L’Arc-en-Ciel「YOU GOTTA RUN」-Music Clip-

A powerful rock track brimming with a sense of speed, charging into the future together with your comrades! Released in October 2024 after L’Arc~en~Ciel launched their independent label, this song was chosen as the opening theme for the anime BEYBLADE X.

The melody, composed by tetsuya, was reportedly a more languid-style rock at first, but evolved into a high-velocity arrangement thanks to the tie-in.

It’s the perfect power song for when you’re taking on a challenge toward your goals or overcoming obstacles as a team!

Released in January 2000 as one of the tracks on a double A-side single, the song was chosen as the theme for the film “Ring 0: Birthday.” It’s the perfect number for immersing yourself in the story’s world or for nights when you want music to accompany a sentimental mood.
