From Old Country Bumpkin to Master Swordsman ED ‘Alright!!!’ music video drops – FLOW kills it again
Japanese rock band FLOW has dropped the official music video for the From Old Country Bumpkin to Master Swordsman ED ‘Alright!!!‘
The anime’s ending theme song is an upbeat, fun track whose lyrics illustrate beautifully the way Beryl has moved out of his comfort zone in his small village, and taken on the responsibilities of his new job in the capital.
And especially when it comes to the girls Beryl has trained to become the best versions of themselves. Girls who are now giving back everything they learned to Beryl himself:
I look at the torn map
In this city alien to me, where I finally got to.
The fragment of that time that was passed on to me
Turned and turned, until now it came back to me.There is a smile that I want to protect.
The feelings that I have hidden inspire me.
The sun rises, and a new morning comes.
Its light spills into the corners of the world, where I cannot go.
Now is the time to move quickly forward, alright!!!
FLOW’s ‘Alright!!!’ music video features the five members of the band performing the song outside in the beautiful Japanese countryside.
‘Alright!!!‘ is FLOW’s 41st single (yep, they’ve been around since the band was founded way back in 1998, and are still incredibly popular).
The song’s physical copies officially release on May 28th, 2025, with the track dropping digitally on Spotify and other streaming services on April 6th.
Its physical release will feature three tracks — ‘Alright!!!’, a TV size of the song, and its instrumental.

And yep, they have killed it with this new one too!
