JO1 Comments
I am extremely happy that we, as JO1, are able to work together with Tokyo Revengers. I felt a strong sense of connection as the raw strength of fighting grittily against a grand fate overlapped with JO1.
I think everyone in the world is fighting against various things, but I believe there ain't anyone chickening out among us, so I hope we can deliver the best music and work to fight alongside all of you.

First of all, I am truly grateful to be given such a valuable opportunity this time. I myself am a fan of Tokyo Revengers, and when I heard this news, I was unbelievably happy. I have been eagerly waiting ever since Season 3 ended, so I am really looking forward to watching it myself.
With our JO1 track being used in it, I hope you will enjoy them together. I think it is a song that fits the final revenge, so I hope you listen to it a lot and enjoy it.

I participated as a lyricist this time! I'm Syoya Kimata from JO1!! First of all, I am truly happy to be involved in the series through the opening theme song for Tokyo Revengers!! On top of that, I was really surprised that my lyrics were adopted!!!
I also love Tokyo Revengers so much, and since it is a work loved by many fans, I felt I had to do my best, rewriting it over and over again and taking revenge repeatedly as I wrote. I would be happy if you listen to it a lot!!

I think our JO1 music intertwining with the new episode creates an even more grand and exhilarating work! When I first heard about this, I was honestly scared... but no matter how difficult the situation or how away the setting, we have stood up over and over for our fans (our precious people)! I think that aspect is similar to the protagonist and other characters appearing in the work!
Now, there isn't a single person among the members who is chickening out! The accelerator of our hearts' motorcycle is full throttle at all times!! We have all of you readers, and you have JO1! Let's open a new curtain together and draw the best story!!! Let's gooooo!!!

I originally loved watching Tokyo Revengers! The final chapter is particularly complex, and within a chaotic world, I wanted to directly convey Takemichi's determination to stand up and take revenge over and over again, putting that into the lyrics of "IGNITE." I am truly happy and honored to have this opportunity. I am really looking forward to hearing "IGNITE" play in the anime!
Keigo Sato
I am so happy to be chosen for the theme song of Tokyo Revengers this time! It is a series I watched very closely, so I was surprised when we were picked. My favorite character is Keisuke Baji! I had long hair for a while, and back then, it was partly influenced by Baji. I thought long hair was so cool.
All the characters in Tokyorev are so cool! Since it's an anime I love so much, I want to sing with all my heart and do my best! Please listen to it a lot!

It is a true honor that the title track of JO1's 11th single has been chosen as the theme song for Tokyo Revengers. I myself have gained so much courage from the heat of the work, the bonds with friends, and the strength to press forward without giving up. I will tackle this with all my strength to further elevate the world of the work through music and deliver a song that remains in everyone's hearts. Please enjoy it along with the anime.

I personally felt that the world of Tokyo Revengers, this song, and JO1 match so well. The word "revenge" is also included in the lyrics, so I hope you pay attention to that as well. It is a song we all discussed and decided on together, so I would be glad if many people listen to it.
Sho Yonashiro
With numerous artists having handled Tokyo Revengers so far, I am truly happy that we, JO1, get to perform the opening this time! It is a song that is just as cool as the series itself, and I hope we can show a side of ourselves different from before through this track. We will tackle Tokyo Revengers as JO1 with all our strength and with our whole heart and soul! Thank you for your support!!
