Karanoah crashes onto anime scene with “BAN 番” for Gachiakuta
Karanoah BAN 番 crashes onto the anime scene as the high-octane ending theme for the second cour of Gachiakuta. A first-ever anime tie-up for the band, this track channels chaos, emotion, and unstoppable energy, perfectly capturing the series’ fierce and unpredictable world.
Written by vocalist-guitarist Yudai, “BAN 番” propels listeners through a storm of sonic energy — a whirlwind of distorted guitars, unpredictable turns, and emotional intensity. Blending mechanical beats and organic live instrumentation, the track evokes the image of Gachiakuta’s characters creating music from discarded materials. From the clang of cans to the crush of paper, every sound contributes to the song’s vivid, junkyard-like texture.
Karanoah explores character tension through lyrics and sound
Lyrically, “BAN 番” examines the tension between two people separated by circumstance — mirroring the inner struggles and desires that define the series’ characters. The result is a song that complements the anime’s narrative while asserting Karanoah’s presence as a force in Japan’s new rock landscape.
The music video for “BAN 番”, directed by Masato Murata, further illustrates the song’s universe through a powerful reinterpretation. Combining 2D animation, 3DCG, and live-action, the MV explores a world divided, where equality fractures into chaos and hope flickers through the cracks. Explosive performance scenes, fire, and moving lights bring the band’s intensity to life in true Gachi style.
