Turns 20: Watch All Creditless OPs Free on YouTube in September"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>If you grew up watching a certain baby hitman terrorise a hapless middle-schooler, September 2026 is a month worth bookmarking. The TV anime <em>Katekyo Hitman Reborn!<\/em> is turning 20 this October, and to mark the occasion the official team has kicked off <strong>REBORN! MUSIC MONTH<\/strong> \u2014 a September-long celebration putting the show&#8217;s beloved soundtrack in front of fans worldwide, for free, for the first time ever.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/reborn-chibi-character-screenshot.png?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Chibi Reborn character from the anime opening sequence\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><figcaption>Image courtesy of Katekyo Hitman Reborn! The Animation<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>What Is REBORN! MUSIC MONTH?<\/h2>\n<p>REBORN! MUSIC MONTH is the seventh project announced as part of the anime&#8217;s 20th anniversary year. Starting September 1, an official playlist of 25 songs \u2014 including all the opening and ending theme songs from the series&#8217; 203-episode run \u2014 landed on major music subscription services. From September 2, the official YouTube channel (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@khreborn_anime\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@khreborn_anime<\/a>) has been uploading one creditless theme song video every single day.<\/p>\n<p>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 \u2014 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.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"gt-video\">\n<div style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Re0qhRVaX4k\" title=\"TV\u30a2\u30cb\u30e1\u300e\u5bb6\u5ead\u6559\u5e2b\u30d2\u30c3\u30c8\u30de\u30f3REBORN!\u300f20th ANNIVERSARY PV\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;border:0;\" allow=\"accelerometer;clipboard-write;encrypted-media;gyroscope;picture-in-picture;web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><figcaption>TV\u30a2\u30cb\u30e1\u300e\u5bb6\u5ead\u6559\u5e2b\u30d2\u30c3\u30c8\u30de\u30f3REBORN!\u300f20th ANNIVERSARY PV \u2014 via \u300e\u5bb6\u5ead\u6559\u5e2b\u30d2\u30c3\u30c8\u30de\u30f3REBORN!\u300f\u30a2\u30cb\u30e1\u516c\u5f0f on YouTube<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>The Music That Defined a Generation<\/h2>\n<p>The first creditless opening released on September 2 was <em>Drawing days<\/em> by SPLAY, which served as the show&#8217;s opening from Episodes 1 to 26. For anyone who watched the show weekly during its 2006\u20132010 run, hearing those opening notes again is an immediate nostalgia hit. The campaign has since moved through subsequent openings and endings \u2014 <em>BOYS &amp; GIRLS<\/em> by LM.C, <em>Michishirube<\/em> by Keita Tachibana, <em>ONE NIGHT STAR<\/em> by The ARROWS \u2014 covering the full breadth of the show&#8217;s distinctive J-rock and J-pop soundtrack.<\/p>\n<p>The 25-song official playlist on streaming services (accessible through <a href=\"https:\/\/lnk.to\/khreborn-anime\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">lnk.to\/khreborn-anime<\/a>) 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.<\/p>\n<h2>Mark Your Calendar: September 27 Character Song Listening Party<\/h2>\n<p>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\u20136) \u2014 a deep cut for fans who know every character&#8217;s image song by heart.<\/p>\n<p>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.
