Spring anime "Fugou Koukai Balance UNLIMITED" revealed that the OP theme is "NAVIGATOR" by Johnny's "SixTONES"!

The opening theme song for the TV anime "Detective Balance: UNLIMITED," which began airing on Fuji Television's "Noitamina" and other stations on April 9, 2020, is a new song "NAVIGATOR" by the Japanese group "SixTONES," which made its CD debut this past January. It has been revealed that the opening theme is a new song "NAVIGATOR" by Japanese group "SixTONES", which made its CD debut in January this year.

Balance: UNLIMITED" is a TV animation based on Yasutaka Tsutsui's best-selling novel "The Richest Detective". The story is about the main character, Daisuke Kobe, who has extraordinary wealth and boldly solves cases in unconventional ways that no one can imagine.

⇒"The Rich Detective," based on the Yasutaka Tsutsui novel, will be broadcast on Fuji Television's "Noitamina" and other channels from April 2020! The first key visual and PV have been released!

SixTONES made their CD debut this January with "Imitation Rain," a rock ballad produced by YOSHIKI (X JAPAN). Their new song "NAVIGATOR," the OP theme of the film and their second single to be released on June 3, is an up-tempo dance tune that fits the words hard/edge/rock.

For the TV anime "Detective Wealthy Balance:UNLIMITED," the opening theme was released in a new way, different from the way it has been done before, in order to let fans see the fusion of the world of the anime and the world of the music without preconceived ideas.

The opening theme was also played in the first episode aired on April 9, but the title of the song and the artist's credits were not disclosed, causing fans who watched the anime to ask, "Who is this? Who are they?" and "Are they SixTONES now?

The preview banner of the anime posted on SNS before the broadcast had a hint of "SixTONES," and on the official SixTONES Instagram, the six members uploaded a photo of themselves recording a new song every day for six days from April 3 to 8. Since April 9, when the six members' posts ended, was the day of the first broadcast of the anime, fans speculated, "Was this actually a countdown? The six posted photos were uploaded on April 9, the same day as the first broadcast of the anime.

Comments from Jesse, a member of SixTONES, and Tak Matsuo, the producer of the anime "Fugou Kantei Balance: UNLIMITED" have been received.

Jesse's comment (original in Japanese)
At first, we were under a lot of pressure. We were told at the time of our CD debut that our music was "not idol-like," but we are proud to say that our music has been used in the cool and cool anime "Detective Ricoh: Balance:UNLIMITED". I hope that our music can play a part in expanding the world view of the cool and cool anime "Balance: UNLIMITED. And I would be happy if even just a little more people become interested in SixTONES!

Tak Matsuo's comment (original in Japanese)
In order to reboot the work "The Rich Detective" created by Mr. Yasutaka Tsutsui 45 years ago and to present it to the world in the year 2020 with "the latest world view," we have selected "the most powerful artist of the moment," SixTONES, to be the director. I am very pleased that SixTONES, who are "the most powerful artists of the moment," have added their colorful and powerful colors to the work.
I feel that SixTONES and the main character in this film, Daisuke Kobe, have many things in common, such as coolness, courage, and unfathomable charm.
We received a very powerful song by SixTONES, which we are confident that the audience will enjoy without any information about the artist, so we took the unusual step of keeping the artist information a secret for the first episode. We are very excited to be able to unveil the opening theme "NAVIGATOR" as viewers around the world are very excited about the "mysterious opening theme".
We hope you will enjoy "NAVIGATOR," which will also be played in tonight's second episode!
