In Gravitation, Kotani was the singing voice for the lead singer of 'Bad Luck', Shuichi Shindou. Commonly mistaken as the seiyuu, he is the voice behind all the songs that Shindou sings, such as 'Rage Beat', 'Blind Game Again', 'Smashing Blue', and many others. Another misconception is that songs not intended for the Gravitation series are considered 'Gravitation songs'.
