Song: The Other Self
Watch Kuroko's Basketball on Crunchyroll! got.cr/Watch-K...
An up-and-coming power player, Taiga Kagami, is just back from America. When he comes to Seirin High School, he meets the super-ordinary boy, Tetsuya Kuroko. Kagami is shocked to find that Kuroko isn't good at basketball, in fact, he's bad! And he's so plain that he's impossible to see. But Kuroko's plainness lets him pass the ball around without the other team noticing him, and he's none other than the sixth member of the Miracle Generation.

0:30 so is no one going to mention how in this shot, the generation of miracles are all on the left, covered in light, and Kuroko is on the right, in the shadows? Also, Momoi is in between, because she's not considered a member of the generation of miracles, but as we saw when Seiren first played Aomine's school, some onlookers already knew she was special as an information specialist. Meaning she's well known, but not considered as big of a deal as the GoM.
