Japanese Band 'BLUE ENCOUNT' Releases Theme Song Collab With Anime 'Rising Impact'

Just recently, the Netflix Anime YouTube channel recently dropped a theme song video with the song 'gifted' by the Japanese rock band 'BLUE ENCOUNT', and the visuals of the anime 'Rising Impact'.

BLUE ENCOUNT is a japanese rock band that formed all the way back in 2004, which features the band members Shunichi Tanabe on vocals and guitar, Yuuya Eguchi on guitar, Yuuta Tsujimura on bass guitar, and Yoshihide Takamura on drums. The band has worked on many songs for anime before, having written theme songs for popular anime like 'My Hero Academia', 'Banana Fish', and even 'Gintama'.

Their latest theme song 'gifted' which they made for one of the latest anime to hit Netflix's library, 'Rising Impact', is not only just a powerful, catchy song meant to hype up moments in the sports anime, but follows the themes of the story as well.

'Rising Impact' is an anime about a young boy in third grade called Nanaumi Gawain, who lives with his grandfather in the rural mountain areas of Fukushima. While the boy has grown up all his life playing baseball, he one day gets an opportunity to try out golf when he meets a professional female golf player, Kiria Nishino. It's during this opportunity that Nanaumi realises that he has both a talent for golf and a strong passion towards it.

Following this opportunity, Kiria offers Nanaumi to move to Tokyo and enrol in Camelot Academy, an internationally acclaimed school for young and aspiring golfers. It is there that Nanaumi's world opens up and he realises just how much talent there is out there in the rest of the world, and that he'll have to work hard if he wants to succeed.

Both the first and second season of the anime Rising Impact are currently available on Netflix.
