Japanese rapper, producer, and BMSG CEO SKY-HI releases the highly anticipated single for the highly anticipated Netflix anime “Baki Hanma” Season 2 – “The Father vs. Son,” featuring the captivating opening theme, “Sarracenia,” written and performed by SKY-HI, and the moving ending theme, “Salvia,” expertly crafted by BE:FIRST, a 7-member dance and vocal group.
Japanese composer and “Baki Hanma” fan Ryosuke “Dr.R” Sakai was invited to develop “Sarracenia.” (SKY-HI is a manga fan).
In “Sarracenia,” SKY-HI examines Baki Hanma’s formidable father, Yujiro Hanma’s deep ideas on masculinity and strength. The song seamlessly blends SKY-HI’s emotive vocals with resonant sounds to present a captivating tale. Like the song, the music video is a fascinating cinematic journey through Yujiro Hanma’s complicated thoughts and emotions as brought to life by SKY-HI.
However, BE:FIRST’s “Salvia.” features Baki Hanma, the Baki series’ protagonist. The lyrics, penned by SKY-HI, reveal Baki Hanma’s strong goals. They vividly depict Baki’s ravenous thirst for power by having each member interpret the song in their own musical manner. A chemical mix of the track’s sorrow and sharpness creates an emotionally powerful song.
Both ‘Sarracenia’ and ‘Salvia’ use the identical voice sample to show the’same blood’ link. BE:FIRST, SKY-HI’s musical progeny, and SKY-HI, a musician and producer, brilliantly coupled the theme songs for “Baki Hanma” Season 2 – The Father vs. Son Saga”.
