If you\u2019re a fan, you may have noticed that the vast majority of these theme songs are sung by Kanako It\u014d or Zwei. But what you may not know is that the creator of the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Science Adventure Series<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> himself, Chiyomaru Shikura, doubles as the composer and lyricist for all the theme songs. This means these songs often hint at the story to come and contain revelations that only become clear in hindsight.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s for these reasons and many more that I love the theme songs of the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Science Adventure Series<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
