Known affectionately as “Buru-en,” BLUE ENCOUNT is a four-piece rock band that excites audiences with passionate messages and high-energy songs.

This is their fourth single, which was selected as the opening theme for the TV anime Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans.

It’s a track whose exhilarating sense of speed lifts your spirits.
