Revolutionary Journey – On the WayAina the End

Aina the End / On the Road of Revolution – On The Way [Official Music Video] (TV anime “Dandadan” Season 2 Opening Theme)

It’s the opening theme of season 2 of the TV anime “Dandadan,” and the melody is catchy and really cool! The overall vocal range is D3–E5, and the B-melody in particular sits low, so watch out for that.

In everyday speech your throat tends to vibrate instead of your vocal cords, which makes your voice sound muffled, so make sure to engage your vocal cords and turn it into proper singing.

For low notes, resonating in the head makes it easier to find pitch and produce sound, so raise a hand above your head and try projecting your voice toward that hand.

As you focus on this, your facial muscles will naturally lift; keep that expression and release your voice slowly with plenty of breath.

From the chorus it moves into higher notes, so keep your facial muscles lifted, extend your hand forward, and sing out with the image of sending your voice far into the distance! Don’t forget to take a breath right before the high notes!

For those who love deep, heavy bass, “BROKEN GAMES” is also highly recommended.

The track was produced by FZMZ, which operates as a “masked avatar band.” It serves as the opening theme for the anime Shangri-La Frontier.

With a heavy-metal-like vibe, the lyrics portray the anime’s protagonist.

It’s great how the character’s traits and appeal come through so directly.

If you watch the anime and get to know the protagonist’s appearance and gear, you’ll enjoy the lyrics even more.

DJ Matsunaga’s Jersey club–style track paired with R-Shitei’s powerful flow is just unbeatable.

Be sure to enjoy it together with the anime!
