Nakamura Hak Scores Dual Theme Songs for Witch Hat Atelier and Lunashii
Nakamura Hak's raw, unpolished sound is being paired with two very different works, suggesting a deliberate creative choice by both productions to use music that feels unfixed and emotionally direct.

Singer-songwriter Nakamura Hak, who debuted in spring 2026, is handling the ending theme for the TV anime Witch Hat Atelier and the opening theme for the TV Tokyo drama Lunashii. Her first EP, released May 20, reached No. 2 on the Billboard JAPAN Heatseekers Songs chart. All her recordings are unedited single takes of vocals and acoustic guitar.
Nakamura Hak, a newcomer who emerged in spring 2026, has taken on an unusual double assignment: the ending theme for the TV anime Witch Hat Atelier and the opening theme for the TV Tokyo drama Lunashii. Her first EP, released on CD only on May 20, reached No. 2 for two consecutive weeks on the Billboard JAPAN Heatseekers Songs chart despite having no tie-up. All her recordings are unedited single takes of vocals and acoustic guitar, a stark contrast to polished J-Pop production. For Witch Hat Atelier, she provides three ending theme songs: 'Tada Utsukushii Noroi', 'Yoru ni Ukabu', and 'Hikari'. The lyrics of 'Tada Utsukushii Noroi' are filled with despair and prayers for rising from it, and the hoarse vocals and guitar strokes resonate as the protagonist Coco's anguished cry.
