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.

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.
Crimson Bow and ArrowLinked Horizon
Linked Horizon might sound like a band name, but it’s actually a unit where Revo sings, composes, and produces everything by himself.
The unit originally started with the concept of linking with other works.
Many people might recognize them as “RinHori.” They’re well known for handling the sound for Attack on Titan.
That may be what made them famous.
Their brave, fierce, and powerful beats are exciting and full of anticipation.
Plan ADISH//
This is an anime tie-in track that stands out with a rock sound infused with traditional Japanese flavors.
It powerfully conveys the message that “sometimes you need to run from fate,” aligning closely with the protagonist’s inner turmoil and way of life set in the Kamakura period.
It’s an innovative song where DISH//’s dynamic band sound fuses with festival-like rhythms and the timbres of traditional Japanese instruments.
Released as a single in September 2024, it was chosen as the opening theme for the TV anime The Elusive Samurai.
All members took part in composing, and the lyrics were written by vocalist Takumi Kitamura, making it an ambitious work.
It’s a recommended track not only for fans of anime and manga, but also for music listeners interested in Japanese-style rock.
Dan Dan Kokoro HikaretekuFIELD OF VIEW
This song is characterized by its refreshing melody and lyrics that gradually intensify the feeling of being in love.
Captivated by the other person’s smile, it conveys a positive determination to break free from the darkness and the courage to embark on a new adventure.
Released in March 1996 by FIELD OF VIEW, the track features a powerful performance by the band and emotive vocals in perfect harmony, and it also drew attention as the opening theme for the anime Dragon Ball GT.
With heartwarming lyrics by Izumi Sakai and a memorable melodic line by Tetsurō Oda, this is a highly recommended song for those who want to relate to the feelings of being in love or look back on memories of their youth.

Spring Comes to UsUNISON SQUARE GARDEN
I was surprised to learn that UNISON SQUARE GARDEN sings anime songs.
But hearing that it’s the opening theme for March Comes in Like a Lion made sense.
It’s their signature medium-tempo 16-beat—upbeat rhythm with high-tone vocals, a bright, invigorating sound that makes you excited to see what kind of interesting yet bittersweet story is about to begin.
I think it’s really good—what do you all think?
BreakthroughIshikawa Kaito
Kaito Ishikawa is performing in the now-popular style where voice actors also sing.
Speaking of Kaito Ishikawa, I can’t help but think of Gargantia.
As someone from the First Gundam generation, I love works like Space Battleship Tiramisu.
A sweet face with a sweet voice, cool machines with cool characters.
I highly recommend giving it a watch at least once.
