In 2010, LiSA made her major debut singing songs for the TV anime Angel Beats! as one of two vocalists for the fictional in-story band Girls Dead Monster.[3][4] LiSA was the vocalist for the character Yui, and the second vocalist, Marina, sung songs as the character Masami Iwasawa.[4] As Girls Dead Monster, LiSA put out three singles and one album in 2010 on Key's record label Key Sounds Label.
