20th Century Returns to Anime Openings After 26 Years with MAO Theme
Talk about a blast from the past! Anime music legends 20th Century are back. The group, formed from former V6 members, will perform "Bokura ga Uwagaki suru Sekai," the new opening for the MAO anime's second part. This is huge news for long-time fans. It marks their first anime opening in 26 years.
Their previous iconic track? "CHANGE THE WORLD." It was the very first opening for the legendary Inuyasha anime. That song defined a generation of shonen viewers. Now, two and a half decades later, they return for MAO. The connection is perfect: MAO is the latest work from Rumiko Takahashi, the same mangaka behind Inuyasha. It's a full-circle moment for the band and Takahashi-sensei's devoted fanbase. What a comeback!
“It marks their first anime opening in 26 years.”

What a fantastic piece of news for fans who grew up with Inuyasha! This comeback by 20th Century, especially for another Rumiko Takahashi series, feels incredibly fitting. It's a reminder of how intertwined music and anime history can be.
