Comment from Mr. KSUKE
My new song "Contradiction feat. Tyler Carter" has been selected as the opening song for the Crunchyroll original anime "THE GOD OF HIGH SCHOOL God of High School"! The song is sure to make you feel strong when you listen to it, and I think it matches perfectly with the battle scenes that are the highlight of GOH! The song will be distributed worldwide, so we hope that many people around the world will enjoy it along with the anime, transcending national borders.
