CHANGE THE WORLD

"CHANGE THE WORLD" is the first opening theme from the InuYasha anime, performed by the Japanese boy band. The group also did the ending theme "Brand-New World".

Description
The opening begins with a shot atop a mountain -- where Kagome, Inuyasha, Miroku, and Sango are gazing over -- before cutting to a short clip of Kagome's wonderstruck expression as she turns her head to face the group. Next, it cuts to the wellhouse at the Higurashi shrine where Kagome dashes into the opening of the Bone-Eater's Well, revealing the new, Feudal era world as Kagome glides in from the sky. The InuYasha logo is shown here.

A brief, flash montage shows a farmer's cow, rapidly growing vines, and birds splashing in a water puddle before cutting to a scene of Inuyasha fighting Sesshōmaru. After this scene, a pedestal shot is shown of Sango, Miroku, and Shippō, as he transforms out of his bubble form. It cuts to the three combating a hoard of demons, where Miroku uses his Kazaana, and Sango uses the Hiraikotsu.

As the more mellow part of CHANGE THE WORLD begins playing, Inuyasha and Kagome are shown standing in front of the Sacred Tree. As Kagome vanishes as the scene turns to a dark purple hue, Inuyasha worriedly turns around to look for her before Kikyō fades into the scene, behind Inuyasha. A shocked Inuyasha turns to face Kikyō, and he attempts to embrace her, but she disappears just before Inuyasha can reach her. After Kikyō disappears, a Sacred Arrow pierces Inuyasha in the chest, alluding to the opening scene in the first episode.

During the chorus of the song, Inuyasha stands on the edge of a cliff in the wind while a large flock of birds fly by him. He walks through a forest of sakura trees as the blossoms' pedals fall. When Inuyasha reaches a sandy beach, he turns around and looks up to see Kirara flying towards him with the rest of the group perched on the nekomata's back. When Kagome reaches her hand towards Inuyasha as Kirara flies past him, he grabs onto her hand as Kirara lifts Inuyasha into the air along with the group. Inuyasha gazes up at the party in wonder for a few moments before showing a relieved smile, as Kirara pulls everyone up into the air.

Lyrics
English= "Change the World"

I want to change the world, Pierce through the winds, I'm not afraid of anything, now with the courage and fragments of the smile I hold.

Change my mind, Without losing my passion, If I reach out my hand to the beating future, I'm sure to shine, It's wonderland.

Beyond the grey skies, Something was left behind, You wandered about, And kept on searching about.

Your heart trembled, The morning of a night you couldn't see. Unable to believe anything, With covered ears...

When I met you, I'd found where I truly belong, With the casual kindness That's here, We awaken.

I want to change the world I won't lose my way again, With you, if we could shape the future, We can fly anywhere.

Change my mind Without losing my passion I spread my wings to an unknown new day, I'm sure they will unfurl, It's wonderland

We continue to swim in The same world, Until the day we reach each others' dreams. We all carry around the same uneasiness, And we hold each other up. The moment we stop, we'll be At the place we've looked for.

I want to change the world Without letting go of my hand, Accept that I am watching over you, And I'm sure you can do anything.

Change my mind, I won't let you do this alone, We're all here. We'll break through whatever is there, It's wonderland.

I want to change the world, Pierce through the winds, I'm not afraid of anything, now with the courage and fragments of the smile I hold.

Change my mind, Without losing my passion, If I reach out my hand to the beating future, I'm sure to shine, It's wonderland.
