Overview
Can Do is the 16th single by Japanese rock band GRANRODEO, released in 2012 and used as the first opening theme for the hit sports anime Kuroko's Basketball (黒子のバスケ). The band pairs vocalist and lyricist KISHOW, also a prolific voice actor known for roles in The iDOLM@STER and Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, with guitarist, composer, and arranger Masaaki Iizuka. The song's driving rock energy and 200 BPM tempo made it a natural fit for the rhythm-game circuit; it was added to maimai ORANGE PLUS on April 16, 2015, under the POPS&アニメ category, and remained playable until its removal from arcade rotations on December 14, 2017. In maimai, the Expert chart was designed by Jack and the Master chart by mai-Star, with the latter rated level 11+ (difficulty constant 11.6). Outside of maimai, Can Do has appeared in other music games such as Bandai Namco's Taiko no Tatsujin series, cementing its status as a staple anime-rock crossover track from the early 2010s.
