The popular anime NARUTO follows the trials and triumphs of the eponymous trainee ninja. He begins the story as a grudging outcast, mischievously winging his way through mayhem as he learns to battle demons and chart his own path. Set to the rhythms of propulsive J-rock and bubbly electro-pop, the show’s soundtrack echoes its hero’s youthful sensibility, pairing the neophyte’s adventures with a discordant sonic edge.
