GENERATIONS members comment
■ Alan Shirahama
I’ve read all of the Baki series and I’ve been a big fan so I’m very happy that our song has been chosen as the ending theme, especially in this Oliva story arc! I remember being scared while reading it when Oliva came out because I don’t know whether there will be a guy that is strong enough to beat him! It’s my bible-like manga because I admired Baki so much that I started weight training myself! Inspired by Oliva’s nickname “Unchain”, the song is completely conscious of this anime!!! This expresses the place where Baki fights and the momentum of the character who gave his life, so I hope to convey this to a lot of people!!!!

■ Ryota Katayose
I am very honored to be involved in the popular anime “Baki Hanma” as an ending theme.
I hope this song will give people who didn’t know GENERATIONS previously a chance to learn about our songs and performances. The song is a very powerful song that is close to the worldview of the source material. I was so impressed that I went to the recording quite fired up so as not to lose the power.

■ Ryuto Kazuhara
I was really surprised because I never thought that my song would be used for the ending theme of Baki Hanma, which is my favorite anime work, but I am very happy!
I hope that this song can make this anime more amazing and make people who listen to this song go beyond their limits!

■ Hayato Komori
When I heard that this was decided, I was so surprised that I thought it was a lie!
I’ve known Baki ever since I was little, and I’m full of joy to be involved in the work I’m reading and wish I could go back and tell my younger self about it!

The title of this song and the keywords of the lyrics come from Mr. Unchain, Olivia, in the anime. When I listen to the completed song and when the performance was completed, releasing this song in the present world where there are many regulations and restrictions, I imagine the joy of being released from this state and the vitality that springs from your heart. I want the song to be something that can be a pillar of support for everyone who is fighting now!

■ Reo Sano
I still can’t believe that it will be used as the ending theme for the popular manga anime work, it’s a strange feeling! The worldview of the work, which is to push forward powerfully, is linked to the taste and lyrics of the song, so I hope that even in the performance of GENERATIONS, I can express and transmit these feelings while being close to the world view of the work!

■ Mandy Sekiguchi
When I first heard about this, I was really happy to be honest! It’s strange to be involved in a work that I’ve known since I was a kid, but the song is perfect for the worldview of “Baki Hanma”, so I hope it will reach people all over the world in conjunction with the series. I noticed that many of the ending themes of past “Baki Hanma” works had a rock taste. We made this song with a the sense of putting a rock feel through the GENERATIONS filter and created a new genre.

■ Yuta Nakatsuka
I am very happy and honored to be able to do the ending theme of my favorite anime! I’m excited that our songs will be used in the anime I’ve been watching. I was able to make another dream come true! There are many lyrics that depict the world of “Baki Hanma”, and the performance is reminiscent of anime, so please look forward to it!
