Michi (道)

“Michi” (道) is the second opening theme for SKET Dance, used during the series’ 2011 television run. It is performed by The Sketchbook, whose bright pop-rock sound fits the show’s lively school setting and ensemble comedy. The cue introduces the story with a direct, upbeat burst that matches the energy of Bossun, Himeko, and Switch as they respond to requests from the students of Kaimei High School.

Musically, the song leans on brisk guitars, steady drums, and a melody built for easy chant-like repetition, giving it a clear J-Pop opening feel. Its forward drive and optimistic tone support the series’ themes of friendship, problem-solving, and everyday perseverance, while the title’s sense of a path or road echoes the group’s role in helping others find their way through school-life troubles.
