GRe4N BOYZ just teamed up with &TEAM for OTAKEBI, a high-octane single that dropped today, December 22, via Universal Music Japan, and it’s the official theme song for the 2025-26 B.LEAGUE season that’s already pumping adrenaline straight into your playlist.
This collab is pure fire for anyone who loves that motivational rush—think explosive J-pop energy with &TEAM’s sharp, youthful flows blending seamlessly into GRe4N BOYZ’s uplifting vocal layers over a beat that builds like a comeback in overtime. “Otakebi” literally means war cry, and the lyrics deliver exactly that: countdowns to action, breaking cages, shaking the earth, and refusing to back down no matter the odds. Lines about rising currents, grabbing the sky, and fangs biting into the world scream perseverance and team spirit, perfect for basketball courts or any grind you’re facing. It’s got that anthemic hook—”Otakebi o ageru toki ga kita zo”—that hits like a stadium chant, mixing resistance as the root of success with straight-up freedom vibes. No deep features beyond the core collab, just raw power pushing you to roar louder.
The release hit at 9 PM JST with the MV dropping on YouTube same time—&TEAM members suit up as ballers in it, tying right into their role as the league’s 10th anniversary ambassadors. GRe4N BOYZ announced it yesterday alongside details for their second album under the new name, “Ah, Domo. Mata Oai Shimashita ne. Ah,,”, coming February 25, 2026, which includes a solo “OTAKEBI GRe4N BOYZ ver.” alongside tracks like their One Piece opener “Tenshi to Akuma.” Stream the single everywhere now; it’s standalone for the feat. version, easy to loop.
GRe4N BOYZ—the iconic crew formerly known as GReeeeN, those anonymous dentist-rockers who’ve been dropping hope anthems forever—are in full revival mode post-rebrand, stacking anime ties and sports collabs. Linking with &TEAM, HYBE’s multinational nine-member squad who’s been crushing charts and stages all 2025, feels like a perfect cross-generational spark: veterans passing the torch to the next wave hungry for the win.

Lyrics of OTAKEBI by GRe4N BOYZ & &TEAM
Oh
No.1 迎え撃て 全身込めて
No.2 その檻をぶち壊せ
No.3, 4 聞かす 響かす 宣言
No.5 All 嵐巻き起こせ Let’s Go
どうした？限界はなく 1000回放つ その3秒前
叫んだ どんな難題も それが万回でも 沸く細胞
