Hologram was released in 2009 by Japanese rock band Nico Touches the Walls and served as the second opening theme for Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, playing over episodes 15 to 26. Its anime sized version became inseparable from the series' second arc, when the story expands beyond Amestris and introduces new homunculi threats. Clips of the chorus spread through early AMV communities on video sharing sites and later on anime TikTok and YouTube edits, where the instantly recognisable hook still signals a classic shonen opening to fans worldwide today.
About this sound
Hologram by Nico Touches the Walls is the second opening theme from Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, used in anime edits, AMVs and nostalgic fan videos.
This clip is a 41 second excerpt of Hologram, the energetic J-rock opening performed by Nico Touches the Walls for Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood. It opens with bright electric guitars and a driving drum beat before the passionate male vocal lifts into the soaring chorus that fans instantly recognise. The melody feels urgent and hopeful at the same time, matching Edward and Alphonse Elric's determination on their journey. Hearing it immediately brings back early Brotherhood episodes, alchemy battles and emotional reunions, making the short excerpt feel much bigger and more cinematic than its runtime suggests for longtime anime viewers.
