Creepy Nuts “Bling-Bang-Bang-Born” × TV Anime “MASHLE: MAGIC AND MUSCLES” Collaboration Music Video #BBBB Dance

This is a track by the hip-hop duo Creepy Nuts that sparked a worldwide dance-challenge craze on social media.

It was written as the opening theme for Season 2 of the TV anime “Mashle: Magic and Muscles,” the Divine Visionary Candidate Selection Exam arc.

The way the protagonist overturns the norms of the magic world using nothing but his own muscles is elevated into lyrics that mirror R-Shitei’s own life story—it’s the kind of thing that really fires you up.

Over an inventive track crafted by DJ Matsunaga, this song repeats spell-like phrases, making it incredibly addictive.

The explosive momentum is clear from the fact that the anime’s OP video, released in January 2024, surpassed 10 million views in just two weeks.

Belt out the chorus with your friends at karaoke and you’re guaranteed an absolute blast.
