FZMZ – BROKEN GAMES (Anime Music Video) / TV anime “Shangri-La Frontier” opening theme

BROKEN GAMESFZMZ

Beginning with a fast-paced, thunderous intro, the blend of aggressive sound and a melodious chorus blurs the line between the game world and reality.

It conveys the protagonist’s determination to tackle the game in a style all their own and to aim for the top, while also deftly portraying the inner void and conflicts they harbor.

It’s a work in which FZMZ’s musicality and worldview come to fruition beautifully.

Chosen as the opening theme for the TV anime “Shangri-La Frontier: Crappy Game Hunter Challenges God-Tier Game,” which has been airing since October 2023, it was also released as a single CD in November of the same year.

Perfectly synchronized with the anime’s setting, this song is sure to give a powerful push to anyone ready to embark on a new challenge.
