TEMPEST Embarks on a New Journey with ‘My Way’ for Japanese Anime

TEMPEST Makes a Mark in Japan with ‘My Way’

K-pop group TEMPEST is ready to make waves in the Japanese entertainment industry once again. On July 12th, their agency announced that the group’s new digital single ‘My Way‘ has been chosen as the opening theme for the Japanese TV anime series ‘The Underdog Fighter.’ This marks yet another significant milestone for the group as they continue to expand their reach in Japan.

Capturing the Spirit of ‘The Underdog Fighter’

‘My Way‘ draws inspiration from the dynamic story and the life of the protagonist in ‘The Underdog Fighter,’ focusing on the importance of believing in oneself. The powerful rock sound, highlighted by energetic guitar riffs, delivers a compelling message of self-confidence and resilience. TEMPEST’s collaboration with the anime resonates strongly with both the show’s narrative and its themes.

A Growing Presence in Japan

TEMPEST first gained attention in Japan back in January of the previous year with their successful pre-debut through Fuji TV’s anime ‘Runaway Great Mission,’ where they performed the ending theme ‘Baddest Behavior.’ Following this, they released their debut mini-album ‘BANG!‘ and a second mini-album ‘BUBBLE GUM,’ both of which were well-received by Japanese fans, helping them swiftly carve a niche in the competitive Japanese music market.

ANTICIPATING ‘My Way’ Release

The anime ‘The Underdog Fighter‘ is scheduled to start airing on Tokyo MX and various other networks starting July 6th, coinciding with the early release of the TV version of ‘My Way.’ The full version of the song will be officially released on July 23rd. This ongoing collaboration further cements TEMPEST’s influence in Japan’s music scene.

Engaging with Fans

To celebrate the release of ‘My Way,’ TEMPEST is hosting showcases on July 24th in Osaka at Zepp Namba and on July 26th in Tokyo at Zepp Haneda. The group promises to engage directly with their local fans and present dynamic performances, showcasing a deeper musical color with their new single. Fans eagerly await these showcases as TEMPEST’s music continues to evolve and resonate on an international level.
