UN-APEXTK from RIN TO SHITE SIGURE
This track has been selected as the ending theme for the anime Solo Leveling Season 2.
The song is characterized by a tone that conveys heated coldness, showcasing a distinctive musicality that syncs seamlessly with the anime’s worldview.
Scheduled for digital release on January 5, 2025, the piece reflects TK’s delicate yet passionate approach and has a compelling power that draws listeners in.
The lyrics portray complex emotions and inner conflict, and the emotional vocals leave a strong impression.
It’s a recommended listen not only for anime fans but also for those seeking inventive music.
Don’t Wanna LieB’z
A B’z song that passionately proclaims the strong resolve to never lie to oneself at life’s pivotal moments.
Released in June 2011 as their 49th single, it was used as the opening theme for the anime Detective Conan and as the theme song for the film Detective Conan: Quarter of Silence.
Koshi Inaba’s heartfelt lyrics and Tak Matsumoto’s dramatic melody—crafted to resonate on both television and in the theater—perfectly align with the protagonist’s pursuit of truth.
The track is also included on the album C’mon and the best-of compilation B’z The Best XXV 1999–2012.
When you’re wavering before a major decision and want to stay true to your convictions, this song will give you a powerful push forward.

Sorrowful WarriorInoue Daisuke
Daisuke Inoue, a musician who also thrived as the lead vocalist of Jackie Yoshikawa and The Blue Comets, sadly passed away in 2000.
“Ai Senshi,” chosen as the theme song for the animated film Mobile Suit Gundam II: Soldiers of Sorrow, is memorable for its opening, which begins with a soulful vocal over a sprightly piano.
For those familiar with the film, just hearing it is enough to make your heart swell.
While its melody is challenging to sing at karaoke, it’s an undeniable upper tune that’s sure to hype up the crowd if you can pull it off.
Burning HeroOkita Hiroyuki
A towering landmark of anime songs that sings of dreams and passion over samba rhythms and a catchy melody! This masterpiece briskly and humorously portrays the presence, skill, and influence of an ace player.
Hiroyuki Okita’s refreshing vocals brilliantly capture the allure of soccer and the throbbing energy of youth.
Released in 1983 as the opening theme for the TV Tokyo anime Captain Tsubasa, it became a classic that helped spark the soccer boom.
In 2018, it was remade by Ryuhei Maruyama of Kanjani Eight.
It’s a song that powerfully pushes the backs of everyone striving toward their dreams—not just soccer fans—and one we highly recommend you listen to.
HOWLINGabingdon boys school
In fact, this band was planned by T.M.Revolution’s Takanori Nishikawa, who is also the lead vocalist.
All the members are active professional musicians, and their performance skills are outstanding.
Since the band was formed to play anime and game music, it has a hard rock feel, unlike T.M.Revolution.
I’ve always felt that Nishikawa’s voice naturally suits anime songs—what do you all think?
Mazinger ZMizuki Ichirō
A giant in the voice acting world, affectionately called “Aniki” by young voice actors and anime fans.
I’m in my 50s, but he was already active before I was born—a true heavyweight of the industry.
Even if you don’t know Mazinger Z, you probably recognize “Pilder On!” or the elongated “Zeeeeeeeeet!!!!,” or that oddly wide, red scarf.
Mizuki’s singing voice—carrying anime songs through the Showa, Heisei, and Reiwa eras—is a must-hear.
FREEDOMNishikawa Takahiro ( with t.komuro)
Takanori Nishikawa, who continues to thrive at the forefront of the music industry with his overwhelming vocal prowess.
This song was released in January 2024 as the theme for the film Mobile Suit Gundam SEED FREEDOM.
A collaboration with Tetsuya Komuro, it carries a powerful message centered on “freedom” amid a fierce battlefield.
The strong lyrics and Nishikawa’s commanding vocals vividly capture the worldview of a story where hope and despair intersect.
It’s a track that will inspire every listener, captivating not only Gundam fans but music fans as well—perfect for when you want to get pumped up.
