Gender of person who sings Bleach's eleventh opening (Anima Rossa)? My favourite Bleach song is the eleventh opening: Anima Rossa by Porno Graffiti. My sister, who is a big fan of Bleach, says it's a male who sings it. I, who is only on episode 86, believes it is a female. It just sounds like one.

Despite the song sounding as though a female sings it, I too have reasons to believe it is sung by a male. My reason is because, I remember noticing that Fullmetal Alchemist's (2003 series; not Brotherhood) first opening theme-Melissa- is also by Porno Graffiti... but the singer is audibly male. You can just tell. Although, I don't want to believe a MALE sings Anima Rossa.

I need to know, because I imagine certain characters singing my favourite anime songs (but the character has to be from the same anime as the song :P ), and I imagined Rangiku singing it. I have no idea why; I just did (and still do). But if it's a male who sings it... I have to change that.

I'd appreciate it if you could give me unquestionable evidence.
According to Wikipedia


  Porno Graffitti (ポルノグラフィティ Poruno Gurafiti), also known as Porno (ポルノ Poruno) is a Japanese male rock band from Innoshima, Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan.


Current and Past Members only lists 3 names and Wikipedia only has a link to the past member Masami Shiratama which says:


  After leaving the band in June 2004, he released the album Great Pleasure in December 2005.


Akihito Okano (who does vocals) and Haruichi Shindō (who does background vocals) have profiles on generasia and both lists to have wives. Considering that same-sex marriage is not legal in japan and their images on generasia look like men, I would conclude that your sister is correct and that it is a Male singing it.

If you are still in doubt, I checked to see if I could find a live performance of Anima Rossa on Youtube and here is the Link
