Review from PassCode Member Nao Minami
PassCode was given the honor of performing the opening theme song for As a Reincarnated Noble, I Will Use My Appraisal Skills to Rise in the World Part 2. The entire team involved in the production read the original novel before writing the song, and it was so interesting that we all read it immediately.
“SKILLAWAKE” is a typical fast-paced PassCode song, but it's actually sung from the perspective of a certain character in the story, so I hope you'll keep that in mind when watching the anime.
