Tsurupeta (つるぺた)

"Tsurupeta (つるぺた)" is performed by Hisako Kanemoto and appears in Kotoura-san, also known as The Troubled Life of Miss Kotoura (琴浦さん), as the series' third ending theme. Released in 2013, the song is tied to the television anime produced by AIC Classic.

Musically, it sits in straightforward J-Pop, built around a brisk tempo, bright melodic phrasing, and a light, playful vocal delivery from Kanemoto. The arrangement favors a compact pop structure, with an immediately catchy refrain and a buoyant tone that keeps the performance nimble rather than dramatic.

Within Kotoura-san, that cheerful surface suits the series' balance of awkward comedy and more vulnerable emotional material. As ED 3, the song closes episodes with a lighter mood, offsetting the story's strain around Haruka Kotoura's mind-reading and reinforcing the show's movement between tenderness, embarrassment, and relief.
