Japanese singer-songwriter Taiiku Okazaki released his latest 15th digital single song “Knock Out” today on April 8, and posted the song’s music video on his official YouTube channel. The CD single of the song will be available on May 24.

 

The energetic rock was newly-written as the opening theme for the spring 2023 TV anime MASHLE: MAGIC AND MUSCLES. It was written/composed by Okazaki himself, and DAIDAI, a guitarist of hardcore band Paledusk, worked on arrangement. Along with Okazaki, all members of Paledusk perform in the music video, which was filmed in a set inspired by a foreign TV show.

Synopsis:

 

This is a world of magic. This is a world in which magic is casually used by everyone. In a deep, dark forest in this world of magic, there is a boy who is singlemindedly working out. His name is Mash Burnedead, and he has a secret. He can’t use magic.

 

All he wanted was to live a quiet life with his family, but people suddenly start trying to kill him one day and he somehow finds himself enrolled in Magic School. There, he sets his sights on becoming a “Divine Visionary,” the elite of the elite. Will his ripped muscles work against the best and brightest of the wizarding world?

 

The curtain rises on this off-kilter magical fantasy in which the power of being jacked crushes any spell!
