A Collaboration Like No Other; Solo Leveling Season 2 Featuring Felix of Stray Kids
LiSA is no stranger to anime fans. Her previous iconic works, such as the Demon Slayer openings, have made her a household name in the anime music scene. Her ability to infuse her songs with raw emotion and high-energy intensity is legendary in this Solo Leveling Season 2 Featuring Felix of Stray Kids.
Felix, on the other hand, has proven time and time again why he’s one of the standout members of Stray Kids. His signature deep voice, which carries an unmatched sense of emotion and power, complements LiSA’s soaring vocals beautifully in "ReawakeR." The blend of their voices brings an intense feeling of awakening, a theme that aligns perfectly with the growth and challenges of Solo Leveling’s protagonist, Sung Jin-Woo.
Solo Leveling, also alternatively translated as Only I Level Up (Korean: 나 혼자만 레벨업; RR: Na Honjaman Rebeleop), is a South Korean portal fantasy web novel written by Chugong. It was serialized in Kakao's digital comic and fiction platform KakaoPage beginning on July 25, 2016, and was later published by D&C Media under their Papyrus label on November 4, 2016.

A webtoon adaptation of Solo Leveling was first serialized in KakaoPage on March 4, 2018; it was illustrated by Jang Sung-rak (Dubu) and the webtoon's first season concluded on March 19, 2020, followed by its second season, which was released from August 2020 to December 2021.
