If you grew up watching a certain baby hitman terrorise a hapless middle-schooler, September 2026 is a month worth bookmarking. The TV anime Katekyo Hitman Reborn! is turning 20 this October, and to mark the occasion the official team has kicked off REBORN! MUSIC MONTH — a September-long celebration putting the show’s beloved soundtrack in front of fans worldwide, for free, for the first time ever.
What Is REBORN! MUSIC MONTH?
REBORN! MUSIC MONTH is the seventh project announced as part of the anime’s 20th anniversary year. Starting September 1, an official playlist of 25 songs — including all the opening and ending theme songs from the series’ 203-episode run — landed on major music subscription services. From September 2, the official YouTube channel (@khreborn_anime) has been uploading one creditless theme song video every single day.
That last part is the real story for long-time fans. The creditless sequences were previously available only through physical home video releases in Japan — the kind of Blu-ray box sets that cost a small fortune even before import fees. For fans who watched the show through streaming or TV broadcasts, these clean versions have been locked away for nearly two decades. Now they are free to watch on YouTube, and one new video drops daily throughout the month.
The Music That Defined a Generation
The first creditless opening released on September 2 was Drawing days by SPLAY, which served as the show’s opening from Episodes 1 to 26. For anyone who watched the show weekly during its 2006–2010 run, hearing those opening notes again is an immediate nostalgia hit. The campaign has since moved through subsequent openings and endings — BOYS & GIRLS by LM.C, Michishirube by Keita Tachibana, ONE NIGHT STAR by The ARROWS — covering the full breadth of the show’s distinctive J-rock and J-pop soundtrack.
The 25-song official playlist on streaming services (accessible through lnk.to/khreborn-anime) covers opening and ending themes from across the entire series. Both the playlist and the YouTube videos are accessible in Singapore and across Southeast Asia with no region restriction.
Mark Your Calendar: September 27 Character Song Listening Party
The final event of REBORN! MUSIC MONTH is a character song listening party on September 27 via YouTube Premiere. The session will feature music from the Official Character Song Complete Collection Ultimate CD Box (Discs 1–6) — a deep cut for fans who know every character’s image song by heart.
For those who want to catch up before then, the daily creditless video uploads are still running through the rest of September, so there is plenty of time to revisit every opening and ending before the listening party wraps up the month. Head over to the official YouTube channel and turn on notifications — a new video lands every day. For more anime anniversary celebrations, keep an eye on GameTrader.SG through the rest of the season.
