Theme Song
Did you know that Tournament Arc has a custom theme song called "Blinding Star"?
We commissioned a band called Tournament Arc (unrelated, funny enough) to create an English vocal, Japanese vocal, and instrumental version of the song!
"Blinding Star" was performed on the main stage at MAGFEST 2026 in Casey Lee Williams's concert (starts at 42:26 in the video below)!
We used the instrumental version of "Blinding Star" in our Kickstarter trailer, animated by Jellybox!
