"Kamen/Mirai Kōkai" is Tackey & Tsubasa's fifth single under the Avex Trax label.
Overview The first a-side song "Kamen" was used as the theme song for the Japanese version of the movie Mask 2. The other a-side song "Mirai Kōkai" was used as the ending theme song for the anime One Piece.
Sample of Kamen's translated lyrics: I'll be a flower of the summer flames Putting on a golden, golden mask Taking in the sun straightforwardly With dazzling eyes, dazzling eyes, and passion that stabs the sky Someday, I'll be the sky So that I can bluely, bluely dissolve If I continue to believe in a new world, in my heart, in my heart The lies, sadness, and clouds will clear away
