For the 4th opening, we have GO!!! (Fighting Dreamers) by Flow, which, aside from thematically relating to the series and characters, is one of the hardest-rocking songs used in the opening, with a combination of sung and rapped vocals, and an instrumental arrangement featuring driving rhythm guitar (especially right after the "Right here! Right now!" section, just over a minute into the video) and a drum pattern that switches between double time and regular time seamlessly.
After almost 10 years, AKFG finally returns to the series to sing Road to Ninja's theme per Kishimoto's personal request.
Haruka Kanata was so highly regarded that when the dub finally used the song for the openings after two seasons of the Narm Charm theme "Rise! Tsuyosa!" (albeit mashed up with the third opening's visuals), the whole fandom was BLOWN AWAY.
Also the Season 2 opening, Haruka Kanata.
The Viz Media version of this opening isn't as well known, but BOY does it get you pumped up! As a matter of fact, they delivered many of the most memorable J-Pop and J-Rock songs to come out of the anime industry in the 2000s and early-to-mid 2010s.Īnd being a Long Runner as it is, there are plenty of tracks to choose from: Whether you like or dislike the anime, if there is one thing most people agree on is that Naruto and Naruto Shippuden consistently delivered awesome Opening and Ending themes.
