Anime 'ERASED' (Boku dake ga Inai Machi) 2nd PV | Broadcasting from 2016/1/7

Re:Re: was chosen as the opening theme for the anime ERASED, whose unpredictable story developments are deeply moving.

The song, by the rock band ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION, was originally included on their 2004 album Sol-fa and was re-recorded for the tie-in with the series.

Its intro, marked by the bright ring of a nimble guitar, leaves a strong impression, and the track is also known for its relatively long running time.

The lyrics, which convey feelings for someone you can no longer meet, evoke the chill of winter.

Give a listen to its driving rock sound that wraps around loneliness and solitude.
