Let's kick it off with something jazzy. This is a unique pick for a story about time-traveling delinquents but it's got the right level of emotional intensity for Takemichi's journey. If I'm honest, I liked the beginning a little more than the latter half and that's why I didn't rank this higher. Official HiGE DANdism is a band that's been on my radar for awhile after their song "Pretender" won the 2019 MTV Video Music Awards Japan. 9. The plot of Koikimo, which if you didn't guess by the opening sequence is about a guy in his late twenties who becomes desperately in love with a 17-year-old, isn't for me. But band Ace Collection didn't have anything to do with the story of this series, so I'm not going to fault their music for it. “Monochrome City” is a bouncy song that very easily gets my head bouncing. Singer Tatsuya has a really excellent sound that reminds me of some of my favorite boy bands in the aughts.
