Mobile Suit Gundam 00 has eight regular TV theme songs across its two seasons: four openings and four endings. This guide separates them by season and first/later part, with official music videos or distributed audio where a suitable source has been identified.
You can watch four official music videos on this page. The other four songs link to their artist or label’s release pages. An artist’s music video may differ from the anime opening or ending sequence. This list covers the regular TV themes; film themes and insert songs are not included.

A practical way to revisit the eight themes
To recall the progression of each season, move from its first opening and ending to its later opening and ending. Alternatively, compare all four openings, then all four endings. Try either order and see which brings back your memories of the series.
If a player is unavailable or is not the animation you expected
If a video won’t play, try the YouTube link beneath it. Availability may vary by region or account. Friends, Prototype, Namida no Mukou and trust you currently link to their official release pages.
An artist’s music video may contain no Gundam characters or mobile suits. The music and the animation are separate resources, so check the label before opening a link. This guide directs readers to authorized resources without reproducing or translating complete lyrics.
