Mobile Suit Gundam series: A selection of theme and insert songs through the ages (11–20)
ZipsT.M.Revolution
A powerful song that portrays an epic battle set in space with high-velocity electronic rock! Takanori Nishikawa’s passionate vocals brilliantly capture the protagonist’s wavering emotions and steely resolve amid the fight.
Released in February 2004, this track was used as an insert song in Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, and in the climax scenes its thunderous sound further heightened the story’s tension.
It’s a powerful anthem perfect for pivotal moments, driving you to shake off hesitation and push forward!
BEYOND THE TIME (Beyond the Möbius Universe)TM NETWORK
A signature anime song by TM NETWORK that brilliantly captures Amuro and Char’s “light and shadow” through a grand, synth-driven sound and a futuristic worldview! Released in March 1988 as the theme song for the film Mobile Suit Gundam: Char’s Counterattack, it became a hit, peaking at No.
4 on the Oricon charts.
Born from an hour-long conversation with director Yoshiyuki Tomino, the track carries a profound message that fuses cosmic expansiveness with human emotion.
From its spacey intro to its catchy chorus, it’s a song that transports listeners to the far reaches of the universe.
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!
Shining in the StormYonekura Chihiro
Chihiro Yonekura’s debut single, released on January 24, 1996.
It served as the opening theme for the OVA Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team and is a classic that enjoys extremely high popularity even within the Gundam series.
It’s a track that still stands strong today.
Meteor -Meteia-T.M.Revolution
A masterpiece included on T.M.Revolution’s sixth album “coordinate,” released on March 26, 2003.
It was used as an insert song in the TBS/MBS anime Mobile Suit Gundam SEED.
I believe it’s the best song in Mobile Suit Gundam SEED.
BEYOND THE TIME ~Beyond the Möbius Universe~LUNA SEA
You’ll be overwhelmed by the grand sense of scale where respect for the original song merges with the band’s unique aesthetic.
This work, which reconstructs TM NETWORK’s classic into a heavy rock sound, was used as the third opening theme for the TV anime Mobile Suit Gundam THE ORIGIN: Advent of the Red Comet, which aired in September 2019.
Its surprise reveal during the broadcast became a hot topic.
RYUICHI’s expansive vocals and the rich ensemble seem to resonate to the far reaches of space, sending shivers through me every time I listen.
Although it was initially digital-only, it was later included on the CD bundled with the limited first edition B of the album CROSS.
It’s a track that makes you want to look up at the night sky and listen, feeling a Möbius strip-like cycle of fate.
Highly recommended not only for Gundam fans, but also for anyone who wants to immerse themselves in a melody beloved across generations.
Picking Up the Historic Opening and Insert Songs from the Mobile Suit Gundam Series (21–30)
Love LetterGACKT
This song, based on acoustic guitar and strings, is GACKT’s heartfelt expression of gratitude to his fans.
Produced in February 2005 as the title track of the album “Love Letter” and later released as a single in March 2006, it was chosen as the ending theme for the animated film Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam III: A New Translation – Love is the Pulse of the Stars.
The gentle vocals and delicate composition blend together, while the lyrics tenderly weave feelings of love for someone precious, leaving a deep impression.
It’s the perfect song for moments when you want to reflect on your feelings for those close to you—not only lovers, but also family and friends.
