I-DLE is stepping into a new chapter in Japan where music and animation culture intersect. The group has been selected to perform the opening theme for popular Japanese anime series “Beyblade X” Season 3, marking an impactful moment in their expanding global presence.
Anime Soundtrack
The popular TV anime “Beyblade X” Season 3 aired its 101st episode on six Tokyo based networks on the 24th. This episode saw the debut of I-dle’s “Invincible” as the opening theme song. The song is I-dle’s first EP in five years.
The group’s track “Invincible” made its first broadcast debut during Episode 101 of the series which aired across Japan’s major Tokyo affiliated networks on October 24. The song surges with intensity, pairing sharp rhythmic drive and power vocal delivery to match the anime’s competitive, adrenaline charged world. As characters launch into battle on screen, the track heightens tension and amplifies the emotional stakes a soundtrack not just for conflict, but for the determination to rise again.
“Invincible” is featured on the group’s latest Japanese EP i-dle, their first local release following a major brand reintroduction. The track embodies I-DLE’s signature storytelling approach: confident, expressive, and unafraid to confront emotional extremes.
A Legacy Franchise
“Beyblade” first aired in 1999 and quickly rose from animation to global cultural staple. Beyblade X commemorates the franchise’s 25th anniversary, and I-DLE’s involvement signals the series’ continued relevance and evolution — blending legacy fandom with contemporary pop artistry.
Rising Momentum in Japan
This release arrives in tandem with I-DLE’s active expansion in Japan. Their new EP reached No.1 on the Oricon Daily Album Chart immediately upon release, later returning to the top spot in multiple consecutive runs. The group also recently completed their first Japanese arena tour, “Ai-dle (逢い-dle),” strengthening their connection with local fans through live stages and direct audience engagement.
