It’s not the first time GRANRODEO have lent their talents to create songs to be featured on anime. The singles “Can Do” and “RIMFIRE” were also used as opening songs on the first season of “Kuroko’s basket” anime. And their latest single “Henai no rondo” was also used as the opening of the josei anime “Karneval”. Code:breaker and Togainu no Chi are also other anime that had their songs featured.
