Here’s the Anime OP for modern strange cowboy,

Between both of the main songs, I prefer modern strange cowboy by a very large margin, mainly because of the wicked guitar solo in the later part of the song which sadly isn’t featured in the OP of Needless. サマーGT09 on the other hand sounds very mellow compared to modern strange cowboy and even tRANCE, which was the OP for Kurokami.

I’m liking GRANRODEO’s sound more and more each day. I was left amazed after I heard their song tRANCE which was featured in Kurokami and even more shocked when they produced such a powerful track such as modern strange cowboy. I know most people who like Pop Music will probably not like this song, but to me they’re all right. They have a new album out in October which I can’t wait to check out. I’m guessing my trip to Japan at the end of the year will probably be more of a humble CD hunt instead of my original intention of getting more figurines and such.

There is currently only 1 type of release for this single which is the Regular Edition priced at 1,200 yen. Pick up your copy at CDJapan today.
