How Mori Calliope used VTubing to build a path to her dream 'Gachiakuta' collab

Mori Calliope, the popular English‑speaking VTuber, will perform the opening theme for the second cour of the anime series *Gachiakuta*. The song, titled “LET’S JUST CRASH,” reflects Calliope’s passion for the show, which she has publicly declared her favorite. Her involvement stems from a long‑standing friendship with the manga’s creator, Kei Urana, with whom she has exchanged fan art and admiration over the years.

Calliope describes the track as capturing the essence of “hope in the gutter,” a theme that resonates with the anime’s gritty, dystopian world. She says the creative process was challenging yet enjoyable, driven by her desire to do justice to a series she loves. Working closely with her producer, she incorporated “trash‑core” sounds and blended rock and rap elements to craft a song that truly represents the story.

For Calliope, this collaboration marks a significant milestone in her career, fulfilling a long‑held dream of creating music for anime. She hopes the project will open doors for more virtual artists to work with anime and game producers in the future. Her enthusiastic and dedicated fan base is expected to expand as the partnership introduces her music to a broader audience.

*Gachiakuta* has garnered a substantial following for its unique mix of action, drama, and dark humor, as well as its distinct art style. Calliope’s participation underscores the growing influence of virtual artists in the music and entertainment industries. As the second cour premieres, fans can anticipate a thrilling, emotional ride accompanied by Calliope’s powerful and uplifting opening theme.
