Eir Aoi released a double tie-up single in April featuring "Unrealistic," the opening theme for That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Season 4, and "MONSTER," the opening theme for Classroom of the Elite 4th Season: Second Year, First Semester. In an interview with Beneath the Tangles, the singer reflected on her 15-year career, from her debut with "Memoria" for Fate/Zero to performing at Nippon Budokan and across multiple continents. She described writing for two very different series as an exciting challenge, noting that "Unrealistic" was built around a large-scale rock sound to match the expansive world of Tensura, while "MONSTER" let her explore a genre she had not worked with often. Aoi also spoke about the anxiety she felt early in her career and her gratitude that anime songs can be rediscovered years later through the series they accompany.
