Apr 14, 2025 (Netflix Anime) - After rebel forces attack Earth, a carefree heir becomes the prime suspect and joins a special military unit to find the true mastermind on the Moon.

AiNA THE END (アイナ・ジ・エンド) is a Japanese singer, songwriter, and actress, renowned for her distinctive husky voice and emotionally charged performances. Born on December 27, 1994, in Osaka Prefecture, she initially gained prominence as a founding member of the idol group BiSH, often described as a "punk band without instruments." Within BiSH, she was notable not only for her vocal prowess but also for choreographing performances for both BiSH and the group Empire.

After BiSH disbanded in 2023, AiNA embarked on a solo career, showcasing her versatility across various artistic domains. She has released multiple solo albums, including "The End" (2021), "The Zombie" (2021), and "Ruby Pop" (2024), each reflecting her unique blend of J-pop and rock influences. Her solo work often delves into themes of vulnerability and resilience, resonating with a broad audience.

In addition to her music career, AiNA has made significant strides in acting. She starred in the 2023 film "Kyrie," directed by Shunji Iwai, for which she also composed and performed the soundtrack. Her portrayal earned her accolades, including the Best New Artist award at the Hochi Film Awards and Newcomer of the Year at the Japan Academy Film Prize. Furthermore, she lent her voice to the character Porsha Crystal in the Japanese dub of "Sing 2" (2021).

AiNA's contributions to anime are notable as well. She performed the ending theme "Red:birthmark" for the second season of "Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury" (2023) and "Ai Kotoba" for "The Apothecary Diaries" (2023). In 2025, she released "Daijoubu," the ending theme for the anime "Moonrise," further cementing her status as a versatile artist in the Japanese entertainment industry.
