Beyblade X The TV anime project, which was announced earlier this year, is slated to premiere this fall. As the premiere approaches, the anime project has revealed the star-studded lineup of artists behind its opening and ending themes.
Japanese rock band ONE OK ROCK’s “Prove” will be featured as the anime’s opening theme. It was first released as one of the tracks on the band’s tenth studio album A luxury disease in September 2022. Although some live-action anime films have previously used the band’s songs as theme songs, this is the first time the band is making a TV anime series.
