[Kira]

I just see the announcement in 313 raw, posted by spacecat...

OP8: CHU-BURA by Kelun

http://www.kelun.jp/

Dunno about the END ^^"

[voidox]

yays, new opening >_>

hmm, not bad ~ i am liking the song

[Matoucs]

wow i like the song !!! cant wait !!

[Soranushi]

Wow if this is the opening its tops After dark and equals Alones for me hopefully the fillers live up to this awesome song.

[phantomfork]

Cool, lookin' forward to it! :D

[tari101190]

it's 'ite i guess...

not as good as the crrent one.

but anything is still better than alones (opening 6), that was horrible.

[hemagoku]

i liked alones

[v1nx]

OP8: CHU-BURA by Kelun
but the one on their site is SIXTEEN GIRL, no? am I that stupid?

[Revan1990]

at least it'S written there

lol I think the old one (#7) was better...but it is still good...

[rvngu]

sounds good. that's for the fillers arc?

[moonflowers]

v1nx, you're right - the streaming music on the site is "Sixteen Girl," not the OP. I don't think Chu-Bura's been released yet - at least I can't find it out on YouTube. :)

Their ED for Gintama was pretty good, so I'm happy about this.

[Melodymix]

Oh yeah! Go Kelun! They also did Gintama's ending :D

[Grey1x]

at least it'S written there

lol I think the old one (#7) was better...but it is still good...

I ALLWAYS think that new openings SUCK compared to the previous ones, but after watching them like 3 times I get to love 'em lol

[Shdo]

when will it take over?
dosnt sound like a fighting op...not fitting for HM arc so i guess it will take time, btw when the filler arc will start?

[KurosakiNaruto]

I was just thinking "It's time for a new opening". Has it really been 20 episodes? Time sure flies. Anyway the song is fantastic, first enjoyable opening song since "Uverworld". Love it!

[Velius]

See, I was one of the ones that thought uverworld really didn't fit as Bleach opening, even though it was a good song, with great animation. Just didn't seem to fit with the series. I'm gettin that kind of vibe from the song on the website. But I will wait till it actually airs before labeling it as win or not.

[furato]

I like Kelun when they did Gintama ending!

(Though it might have been influenced by the ED video featuring all the guys topless. Hmm, topless Bleach cast...)

[ruukii]

OMG!!!!! I love Kelun!!!! XDDDDDDDDDDDD after they made Gintama's ED song, "SIGNAL" <33333333~

[AnimeGirlPan]

yay nice
good to have a new opening

[vaizado]

I hope thats not the OP song. I dont like it.

[GreenBlack]

Like was said, Sixteen girl is what plays. I want to hear the opening. It'll probably be this week or next anyway. I hope this week, because I WANT ME SOME OPENING. I love After Dark, but I want something else for now. xD Maybe we'll be lucky and get an opening that, like Ichirin No Hana, plays into the Filler for a bit, but is related to the canon.

[Alphonse]

O.o Already? And a bad song at that? Crap! This song...well...is not good in my opinion. Eh, damn.

[Melodymix]

I like Kelun when they did Gintama ending!

(Though it might have been influenced by the ED video featuring all the guys topless. Hmm, topless Bleach cast...)

Oh yeah man! Topless Bleach casts XD XD XD

Here's the Gintama ending if any of you are interested to hear more of their song

[ForteAnly]

They are probably having it for the filler arc with the new captain and lame vice-captain.

[Weils]

Thanks for the news! Kelun's not bad actually, just finished hearing Gintama's ED "Signal" sung by them and it has that upbeat feeling. We will never know cos they might give Bleach it's own kind of style.

Btw on the band's official website it stated that the new OP "CHU-BURA" will air on Bleach April 23rd instead of the beginning of the month like other animes do.

Since there is a 2 week break until April 9th, the new OP and ED themes should start on ep. 168.

[Air]

It'll be better for this opening to be based onto Ichi and GJ,
and not some filler's cr@p.. :yell

[vaizado]

Ah, alrighty then. Hopefully the actual OP song is good then.

[EX|pada #0]

Hope it will not be a... I don't know a correct word, so I'll say "gay(I'm sorry for this, but I really forgot a good word to use here)" song like Alones.

[Lax_Duke]

This will be intresting since I can't quite imagine their style fitting Bleach.
Hope it'll be good with lots of Shinigami and Espada in it

[H!Mandy]

aww, I'll miss this opening...I always get this feeling xD

but usually I like the new openings too.
Alones was one of my least favorite songs (I didn't like the voice too much)
but the rythym was catchy at some points and I liked the animation *-*

ok, so the song playing on the site is not the op? I liked it...and I liked the Gintama one too, so it must be good ^^

won't keep my expectations too high though, seeing a filler arc is on the way..

ep 168 you say? =D
:p

[AnimeGirlPan]

hope it will be good
so far ive loved every bleach opening

[EX|pada #0]

Hey, the one playing at the site is not the CHU-BURA, is the SIXTEEN GIRL. Anyway, I want to hear the new opening song FAST AS POSSIBLE >.>

[JebbaChan]

I can't wait to hear it. I really liked the Gintama ed they did!

[Weils]

Though the new OP theme will only debut on ep 168 April 23rd, there will be a broadcast on Japanese radio station for CHU-BURA on April 5th, according to KELUN's official website. I'm sure someone will upload this.

[dramaelfie]

I'm sad "After Dark" is ending, though, it's my favorite opening. Loved it the second I saw it, and within less than an hour, I had the song on my iPod. I have to say that with BLEACH, there's never been an opening that I couldn't stand to watch, so I'm hoping this one measures up its predecessors.

[kitty868theonly]

Well..... I will just have to wait and see to see if the song is good or not... The voices sound 'meh', but I'll it a chance when I see the opening. :D

[sukihinata]

i glad they have new opening theme, and i can't wait to see.

[Nidaime]

For your information xD.

The kelum Web site has been updated with a small piece of the new opening song. It sounds great for me xD.

Waiting for this saturday to hear the full version.

[Soranushi]

Thanks for telling us Nidaime and the song is pretty good and since we know what the fillers are about I think it should match the season very well.

[Maianarisa]

Thanks Nidaime! Just finished listening to it, and it doesn't sound bad at all, though I will miss After Dark. :(

[GreenBlack]

I'm liking Chu-Bara, not too bad. :D It's definitely not the worst we've had, it's pretty nifty!

[Frank918]

Does anyone know if the new OP will for sure debut on episode 168?

Just curious. Thanks everyone.

[Soranushi]

If you go to the website in the first post it says BLEACH 4/23 and Weils on page 3 said it aswell. So does that count as for sure if it doesn't I guess we have to wait.

[bradc]

Asian Kung-Fu Generation was good :|

But I already found KELUN Mini Album: Astral Lamp if anyone is interested...

[hemagoku]

link us .

[bradc]

Here is KELUN mini album: KELUN - Astral Lamp (http://www.mediafire.com/?fugzj09tzth)

One song called Rain Drop Street was one my favourite on there; I haven't listened to all the songs on there though. But I am sure of you already fans of their's want this album 8DDD

[AnimeGirlPan]

wow thanks man
im gonna surely download it
:)

[dramaelfie]

Ooooooh, I'm likin' it!!!! :D It sounds epic, now we just have to pray that it looks epic.

[FrostDragon]

not bad, I like it

[Rodrigocv]

A bit emocore, but is better than After Dark

The best op was Alone and Tonight Tonight Tonight(100% in English, easy xD)

[Matoucs]

i love it ! it's good to see everyone Happy again, Bleach have been so serious and sad lately, specialy further in the Hueco Mundo arc for manga readers..

[Shdo]

renji fight byakuya again... time to change your VC. seems broken.

[Maianarisa]

Hmm, does anyone have a mp3 rip for the new opening? Really like the song once I got into it.

Shdo: I don't think he can get rid of Renji without making Rukia and everyone else go against him. XD

[neverwinter]

I liked the opening and ending. A happy go lucky smiley cheesy popathonic song! Cheered me up which has to be a good thing :)

[vaizado]

I dislike the new OP. I demand After Dark back! :rawr

[moonflowers]

@ Maianarisa: Wondered the same thing, but I couldn't find one so I just ripped it myself.

Chu-Bura, ripped from Ep 168: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=TLV16VOV

[Fortunate]

I really like the new song and Opening. :) 2 Thumbs Up.

[Miss Lolita]

It's a well-placed break after OP 7. I like the Bleach at the beach idea. ^^

[Velius]

Thanks for the rip moonflowers! Good stuff. I think I like both songs. The ending is more of my type of music, but the opening is also good.
