Hajime no Ippo: Rising Opening Previewed


It has been announced that three-man rock band Wasureranneyo will be singing for the 3rd season of the anime adaptation of George Morikawa's boxing manga, Hajime no Ippo: RISING. Entitled “Yakan Hikou” (Night flight), this will be the anime's opening theme. Check out the preview below:


The song is included in the band's 2nd album “Sora Wo Miagetemo Sora Shika Neeyo” (Looking up at the sky, there is only sky), to be released this October 16th. [Interested? PRE-ORDER HERE!]

The new anime season will pick-up after the end of Hajime no Ippo: New Challenger, after Mamoru Takamura became the WBC Junior Middleweight Champion after defeating Bryan Hawk. This season's highlight is Ippo Makunouchi's match against Ryuhei Sawamura, a boxer that stopped the former's knockout and special move — the Dempsey Roll.

Hajime no Ippo: RISING premieres this October 6th.

  1. I just gotta say, the last few openings were too great, I don't think this will be a good opening for Hajime no Ippo. It's a good song though! It's just not ffor this anime. . .
