SixTONES to sing WIND BREAKER Season 2’s opening

It has been announced that SixTONES will sing the opening song for the second season of the famous anime WIND BREAKER, starting next April. Details such as the name of the song, etc. will be revealed at a later date.

This is the fourth time SixTONES has sung an anime’s opening and it’s been 4 years since the last time. The first time was in 2020 with NAVIGATOR, for the Fugō Keiji Balance: Unlimited. Then they sang the first opening, NEW ERA (2020) and the third opening, Kyomei (2021), for Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon.

PLOT

From an early age, Haruka Sakura was made an outcast due to his unconventional appearance and lack of social skills. However, the rough treatment turned him into a proficient fighter, which is now the only thing he prides himself on. Starting at Furin High School, where it is rumored that strength is valued over academics, Sakura has only one goal—taking the top spot.

Involved in a street brawl the day before his enrollment, Sakura happens to meet a group of his future schoolmates. Instead of the usual rejection, they fight alongside him, demonstrating that what the school actually cares about is protecting the town of Makochi from any harm—hence why the students call themselves “Bofurin.” Surprised by the support and appreciation of the townspeople, Sakura has a hard time accepting their goodwill.

Though unfamiliar with kindness being shown to him, Sakura must learn to push past his discomfort when Bofurin is pitted against formidable enemies. After experiencing the feeling of acceptance, he finds himself fighting for the sake of others for the first time.

COMMENT BY JURI TANAKA

I am a fan of the original manga WIND BREAKER, so I am very happy that SixTONES will be performing the opening theme for the TV anime WIND BREAKER Season 2.

The friendship and bond between the men in WIND BREAKER, and the unity and passion of them when they get together, is something that the six members of SixTONES share, and I feel a sense of affinity with them.

Of course, I want people who like SixTONES to watch it, and I would be happy if people who don’t know SixTONES could also get to know us through the song.

SixTONES celebrated its 5th anniversary since its debut on January 22nd. They are in the middle of their tour called YOUNG OLD, where you can read the live report with exclusive photos for Dumpling Box here. In addition, they will release their single called Barrier on March 19th, and they are preparing for the 10th anniversary of the group’s formation on May 1st, where they will celebrate with all the fans in an online event.
