Shugo Nakamura’s Illuminate to Serve as OP for The Gorilla God’s Go-To Girl

By Josh PiedraApril 8, 2025
Voice actor and singer-songwriter Shugo Nakamura has released his latest song, “Illuminate,” for early streaming on digital services, along with a music video.

Written and composed by Nakamura himself, “Illuminate” serves as the opening theme for the TV anime The Gorilla God’s Go-To Girl. This marks the first time that Nakamura performs an anime opening theme. The song features a brass sound that perfectly captures the feeling of springtime romance, paired with heartfelt and straightforward lyrics that are distinctly his own.

The music video, Nakamura’s first drama-style production featuring a cast, was filmed at an amusement park, creating a vibrant and spring-like atmosphere filled with dazzling visuals. Highlights include scenes shot against a beautifully illuminated carousel and twinkling night lights, offering a fresh new side of Nakamura not seen in his previous music videos.

The physical release is set for April 23 and will be available in both a Limited Edition and a Standard Edition. The Limited Edition includes a Blu-ray featuring the “Illuminate” music video along with behind-the-scenes footage.
