小田和奏 (Kazusou Oda)

Kazusou Oda, known by the stage name Coda, is a Japanese singer-songwriter, composer and sound producer from Hiroshima, Japan. He first gained attention as the vocalist of the Japanese rock band No Regret Life before stepping into a solo career under his pseudonym. His breakthrough came with «BLOODY STREAM», the second opening theme for the anime JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: The Animation, a song that became widely recognized within anime fandom for its driving rock energy and soaring vocal hooks.

Coda’s sound sits at the intersection of Japanese rock and anisong (anime song) traditions, blending guitar-driven arrangements with melodic, emotionally charged vocal performances. Beyond «BLOODY STREAM», tracks such as «Fighting Gold» and «Crazy my Beat» continued his association with high-energy, hook-heavy rock songs suited to anime openings, while «IGGY WALK» and «Goodbye Nostalgia» reflect his broader songwriting outside that context.

His work has resonated particularly strongly with international anime audiences, who often discovered his music through JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure before exploring his catalog further. As a solo artist handling composition and production himself, Coda represents a distinctly Japanese strand of rock-pop songwriting where anime tie-ins and independent artistic identity coexist.
