Bandai Namco has revealed the suitably named 'Nostalgic Anime Song & Item Pack' for Naruto x Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections. The DLC contains five different tracks that were used as opening songs for the long, long running Naruto and Naruto Shippuden animes. And if you happened to watch the anime back in the day, then you're probably going to experience dangerous levels of nostalgia hearing this music again.
Here are the five included songs:
- “GO!!!” by FLOW
- “Haruka Kanata” by ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION
- “Blue Bird” by Ikimonogakari
- “Silhouette” by KANA-BOON
- “Kaze” by Yamazaru
GO!!! will likely be the most impactful of the bunch — it's the one that bangs on about being "fighting dreamers" — but Haruka Kanata was a memorable opening song as well. If you're an old school Naruto fan, battling it out with these bangers playing in the background is a difficult deal to resist.
Connections releases roughly one month from now, but will you be ninja running straight into this reconstructed and remastered brawler? Give us your best "fighting dreamers!" in the comments section below.

Blood circulator is the best Naruto opening.
Fight me.
There are great.
We can listen to their songs on Spotify, too.
We got Fighting Dreamers and Blue Bird I'm over the moon ^__^ just wish Sign by FLOW was here that's pretty much my holy trinity of Naruto Opening songs ^__^
Wasn't expecting this to floor me in the feels. Blue Bird and Jiraiya v Pain hit me hard. One of the hardest but best moments in the series.
@ShogunRok I'm still completely confused by what this 'game' is. Is it just another rebundle of the existing ones? Or does it have new story content? Or is it a new game?
@themightyant Honestly it's harder to explain than it should be. Basically, it's like they've taken all the characters from all the Storm games and slapped them into one big thing.
It's like a remastered collection... but it's one game with its own story mode structure alongside the other, usual game modes. It's also got new characters from Boruto.
Hopefully that helps, although I do think we'll need to try the game ourselves to get the full picture.
@ShogunRok Thanks. I did look first and was still confused so I thought i'd ask. Hope to find out more in the review.
@themightyant from the people that have played demo builds in various in-person events, at least gameplay wise, it's very similar to how the previous installment (Storm 4) plays. There's been a few changes in regards to mechanics but nothing too crazy.
This game will get boring fast. Not enough changes to the cast among other things.
Blue Bird is definitely the best along with Fighting Dreamers.
Actually rare to see anime songs used for anime games. They usually have to compose new songs instead of using ones from the anime probably, so this is a pleasent surprise.
Also, haruka kanata too? INSTANT BUY.
I am partial to Haruka Kanata
@SoulsBourne128 This was one of the things that REEEEEEEEALLY boosted Demon Slayer: Hinokami Chronicles' story mode they got the rights to use the music from the anime. Don't get me wrong the original OSTs that CC2 come up with for the Ultimate Ninja series are amazing but having the bangers from the actual show would always be nice 😅
While I love the idea of this, you can already do this regularly with Spotify on the PS5 unless they intentionally disable it. If you haven't already, if there's a game where you don't like the game music, are tired of it, or just want to feel cinematic for a while, mute the game music and make a Spotify Playlist with anime music.
Playing Ratchet and Clank on New Game+ with the game music muted and Silhouette playing while zooming around with the jet boots was such a vibe
This made me realize I have a lot of anime songs in my Spotify list man people look at me weird when I go from hova to go!!!
