This is the theme song for the feature film Mobile Suit Gundam F91.

It’s one of the most popular tracks in the Gundam series, and it’s no surprise it gets the crowd going at live shows.

Although it’s quite an old work, its quality is high and it hasn’t lost any of its appeal even today.

ResolutionROMANTIC MODE

This is pop music that makes extensive use of trancy sounds, as typified by Tetsuya Komuro.

At the time, digital equipment was widely heard in pop music.

The programmed, mechanical sound creates a moderately urban atmosphere.

It was tied in with After War Gundam X.

Blooming at nightHoshimachi Suisei

A track colored by a fantastical melody and EDM beats suddenly appeared as the insert song in episode 3 of the TV anime “Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX,” captivating viewers.

Suisei Hoshimachi’s transparent, crystalline vocals beautifully capture the world of the series.

Evoking the stillness of night and the beauty of blooming flowers, this piece is perfect for a nighttime drive when you want lingering feelings to stay with you, for moments when you wish to step a little away from everyday life and drift into thought, and of course for fans of the same anime.

Raise your flagMAN WITH A MISSION

MAN WITH A MISSION 『Raise your flag』
Raise your flagMAN WITH A MISSION

The opening theme of Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans (October–March 2015).

I used to dismiss MAN WITH A MISSION—wolf-head costumes and all—as a gimmicky band.

But this song, with its rocking intro, is irresistibly cool.

Tears of the OrphansMISIA

MISIA – Orphans' Tears (Official Music Video)
Orphans' Tears MISIA

A beautiful, grand-scale song that sings of a dark, sorrow-filled world with overwhelming vocal power.

It was tied in as the ending theme for Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans (October 2015–March).

The ending, which deepens the afterglow of the story, will stick in your head after just one listen.
