The anime adaptation of BLEACH has recently unveiled a unique music video, marking the 20th anniversary of the series and the reunion of Aqua Timez.

BLEACH, crafted by Tite Kubo, chronicles the tale of Ichigo Kurosaki, a teenager who unwittingly transforms into a Soul Reaper, responsible for safeguarding our world from harmful spirits referred to as Hollows. Since its manga launch in 2001 and anime debut in 2004, this series has earned recognition as one of the most memorable titles within the shonen genre.

Originally ending in 2012, fans of the anime had been eagerly awaiting the adaptation of its remaining storyline. This desire was finally met in 2022 with the debut of “BLEACH: Thousand-Year Blood War (TYBW)”. Now, after the conclusion of its third part, “The Conflict”, in December 2024, everyone is looking forward to the upcoming fourth and last season, titled “The Calamity”.

A Reunion Fueled by Nostalgia and Celebration

The Japanese band Aqua Timez carries a significant emotional connection for fans of the anime BLEACH. They are renowned for memorable songs such as “ALONES,” which was the 6th opening theme, and “Sen no Yoru wo Koete,” which featured in the movie BLEACH: Memories of Nobody. The music of Aqua Timez has played a consistent role in preserving the series’ rich history.

After parting ways in 2018, Aqua Timez members delighted fans by revealing their reunion in 2024. Remarkably, this return to action aligns with BLEACH’s 20th anniversary that year, adding a profound significance to the release of “OLDROSE”.
