BAND-MAID is a hard rock band that dons maid outfits and makes waves around the world.
Their striking contrast between graceful looks and ferocious performances continues to captivate fans both in Japan and abroad.
Released in April 2025, this work was selected as the opening theme for the TV anime “Rock Is a Lady’s Accomplishment.” It’s a powerful track that straightforwardly expresses inner desire and passion, perfectly matching the story of a young lady awakening to rock.
It also drew attention for the performance scenes in the anime, where the band members themselves handled the motion capture.
When you want to break through the status quo and charge forward, give their blazing performance a listen.

With its fiery, intense sound, this song sets listeners’ hearts ablaze! “TRUE STORY” was selected as the opening theme for Season 4 of the TV anime Bungo Stray Dogs and was released on January 5, 2023.
Yū Hayashi’s powerful vocals and the driving melody leave a strong impression.

Created by the rock band Survive Said The Prophet, it was released as a single in 2019.
The lyrics, which pursue the idea of the ‘true self,’ are thought-provoking and naturally make you reflect on yourself as you listen.
The interplay between the thick, layered sound arrangement and the screamo-influenced vocals is absolutely fiery!
A Cruel Angel’s ThesisTakahashi Yoko
The opening theme to the anime everyone knows, Neon Genesis Evangelion, sung by Yoko Takahashi.
Even though the song starts quietly, it somehow gets your heart racing, and then that tension is released when the intro suddenly shifts with a bang! It’s loved not only by people who know the anime, but also by those who haven’t seen it, and it’s a karaoke favorite.
It’s the kind of song where if one person starts singing, everyone can join in chorus—something everyone listening can enjoy and get excited about.
That’s part of its charm.
You don’t just listen to it; you can actually sing along and raise your energy as you go.
KICKBACKYonezu Kenshi
Kenshi Yonezu, who draws attention for his genre-blurring musicality from electronica to folk, released his 13th single in November 2022 as the opening theme for the TV anime Chainsaw Man—a track that sonically paints protagonist Denji’s desires and inner turmoil.
Its lyrics, where a thirst for happiness collides with the emptiness of reality, resonate with the mindset of young people trying to claw their way up from rock bottom.
The fierce drum’n’bass-infused beat and dizzying key changes are an emotional roller coaster in themselves.
With dance videos spreading across social media, it also meshes perfectly with the digitally native Gen Z audience.
It’s an impulsive rock tune for anyone craving a jolt in their everyday life.
