AiNA THE END has officially made her debut on Dingo Music’s Killing Voice, and the performance is exactly what fans had been hoping for.

The performance highlighted not just her vocal strength but also the vulnerability and honesty that define her music. For longtime listeners and new audiences alike, it offered a rare, unfiltered look at her artistry.
Opening with a warm greeting in Korean, AiNA immediately set an intimate tone before launching into “Luminous,” the opening theme for the ONE PIECE Elbaf Arc. Her ability to transition seamlessly between songs created a cohesive experience that felt both personal and cinematic. Each track flowed naturally into the next, giving the performance a storytelling quality that reflected her artistic evolution.
A Setlist That Spans Anime, Film, and Personal Milestones
Rather than focusing solely on her biggest hits, AiNA’s Killing Voice setlist explored multiple phases of her career. She performed “Frail,” the theme song for the film A Strange House, followed by “Red,” known as the ending theme for Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury Season 2. These tracks highlighted her ability to balance emotional depth with powerful vocal delivery.
The medley also included “Kyrie eleison,” tied to director Shunji Iwai’s film Kyrie, a project that marked her first leading acting role. This was followed by “The Spell,” the ending theme for The Apothecary Diaries, further showcasing her strong connection to anime music. She then performed “On The Way,” her global breakthrough hit that surpassed 300 million streams and charted on the Billboard Global 200, before closing with “Don’t disappear,” a song she wrote at just 18 years old.
This carefully curated selection reflected the many sides of AiNA THE END, from anime anthems to deeply personal compositions. It wasn’t just a performance of songs but a journey through her growth as an artist.
The Killing Voice format is known for emphasizing authenticity, and it proved to be the perfect stage for AiNA THE END. Without heavy production or visual distractions, the focus remained entirely on her voice and emotional delivery. This stripped-back approach allowed her to connect with listeners on a deeper level, reinforcing why she has built such a loyal fanbase over the years.
Her performance demonstrated a unique balance between technical skill and emotional storytelling. Whether performing high-energy tracks or softer ballads, she maintained a consistent sense of honesty that resonated throughout the medley. It’s this ability to make even large-scale songs feel personal that continues to set her apart in the industry.
