity, SORA collaborated with an American football team, recording the real sounds of protective gear, battle cries, and thundering footsteps directly from the field. The result is a visceral, cinematic soundscape that mirrors the ferocity and soul of Kingdom’s world — a track that channels conviction not only in its lyrics, but in every layer of its sound.

With its commanding energy and emotional depth, “咆哮 -HOKO-” marks another powerful chapter in TOMONARI SORA’s artistic evolution — a fusion of experimental sound design, emotional storytelling, and fearless originality.

TOMONARI SORA’s artistic momentum has been undeniable. Earlier this month, he delivered a standout performance at Avex Music Night, an exclusive showcase held during Groovedriver Festival as part of Grand Prix Season Singapore. Commanding the stage with magnetic presence, he had the audience chanting his name in unison — “SORA! SORA! SORA!” — a testament to his growing international appeal.

His music has also found resonance beyond the stage. Fan-favorite track “鬼ノ宴 (Demons Banquet)” was recently tapped for a high-profile collaboration with one of Japan’s household snack brands, pairing its fiery energy with the rich flavor of a new “Pure Potato” chip campaign. The partnership underscores TOMONARI SORA’s ability to blend art and mass appeal — his sound transcending boundaries between underground and mainstream.

As he continues to blur the lines between music, storytelling, and emotion, TOMONARI SORA stands poised to become one of Japan’s most compelling exports — an artist whose sound knows no borders.
