Fullmetal Alchemist- Ready Steady Go (HQ)

This was the back in the day and it still kicks ass in 2021

READY STEADY CAN'T HOLD ME BACK
READY STEADY GIVE ME GOOD LUCK
READY STEADY NEVER LOOK BACK
LET'S GET STARTED READY STEADY GO

吹き飛んでゆく風景　転がるように前へ
苦し紛れでも　標的はもう見逃さない

あてにならない地図　焼いてしまえば良いさ
埋もれた真実　この掌でつかみ取ろう

夢中で-早く-駆け抜けて来た
うるさいくらいに張り裂けそうな鼓動の高鳴り
響いて-呼んで-いる君の声
ここで立ち止まるような時間は無いさ　READY STEADY GO

数えきれない傷　抱え込んでいても
ちょっとやそっとじゃ　魂までは奪わせない

あの丘の向こうで　君に出逢えたなら
何から話そう　そんな事ばかり思うよ

夢中で-早く-駆け抜けて来た
うるさいくらいに張り裂けそうな鼓動の高鳴り
響いて-呼んで-いる君の声
ここで立ち止まるような時間は無いさ　READY STEADY GO

READY STEADY CAN'T HOLD ME BACK
READY STEADY GIVE ME GOOD LUCK
READY STEADY NEVER LOOK BACK
LET'S GET STARTED READY STEADY GO

心は-走る-あの空の下
空回りする気持ちが叫び出すのを止められない
君まで-届け-きっと後少し
熱く日差しが照らすこの道の向こうREADY STEADY GO
PLEASE. TRUST ME.

How can this song still give me goosebumps when it's been almost 20 years since I first heard it. Yah, I'm old AF.

[clxvdsxvl]

I can’t even begin to explain how happy this song makes me

[leigh]

My mother of all people got me into FMA because this song was an opening for the anime. (She’s a fan of L’Arc-en~Ciel.)
This is our favorite anime because of that.

[CodinskiSchwartzando]

Wow, I haven’t listened to this song in like a decade, but I just heard someone say the words “Ready Steady” together and I IMMEDIATELY heard this in my head.

[terrencehollins]

Early Sunday morning between 1AM-3AM on the Adult Swim anime block back in the mid to late ‘00’s. Miss those days.

if the beginning doesnt get you hyped af dont talk to me

[JayIMcgallion]

FUN FACT: I loved watch the Japanese cultural channel, as a kid. Id watch the music segments, and thats how I heard this song. I loved it so much, then heard it on FMA, which made me fall in love with the show even more. Something about Japanese music that just resonates with me.

[kylebrofloski]

Watched both anime on Netflix and read the manga. Never regretted it.

[evandupell]

Here in 2025 and still think of this song since I heard it back in the early 00’s.

[shintuxedo]

this song makes me want to run to the beat, then almost trip, but keep running!

It’s still my favorite opening for any of the FMA or Brotherhood.
Just vibes positivity and hope

Happy 15th anniversary Fullmetal Alchemist (2003)!

[よよ-tf]

まさかこの曲からハガレン読み始めるとは思ってもなかった
まじで疾走感えぐくて大好き

[animeking]

I started watching the 2003 series the other night. I never finished the series years back so I restarted it and this time I'm gonna finish it. The first op Melissa is pretty great too but when I started episode 13 and this started playing I was all,

"Oh shit hell yeah we're getting this song already!" While I never finished the series years ago this song has occasionally popped into my head from time to time. Probably one of my favorite anime songs.

[gigems]

i have been waiting for an og version with great sound quality!!!!

[MireilleAntone]

As a metalhead in my late 20s, I'm now realizing that the anime I used to watch when I was in grade school may have had an influence on my music taste...
