Hello,world!BUMP OF CHICKEN
Here is the song that was specially written as the opening theme for the TV anime Blood Blockade Battlefront.
The four members of BUMP OF CHICKEN have known each other since kindergarten, which explains their tight-knit performances and their band management style with no designated leader.
They’re a band with extensive media exposure, not only through anime songs but also as theme songs for numerous TV dramas and commercial jingles.
Can DoGRANRODEO
This song, Can Do, is an upbeat track that served as the opening theme for the TV anime Kuroko’s Basketball.
GRANRODEO, the group that performs the song, is a musical duo consisting of KISHOW (Kishou Taniyama) and e-ZUKA (Masaaki Iizuka).
The vocalist, Kishou Taniyama, originally comes from a voice acting background and is sometimes referred to as an eccentric in the voice acting world.
Seven Deadly SinsMAN WITH A MISSION
This song, which was used as the opening theme for the TV anime The Seven Deadly Sins, is by MAN WITH A MISSION, who made their major debut in 2011.
They’re a unique band with the concept of five ultimate beings with the heads of wolves and bodies of humans, and I can’t help but wonder simple things like whether they don’t get hot during live shows.
OVER THE TOPHiroshi Kitadani
Here is the theme song from the hugely popular TV anime One Piece.
Hiroshi Kitadani, who sings this track, first performed the demo for One Piece’s original opening theme “We Are!” and was then chosen to sing the official version.
From there, he established himself as an anime song vocalist.
His powerful voice makes him a perfect fit for anime theme songs.
