If asked to name a representative parody-style anime song from the 2010s, many people would probably think of this track.

It was the opening theme for the first season of the TV anime “Nyaruko: Crawling with Love!” and a lively number performed by the cast unit Ushirokara Haiyori-tai.

The highly addictive call-and-response parts—turned into ASCII art and loved across the internet—are still talked about today.

The lyrics, written by one of the anime music world’s leading lyricists, Aki Hata—something an ordinary person could never come up with—remain shocking even now.

And the cute vocals from the cast, led by Kana Asumi as the heroine Nyaruko, are absolutely top-notch!
