EMI NODA releases debut album “blue” with anime hits and viral favorites
EMI NODA has officially launched her much-awaited first full-length album titled blue, a 12-track collection that encapsulates her musical evolution and emotional depth since debuting in 2022.
The album includes her breakout hit “LOST TIME ロスタイム,” the viral “ASHITA 明日” (which has amassed over 10 million streams), and her most recent single “SHODO 衝動,” written as the opening theme for the anime adaptation of Teogonia 神統記(テオゴニア), a bestselling fantasy novel series with over 600,000 copies sold. “SHODO” stands out as a reflection of the anime’s central themes — growth, emotional conflict, and inner strength.
Fan-favorite “OKAERI” finally gets an official release
One of the most anticipated inclusions in blue is “OKAERI おかえり,” a beloved unreleased track that fans have long requested to be made available on streaming platforms. Its heartfelt lyrics and nostalgic tone make it a perfect fit for the album’s emotional core.
EMI NODA blends raw vocal intensity, addictive pop hooks, and honest storytelling throughout blue, making it both a milestone for her career and a personal message to listeners. The album reveals her versatility — bridging anime fandom, personal experience, and contemporary J-pop energy.
