I thought I heard this song before when the anime series Bocchi the Rock credits rolled.

Then I found out about references to Asian Kung Fu Generation.

Aha moment. 💡 I knew it! I know this song!

And a whole bunch of the band's other songs.

But mostly the anime themes.

Like this one from Full Metal Alchemist.

Some of the videos were not even in YouTube before.

They were in the old DailyMotion.

This track is Naruto's theme.

Thanks for the Asian Kung-fu Generation tribute.

I hope Bocchi the Rock gets a season 2. ✌🏻
