SawanoHiroyuki[nZk]

SawanoHiroyuki[nZk] is a vocal project by renowned Japanese composer and producer Hiroyuki Sawano, known for his dynamic and cinematic music style. Launching the [nZk] project in 2014, Sawano began exploring a more vocal-centric approach to his work, collaborating with a rotating lineup of guest vocalists from both the J-pop and anime music scenes. While he’s widely recognized for his powerful soundtracks for anime series like Attack on Titan, Kill la Kill, and Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn, SawanoHiroyuki[nZk] lets him blend those signature sounds with lyrics and vocal melodies, resulting in emotionally charged tracks that blur the lines between pop, rock, and orchestral music.

Under the SawanoHiroyuki[nZk] name, he’s released several full-length albums and singles, many of which have served as theme songs for anime titles and games. His musical collaborations include performances with artists like Aimer, Takanori Nishikawa, LiSA, mizuki, and many others. Whether it’s pulse-pounding beats or sweeping ballads, the [nZk] project showcases Sawano’s versatility and deep understanding of musical storytelling across genres.
