Yowamushi na Honoo (弱虫な炎)

"Yowamushi na Honoo (弱虫な炎)" is a song by MAGIC OF LiFE used as the second opening theme for the 2013 anime Yowamushi Pedal (弱虫ペダル). Released in 2013, it accompanies the cycling series produced by TMS Entertainment and stays within a clear J-Pop frame.

The track moves with a quick, forward-driving pulse, pairing bright band energy with a vocal line that presses toward the chorus instead of settling into a slower mood. Its tempo creates a strong sense of motion, and the refrain keeps the emotional tone earnest rather than aggressive.

That balance suits Yowamushi Pedal closely. The series follows riders shaped by training, teamwork, steep climbs, and race pressure, and the song’s momentum mirrors that steady push ahead. As OP 2, it helps define the anime’s competitive atmosphere while keeping the focus on youthful determination and forward movement.
