As part of its ongoing 20th-anniversary milestones, the Katekyo Hitman REBORN! anime production has officially unveiled the creditless version of its inaugural opening sequence. Featuring SPLAY’s memorable track “Drawing days,” the footage brings back the nostalgia for episodes 1 through 26 of the classic Shonen adaptation.
“Drawing days” was originally written and composed by Takaaki Mukai, with arrangement and performance credits belonging to SPLAY. While these pristine creditless sequences were previously locked behind physical home video releases, they are now making their debut online as part of a grand digital rollout.
This drop marks the official commencement of “REBORN! MUSIC MONTH,” an expansive September-long celebration dedicated to the franchise's musical heritage. Alongside a newly curated 25-song streaming playlist featuring classic openings and endings, the official YouTube channel is rolling out historic theme song sequences daily.
Originally serialized in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump by Akira Amano from 2004 to 2012 across 42 collected volumes, the mafia comedy phenomenon received a 203-episode TV anime adaptation produced by Studio Artland between 2006 and 2010. Fans can revisit Tsuna's chaotic journey from timid student to reluctant Vongola boss via Crunchyroll.
