Editor's note

Kana Hanazawa, the voice behind Renai Circulation

A Japanese voice actress and singer known for anime themes and solo pop songs.

If you only know her from "Renai Circulation," check out "Koi no Hajimari" for a cleaner pop feel. That one and "Magical Fantasy Tour" give you a decent sense of her range.

Her 2009 song "Renai Circulation" from Bakemonogatari became a cultural touchstone for anime fans, and she's kept releasing solo tracks like "Koi no Hajimari" and "Magical Fantasy Tour" since. She's worked with notable producers like Supercell and Yuki Kajiura, which adds some weight to her catalog. It's a straightforward pop voice that's stayed in the mix for over a decade.

She started performing in 2003, but the Bakemonogatari theme in 2009 really put her on the map. Since then, she's put out solo songs like "Mousou Express" and "Kuchibue Jet," sticking to her lane as a voice actress who sings.
