Recommended Song: Kotoba no Iranai Yakusoku
This song popped up while I was listening to a YouTube recommendation compilation by chance. I really liked it back when I was watching Naruto Shippuden, and I used to play it on repeat. But since the version I found was a Naruto MV, I only just realized today that this song is actually by HoneyWorks. Even now, listening to it, all I can picture is the first Hokage and his best buddy from Naruto🤣 Side note: Do you guys feel like if you've seen the anime first, your impression of the song gets fixed, and it's hard to get into the original MV? Conversely, if someone got into the anime because of the original MV, would they find the OP&ED unfamiliar?

This song is a true classic, the visuals from the Naruto ED were so impactful! I totally get that feeling of preconception, if you saw the anime version first it's really hard to detach from that atmosphere~ Lista, when you look back at the original HoneyWorks MV now, do you feel a subtle sense of freshness?

I've only seen the HW version here! I loved HW so much back then 😍 It shouldn't be too hard to get used to this one, since this song was originally written for Naruto and I know there's (sort of) a dual version~

Not at all, actually watching the MV made me remember them more.
