ReoNa Sings KimiShinu Opening, Cites Long Fandom In Megami Feature
The interview ties the song directly to ReoNa's existing relationship with Nachi Aono rather than a routine theme-song assignment, which is the pitch behind the single's opening placement.
Reporting from 1 source: Anime Anime.
ReoNa appears in Megami Magazine's September 2026 "Megami's Voice" interview feature, talking about "Amore," her opening theme for the Kimi ga Shinu made Koi wo Shitai anime. She says she read Nachi Aono's original manga for a long time and had met the author through a radio program and at her live shows. She recorded the song with Pan of LIVE LAB., who wrote the lyrics and handled composition and arrangement.
ReoNa's involvement with Kimi ga Shinu made Koi wo Shitai did not begin with the anime. She told Megami Magazine that she had been reading Nachi Aono's manga for a long time, and that Aono had appeared on a radio program with her and attended her live shows. That history shaped how she wrote "Amore."
She describes the setting as a boarding school where children without relatives gather, and says she wanted music that stays close to characters filling what they have lost. Pan of LIVE LAB. wrote the lyrics and composed and arranged the track, and ReoNa says the two coordinated on how the song should sound.
