My First Kissanshin papa

Kiteretsu Encyclopedia OP 'My First Kiss'

It’s a famous song that everyone knows, used as the opening theme for Kiteretsu Daihyakka.

Including the anime’s content, at first glance you might overlook it as a love song, but from the title alone, this is indeed a love song! The lyrics openly capture that mix of embarrassment and joy—the irresistible grin—when you have your first kiss with someone you like.

The singer credited as Anshin Papa is actually a fictional persona; the song is performed by Toshiharu Jitsukawa, who also wrote it.

Thanks to a slightly unusual recording method, that distinctive vocal sound was achieved.
