Popular three-member pop-rock band Ikimonogakari announced that their upcoming track “BAKU” will be used for the opening theme song for the long running ninja anime BORUTO- NARUTO NEXT GENERATION. This isn’t the group’s foray with the series, providing the tracks “Bluebird” and “Hotaru no Hikari” back in 2008 and 2009 for BORUTO’s predecessor, NARUTO. "BAKU" will be a high energy tune with an impressive brass sound, written and composed by member Yoshiki Mizuno. Ryo Eguchi, who also worked on "Bluebird" and "Hotaru no Hikari,” is in charge of the arrangement. This song will be released on January 18, 2021 across all digital music streaming platforms. In addition, it has been decided that a physical edition of the single will be released on February 24, 2021. In addition to "BAKU,” "Bluebird" and "Hotaru no Hikari" will also be included in the single.
