How "Closer" (OP4) was chosen for Naruto

[Cfighter]

So I was just browsing YouTube and somehow just now stumbled upon this and thought I should share it with y'all.

I don't know why I just now found this, but I guess this is the artist who did the opening Closer talking about how his song got selected for Naruto Shippuden—maybe you guys already have seen this, maybe not. What really threw me for a loop though was how not only how naturally he speaks English but also how apparently he lives in CA. So Ayy Lmao to that

That's pretty cool, people typically don't think about the voice behind the OP

Yea I saw this on YouTube acouple days ago. Pretty interesting that they held a contest. I always thought they just hired a band to do it
