If you’re a fan of Demon Slayer, you already know how powerful the opening theme “Gurenge” is. But you’ve never heard it like this; played on the street by a teenage violinist who turns every note into pure emotion. Karolina Protsenko, just 15, takes one of anime’s most intense soundtracks and transforms it into a soulful, live performance that feels like magic in motion.
Her cover of “Gurenge” isn’t just about music. It’s a fusion of worlds; anime and classical, fire and finesse as she plays, she doesn’t just hit the notes. She tells a story. Her bow dances across the strings, her body moves with the rhythm and suddenly, a street becomes a stage.

The people walking by can’t help but stop. You can see the surprise on their faces—some pull out their phones, others just stand quietly, watching a young girl pour her heart into a song that’s usually blasted in anime openings. But here, it’s different. It’s softer, but just as powerful. It’s Karolina’s version.
This performance shows a whole new side to the girl who wowed fans with her emotional cover of Bon Jovi’s “Always.” From heartfelt ballads to intense anime themes, her versatility is unmatched.

That same magic carries through all her music. Whether it’s rock, pop, or anime, she makes it personal. She makes it beautiful. Anime fans, violin lovers, or just anyone needing a beautiful moment—this performance is one you’ll want to watch again and again.
