This is the theme song for the feature film Mobile Suit Gundam F91.

It’s one of the most popular tracks in the Gundam series, and it’s no surprise it gets the crowd going at live shows.

Although it’s quite an old work, its quality is high and it hasn’t lost any of its appeal even today.

MAN WITH A MISSION 『Raise your flag』
Raise your flagMAN WITH A MISSION

The opening theme of Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans (October–March 2015).

I used to dismiss MAN WITH A MISSION—wolf-head costumes and all—as a gimmicky band.

But this song, with its rocking intro, is irresistibly cool.

It’s also well-loved as a song that’s particularly popular among men.

For many listeners, the story races through their minds and gets them hyped.

With its powerful, dynamic sound, the track is captivating, and I think many people feel both the grandeur and the gritty realism of the Gundam world when they listen to it.

It was tied in as the opening theme for the TV anime Gundam Build Fighters.

The sparkling, beautiful melody perfectly fits a school-themed anime.

This series focuses on plastic model kits.

Someday, reach the skyMegumi Shiina

The opening theme of the Gundam series OVA “Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket.” Megumi Shiina handled the lyrics, composition, and vocals.

Her sultry vocals are a key element that enhances the overall quality of the work.

This is the opening theme for the first half of the MBS/TBS anime Mobile Suit Gundam 00 (Second Season).

It’s UVERworld’s 12th single, released on November 19, 2008.

It’s a poignant, easy-to-listen-to rock song that I recommend.

A beautiful, grand-scale song that sings of a dark, sorrow-filled world with overwhelming vocal power.

It was tied in as the ending theme for Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans (October 2015–March).

The ending, which deepens the afterglow of the story, will stick in your head after just one listen.
