ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION – Haruka Kanata / THE FIRST TAKE

THE FIRST TAKE is a YouTube Channel dedicated to filming musicians and singers performing in a single take.

In episode 451, ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION return to THE FIRST TAKE, 3 years since their previous appearance and a year after celebrating their 20th major label debut.
They will perform “Haruka Kanata,” their hit track from 2003 that served as the opening theme to the TV anime series “NARUTO” and inspired the entire audience to sing together in excited unison during the band’s headline shows in Mexico and Santiago.
The song was rerecorded as “Haruka Kanata (2024 ver.)” and is included in their June 31st release entitled Single Collection. Enjoy this extraordinary one-shot performance of the band’s signature song, exclusively on THE FIRST TAKE.
