Omoide In My Head

The opening sequence of Sparkle On, Raven: The Life of DrillGirl uses a shortened version of the song "Omoide In My Head" by Number Girl, specifically the live performance from Number Girl's final show pending the band's first break-up in 2002. It plays at the beginning of every episode. It does not play during minisodes.
==Overview==
The logos of Production F.C. and TaV123 appear on screen as the music ramps up. Raven lifts her fist up in the air and smiles at the viewer, as we cut to the show logo superimposed over a still of the School. A montage of Raven walking over different scenery is shown - a pavement with bushes nearby, the mess hall, a bridge over a river, and the school's football field.
A series of title cards with Raven, Berrycream Frosting, and Dark Shi is shown. Their names are set in their signature hues as they rapidly change fonts. Stock footage plays behind them, with Raven's being a train stopping at a subway station, Berrycream's being a blooming rose, and Dark Shi's being a person who fails to ride a skateboard. We cut to a group shot of the three talking to each-other and smiling, until we zoom in on Raven. The scene turns greyscale as the song ramps up.
DrillGirl appears in white outlines over television static, but her image is very shaky. Then, a second character appears in the same style (this character changes every episode). One more character is seen, appearing as a mysterious figure filled in with white color except for the eyes, over the static. We see an outline of Raven over the static with her eyes closed in her magical girl uniform, after which she opens her eyes and gasps. 
The static ends and a colorful collage of characters appears as slices into the black frame, featuring Strawberry, Gentlemen Broncos Blu-ray, Slash, Chupa Chups, a child with orange and black colored hair (?), Berrycream Frosting in her rabbit form,ROBBYDUDE [@ROBBYDUDE]. "ya!! in the original character sheet she sometimes transforms into a bunny. we just havent had a moment to use it yet lmao" Twitter, 14 Feb. 2023. https://twitter.com/ROBBYDUDE/status/1625617966678298624 and then Chupa Chups again. Cut to a shot of Chupa Chups in a flying saucer with bunny Berrycream and Reno Bee flying beside, with an image of Raven looking stoically away from the viewer, laid over the scene at half-opacity.
The final shot is a bird's eye view of Raven, Berrycream, Dark Shi, Ryan Sasuke and DrillGirl looking at the viewer, on pavement surrounded by grass. Raven points to the sky and smiles. The view tilts towards the sky as the logo fades into view. Cut to title card.

|-|Japanese=ねむらずに　朝が来て　ふらつきながら帰る
誰もいない電車の中を　朝日が白昼夢色に染める
 
ああ制服の少女よ　気が狂いそうな青空と朝日のせいで白くまぶしい
俺は　うすく目を開けて　閉じて　そしてまた開く!!
現実と残像はくりかえし　気がつくとそこに
ポケットに手を突っ込んで　センチメンタル通りを
練り歩く　17歳のおれがいた
 
朝日は　いまだ　白く　まぶしくて
俺はおれをとりもどすのをじっと待ってる
だんだんクリアになってゆく　頭の中の想い出が遠ざかる
さあもう目を開けて　感傷のうずまきに沈んでゆく俺を
まぼろしに　とりつかれた俺を
突き飛ばせ　そしてどこかに　捨てちまえ
|-|Romanized=Nemurazu ni asa ga kite furatsuki nagara kaeru
Dare mo inai densha no naka o Asahi ga hakuchūmushoku ni someru
 
ā seifuku no shōjo yo ki ga kuruisō na aozora to Asahi no sei de shiroku mabushii
Ore wa usuku me o akete tojite soshite mata hiraku !!
Genjitsu to zanzō wa kurikaeshi ki ga tsuku to soko ni
Poketto ni te o tsukkonde senchimentarudōri o

|-|English=It dawned without sleeping and I go back to home on unsteady feet
The rising sun dyes the inside of the empty train the color of the daydream
 
Oh a girl in the school uniform, you look shiningly white because of the madly blue sky and the rising sun.
I thinly open my eyes, close them and open them again!!
As reality and afterimage was repeated one after another, there I found,
myself at the age of 17, with my hands in my pockets,
wandering through the sentimental street.
 
The rising sun is still white and shiny
I am patiently waiting for myself retrieved
It became clearer and clearer, and the memory in my mind fades away
Now, open my eyes, myself sinking into the whirlpool of emotions,
myself possessed by illusion,
thrust him, and throw him away somewhere
