With its melodious, fast-paced dance beat, the song is a beautifully crafted, fully realized piece that could have been a hit even without being an anime opening theme.

This is the opening theme for the first half of the MBS/TBS anime Mobile Suit Gundam 00 (Second Season).

It’s UVERworld’s 12th single, released on November 19, 2008.

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.

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.

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.
