As many of you are no doubt aware, the original opening for Subarashiki Kono Sekai The Animation 'Teenage City Riot' was pulled from the show a mere day or two before airing because the drummer of the band ALI was arrested in relation to a medical fraud scandal *From what ive heard*
As such the Opening Song was changed to 'Calling' from the original video game.
(Ive made a thread already on the situation with an archive of the first episodes opening combat sequence with Teenage City Riot playing over it. The archive thread is here https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1913556&onetime=24d0199bd28b255c977d9632e255310b09c2eeacffa68c7d1bf5c954ba9286d3

Im excited today to provide a link to the FULL version of Teenage City Riot. It is unlikely the track will be officially released ever so the fact this is even been found is amazing. I have no idea where the poster found the file, whether it was leaked or whatever. BUT this does include a download for the song for your playlists, no SFX, no dialogue. THE FULL OPENING

Of course it will remain here for preservation sake.
From what I can gather the full version was ripped from a Radio Edit in Japan. We got lucky on this one guys xD

Awh shit just as Ali were getting big. Hopefully they’ll get to do another op/ed soon and that this scandal doesn’t bring them down as a whole.

As much as I love Calling and want Twister to show up, it really does suck that Teenage City Riot got dumped and probably will never get any kind of official release. I just finished listening to the whole song and it is great. Hope ALI gets more work in the future, nice band.

...why do I have a feeling that this "fraud scandal" is just a cover up for a drug use charge or something... does something like this REALLY get straight-up removed and replaced JUST because someone got arrested for that crime?
The closest I've seen to this happening to another anime is what happened to the Pikachu & Pichu short in Japan and that was for a different crime... hmm........

This is about as much as I can find about the situation.

I'm still disapointed in not hearing Teenage City Riot show up and not getting an official release. The song was really great and the fans should not have to pay the consequences for someones own actions at all because of this.

Good job recovering though.

Check my other thread I linked. It contains the version of episode 1 that played at the early ShibuyaFES screening that had Teenage City Riot play instead of Calling.

Ahh that can quite quickly be edited back together. If I see one floating around after episode 2 airs then i'll link it in here.

I've heard of Japanese celebrities being arrested for drugs in the past. It doesn't really seem like something that would be covered up.
I especially feel sorry for the innocent members, but even the drummer should be properly compensated for a song he already recorded. Such a catchy song, too. Isn't this what contracts are for?

It's not that strange that Japanese media deletes everything related to a celebrity scandal. There's this game called Judgment, in which one actor was arrested for drug possession so the developers changed his character's face.

I think you slightly misunderstood my post. I'm not necessarily surprised that stuff got deleted as I already brought up Pokémon there. What I am surprised by is that the charge wasn't a drug-related charge, since that's what happened with the aforementioned Pikachu short. Sometimes I wonder if this situation actually was one and they're just saying something else in public just so nothing happens.
Sorry for weirdly wording things.

Kind of ironic that one of the lyrics in the song is "Don't waste your life," from what I can hear.

The new opening is now out, here is someones edit with Teenage City Riot over it. Tbh. I dont mind Twister over it. But TCR definitely worked better in the episode 1 opening battle

This song doesn't do much for me, so not a big deal to me honestly. Doesn't really mesh with the series' soundtrack a whole lot.

I tried to do a better fit of the song for the op based on how it was in the Underground event. Here's the result

I like Twister a lot, but ALI's song fits the OP a lot better

Oh you have no idea, the game Judgment (made by the same studio behind the Yakuza series) bases it's character models after the people voicing them, and this one actor was caught with heroin so they changed his face in the whole game. They went through the entire game and changed the man's 3D model just because of this, like that's A LOT of work.

They really, REALLY don't want their official products to be associated with people going through scandals, and bouncing back from a scandal seems pretty impossible in Japan.

Ah I'm glad they're using Twister for the main OP instead of Calling. It's not bad, it's just that Twister is basically the most iconic song of the game.
