GRANRODEO Looks for Treasure In Upcoming Release!

Following their performances of “BEASTFUL,” the opening theme song for the popular martial arts anime Baki, and “Jonetsu wa Oboete iru,” the opening theme song for its story arc, Baki: The Great Raitai Tournament Saga, the two-piece rock band GRANRODEO announced that they will be performing the opening theme song for the series’ newest installation, Baki: Son of Ogre.

This will be GRANRODEO’s 32nd single. The song is entitled “Treasure Pleasure” and goes on sale on October 13, 2021. With e-ZUKA on electric guitar, a horn section, and KISHOW’s stunning vocals, it’s an impressive and playful song that fuses GRANRODEO’s signature rock and funk style, while staying true to the world view of Baki: Son of Ogre. In the anime’s first trailer, you can hear part of the song, so make sure to check it out. It’s also paired with another new song, so you can look forward to hearing that as well!

Included in the first limited edition Blu-ray is a video recording of their GRANRODEO LIVE 2021 “Rodeo Coaster” concert held on May 15 and a music clip of “Treasure Pleasure.” As a bonus, all of the special illustrations made exclusively for their new single “Treasure Pleasure” and the Baki: Son of Ogre and GRANRODEO collaboration, are also included. Don’t take your eyes off GRANRODEO as they elevate their extended 15 year anniversary to new heights.

Comments from GRANRODEO 

KISHOW: 

“Fighting is pleasure and knowledge!” We imagined something like that when writing the song—like how a man is unwavering in his resolution! 

e-ZUKA: 

We are honored to be performing the third opening theme song for the Baki series! This time around, we added a horn section to give the song a real funky feel. We hope you enjoy it!
