Kawaita Sakebi

"Kawaita Sakebi" is a 1998 song by FIELD OF VIEW that served as the opening theme for Yu-Gi-Oh! (遊☆戯☆王), the 1998 television anime produced by Toei Animation and Gallop. Released on May 20, 1998 as the band's fourth single, it pairs lyrics by Yukiko Mori with music by Tetsurō Oda and arrangement by Akihito Tokunaga.

Musically, the track sits in late-1990s J-Pop with a band-driven sound, pushing forward on brisk drums and bright electric guitars. The verses keep a taut, restless momentum, while the chorus opens into a broader, more urgent hook. FIELD OF VIEW's vocal delivery stays clear and direct rather than theatrical.

That balance of tension and lift suits Yu-Gi-Oh!'s mix of inner conflict, rivalry, and sudden danger around Yuugi Mutou's awakened alter ego. After its single release, the song reappeared on the studio album FIELD OF VIEW III 〜NOW HERE NO WHERE〜 in September 1998 and later on the compilation SINGLES COLLECTION+4.
