Bravery Dance / Anime “Useless Skill ‘Nut Master’” OP Theme / Yukihana Lamy × Aglio Olio e Peperoncino [Original Song]

Anison with a bright, upbeat message and a catchy, pop-infused sound.

Written and composed by the popular Vocaloid producer Kinoshita, this track was chosen as the opening theme for the TV anime “Useless Skill: Nut Master.” Its powerful rhythm and catchy melody intertwine with the distinctive back-and-forth between Yuki-hana Lamy and Aglio Olio e Peperoncino.

It reminds you of the beauty of living true to yourself!
