The anime has even sneaked into the state cabinet
In today’s anime world, there are few series as popular as Kimetsu no Yaiba, its tragic story, but full of nuances, unparalleled fights and wars have made a place in the hearts of its fans. In fact, the franchise is at an all-time high these days thanks to its second season, the Red Light District Arc has become one of the favorites for the revelations it is having. For all this, it is not an exaggeration to say that this anime has millions of fans at the moment, so anyone could be part of this fandom … even the Secretary of State of the United States.
This sounds like a joke (and we’re not judging you for thinking it is), but this time we’re serious about it and we have the evidence to back it up. It all started with Antony Blinken, the secretary of state of Joe Biden’s administration, in his Spotify list he has included the main theme of the movie Kimetsu no Yaiba: Mugen Train, played by Japanese songwriter and singer LiSA. In fact, the single is still on their year-end playlist on Spotify that you can check right now.
Under the title “Secretary’s 2021 Playlist: On the Road “, this American politician recommended the main theme of the film Kimetsu no Yaiba: Mugen Train. In addition to this song, the Spotify playlist he shared has other artists such as Natalia Lafourcade, The Weekend, MINZY, among many more. Certainly, it is undeniable that the popularity of this anime has broken paradigms as demonstrated by this politician.
Even politicians are fans of Kimetsu no Yaiba
In this regard, Antony Blinken spoke about his relationship with Kimetsu no Yaiba and his taste in music: “Music has been a constant in my life and, at the end of the year, I wanted to take a moment to share some of my favorite songs released this year ( or recently) by artists from all over the world. No matter where we live, music can inspire us. I hope you enjoy these songs as much as I do. “In truth, the great music distribution he did on his playlist shows an honest effort to share music from around the world.
As you can see on Spotify, the Secretary of State included LiSA’s “Homura” on the list.. As we mentioned, this talented artist joins others like The Weekend, Minzy, Vance Joy, Adele, Dua Lipa, Balti, and more. Although, this otaku recommendation has taken many people by surprise who did not see an anime fan in the profile of the American politician, even less of Kimetsu no Yaiba. This isn’t the first government figure to reference anime, and Blinken won’t be the last. After all, the show is having great success with its second season and the Red Light District Arc.. So if LiSA presents another theme for the anime, this American politician may be in the front row.
