Summary of theme songs from the anime BLEACH

D-tecnoLifeUVERworld

UVERworld　『D-tecnoLife』

This is the major debut single by UVERworld, a six-member rock band whose name carries the meaning of “going beyond our own world.” Known for lyrics and sound packed with fiery, straightforward messages, they’re also called a “band that makes men cry.” The song was used not only as an anime opening theme but also as the main theme for PlayStation 2 and Game Boy Advance titles, so anime fans in particular may have heard it.

As the title suggests—“pursuing a cool life”—its stylish melody and sound helped elevate the story.

Thanks in part to these tie-ins, it remains one of UVERworld’s most popular tracks.

TONIGHT,TONIGHT,TONIGHTBEAT CRUSADERS

Beat Crusaders – Tonight Tonight Tonight

This is a song by the rock band BEAT CRUSADERS, formed around Toru Hidaka.

When appearing in the media, they wear monochrome self-portrait masks, so you can’t see their real faces unless you go to a live show.

The song’s structure shifts in the chorus to a bright, expansive atmosphere that feels fantastic.

Their straightforward rock sound is easy to listen to, and the all-English lyrics are simple in both phrasing and content, making them easy to memorize.

That quality makes you want to cover the song with your own band—one of their key charms, I’d say.

Song For…ROOKiEZ is PUNK’D

ROOKiEZ is PUNK’D　『Song for．．．』

Formed by high school seniors and juniors, ROOKiEZ is PUNK’D is a mix-up rock band from Chiba Prefecture that announced an indefinite hiatus in 2019.

This is their third single.

Chosen as the climactic ending theme for the “Arrancar: Downfall” arc that aired from 2011, it’s a rock ballad woven around the theme, “If you speak your wish aloud, it will surely come true.” The dramatic song structure, which moves from a spacious opening built on guitar arpeggios and strings into a full-on rock sound, pairs with the uplifting lyrics to deliver powerful courage.

The surging sound and beautiful melody in the chorus pierce the heart, making it a track you’ll want to listen to again and again.

Protect you and love youSambomaster

RF15 – SAMBOMASTER (Kimi wo Mamotte, Kimi wo Aishite)

The three-piece rock band Sambomaster, known for winning a devoted fanbase with lyrics that feel like heartfelt cries and a straightforward sound that brings them to life, released this as their 12th single.

Used as an ending theme in 2009, the song features passionate vocals and an upbeat rhythm that gives you the push to take a step forward—undeniably catchy.

The lyrics, which sing of earnest, unadorned love, connect with the anime’s story and themes, and are sure to strike a chord.

It’s a rock tune packed with Sambomaster’s appeal, delivering unembellished, powerful messages that give you the courage to move ahead.

Re:prayAimer

Aimer - Re:pray

A single by the female singer Aimer—described by the director of the Japan Acoustic Research Institute as possessing a very rare voice in which amplitude and frequency fluctuations occur simultaneously—this is her second release.

Chosen as the ending theme at the start of the Substitute Shinigami Disappearance arc that began in 2011, the song centers on the theme of a parting one must accept.

The contrast between its wistful melody and its ethereal arrangement overlaps with the lyrics’ story, amplifying the sense of poignancy.

It’s an emotional number whose distinctive vocals and beautiful melody stir the heart.

MASKAqua Timez

Aqua Timez “MASK” Music Video (Anime “BLEACH” 30th ending theme)

Released with the tagline “I want you to live unclouded—so don’t hate the rain,” this is the 14th single by the five-member mixture rock band Aqua Timez.

It served as their fourth tie-in with BLEACH and their first ending theme, and was also used as the final ending theme of the anime series.

The racing vocals riding on a brisk, driving beat create a quintessential Aqua Timez mixture sound.

The ebb and flow between relentless rap and lyrical melody makes the track thrilling, a rock tune perfectly suited to color the work’s concluding moments.

Thanks.RSP

Bleach-ending 14

This is a 2008 single by the female duo RSP, known for a sound that incorporates HIP HOP and R&B elements and lyrics that feel like spoken conversation.

As the title suggests, the song expresses feelings of gratitude, and a notable feature is that the opening section is entirely spoken.

The track captures both the shyness of trying to express appreciation to someone who’s always by your side and the sweet determination to convey thanks properly while looking back on shared memories.
