Naruto Shippuden Openings Ranked

Aight y'all, I said I would do this months ago, so here we are.

Just like my last ranking post, I have no real reasons as to why I like this OP over that one. They're just poor reasons and explanations that I'll probably change my mind about after posting.

But yeah, this is gonna be a long post, so let's get to it.

Also just a disclaimer- I had a very difficult time ranking the openings, especially at the bottom. Just note that I like and enjoy every OP except one.

Actual ranking is below the cut because yay I can use my laptop to make posts now :D

Number 20 - Tsuki no Ookisa - OP 14

I always thought this was called “Size of the Moon” or something like that

This OP

Oh boy

I used to just hate this one with a passion

And I still do!

Okay not literally, but it’s still my least favorite

I see what they were going for

Red, black and white vibes

It’s….okay?

And the song

Yeeesh

It just doesn’t make me feel anything but the huge urge to skip it

I’m so sorry if you really like this OP but goodness I really don’t like it

It’s one of the only ones I don’t like vs don’t mind

I will say

The end though?

Where its showing the freeze frames of everyone

That looks great

Itachi at the beginning looks great

It definitely has its moments, but just not enough to make me really enjoy it

Number 19 - Hotaru no Hikari - OP 5

Or as I like to call it

SHA LA LA-

I already know y'all but to come for me on this one I'm sorry

This opening is,,,okay…

Now that I’ve seen all of them, I kinda have this bias of “I know what the next opening is and that’s a whole BANGER” so I kinda sleep on this one

But its not bad

I always love the Naruto and Sasuke parallel shots

Just not up there for me

Number 18 - Guren - OP 15

Another OP I lowkey just disregard after watching all of them because we all know what follows this one

But it’s not bad at all

I love the split screens

And then it all comes together

Kakashi and Obito’s split screen looks amazing

Actually, all of their shots look amazing

The song goes well with the visuals

I love the colors they used

Seeing Madara is always a treat

The shot of the hokage is good

But uhhh

Yeah that’s about all I got

Number 17 - Newsong - OP 10

Don't kill me plez

A lot of people don’t like this OP

I can see where they’re coming from

But it's goofy and wacky, and honestly not so bad

It ain’t nowhere near top tier, but I can enjoy it more times than not

The part where they’re running and do a lil jump

That took me out when I first saw it

The animation is supposed to accompany the wacky feel, and I feel that the animators had a lot of fun with this one

Overall, I don’t dislike this OP like most

I actually like it

But admittedly, it’s not strong

It’s very cute tho

It makes me smile

That team jutsu though

What the hell

I don’t know how I feel bout that

Also B falling

That was a nice addition

Also also Sasuke refused to be a part of this wacky ass OP which I love

Number 16 - Niwaka Ame ni mo Makezu - OP 13

This OP is fine

It doesn’t really do anything for me until the 5 Kage are shown fighting Madara

Which looks great by the way

But also gives me storm 3 war flashbacks

It’s pretty overall

Like all the parts with Naruto look really good

The individual shots of the 5 Kage and Sasuke are meh

I don’t really care for that part

Overall, ehhh

Number 15 - Moshimo - OP 12

I’m not gonna lie

I totally forgot about this OP

It’s fine

Nothing really excites me

I do like 2 parts though

Where Ay tries to punch Minato and he gets out of the way to fist bump baby B

And when Naruto is in the middle and it zooms out to show Kushina and Minato behind him

The song is good

Overall, okay opening

I was torn over whether to put this one above or below OP 13, but I decided above because I like the ending part more

Number 14 - Toumei Datta Sekai - OP 7

Another OP I really slept on

A lot of people really adore this one but I just don't see it??

It takes a second to kick off

It really only gets started for real when we see Pain and the trio’s flashbacks

After that, it’s pretty good

The music picks up, the visuals start getting quite interesting

And that Pain v Naruto moment where they just stare at each other and it shows both faces

Looks amazing

And of course, Kakashi brings some spice into the mix

It’s always a great time when we can see him in action

Makes me wish we got the girls v Konan though

But yeah, the shot with Naruto falling in

From then on, it's incredible

Number 13 - LINE - OP 18

From here on, these OPs are just the ones I love

This OP is a major breather

The song is very slow and nice

Visually, I love the choice in focusing on one thing at a time

Once character at a time

It looks very nice

The little destiny shard flying around

And I love how there’s variants in who interacts with the shard at the very end

My favorite is Itachi because he gives the shard to us and I’m not crying you are

It’s really pretty too

Not much to say here

I just really like it

It’s not top tier, but it’s a great OP nonetheless

Number 12 - Closer - OP 4

THAT SHOT AT THE BEGINNING

Where everyone is looking back

I absolutely love it

I absolutely must know if the budget was actually blown on Hidan spinning his scythe

The shot looks great though

Another vibe kinda opening

The ending is so cute with Naruto jumping in the air

they did that to cover the gaping hole in our hearts

ASUMA WHY

Also I completely forgot there was a second version until I saw it while pulling up the link

First version is better

Number 11 - Lovers - OP 9

That beginning part with the camera cutting and focusing on the three

Yeah that right there is great

And the explosion behind Killer B

Love that shit

They really went all out for the aesthetic kinda look

And it really pays off because the OP looks very very good

The song is pretty good too

But I probably wouldn’t listen to it outside of what’s in the OP

Every shot with Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura on the divide is really good

Number 10 - Blood Circulator - OP 19

Ah the top 10

Another song that is hype asf

I honestly prefer the third version with Naruto and Sasuke

But even still, this OP is pretty great

It’s a lot better visually in the second version because there’s not a lot of lingering shots

I love the shots of Minato, Kushina, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, Itachi and Iruka

But I also love that the whole first version is summed up in no time in the second and we move onto better shots

But the third version is the best visually

With the fights and flashbacks

And the ending with Sasuke staring and Naruto crying and then they fight

That rasengan is great

But even still, all versions look pretty good

I really don’t have that much to say about this one

I enjoy it quite a lot

Number 9 - Hero’s Come Back!! - OP 1

Everybody and they mama be dancing to this I swear

It’s a bop and a half

Honestly what a great way to start the series

I’m bopping every time it comes on

And that shot of Gaara holding out his hand before he don’t feel so good

My heart

I mean, what else can I say about this one

It’s just great

3..2..1 MAKE SOME NOISE

Number 8 - Totsugeki Rock - OP 11

First things first

THE SONG????

IT’S A WHOLE BOP

EVERY TIME I HEAR IT

I GET SO HYPE

Naruto’s face at the beginning caught me off guard the first time I saw it

Visually, this OP isn’t bad at all

I actually really enjoy this OP a lot

It makes me dance and headbang lmao

I would say the song carries this one, but nah

The visuals really go well with the song

I really don’t have much to say about this one

It really is just so fun and hype

And I really love it

Number 7 - Kaze - OP 17

This OP is very pretty

It’s another one I slept on

It’s animated so well

All of the freeze frames we see are stunning

And it’s animated very well

Also long Kakashi segments always get extra points from me

And this one is gorgeous so even more points

I love the kinda traditional style they were aiming for with the textures

The cuts to the hand signs are good too

Also in sync with the music which y’all know I love

The aesthetics in general are just so lovely

NIGHT GUY YESSSS

HE LOOK AMAZING IN THIS STYLE

This OP has some of the best visuals in all of the OPs

I can’t even express how beautiful it looks

And seeing Minato and Rin slowly fade by as Obito falls and Kaguya is revealed

So good

The song goes well with the visuals too

The song in general slaps

Overall, very good

Number 6 - Distance - OP 2

YOU ARE MY FRIEND

Okay SUE ME, I’M A BITCH FOR DISTANCE OKAY

I just love this mcfuckin opening so much

It caught my attention when I first started watching Shippuden

And it’s very pleasing to look at

Also that “Thank you my friend”

Hits me every time

And overall it’s a vibe kinda opening

The walking scenes are the best

Not a lot going on on the eyes, but it still looks really good

Honestly, it’s probably my favorite OP, but it’s not the best OP

And I’m a sucker for the emotions

And this OP brings it hard

It’s definitely ranked higher than most would put it, but I can only put it so low

I love this OP so much

Number 5 - Karano Kokoro - OP 20

Holy fuck

This OP

Damn near brings me to tears every time

This OP was,,,,well,,the end

This was the conclusion of the story

And my goodness y’all

It still hits me in the feels

The visuals with this one carry it on home

It hits hard seeing everyone growing up

Let’s talk about the visuals shall we

Starting right from the beginning

Shikamaru just sitting as the music comes in

By the way, the music fits so well with everything

But yeah, seeing him just look up with this soft music just warming your heart

And then it cuts to the shogi board so we know exactly what he’s thinking about

Then to Sasuke

Sasuke

With everything that’s happened with him, just seeing him be able to just breathe

It’s everything y’all

And then we get to see Naruto’s stone face up there with the rest of the hokage and then to this lovely vibe

Naruto and Sasuke doing the hand sign that saved the world

"Tell me the story of your life"

That shit right there

They knew what they were doing when they chose this song y'all

InoShikaCho eating some barbeque

Kiba being loved to death by Akamaru and Hinata smiling

Do y’all see why this just makes me so happy yet?

Free Kakashi points

The shot of Naruto as hokage

That part got me good when I first saw it

And even a little now

Lee, TenTen, and Temari showing that they’ve still got it

The zoom in on InoShikaCho to Ino saving Sai

THE WHOLE EVOLUTION OF NARUTO AND SASUKE

THE HIGH FIVE

THE P I C T U R E

HOW ARE Y’ALL NOT CRYING

The story has finally come full circle

And there's finally peace

It’s just overwhelming happiness

I really love this OP so much

Number 4 - Blue Bird - OP 3

HABATAITARA MODORANAI TO ITTE

Blue Bird slaps

Visually, it’s absolutely incredible

Like that one part

Y’all know that part I’m talking about

Where Sasuke and Naruto do that parallel switch

*chefs kiss*

It’s just so good

AND THAT’S ONLY ONE PART

THE WHOLE THING IS JUST SO PERFECT

AND IT REALLY GOES SO WELL WITH THE SONG

Y’all better know by now how much I love the visuals synced with the music

And this song delivers on that

I know I have so much to say about this one, but I’m not gonna remember to say it until after I post

I prefer the second version (even though it’s just the same animation from Closer)

MEZASHITA NO WA

AOI AOI ANO SORA

Number 3 - Diver - OP 8

Let me get this out of the way

I LOVE Diver

It’s another OP that just always got my attention from the get go

They really calmed down with the visuals on this one

Instead opting to have the very pleasing gentle visuals that match so well with the song

And then he gets blasted out of the water and it gets SO GOOD UGH

All the hidden gems you don’t recognize until you rewatch it after seeing everything come together

I love that

And then Sasuke coming in to get all up in Naruto’s personal space just to fuckin chidori the shit out of him

It’s quite sad

But then his friends just lift him up

My heart

Then he wastes no time just rushing in to save Sasuke in the same 30 seconds as when Sasuke attacked him

It really shows his character

But also it was a whole direct reference to how Sasuke was looking over him back when he first left in the rain

That’s the subtle little hidden gems I love to see

Also the music just slaps so hard???

Like hello??

Who told y’all to make something so good????

And did I mention that I just love the visuals??

Number 2 - Sign - OP 6

EVERYBODY SHUT UP THIS IS MY SHIT

I REALIZE THE SCREAMING PAIN

HEARING LOUD IN MY BRAIN

BUT I’M GOING STRAIGHT AHEAD WITH THE SCAR

*drums going ham and guitar absolute shredding*

CAN YOU HEAR ME

SO AM IIIIIIIIIII

Okay now that that’s out of the way,,

THIS SONG FUCKING GOES HARD Y’ALL

IT’S SO HYPE

I am ashamed to admit that I used to sleep on this OP

Wait….

Both Sign and Silhouette have people turning to look at the camera-

And they’re both so good…

Dare I say…

Is this a….SIGN

I’ll leave now..

The opening part with Jiraiya and Naruto and then Sasuke and Itachi

My heart y’all please

AND THEN THE CHORUS

AND THE VISUALS

Y’ALLLL

ALL THE SHIT WAS GOING DOWN IN THIS ARC

AND THE VISUALS STILL GET ME HYPED TO THIS DAY

EVERY MOMENT IS JUST GREAT

There really isn’t a single second where I wanna look away

I can’t gush about this OP enough y’all

It’s so damn good

Also y’all know I gotta mention the hair whip

I’ve never felt pain like I did for Jiraiya and Itachi

It still hurts

But the OP

It’s just amazing

It still gives me goosebumps

UGH OKAY OKAY I’M DONE GUSHING

OR ELSE I’LL GO ON FOREVER

OKAY ONE MORE THING

But as I’m rewatching all of the OPs for this, I just fell all the way in love with the show again because of this OP

Number 1 - Silhouette - OP 16

Speaking of silhouette

We all been knew

From the get go, it’s just a blast

The song and visuals are a match made in heaven

Oh, and don’t think I won’t be gushing about them individually

Firstly

The song

KANA-BOON need to chill bruh

This song is SO GOOD

A BANGER

A BOP

WHATEVER YOU WANNA CALL IT

THEY WENT TOO HARD ON THIS SONG

I DON’T UNDERSTAND

AND THE LOOK OF THE OP???

STARTING WITH EVERYONE TURNING TO THE CAMERA ONLY FOR OBITO TO SHATTER IT WITH HIS LOOK

TO THE WHOLE SERIES RECAP UP TO THAT MOMENT

IT’S AMAZING

I CAN’T EVEN PUT IT INTO WORDS Y’ALL

The colors pop

It’s so pleasing to the eye

All of the transitions and smooth animations

Like Obito and Madara aging up (and down)

The quick flash of baby Kakashi and baby Obito before we even see Madara’s aging transitions

Y’all know I love the camera focus/glitch effect and it’s used a lot here

Naruto’s aging up while running

The switch between the static look to the smooth look

And the pencil drawn kinda look

They really went so hard on this OP

MADARA’S BREAKDANCE MOVES AND FLIPS?!?!??!

Everyone getting the cloak

That shot of Rin spinning in time with the music

ALL OF THE FAST CUTS OF WHAT’S TO COME AS THE GUITAR FINISHES UP THE SONG

Everything is always synced perfectly with the music and it really just makes it so much better

Especially because the song is so fast paced

To match up the visuals with individual words and not just full measures or half measures

Like just one example

Obito walking and him aging up

All synced with the music

Y’all

I can go on about this opening FOREVER

It’s a true masterpiece

Right, well that's my ranking. Took many hours but I'm pretty happy with it for now.

My ranking will be completely new by tomorrow morning

But yeah please hit me up if you disagree/agree with the ranking. I love discussing these kinds of things with people!

This is starting to sound like a youtube outro

Also unfortunately no gifs to make the post pretty this time ;-; I'm having technical difficulties.

another rec list no one asked for

I read more good stuff, so I’m doing this again. Here’s my first rec list if you’re interested. I’m going in order from most lighthearted to most likely to have you writhing in pain, so here goes.

Cool Doji Danshi - ongoing

Or, Play It Cool, Guys

This one is not a romance, just a comedy, but it is still cute as hell.

Four guys with very different personalities have one thing in common. They're all total space cases. You know when you do something embarrassing like realizing you’re walking the wrong way and have to do an awkward 180 on the sidewalk? I try to unlock my house with my car remote on a fairly regular basis. Well that’s these guys’ entire lives. They all handle their clumsiness in different ways, and as they start to encounter each other by chance, they learn from each other’s actions, and it’s just fucking delightful.

Zettai BL ni Naru Sekai Vs Zettai BL ni Naritakunai Otoko - ongoing

Or, A World Where Everything Definitely Becomes BL vs. The Man Who Definitely Doesn't Want To Be In A BL

This is not a BL (yet?), but it’s definitely for people who’ve read BL. A plain-looking man knows he lives in a BL universe, but believes himself to be a background character. Until his plain-looking younger brother gets a confession from his best friend, and our main character learns that nobody is safe. He spends his days avoiding BL tropes so he doesn’t get caught up in a BL romance.

If you like parody and meta humor, you should check this one out.

Karasugaoka Don’t Be Shy!! - complete

Izuhara Sou and Shinba Tetsuji are the leaders of two rival crime prevention groups (good guy gangs!). Izuhara admires Shinba, who came to his rescue once when he was a kid and inspired him to help others. However, anytime he comes face to face with Shinba, Izuhara gets nervous and acts like an asshole.

This is a short one, so I can’t say much more about it, but it’s hella cute and you should go check it out.

Three Men, One Chinchilla - ongoing

It’s complete in Korean (54 chapters), but only 13 chapters have been translated so far. I actually bought the raws. I paid actual money to read a comic in a language I don’t know. It was too weird for me to even guess what was going on, but it was worth it just for the facial expressions.

Ham Un comes home to find a chinchilla in front of his door, and it gets weirder from there. After finding the chinchilla, he meets the adorable Seung and the sketchy Namhae, and hilarity ensues. I don't want to spoil the experience of reading the first few chapters so I'm not gonna say anymore, but it does have supernatural elements.

Seung calls Un “Onion”, so their ship name is Seunion. No one else is talking about this comic here, so I get to make that call. This webcomic has everything you could want in a BL. Cute nicknames. Comedy. A chinchilla.

But.

It hasn’t updated in over a month. *update - This manhwa has been picked up by another group (and I’m in the group, not that that makes a difference)

March Third - ongoing

I think this one is complete in Chinese, like 150+ chapters, but it’s only translated up to chapter 97, and hasn’t updated in a while. I still have hope that another translator will pick it up.*

A historical comedy that follows military officer Mr. Buddha as he tries to woo the stage actor Mr. Red.

This is one of the funniest comics I’ve read, for serious. Someone suggested this one when I asked for recs similar to 19 Days, and this one is it. Don’t ask me how a historical comic set during a war is like 19 Days, it just is.

*Update: It’s been picked up! It’s translated up to 107.

A Strange Joke - *complete

Or, Just Kidding. I started reading under the title A Strange Joke, but I’m now reading the official English translation, and they call it Just Kidding.

Min is an unremarkable college student who is firmly in the closet. Jun is a heartthrob who, for some reason, has taken an interest in Min. Sehun is Jun’s friend who is also on all of the cover art. I’m sure he plays a major role later on. It’s only translated up to chapter 18 right now. But it’s so funny, I had to give it a mention. Min and his friends are a bunch of drunken dumbass college students in the best way, and Min is the dumbest of them all.

The official translation is on Pocket Comics, and you get a bunch of free points just for creating an account and daily gifts for logging on.

Fools - complete

After overhearing a fight that new student Jeongwoo had with his boyfriend, college senior Eungi finds himself becoming increasingly confused about his feelings toward Jeongwoo. Jeongwoo, meanwhile, fresh out of a long and rocky relationship, isn’t ready to act on his feelings toward Eungi. Commence awkward not-dates.

This is the most relatable depiction of the uncomfortable early stages of a romance that I’ve ever seen. It also shows how trauma from past toxic relationships can affect new, healthy ones. But it’s never too heavy-handed about it. It’s really funny at times, but also has its fair share of angst. It’s also my favorite on this list, and I adore all of these comics.

In the official English translation, their names are Edward and Justin, but I think it's weird when they do that.

Update: Fools is being remastered in full color with an updated art style, but I still recommend the original.

Unintentional Love Story - *complete

I’m pretty sure this one is complete in Korean, and has something like 55 chapters.

Wonyoung is fired from his job after being falsely incriminated in a corruption scandal. By sheer luck, he happens to run into the company chairman’s favorite ceramic artist, Yoon Taejun, who has been living under an alias. He’s told he will likely get his job back if he could get Taejun to partner with the company, so he tries to get close to Taejun without revealing that he knows his true identity. What he doesn’t plan on, though, is falling in love with Taejun.

This one is where the DRAMA is at. The story doesn’t ignore the fact that the relationship was built on a lie. It addresses it, and then addresses it, and as of chapter 35, is still addressing it. It hurts so good.

How to Hate Mate - complete

Or, Hate Mate

Two years ago, Subin drunkenly confessed his feelings to his straight roommate, Hyunwoo. After that, Hyunwoo left for his mandatory military service, and Subin hasn’t heard from him since. Just when Subin is finally ready to move on, Hyunwoo reappears and things get complicated.

Listen. Hate Mate hurt me in a big way. Don’t read this if you’re looking for the warm fuzzies, because you will not find them here. I loved this story for its realism. All the characters are seriously flawed, and even though it ended the way I hoped it would, nothing feels fully resolved. This comic will hurt you and skip the aftercare. Anyways, have fun.

A Shoulder to Cry On - complete

Or, Cheer Up Boy. Or, Comfort the Boy. There are too many alternate titles, but I like A Shoulder to Cry On best.

When Dayeol is framed for assault by Taehyun, he nearly loses his archery scholarship. But instead of feeling the least bit remorseful for nearly ruining Dayeol’s life, Taehyun starts to torment Dayeol even further.

So a LOT of fiction will do this thing where a character will just be truly horrible, but when their tragic backstory is revealed, they’re supposed to be absolved of all guilt. I HATE that. I hate it to the point where just introducing a tragic backstory actually makes me hate the character more, because I anticipate that happening.

That being said, Taehyun is one of the biggest assholes I’ve ever seen as a main love interest, and his backstory got to me. It made me like him, and I’m ashamed for not standing by my principals. It helps that he’s not immediately forgiven for bullying Dayeol just because he had a bad childhood, but still.

What I’m saying is that this is fucking sad and you should read it. But I’m recommending this with a big fat trigger warning for self harm.

#cool doji danshi #zettai bl ni naru sekai vs zettai bl ni naritakunai otoko #karasugaoka don't be shy!!#a strange joke webcomic #just kidding webcomic #three men one chinchilla #march third #fools webcomic #unintentional love story #hate mate #how to hate mate #a shoulder to cry on #comic recs

[translation+lyrics] Darkness by Seraph

youtube

Seraph’s most recent album titled “Darkness”, god that sounds so generic but it’s a good one. Despite the generic naming sense I think the artwork is rather un-generic for them, it certainly looks like nothing I’ve seen from them, just hope it’s a sign they’re shaking things up and breaking their own mold and not a sign of any dispute with the previous artist. The opening track is truly captivating and definitely my favorite but the album doesn’t get complacent and instead sounds pretty different on every song. I also find that the second song, Sacrifice, actually sounds a lot like something from Symholic with the constant breaks it does. Wait I’m an idiot, right after typing that I checked who composed it and it was indeed Paspal from Symholic 😓.

Anyway, it’s a neat album, at least a 6 for me, also cool how it’s so death-centric and dear god I’m just making this sound even more generic I gotta stop. Also now I’m free of the curse of always feeling kind of bad for not covering any Seraph albums despite doing a ton of songs from them already. Lyrics down below and see you next time.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Vocals: 海紅 (Credited for the entire album)

01.フィーネの柩 (fiine no hitsugi, Coffin of the End)

Composer: HINODE

yume kazoete saa nemurimashou yofuke ni magireta hitoshizuku nomihoshite mabuta tojireba tsutau omoi wa ochiru

now let's sleep and count up our dreams let the night wrap away this tear as I close my eyes and my thoughts catch up to me

yami dakaete samayou ishiki boyakete yuganda keshiki kokoro sae hoshigaru mono wo omoi dazezu ni iru no

my consciousness drifts as the darkness embraces it and so does the scenery distort and grow dim That for which I long so much in my heart refuses to leave my thoughts

eguru kizu wo kakushita makka na Ribbon hodoku sono te wa yasashiku hana wo oru

My grievous wounds are hidden by a crimson ribbon but a hand unwraps it as if tearing apart a kind flower

torawareta sono tsubomi wa hitsugi wo kazaru dake no tame ni hiraku nigai mitsu tarashi fuhai kasaneta akuma to chigiri kawashite

The bud of entrapment sprouts to decorate the coffin and the rotting ensues as its bitter nectar leaks for it has been sworn to a demon

yume kakushite nee odorimashou koboreta fuan no hitoshizuku shisen nado karamanakutemo owaranu sekai mawaru

Let us dance hidden away in dreams A single drop of doubt spills over as our gazes fix on each other and the world endlessly spins

yami mitsumeta akirame no naka usureru ishiki no sono magiwa sasayaku sono kotoba wa dare wo tomurau no

I found the darkness when I had given up right as I was going to fade away but who are those voices mourning for

shizuka ni oto wo tatezu yorisou kage wa tada [sei] [shi] wo miushinau mono izanau

a silent sound rises and approaches through the shadows an invitation to those who've discarded "life" and "death"

naku koto mo mou dekinai mono iwanu mukuro wa kubomi kage sasu darenimo nitsukanu utsukushisa hanachi akuma no nodo wo narasu

I can't even cry anymore this silent corpse is covered by a depressive shadow with a beauty like no other as the demon's voice is heard

towa ni sono tsubomi wa hitsugi wo mimamoru dake no tame ni hiraku nigai mitsu tarashi fuhai kasaneta tairin no hana sakasete

for eternity that seedling will sprout only to watch over the casket spilling its bitter nectar of corruption when it's flower blooms

yume egaite subete tozashita yofuke ni mezameru monogatari sasaki mo todokanai deshou nidoto meguranu toki wo machi aware na hi wa kieru

the dream is now locked away that of awakening one night my whispers won't reach either I won't get a second chance this faint light has faded away

inori kumu te wa imi wo nasazu kuchiru dake

it makes no sense that my prayers go unheard as they merely rot away with me

youtube

Sacrifice

Composer: Paspal

kairitsu tadasu tsumibito no shirushi moeru you na itami ga hikari uzuku usukegareta hane ni nokosareta asu he tobu chikara wa mou wazuka demo

the brand of a sinner of their own beliefs hurts like it's on fire when casted by the light their wings have been tainted but they still have a sliver of strength left for tomorrow

nakanai sora shiroi hana kami ni aisareshi akashi no hane subete michi tarita you na hibi sae kono kokoro furuwaseru koto wa naku

unwavering sky, pure white flowers and wings that prove they're loved by god those were days were everything was granted so this heart knew no doubt

irotsuku hana wo erabi yadoshita kono mi de wa sasagu nie no imi nado hatasenai subete ga gisei ni nattemo

pick a tainted flower from the ones layed upon this body unfulfilled offerings for a wish that can't be achieved even if everything were sacrificed for it

soredemo nao karenu hana yo tatoe itami to natte chi wo nagashi horobite shimaou tomo ryoune ni iro wo tomoshita kono netsu ga sashi shimesu kagiri hanasanai

yet it is an unwitting flower through all the pain and blood even if it were to perish it's roots would still be brightly colored this passion is one thing they won't let go of

saigen no nai katachi wo motomete rakuen wa unmei no ue ni tatsu kegare no nai junpaku no naka de me wa kurami gimon sae mo umarenai

Wishing for a boundless body Paradise towers above our fates Pure and immaculate, perfectly white making my vision fade and my doubts dissipate

nakenai me ni shiroi yume sasagumono wa taikutsu wo shitta kanjou wo mochi te wo nobasu shunkan kono sekai wa koware nibun sareta

my dry eyes witnessed this white dream where the offered ones grew bored yet the moment they reached out for emotions their world was torn apart a second time

irotsuku hana wo mamori kuzureta kinkou wa sude ni gisei wo mizu ni ate ni shita mise kake dake no Utopia

the equilibrium protected by the tainted flowers has been broken with no offerings in sight as this utopia was an empty one

soredemo nao sugarumono yo soko ni motometa hazu no rakuen wa shiroku saki hokoru no ka? jiyuu ni ikiru koto sae yurusarenu nara chiri to kiete kamawanai

yet there are still those who cling to it but will the paradise they're reaching out for be adorned with white flowers? For as long as we can live freely then I don't mind rotting away into dust

jiga wo motsu koto ga tsumi ni sae mo naru to tatoe itami to natte chi wo nagashi kurushimi ataerare you to

If free will is a sin that explains all the pain and bloodshed that has been brought about by it

daremo shiranu netsu wo himeta hana yo kago no tori demo utaeru to sasayaki saki tsutsukete ryoune ni iro wo tomoshita kono netsu ga mi wo kogashi tsukushi hateru made

the unspoken fever of these flowers was like a bird's song inside a cage which they whispered as they bloomed tainting up these roots until this body burns away

Abyss

Composer: Irori

utsushi yo nageite tobidatsu hikizuru kage wa ate donaku towa ni egaki tsutsuketa negai nomihoshi inori no kairo wa doku he to kawatte

a lament springs up in this waning world and the shadow pulling me is aimless swallowing up my desires for eternity all those wishes have rotted into poison

kanjou zetsubou mada kienai shousou aragaenai zanzou tozasareru kedo shoudou setsubou mada mienai gaishou nariyamanai zankyou tada kurikaeshita

emotions, despair, lingering urges even if locked away, their traces can't be held back impulses, wishes, phantom pains they won't stop ringing on and on

hitori hagure samayou souretsu wa asu wo tsunaganu kinou

losing myself wandering on my own in this procession disjointing past and future

yondeiru koe ga dareka wakaranai tesaguri motomete mo jiyuu wo tsunagi tome warau shinigami

I don't know whose voice is calling out But I will reach out to it to the reaper whose gentle laugh grants me freedom

naiteiru dareka umeki tomaranai yami kara nobiru te wa hana no you ni mogaki tsutsuketa katsute no yume

Who is that person who won't stop crying? Reaching their hand through the darkness Like a flower struggling on for their dream

kakuriyo fuhen ni oborete shizumu karada wa dare wo yobu soko ni hai tsutsuketa uso ni mamirete wa fushoku shiteku koe doku he to kawatta

drowning in the afterlife's eternity who is that body calling out for crawling in the pits covered in deceit even their dry voice turning into poison

dareka wo shinjiraretara sukui no koe wa kikoeta no? aa hitori hagure tadayou tamashii wa tsuki no sekai wo terasu

whom shall I trust am I hearing a voice that will save me? I simply wander in solitude as this soul shines onto the afterlife

mai agaru ame ga kioku hodokanai nurete wa sabitsuita sepia iro ni oto wa kiete kuzureta

this rain won't unravel my memories it's humidity merely rusts away at me as the sepia colored tone fades away

naiteiru dareka umeki tomaranai yami kara nobiru te wa hana no you ni mogaki tsutsuketa katsute no yume

Who is that person who won't stop crying? Reaching their hand through the darkness Like a flower struggling on for their dream

MANATAGGED! 11 Q Meme.

Tagged by @since-the-900s what a great surprise! Thanks fam!

(Answer 11 questions, tag 11 people)

1. Describe and inside joke with little to no context

One time me and @tyrestgwa described a situation where we watched shows and needed to “Catch Up on HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOEEEEEEEH!” xD

2. Describe something that makes you happy

Lately it’s been a mix of things. One of em is Utapri Shining Live, that game may be just a rhythm game but it has kept me sane/happy when I start feeling depressed or anxious. Also finally getting the courage to keep making more Okudaira comics/art in general. Any time I get to talk about Ginga,Himeko &Fuya I just feel happy cuz they mean a lot to me.THAT and doing anything abridged (scripting/voice acting) and singing an actually posting song covers!

3. What’s the funniest joke you know by heart?

Any abridged episode ever made by either myself or my abridged community friends (I have way too many)

4. What’s the craziest conversation you’ve overheard?

One time someone used the words “too maleish” as an adjective. Ever since that day, I have questioned as to what the heck that means XD...also apparently that person pretending to tolerate a franchise they don’t enjoy just to fit in with a person that had influence in a fandom they were also in just to get street cred, only to talk bad about it behind their back *SLOOOOW CLAAAAAAAAAP*

5. What’s your favorite song at the moment?

Y’know I am a person who listens to a BUNCH of music a LOT. ALL THE TIME but I play a lotta stuff on repeat. Lately (BESIDES “JAP” by Abingdon Boys School because I have to rehearse it for Anime Idol)

I have REALLY been feeling these 2 equally:

“Bright Burning Shout” by Takanori Nishikawa

youtube

and “Eclipse” by Aoi Shouta

youtube

6. What languages do you wish you could speak?

I really should start on taking learning Japanese seriously cuz it would be beneficial to not just hobbies but who knows what doors it can open for me. I’ve been told by people that my singing is already hella accurate & maybe I can do something with it. But aside from that I think learning Quechua from my mom would be cool!

7. Describe your idea of a ‘perfect day’

Wake up at a decent time, play some Shining Live, get ready for work so I can have money, come back, play more Shining Live, work out for an hr, shower, then the rest of the night I can either do some song/voice recordings, scripting, drawing, cosplay progress or if I just wanna be a lazy cat, just watch a movie, tokusatsu, or anime that I been meaning to get around to while checking social media in between breaks. I know that is what I already do. But my perfect day/life would be actually being in the music or acting industry and doing that schedule, but for now, this is fine ;w;

8. What’s the worst movie trope in your opinion?

Honestly I don’t like it when a minority gets stereotyped.That drives me up the waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallllll.

9. What made you laugh the hardest ever in your life?

I think there was this one moment in Hunter x Hunter Abridged by CoffinJockey & EarlofBassignton that gets me EVERY TIME. THE SET UP TO THAT PUNCHLINE IS ONE OF THE MOST BRILLIANT THINGS I’VE SEEN. ((I PUT A TIME STAMP ON THIS LINK. OMFG WATCH IT AND YOU WILL UNDERSTAND XD HAHAH))) ITS SO GOOD. THE DELIVERY OF THE VOICES MADE IT EVEN BETTER! I haven’t even seen the original show and I love this parody XD!

TIME STAMP 6:20

youtube

10. What animal is the most majestic?

Yall ever seen MY FAVE ANIMAL? The MAJESTICAL FLAP FLAP?

11. If you could afford everything, what kind of clothes would you wear?

*RUBS PALMS TOGETHER* 8) no budget eyyy???

Well I always wanted lolita clothes tbh but it can be expensive ;w;o But I wanna own at least one dress/outfit someday. But also I want some really fancy or cool jrock/jpop inspired things. So a combo of stuff like this:

(((totally doesn’t use this as a chance to look at Takanori Nisikawa pics XD)))

UHHHH YEAH 11 QUESTIONS?!??

1. What is the best music related thing you bought in 2017 or 2018?

2. Cats or Rabbits?

3. What Disney character do you think is underrated?

4. Name 3 films you liked this year!

5. What is one of the best memories you’ve made in the past 5 yrs?

6. If you could ask aliens 1 question, what would you ask?

Tenimyu Challenge!

Tenimyu 30-day Challenge

1. How did you first come across TeniMyu?

It was back in late 2010/early 2011. I had just learned about the wonder that is tenipuri character songs and was browsing YouTube for more tenipuri material when I stumbled across a video of 1st season’s Do Your Best. I found it odd, to say the least, but the songs were very catchy and I recognized Shirotan from clips of the live action tenipuri movie so it got me curious. That led to more tenimyu videos, including clips from Imperial Match Hyoutei, Dream Live 3rd, and by the time I found a clip of the Rikkai’s medley on Dream Live 7th, I was completely hooked. (Massu is the PERFECT GODLY BAD ASS YUKIMURA.)

2. Talk about a performance/show that gave you a lot of feelings.

Oretachi no Aikotoba from Dream Live 6th. My precious 4th cast babies were all crying, some even admitted in their speeches that they didn’t want to stop playing their characters and leave tenimyu. how can I not cry

3. Favorite Seigaku cast? Who’s your favorite member?

I’M TORN BETWEEN 6TH CAST AND 8TH CAST. BUT.

I LOVE YOU, ZAIKI TAKUMA

4. What kinds of TeniMyu merchandise do you have?

So far I only have clear files of Seigaku 6th cast and Rokkaku from 2nd season’s Seigaku VS Rikkai. Looking to get my hands on that Seigaku VS Rikkai DVD soon mhmm

5. Favorite Shitenhoji cast member? Which cast do you prefer and why?

Shiraishi actors are all perfect

6. Which TeniMyu song would you cover?

I’m pretty sure I don’t have the vocal range to sing it correctly, but I’d love to sing Yudan Sezu ni Ikou in karaoke.

7. Shuffle your TeniMyu songs on your iTunes/music player. Choose the first five. What’s your opinion on them?

At the moment I only have 2nd season’s Seigaku VS Hyoutei, Seigaku VS Rikkai, and 3rd season’s Seigaku VS Hyoutei

Ranking (3rd SvH) - I don’t really like how it sounds like a hiphop song?? I tend to skip it when I’m listening to this playlist.

Oretachi wa Blizzard - I love this so much, especially Miura’s solo part. It’s such a catchy song.

Samurai - This one’s kinda meh, I’m not really that into it

Mirai e - I don’t know how to express my love for this grad song in words. It’s just. perfect.

Tomorrow for You & I (2nd SvH) - MY TEARS. I love this cast, and I especially love Wada Takuma, and you can hear his voice faltering and just crying and just BABY DON’T CRY

8. Favorite Dream Live?

Dream Live 7th, hands down. It’s the Dream Live that got me hooked. They have adlibs, my beloved Rikkai and Massu, my favorite Echizen, Shirotan, and even 1st cast.

9. A song you feel indifferent towards and a song you hate. Why did you choose these songs?

Idk its title, I just really don’t like the Burning song with Kabaji yelling “BAU!”

10. Favorite Rikkai cast and cast member. Why did you choose the ones you did?

Why do you do this THIS IS SO HARD. I wish I could include 3rd Rikkai here already because I heard they’re amazing, but the DVD isn’t out yet.

11. Do you actually stalk any TeniMyu actors (e.g. their twitters, blogs)?

Mostly just 3rd Rikkai’s Tateishi Toshiki for pictures of his dates with Shogo, Shogo for his cute selfies, and Takuma Isawa, my love, because he’s just so damn handsome and he tweets in Chinese (which I can’t speak but it’s still adorable <3

12. What’s your opinion on the Rokkaku and Higa casts? Do you have a favorite moment or actor in them?

I can’t remember them much because it’s been years since I last watched 1st and 2nd season and they didn’t really leave much of an impression except for 2nd Saeki and Luke C.

It’s actually amazing because I hated Kite in the anime/manga, but Luke C. makes him impossible to hate.

2nd Saeki had a pretty voice and a pretty face. I can remember watching this Shounen boyband thing that he was in back then just for him.

13. Who plays the best Tezuka? The best Shiraishi? The best Ryoma? The best Fuji?

ZAIKI TAKUMA THE BEST.

He’s the Tezuka actor who looks the part the most, acts like Tezuka in the sense that he seems rather strict, and honestly, when he sings, he looks like how I’d imagine Tezuka would look like while singing. His movements are graceful and perfect, he always stays in character and keeps a straight face, and when he finally does smile, it’s just so beautiful I could melt. He’s a Tezuka to the core.

Sasaki Yoshihide is super graceful as Shiraishi and crazy fun backstage. Love him.

I only like Echizen (only in Tenimyu) thanks to his actors but most especially because of Takahashi Ryuuki’s performance in Final Match Rikkai 2nd

Furukawa Yuuta is probably my favorite Fuji. He has an amazing voice and beautiful dancing skills.

14. Favorite song and actor from any St. Rudolph cast.

2nd season’s Erabareshii Elite, was it? That was a beautiful song with beautiful choreography, and I absolutely LOVED Mizuki in that one (who doesn’t??)

15. Favorite song and actor from any Fudomine/Yamabuki cast.

3rd Yamabuki’s Sengoku has the most charming smile!! I love how he keeps winking.

16. How many TeniMyu songs can you sing along to (50-100%) by heart?

The Prince of Tennis, Do Your Best, Yudan Sezu ni Ikou, Ikki Uchi, Yume wo Tsunage, Koori no Emperor, Season, Kiken na Game, Petenshi daa nanto demo ie, Kourin Suru Ouja, Omaera Gakeppuchi Girigiri, Kimi wo Shinjiteru, Mou Mayoi wa nai, Oretachi no Jisho ni Haiboku wa nai, Remember Hyoutei, Hyoutenka no Jounetsu, Koori no Sekai, Heavy Rain, Oretachi no Aikotoba, Sanrenpa ni Shikaku nashi, Highlight, Boku wa Dare, Dead End, Kore de mo owari kai, FGKS, On My Way, Tenimuhou no Kiwami, Mirai e, Tomorrow for You & I, etc.

17. What’s your opinion on the Hyotei casts? Do you prefer one over the others? Why?

I adore Miura Hiroki!!! Tiny ballet Atobe is the best Atobe

18. A character you like in TeniMyu but don’t like/feel indifferent towards in The Prince of Tennis.

Echizen Ryoma, Kite Eishirou, Mizuki Hajime

19. A character you like in Prince of Tennis that was ruined by an actor’s portrayal of it in TeniMyu (could be from any cast).

idk... none for me

20. Top three favorite songs from TeniMyu.

why :(

I’d say Oretachi no Aikotoba, Do Your Best, Yudan Sezu ni Ikou

21. A cast you’d want to hang out with for a day.

???? 6th cast? 8th cast? Or 3rd Rikkai cast!!!

22. So far do you prefer the first season over the second season? Or is it a vice-versa kind of situation?

Although the production of second season had a huge step up in quality, I still prefer many of the first season songs and casts over the second season ones.

23. Favorite backstage moment.

any moment with crying babies

24. Favorite stage moment.

For a whole song performance, I can’t choose between the Atobe solo in 3rd Seigaku VS Rokkaku bc MIURA, but there’s also the 1st Petenshi daa nanto demo ie with the perfect Niou and Yagyuu.

For a single moment, I love the short part in between 神の子～DEAD END where Yukimura raises his racket and the Rikkai regulars surround him, kneel, and raise their rackets to him.

HAIL YUKIMURA SEIICHI OF TEAM RIKKAI, FIRST OF HIS NAME, CHILD OF GOD, KING OF CHAMPIONS, THIEF OF SENSES, MOTHER OF DEMONS, BREAKER OF TENNIS HOPES AND DREAMS

25. If you could see any past TeniMyu performance live and front-row, which one would it be? Would you change anything about it?

3rd Season Seigaku VS Hyoutei, and I’d like to change what happened at senshuuraku because it’s a very special day and I don’t want it to be ruined or dampened for Zaiki (and ofc I don’t want him to get hurt).

26. Somehow you manage to get a whole day to “date” your favorite TeniMyu actor. Who is it and which TeniMyu song would they serenade you with?

Love

Zaiki

Takuma

27. What was your favorite cast when you first started watching TeniMyu? What is it now?

1st season Finals Rikkai because Massu, Okki, and the old cast

at the moment it’s 8th cast because ... Zaiki

28. Honest opinion, who’s the worst singer of TeniMyu? The worst actor?

:( idk

29. The best singer of TeniMyu. What about the best actor?

Onoda Ryunosuke (Rikkai B’s Yagyuu) is Chris in Miss Saigon so ...

Best actor for my biased self is Zaiki because he is Tezuka

30. Who’s in your ideal Dream Live performance? What songs would they sing?

All Seigaku casts!!!! or all Rikkai casts or just 8th cast + 3rd season’s Hyoutei + 3rd Rikkai singing 1st cast songs and I want SanaYuki + TezuFuji or AtoTezu fanservice songs lol
