ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION “Rewrite” (M-1 Grand Prix 2024 Promotion Video Theme Song)

Starting off with a blazing performance, “Rewrite” is such a cool song.

It became a huge hit as the opening theme for the anime Fullmetal Alchemist.

It’s a number with great speed and groove.

The vocal delivery is impactful and stylish, too.

“Rewrite” is my recommendation for when you’re feeling low—give it a listen.

It’ll lift your spirits.
