FLYING IN THE SKY

The Mobile Suit Gundam franchise boasts numerous popular titles, but this one is especially fiery! It’s the opening theme of Mobile Fighter G Gundam, which drew attention for its depiction of battles between mobile suits and unarmed humans.

It was the debut single of singer-songwriter Hitofumi Ushima from Kochi Prefecture, released in 1994.

Many people probably remember it as the work that changed the image of the Gundam series, which until then had been known in part for its “realistic war” tone.
