Your Favorite Anime/Game Openings and Closings

Princess Principal Opening The Other Side of the Wall By Void Chords feat.MARU

[Skull]

So I've been watching the anime "Beck: Mongolian Chop Squad" recently and I just can't get enough of that OP.

[Laserman]

I wonder what happened to Access?

[Arashi_Leonhart]

Asakura's busy producing TM Revolution music

[Laserman]

Oh, so that's what happened. Good for him.

[Laserman]

Just like the top comment on the video says, this is what got me hooked to anime songs when I was younger. And that's why I linked the version I watched as a kid.
The name of the song is Haruka Kanata by Asian Kung-Fu Generation. I love this song so much.

This song is called Rolling Star by YUI. It's my favorite Bleach opening and of my favorite openings, I first heard it late one night before I even knew what Bleach was on TV and I've loved it ever since. I love how rocking it is, the lyrics, how the opening shows off the threat of the Arrancar, the inner struggle between Ichigo and his inner hollow, Karakura Town being destroyed to create the Oken, that one moment when Aizen appears since his escape from Soul Society, and the final moment when Ichigo activates his Bankai and shoots a Getsuga Tensho into the sky, I just love it all. She was so good, but she had a child and retired, then made another band that I haven't much about. I just wish that she made still music as a soloist. So I decided to also post a live version of the song with Eng/Jp Lyrics too. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.

English and Japanese Lyrics:

Mou gaman bakka shiterannai yo
Iitai koto wa iwanakucha
Kaerimichi yuugure no basutei
Ochikonda senaka ni Bye Bye Bye


My patience is running out
I want to say what I wanna say
Coming home from the bus stop at twilight
Saying bye bye bye to sad backs of others


Kimi no Fighting Pose misenakya oh oh


You gotta show you Fighting Pose oh oh


Yume ni made mita you na sekai wa
Arasoi mo naku heiwa na nichijou
Demo genjitsu wa hibi torabutte
Tama ni kuyandari shiteru
Sonna Rolling Days


A world like I have seen in my dreams
Without conflict, just daily peace
But in reality, I tend to worry about
Troubles and the daily grind
Those Rolling Days


Koronjattatte iin ja nai no
Son toki wa waratte ageru
Norikonda basu no oku kara
Chiisaku hohoemi ga mieta


Even though you keep on falling,
You laugh and get up every time
As I board the vacant back of the bus
You flash me a small smile


Kimi wo tayori ni shiteru yo


I must place my trust in you


Yume ni made mita you na Sweet Love
Koibitotachi wa kakure ga wo sagasu no
Demo genjitsu wa aenai hi ga
Tsuzukinagara mo shinjiteru no Lonely Days


Sweet love like I have seen in my dream
Lovers searching for hidden refuge
But in reality, on the days we cannot meet,
Continue on but I believe in Lonely Days


Oh yeah, yeah...
Tsumazuitatte Way to go
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Dorodoroke Rolling Star


Oh yeah, yeah...
Even if you stumble, Way to go
Yeah, yay!
A muddled Rolling Star


Naru beku egao de itai keredo
Mamori nuku tame ni wa shikata nai deshou


It pains me so to see your smiling face, but
Is there no way to protect you till the end?


Kitto uso nante sou
Imi wo motanai no
All my loving...
Sou ja nakya yatterannai


There is no meaning to this lie, none at all
All my loving,
Without it, I can't go on


Yume ni made mita you na sekai wa
Arasoi mo naku heiwa na nichijou
Demo genjitsu wa hibi to rabu de
Tama ni kuyandari shiteru
Sonna Rolling Days


A world like I have seen in my dreams
Without conflict, just daily peace
But in reality, I tend to worry about
Troubles and the daily grind
Those Rolling Days


Oh yeah, yeah...
Sou wakatterutte
Oh yeah, yeah...
Tsumazuitatte Way to go
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Doro doro ke Rolling Star




Oh yeah, yeah...
Even if you understand it all
Oh yeah, yeah...
Even if you stumble, way to go,
Yeah yay
A muddled rolling star

RAGE OF DUST by SPYAIR

English Lyrics

Spoiler:

Growing desperate, to keep from getting swallowed
By the deep darkness of night,
We seem just like
A shining, magnitude-six star.

So to keep from being broken
By days stuck on repeat...

You'll never become an apathetic fool
Without a goal in mind.
You're fine just the way you are!
Living life on the edge,
You have something you're willing to die for,
So shove it in the face of this era!

It doesn't matter either way;
It's not like worrying about it will give you a fresh start in life.
Disliking group mentality, your sense of self seems about to fade away,

So to keep from giving in
To a world filled with absurdity...

You can't let things end while you're still powerless,
Having nothing to lose -
That's why you have to go!
But if you'll eventually end up as dust,
You may as well live like stardust,
Bearing someone else's dream!

You'll never become an apathetic fool
Without a goal in mind.
You're fine just the way you are!
Living life on the edge,
You have something you're willing to die for,
So shove it in the face of this era!

You can't let things end while you're still powerless -
That's why you have to go!
But if you'll eventually end up as dust,
You may as well live like stardust,
Bearing someone else's dream!

I love this song so much, especially after reading those powerful lyrics.

^ Speaking of Gundam, one of the OPs I've been obsessed with recently is Victory's.



Probably tied with Madoka Magica for the most upbeat OP to a depressing show ever.

Invoke by T.M. Revolution

[Akyuu]

been obsessed with this one lately just for the broom flying sequence at the hype part

[Laserman]

Fighter by KANA-BOON
Friendship with Silhouette ended, now Fighter is my best friend.
I love this song, and I hope that Tekkadan can make the sort of world that's described in the song a reality, or at least make things better for themselves like they want too.

This was the best I could do, the full version on Youtube isn't that good and the opening itself isn't on there either.
