Upbeat Anime Songs Special [Get Hyped]

For this planetLyrics: Hideki Kuroda / Music: Tatsuro Kondo / Performed by: Kazami

Dandadan Regain Returns

This song, with a melody reminiscent of a nostalgic TV commercial jingle, was used as an in-anime track for Dandadan.

It delivers a passionate, forward-looking message, like that of a corporate warrior fighting for this planet.

Lyricist Hideki Kuroda and composer Tatsuro Kondo are the duo behind a 1989 commercial song that became a social phenomenon.

In episode 10, which aired in December 2024, the track played as a faux commercial jingle that propelled the story’s momentum.

Combined with the sprightly performance by DaizyStripper’s Kazami, the result is a sound that fuses nostalgia with a contemporary rock feel.

Paired with the anime’s comical scenes, it’s a track that doubles the work’s playful spirit.

It’s an energetic piece that makes you feel empowered just by listening.

The song carries a positive message of “Go out and grab your goals and dreams one after another!”—it feels like a powerful push to take action before overthinking.

Released in April 2015 as his 10th single, it was later included on the album “Boku kara Kimi e.” By the way, the coupling track was reportedly created at the director’s request with the theme “A letter from Clemont to Ash.” The love for the series really shines through! It’s a track packed with heart-stirring elements that we want everyone striving toward their dreams to hear!

This is the 20th-anniversary version of the original opening theme from the anime Pokémon.

It’s sung by Rica Matsumoto, who voices the protagonist Ash, and her powerful vocals are as strong as ever.

On top of the original’s momentum, the live-instrument performance gives the sound an extra boost that’s enough to get your heart racing just by listening.

The music vividly conveys the excitement of the beginning of an adventure chasing dreams with your friends, as depicted in the lyrics.

Marking twenty years since the original song’s 1997 release, this version was used as the theme song for the movie Pokémon the Movie: I Choose You! Incidentally, at a commemorative event in December 2017, about a thousand fans gathered and the venue was filled with a sense of unity.

It’s an uplifting track that I think gives a push to anyone taking on a challenge.
