My Take
Maon Kurosaki died in February 2023, at thirty-five. That number is the first thing I think about whenever her name comes up, because it is nowhere near enough time for a singer. She was spotted performing in Akihabara, signed with NBCUniversal Entertainment Japan, and made her major debut in 2010 with ending themes for Highschool of the Dead, then released her first album under that show's initials. Anime songs work differently from other pop music. They do not sit alone in your memory; they fuse with a scene, a credit roll, a particular year of your life, so a listener cannot separate the voice from the moment it belonged to. Which means that when the singer goes first, the voice keeps arriving on schedule, exactly as loud as before. It sounds cruel written down, but I think it is the closest thing to mercy this line of work offers.
