AA=, distribution singles “FIGHT & PRIDE” and “CRY BOY” will be used as OP and ED theme songs for “Garouden: The way of the Lone Wolf”


AA= has announced the release of their digital single “FIGHT & PRIDE” on May 23rd (Thursday). Two new songs, the title song “FIGHT & PRIDE” and “CRY BOY”, will be distributed. Tsuyoshi Ueda also serves as the soundtrack for the Netflix series “Garouden: The Way of the Lone Wolf”, a fighting anime that will be released worldwide on Netflix from May 23rd, and “FIGHT & PRIDE” is the opening song. The theme song “CRY BOY” will be used as the ending theme song.

This work received an enthusiastic offer from director Atsushi Ikariya, who also collaborated with the anime “Sabibi Bisco”, and was in charge of the music for the Netflix fighting anime series “Garouden: The Way of the Lone Wolf”. As a result, a new story was written inspired by Garouden. “FIGHT & PRIDE”, which is the opening theme song for the anime, is a true distorted sound of AA=, which resonates with the theme of “Garouden” and advances with hard distortion and a heavy and violent heavy groove. It has become. The ending theme song “CRY BOY” has a sad melody and melody that contrasts with the adrenaline-fueled hot sound of “FIGHT & PRIDE” and a roar that seems to destroy the world, creating a beautiful and intense sound typical of Takeshi Ueda. It’s finished. Furthermore, the music for the anime will be produced under the name Takeshi Ueda, making this an unusual tie-up in which the same artist will be in charge of the opening and ending of the anime, and even the music.

In addition, a special limited edition CD and T-shirt (dry shirt) will be sold at the VICTOR ONLINE STORE.

The Netflix series “Garouden: The Way of the Lone Wolf” will be released worldwide on Netflix from May 23rd, just like “FIGHT & PRIDE.” Based on Baku Yumemakura’s novel Garouden, this is a completely new anime starring Juzo Fujimaki, one of the rivals of Bunshichi Niwa, the protagonist of the original work.
