This is a track that colors the world of the hit anime Dandadan, which depicts intense battles with ghosts and aliens as well as a bittersweet romance.

The music is by Kensuke Ushio, known for works like Chainsaw Man and A Silent Voice.

It’s included on the album Dan Da Dan (Original Series Soundtrack), released in December 2024.

The piece is marked by a heartbeat-like pulsing beat and melodious synth tones that evoke a sense of nostalgia.

Thanks to a sound design that seamlessly blends the thrill of an unpredictable story with the sparkle of the protagonists’ youth, it’s a song that fills you with excitement just by listening.

It’s recommended not only for fans of the story but also for anyone who wants to add some color to their everyday life.

The song ChiquititaChikichiita (Oozora Naomi)

It’s amazing how an a cappella vocal alone can put you in such a good mood.

It’s an insert song from season 2 of the anime Dandadan, sung by Naomi Ozora, who plays the role of Chiquitita.

It suddenly played during a tense scene in episode 16, which aired in July 2025, and its surreal vibe and addictiveness instantly grabbed viewers’ hearts.

The way this pure and innocent cheer song turns a serious development into laughter with perfect balance is brilliant, capturing that quintessential Dandadan atmosphere perfectly.

Maybe the fact that the official channel released a two-hour endurance video right after the broadcast is proof that this is exactly what everyone wanted from the series—just maybe.

It’s the perfect track for when you don’t want to think about anything and just want to feel energized.

For this planetSakushi: Kuroda Hideki / Sakkyoku: Kondou Tatsurou / Ensou: Kazami

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.

The lyrics carry a powerful message that asks whether you can keep running without rest, giving listeners an incredible surge of energy.

Released as a single in November 1989 by Ushiwakamaru Saburōta—also known as actor Saburō Tokitō—it gained attention as the theme for a nutritional drink commercial.

It’s featured as an in-story song in a memorable scene in the anime Dandadan.

If you’re looking for the kind of power to laugh off tough situations, this might be perfect for you.

With punchy synths and rousing chants that lift your spirits, it’s a powerful, high-energy tune.

Jungle P5050

This is a song by the eight-member band 5050, used as the opening theme for the TV anime One Piece.

Its irresistibly bright, ska-based sound alone lifts your spirits and fills you with excitement for the grand adventure that’s about to begin.

The lyrics express the thrill of a sweeping journey across the world’s seas and a spirit of curiosity that drives one to challenge the unknown.

Released as a single in November 2007, the track accompanied episodes 326 through 372 of the anime.

You can practically picture Luffy and his crew confronting hardships with the strength of their bonds.

It’s a perfect song not only for boosting your mood on a drive, but also as an anthem to cheer you on when taking a new step forward.

Utakata LullabyAdo

[Ado] Fleeting Bubble Lullaby (Uta from ONE PIECE FILM RED)
Utakata LullabyAdo

A song by Ado written by FAKE TYPE.

as an in-film track for ONE PIECE FILM RED.

Released in August 2022, it’s included on the album “Uta no Uta ONE PIECE FILM RED.” The story is well known that Eiichiro Oda requested “a quirky, brainwashing kind of song,” and the result delivers with an exceptionally crazy, dark worldview.

The song’s biggest draw is undoubtedly its machine-gun-like rapid-fire rap and psychedelic sound.

The ultra-technical vocals—so challenging that Ado herself reportedly struggled—are simply stunning, and despite the title meaning a gentle lullaby, they brilliantly portray Uta’s madness and the charismatic pull she exerts over people.

It’s the perfect track when you want to fully immerse yourself in the world of the film.
