Ranga, who has returned to Japan from Canada and has never skateboarded before, also gets wrapped up in S along with Reki. Dirty racers, AI racers, and other unique individuals compete in the "youth skateboard race battle."

COMMENT FROM THE THEME SONG ARTIST:
This is the first time I have been asked to be the opening theme of an anime.
I am very honored to be able to color the work with my music.
SK∞ SK-8" is set in my hometown, Okinawa. I hope that along with the story, the audience will be able to feel the scenery and atmosphere of the city of Okinawa that appears in the animation.
