Formed in 2010, MAN WITH A MISSION, noted for always wearing wolf heads while performing, is made up of vocalist Tokyo Tanaka, guitarist Jean-ken Johnny, bassist Kamikaze Boy, disc-jockey DJ Santa Monica, and drummer Spear Rib. According to the band’s web site, the members were created by a Dr. Jimi with incredible intelligence and super human strength, but were locked away in icy stasis. With conflict abound and the world under attack, MAN WITH A MISSION were freed by the melting ice and ready to resume their duties. Anime fans are familiar with the band with their songs used as the opening themes to My Hero Academia, Vinland Saga, The Seven Deadly Sins and Golden Kamuy.
milet began singing professionally in 2018, leading to her songs being selected for the closing themes of Vinland Saga and Fate/Grand Order – Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia. The world was introduced to milet with her rendition of “Hymne à l’amour” at the closing ceremonies of the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo.
