Wild side

The song "Wild Side" is in the key of C minor. It was performed by the Japanese band ALI and released in 2019 as the opening theme for the anime *Beastars*. The band blends multiple genres, including funk, jazz, and hip-hop. The composer is Leo Imamura, also known as LEO, the band's lead vocalist. A trivia point is that the show's opening sequence, animated in stop-motion, gained international attention and contributed to the song’s popularity. The melody features a mix of brass, bass guitar, rhythmic drums, and rap-style vocals with transitions into melodic choruses, reflecting a fusion of Western and Japanese musical influences.
