MindaRyn Announces 2nd Single “Like Flames” 2nd Opening Theme Song for Season 2 of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime

MindaRyn is a Thai anisong singer who gained popularity through her anisong cover videos, and her YouTube channel has over 900,000 subscribers. She made her long-awaited debut as an anisong singer in Japan on November 18 last year with “BLUE ROSE knows,” the ending theme of By the Grace of the Gods. Now, MindaRyn is planning to release her second single “Like Flames” on August 25, 2021!

“Like Flames” is a fast-paced rock song written and composed by Sachiko, the vocalist and guitarist of the girl's rock band FliP. It will be used as the second opening theme song for season 2 of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, which will be broadcast on TOKYO MX and other TV stations from July 6, 2021 at 23:00 every Tuesday.

The coupling tracks are “You and I,” a new song written by Misaki from the rock band SpecialThanks, and Little Soldier (English Version), a translated cover of the second ending theme song of season 1 of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime.

■ Comment from MindaRyn

Sawadika! This is Thai anisong singer MindaRyn.

TenSura is very popular in Thailand, and I'm also a huge fan, so I was very happy and excited to be chosen to sing the opening theme song!

“Like Flames” is a rock song with a powerful fighting spirit. The flames represent Rimuru's fiery passion to create the world he envisions.

I feel that Rimuru's story, from being reincarnated as a slime to eventually becoming a Demon King, is similar to my own journey, during which I've met so many wonderful people and received so much support and power, so I'll be singing with all my heart.

I hope this song will flare up in your heart and make you feel ready to face tomorrow with all your might!

[Profile]

MindaRyn was exposed to Japanese culture from a young age due to her father's influence, and since she loved to sing, she began learning and singing anime theme songs.

After becoming a university student, she became more serious about her dream of becoming an anime singer and started a YouTube channel to post anime song covers. Her channel quickly reached 100,000 subscribers, earning her the Silver Creator Award. It currently has upward of 900,000 subscribers. Her videos have been viewed about 70 million times and have attracted attention not only from Thai viewers but also from viewers in other countries, including Japan, Indonesia, Taiwan and the United States.

She debuted under the Lantis label in November 2020 with her single “BLUE ROSE knows,” the ending theme of By the Grace of the Gods. In August 2021, she will release her second single “Like Flames,” the second opening theme song for season 2 of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime. In addition, she is slated to sing the ending theme song of Sacks&Guns!!, another new anime to be released this autumn.
