Iron CageGRANRODEO
GRANRODEO is a music unit known for their intense sound.
They wrote Iron Cage as the opening theme for season 5 of the anime Bungo Stray Dogs.
The track features an especially fierce sound with hints of heavy metal.
The lyrics depict feelings of entrapment and despair, while conveying a message of overcoming them.
It pairs naturally with the anime’s story, and it also works well as a song to cheer you on or to boost your energy.
UN-APEXTK from RIN TO SHITE SIGURE
This track fuses the piercing intensity of razor-sharp sonic edges with delicate emotional expression.
Its distinctive guitar sound and complex rhythmic structure deftly portray a psyche that grows colder even as it heats up.
Showcasing the experimental approach unique to TK’s solo project, this piece was selected as the ending theme for Solo Leveling Season 2 – Arise from the Shadow.
It’s a song I recommend when you want to confront the emotions hidden deep within your heart, or when you feel ready to push past your limits and grow.
Theater of LifeSuzuki Konomi
How about a rock tune with an exhilarating sense of speed? It was used as the opening theme for the anime Deca-Dence.
The song is performed by Konomi Suzuki, a singer who caused a stir after winning the Grand Prix at the 5th All-Japan Anisong Grand Prix final.
Released in 2020 as her 17th single, it’s packed with appeal—powerful drum phrases, razor-sharp guitar riffs, and a vocal that’s both cute and cool.
It also matches perfectly with the lyrics’ worldview, which makes you reflect on your own life.
Flying DeityAyase×R-shitei
Hiten, a digital single chosen as the opening theme for the newly remade 2023 TV anime Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Swordsman Romantic Story.
Created by R-Shitei—known from Creepy Nuts and Umeda Cipher—and Ayase, active as a Vocaloid producer and a member of YOASOBI, the track’s breakneck call-and-response creates a thrilling ensemble that really amps you up.
The lyrics, which link to the anime’s story, evoke a universal theme: even in doubt, you can only keep moving forward.
It’s a track that lingers with the striking contrast between aggressive rap and lyrical melody.
Flying DeityAyase × R-Shitei
The opening theme song for the anime Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Swordsman Romantic Story, born from a collaboration between R-Shitei and Ayase of YOASOBI.
Its message—living in the present so that you can even come to love the wounds you’ve suffered—powerfully resonates, portraying a protagonist who keeps fighting head-on despite regret, setbacks, and countless obstacles.
No matter how many times you fall, stand up and take flight toward greater heights.
With that strong will embedded in it, be sure to listen, sing along, and charge up to your next step!
fatalGEMN
A passionate track by GEMN that fully captures a tapestry of overlapping anxiety and anticipation, where restlessness intersects—painted with a driving, exhilarating melody.
It vividly frames the omen called “fate” lurking in everyday life and the shifting emotions of people swayed by it.
The distinct personalities of Kento Nakajima and Tatsuya Kitani blend beautifully, leaving a strong, heartbeat-like rhythm and a striking melody that lingers in the ear.
Released in July 2024 and chosen as the opening theme for Season 2 of the TV anime “Oshi no Ko,” the song sparked a major response, surpassing 100 million cumulative streams by December.
When you find yourself at a crossroads in life, feeling rushed or uncertain, listening to this song will strangely give you a push on the back—and the courage to take that first step.

I got it!Mia REGINA
It’s a rock tune that puts ska sounds front and center.
It’s a song by the three-member girls’ vocal group Mia REGINA, released in 2020 as their eighth single.
The track was chosen as the opening theme for the anime Appare-Ranman!, which is set around early 20th-century car racing.
The sense of speed is fantastic—it makes you want to move your body and get into the groove.
The gritty, almost growling vocal style from the three members is really cool, too! I bet there are women out there who found themselves aspiring to their vocals.
