If you’re a fan of Hololive and iconic anime theme songs, the latest collaboration between Korone Inugami and Kanata Amane is a dream come true. On April 22, 2026, Korone Inugami released a stunning cover of “departure!,” the legendary opening theme for the Hunter x Hunter anime. This duet is more than just a cover; it’s a vibrant celebration of friendship, energy, and the spirit of adventure.
The Powerhouse Duo: Korone x Kanata
The choice of vocalists for this cover couldn’t be more perfect. Korone Inugami, known for her infectious energy and “dog-like” enthusiasm [01:21], brings a bright, punchy tone to the song. On the other hand, Kanata Amane, renowned for her incredible vocal range and powerful delivery [01:09], provides a solid melodic foundation. Together, their voices harmonize beautifully, capturing the optimistic and soaring nature of the original track.
A Visual Treat for Fans
The music video accompanying the track is a masterpiece of fan-service and high-quality animation. It’s filled with dynamic scenes that reflect the adventurous theme of Hunter x Hunter.
- Iconic References: The MV features charming nods to the anime, with characters dressed in outfits that echo the series’ aesthetic [01:49].
- High-Energy Animation: The visual style is fast-paced and colorful, perfectly matching the upbeat tempo of the song [01:34].
- Adorable Interactions: Fans will love the sweet moments between Korone and Kanata, showcasing their strong bond [01:30].
Why This Cover Stands Out
What makes this rendition of “departure!” so special is the genuine joy radiating from the performers. You can feel the fun they had recording it, which makes the listening experience incredibly uplifting. Whether you’re a long-time Hunter x Hunter fan or a dedicated Hololive follower, this cover is guaranteed to put a smile on your face and get you ready for your own “departure” into a new day.
Final Verdict
Korone Inugami and Kanata Amane have delivered one of the most memorable Hololive covers to date. Their take on “departure!” is energetic, technically impressive, and visually captivating. It serves as a great reminder of why these two idols are so beloved by the community.
