Favorite Openings

I know a lot of Naruto fans don't like the intro and outro music.  I love them!  Even though I don't know what they are saying, the sounds are great.  Although some are more emotional then others and thats what makes a song great.  The animation can be exceptional too.

5. Distance- Naruto Shippuden 2
I loved the animation and I wish the song was longer.  Still it powerfully displays the importance of friendship.
  
4.  Closer- Naruto Shippuden 4
This was nice and reminds me of Shikamaru for some reason. It kind of feels like his journey though his ninja carreer. I also like the fights between Hidan and Kakazu in this arc, so the song reminds me of them too.

3.  Figthing dreamers- Naruto 4
A classic that everyone loved. This got Flow to be in so many more Naruto openings. It was fun and light, with a funny animation.

2.   Sign- Naruto Shippuden 6
Reminds me of the bonds fought over in the series.  I can see Orochimaru figthing Jiraya, Naruto vs. Sasuke, and more.  It's powerful especially at high volume.

1.  Driver- Naruto Shippuden 8
This song is really the whole reason I made this post.  It's the best and even made me cry once.  Only a little.  But the animation with the song is just as powerful as the music itself.  Naruto is struggling.  Drowning in the darkenss with his foes.  He flails as he sees Sasuke, unable to grab him.  Then he is supported by his friends and is able to escape the darkness.  He is now determined.  As Sasuke fades into the Darkness once again, Naruto goes right in after him.  It shows the main plot of Naruto through a metaphor and I just love that.
