DOES 'Donten' (TV Tokyo anime 'Gintama' opening theme)

The moment that sharp guitar riff rang out, many of you were probably glued to your TVs.

This is the single released in June 2008 as the opening theme for the popular anime Gintama.

Its lyrics, which convey the will to cut through doubt and push forward even under gloomy skies, fuse with a finely honed sound to set listeners’ souls ablaze.

Put it on when you need to fire yourself up, and it’s sure to give you a powerful push from behind!

Bacchi DancerDOES2rank/position

DOES – BakuChi Dancer / THE FIRST TAKE

DOES is a rock band that’s extremely popular with male listeners.

Many people may have come to like them through the anime Gintama.

Among DOES’s songs, one I especially recommend is Bakuchi Dancer.

It’s a sharp, punchy rock track, but the vocal range is very compact at mid1D to mid2E.

Plus, the singing style is mainly a spit-it-out delivery, so it doesn’t require delicate vocals and is exceptionally easy to sing.

ShuraDOES3rank/position

DOES “Shura” (Gintama anime on TV Tokyo: Ending Theme)

Shura, which lets you fully savor the appeal of the guitar, is distinguished by riffs that seize the listener’s heart.

It opens with powerful drums, and as the ensemble joins in, the tension rapidly intensifies.

Yet the playing itself is simple, making it a great recommendation for beginners.

The sense of speed and energy that runs through the track offers a thrilling experience even when you’re playing it.

DOES’s Shura never ceases to captivate listeners from all angles.

DOES “KNOW KNOW KNOW” (Opening theme for the TV Tokyo anime Gintama°)

The golden tag team of DOES and Gintama! Released in March 2016 as their 15th single, this track was used as the opening theme for the TV anime Gintama°.

Sung over a quintessentially DOES, fast-paced rock sound, it delivers a powerful message of affirmation—“this very moment is the best”—propelling you toward the future.

That exhilarating feeling that makes you want to throw your fist in the air mirrors the way Gintoki and the others live: fighting with all their might in the present to protect what matters.

If you’re facing a new challenge or longing to break through your current situation, this song will surely give you a strong push forward.

DOES “Guren” MV (TV Tokyo anime “Naruto Shippuden” opening theme)

It’s a song by the rock band DOES.

It’s popular as an opening theme for the anime Naruto Shippuden.

The lyrics, which seem to link with the anime’s story, are exciting just to listen to.

Give it a listen when you study.

[Kagamine Rin] Overcast Sky -Full- [Arrangement Cover]

The DOES × Kagamine Rin version of “Donten,” boldly rearranged as EDM from a simple yet heavy rock number, is so rhythmic you’ll want to play it over and over! The original was released by DOES in 2008 and was used as the opening theme for the anime Gintama.

Kagamine Rin’s seamlessly blending vocals pair perfectly with the electro-infused dance music arrangement! Why not give this Vocaloid track a listen and enjoy the best of both rock and EDM at once?

DOES – DOES – 11 – Lost Item

The convenience-store song from Fukuoka-born rock band DOES is “Wasuremono” (Forgotten Item).

It’s included on their self-titled 2014 album, DOES.

The opening scene set at a convenience store at night serves as an accent for the entire track.

Its nostalgic melody, carried by a breezy sound, has a gentle, comforting feel.

It’s a piece you’ll want to listen to when you’re feeling a bit lonely or a little weary from chasing your dreams, taking a moment to breathe.

DOES – DOES – 09 – Ice Cream

It’s a groovy surf-sound number that also carries a subtly twisted garage rock spirit! Crafted by DOES, a three-piece band from Fukuoka, the track opens with breezy guitars that beckon you toward a blue ocean, then suddenly shifts into a development that feels like a psychedelic mirage—remarkably unique.

The lyrics, set on a beach and depicting scenes of summer, leave a strong impression.

The image of ice cream melting in an instant seems to symbolize youth that vanishes just as quickly.

It’s the perfect song for anyone who finds a plain, sunny summer tune a bit lacking and wants something a little more stimulating as their BGM.

DOES – OTHERSIDE OF DOES – 14 – Chocolate

A wistful rock song that likens the sweetness and bitterness of memories to chocolate.

Created by the band DOES, known for hits like “Bakuchi Dancer” and “DonTen,” it was released in 2010 as their ninth single.

It was written as the theme song for Tokyo Chocolate, a short film produced by the confectionery maker Mary’s.

Its crisp sound arrangement—anchored by an acoustic guitar timbre that lingers in the ear—is striking.

It feels like giving something up, yet somehow remains forward-looking… When something unpleasant happens, this song might help you feel, “Alright, on to the next.”

The ends of the worldDOES10rank/position

DOES “The End of the World”

This is one of the tracks from DOES, the three-piece rock band best known for “Shura” (Cloudy Sky), released in 2009 as the band’s first double A-side single.

It was used in a Pocky chocolate commercial.

A rock tune with a smooth band sound and an exhilarating sense of speed.

The lyrics, which liken the ebb and flow of waves to the push and pull of romance, give your heart a squeeze.

It seems open to many interpretations as a love song, too.

After one listen, you’re left feeling just a little brighter.
