MISIA – Orphans' Tears (Official Music Video)

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.

Released in November 2022, YOASOBI’s second single is a song chosen as the opening theme for the anime Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury.

With its driving sound and crystal-clear vocals that blow away any lingering gloom, it’s a light and refreshing track.

The presence of someone who genuinely celebrates choosing one’s own dream and taking a new step forward is surely reassuring for young people coming of age.

Why not give this piece as a gift, infused with the message, “I’m always cheering you on”?

It is the ending theme of the MBS/TBS network anime Mobile Suit Gundam 00.

Released in 2007, it is THE BACK HORN’s 16th single.

A dark, intense rock song with a powerful impact, it becomes more captivating the more you listen to it.

Stand Up to the Victory

The opening theme of the TV anime Mobile Suit Victory Gundam.

It’s a cool rock number that stirs courage and power, resulting in a positive song overflowing with hope for tomorrow.

Tomohisa Kawazoe is the bassist of the rock band LINDBERG, known for songs like “Ima Sugu Kiss Me.”

MAN WITH A MISSION 『Raise your flag』

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's not an anime — oh ancient Earthlings who have forgotten your dreams —Masato Arai35rank/position

Masato Arai / It’s Not Anime ~ You Old Earthlings Who Forgot Your Dreams @ Kashiwa Studio WUU

This is a signature masterpiece representing the work, which became the theme song for the anime Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ.

Since the series itself is a bit old, the song may also seem dated, but despite the less-than-ideal sound quality, the composition is highly polished and very satisfying to listen to.
