The 19th single by the four-piece rock band [Alexandros] was chosen as the theme song for the animated film Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway.

It’s the first release since drummer Ibu Riyad officially joined, and the arrangement—moving from a lyrical opening into a driving rock sound—feels exhilarating.

The message that the world opens up once you make up your mind could serve as a guide for those who have lost sight of their dreams or goals.

With powerful high-tone vocals that give you a push and lift a low mood, it’s an uplifting tune.

Released in March 2013, it was also a milestone for Aimer, becoming her first single to enter the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart top 10.

Released in April 2023, it was chosen as the ending theme for Season 2 of the popular anime Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury.

From the depths of the heart to the water planetMoriguchi Hiroko

The latter opening theme of the TV anime Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam.

With Hiroko Moriguchi’s soft, flowing vocals, it became a song that markedly differs from the first opening theme.

It is also Hiroko Moriguchi’s debut single.

The composer is American singer-songwriter Neil Sedaka, and the lyricist is Masao Urino.

BelieverNishikawa Takanori

A rock tune where aggressive guitar riffs and a powerhouse rhythm section explode.

Produced by Tetsuya Komuro, it’s a blazing number that clashes head‑on with Takanori Nishikawa’s powerful vocals.

It’s included as the B-side to the single “FREEDOM,” released in January 2024, credited as “Takanori Nishikawa with t.komuro.” While the title track—theme song for the film “Mobile Suit Gundam SEED FREEDOM”—has been a hot topic, the full-fledged band sound on this track, featuring star musicians like Marty Friedman, is truly awesome as well.

It’s a hard-hitting piece that Nishikawa himself said “blew me away the moment I heard the demo.” Highly recommended when you want a rush or need to get fired up in the morning!

PRIDEHIGH and MIGHTY COLOR

This is the major debut single released in January 2005 by a six-member rock band from Okinawa, chosen as the second opening theme for Mobile Suit Gundam SEED DESTINY.

It debuted at No.
