But Masatoshi Ono’s connection to the anime world doesn’t end there. His impressive body of work also includes “Fight It Out!!,” the international opening theme for *Dragon Ball Kai*; “KNOCK ON YOUR GATE!,” the opening theme for *Cardfight!! Vanguard: Legion Mate*; and “Inori,” the closing theme for *Record of Ragnarok II*.

This success earned him the Best New Artist Award at the Japan Record Awards and a performance at the prestigious NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen.
Since 2009, Masatoshi Ono has also been the lead singer of GALNERYUS, one of the most internationally recognized Japanese power metal bands, further cementing his status as one of the most distinctive voices in Japanese rock and heavy metal.
