Music New Opening: XYZ by Rica Matsumoto

[KrisiChiki]

The opening is really cool!
I tried to avoid watching it until subs of the new episodes were out. Glad I was finally able to watch it.

Yo, still waiting on information about the musicians :c
Aren't these stuff specified in the CD booklets?

Just found something cool - the opening riff of XYZ can be heard at 1:30 in this song "Bye Bye Boy" (unfortunately I don't know the artist's name since I can't read kanji EDIT: it's Yuki Igarashi), which is a cover of "Warrior" by Riot though from what I can tell the lyrics are completely different rather than translated. The original song doesn't contain that riff, it was added to the cover. Did XYZ take the riff from this song? I guess it's a common enough riff that it could be a coincidence but who knows.



Here's the original song by Riot:



Riot is one of my favorite bands, I love the idea that there might be a link between them and Pokemon.
