While we’re all currently in Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury fever, THE FIRST TAKE YouTube channel has decided to look back at the previous Gundam series, Mobile Suit GUNDAM Iron Blooded Orphans, by hosting MAN WITH A MISSION, who perform the hit opening theme “Raise your flag.”
THE FIRST TAKE is a Sony Music Entertainment Japan initiative that, as the name implies, has singers perform their hit songs in just one take in a minimally-styled studio which has the performer sing in, as the video description says “ONE TAKE ONLY, ONE LIFE ONLY.”
Mobile Suit GUNDAM Iron Blooded Orphans aired between October 4, 2015 and April 2, 2017, and is streaming on Crunchyroll, which describes the series as such:
The Earth Sphere had lost its previous governing structure, and a new world was created under new systems of government. While a temporary peace had arrived, the seeds of a new conflict were being sown in the Mars Sphere, far away from Earth.
