Song Title: Identity
Artist: Mikio, Sakai

Youtube - Rakudai Kishi no Eiyuutan Opening



高みを目指すのさ - A brave new world
情熱の切っ先で
この舞台(ばしょ)に刻むのは - It's my soul

takami o mezasu no sa - A brave new world
jounetsu no kissaki de
kono basho ni kizamu no wa - It's my soul

Aiming for a greater height - A brave new world.
Using this sword tip filled with blazing passion.
Let’s engrave it in this place (battle stage) - It’s my soul.


誰にも触れさせないアイデンティティ
共鳴してく鼓動
運命はこの一瞬で決まるだろう

Dare ni mo furesasenai Aidentiti
Kyoumeishiteku koudou
Unmei wa kono isshun de kimaru darou

I won’t let anyone touch this Identity.
The throbbing heart beat is resonating.
Fate will be decided in this very moment.


“覚悟”を嘲笑えばいい 奢り高ぶればいい
迷い踏み潰し - Let's go ahead!
〜Let's go ahead, Right now〜

"kakugo" o waraeba ii ogori takabureba ii
mayoi fumi tsubushi - Let's go ahead!
〜Let's go ahead, Right now〜

You can mock at my “resolution”, you can drown yourself in haughtiness.
Stomp away your doubt - Let’s go ahead!
〜Let's go ahead, Right now〜


だから今打ち破るのさ そう明日を塞ぐ重いドアを
全力で自分使い尽くせ 土壇場のクライマックス
It's time to take a top.

dakara ima uchiyaburu no sa sou ashita wo fusagu omoi doa wo
zenryouku de jibun tsukai tsukuse dotanba no kuraimakkusu
It's time to take a top.

That’s why I smash it. Yes, it’s the heavy door that obstruct tomorrow.
Use every last bit of your own power. This is a critical moment – climax.
It's time to take a top.


打ち消してみせるさイメージを
進化に深化重ね
この騎士道(みち)の軌跡は僕が作るのさ

uchikeshite miseru sa imeeji o
sinka ni sinka kasane
kono michi no kiseki wa boku ga tsukuru no sa

I show you that I can erase it – Image.
Pile effort with even more effort.
I will make my mark in this road (Knighthood)


本能が蠢くんだ 時に邪魔なセオリー
リミッター外して - Let's go ahead!
〜Let's go ahead, Right now〜

honnou ga ugomekunda tokini jamana seorii
rimittaa hazushite - Let's go ahead!
〜Let's go ahead, Right now〜

My instinct is flashing. At times theory is only a hindrance.
Let go of the limiter - Let's go ahead!
〜Let's go ahead, Right now〜


だから今突き破るのさそう未来を拒む厚いドアを
起死回生 目の前のチャンスを 見逃すわけがないから
放たれた光の中で 魂の熱を上げてくのさ
最高の敵(ライバル)と向き合った 背水のクライマックス
It's time to take a top!

dakara ima tsukiyaburu no sa sou mirai o kobamu atsui doa o
kishikaisei me no mae no kyansu o minogasu wake ga nai kara
hanatareta hikari no naka de tamashii no netsu o ageteku no sa
saikou no raibaru to mukiatta haisui no kuraimakkusu
It's time to take the top!

That’s why pierce through it. Yes, it’s the thick door that rejects the future.
A chance to turn back the table in front of my eyes. There’s no way I can overlook it.
Inside this dazzling light. Burn your soul even hotter.
Facing with the strongest rival (enemy). This is the last stand – climax.
It's time to take a top!


生きてる証さ - Let's go ahead!

ikiteru akashi sa - Let's go ahead!

It’s my prove of being alive – Let's go ahead!


だから今打ち破るのさそう明日を塞ぐ重いドアを
最弱(さいきょう)の自分使い尽くせ 研ぎ澄まされた心で
一撃で突き破るのさ そう未来を拒む厚いドアを
起死回生 その瞬間(とき)が来たのさ 土壇場のクライマックス
It's time to take a top!

dakara ima uchiyaburu no sa sou ashita o fusagu omoi doa o
saikyou no jibun tsukai tsukuse togisumasareta kokoro de
ichigeki de tsukiyaburu no sa sou mirai o kobamu atsui doa o
kishikaisei sono toki ga kita no sa dotanba no kuraimakkusu
It's time to take a top!

That’s why I smash it. Yes, it’s the heavy door that obstruct tomorrow.
Use my own strongest (weakest) to the very last. Using my well honed heart.
That’s why pierce through it. Yes, it’s the thick door that rejects the future.
Until the time (moment) the second wind comes. This is a critical moment – climax.
It's time to take a top!



This song is a calm empowering one. I especially like the opening animation from the anime. Manly to the max! FYI there are 3 different opening animation available from the anime. It only differs in the current enemy that the main character will have to face.

Anyway the song is cool and calm but it was like about to burst over with power. A song about a man thirst, greediness for power. It was like silently building power and let it all lose in a single instant.


3 spot that I especially like is

迷い踏み潰し - Let's go ahead! mayoi fumi tsubushi - Let's go ahead!

この騎士道(みち)の軌跡は僕が作るのさ kono michi no kiseki wa boku ga tsukuru no sa

生きてる証さ - Let's go ahead! ikiteru akashi sa - Let's go ahead!


There are places that have parentheses in them. That means that how the kanji reading is different but read as the one inside parenthesis. This kind of parentheses comes out when the writer wants to express their word even deeper.

舞台(ばしょ) -> Kanji reads as butai (stage) while it read as basho (place)
The place where the writer wanted to engrave his soul, in the battle stage.

敵(ライバル) -> Kanji reads as teki (enemy) while it read as raibaru (rival)
Seeing enemy as rival making oneself even more focused to the desire of winning

最弱(さいきょう) -> saijaku (weakest) read as saikyou (strongest)
Related to the anime story. MC is the weakest yet the strongest fighter there is.
