AiNA THE END / On the Road of Revolution – On The Way × TV Anime 'Dandadan' [Collaboration Music Video]

The opening theme for season 2 of the popular TV anime Dandadan, known for its unique “occult × youth” world.

Written and composed by Aina The End, who, after her activities with BiSH, has shown a wide range of expression as a solo artist.

The interplay of high-velocity sound and mysterious melody is superb, perfectly matching the atmosphere of the work.

Centered on the theme of fighting to protect what’s precious while harboring a sentimental love, the song, paired with Aina The End’s edgy vocals, stirs the listener’s heart.

Creepy Nuts, who stormed the scene with the massive hit “Bling-Bang-Bang-Born.” Their new track was written specifically as the opening theme for the TV anime Dandadan.

It expresses the idea of music possessing people with the unique concept of a “sonic apparition,” perfectly syncing with the series’ occult worldview.

Over DJ Matsunaga’s exhilarating, fast-paced track, R-Shitei weaves lyrics that cleverly evoke famous horror works and popular manga, revealing new layers with every listen.

Given its quality, it’s no surprise it topped the Billboard Japan Hot 100 after its release in October 2024.

It’s a perfect song not only for fans of the anime but also for anyone who wants to immerse themselves in Creepy Nuts’ meticulously crafted wordplay.

ZUTOMAYO – TAIDADA (Audio Track)

Zutto Mayonaka de Iinoni., a music unit that captivates listeners with their one-of-a-kind worldview, crafted this piece, which was selected as the ending theme for the TV anime Dandadan.

Inspired by the clumsy words of the characters, it’s a song that conveys a quiet, heartwarming sense of happiness—like the kind you feel in a small four-and-a-half-tatami room.

Within a meticulously woven ensemble where funky grooves and rock intertwine, ACA-ne’s delicate yet energetic vocals come alive.

Released in October 2024, the track is included on the mini-album “Koke no Ichinen Kaiba ni Takusu.” It’s the kind of song you’ll want to sink into when you want to savor the tenderness of everyday life that follows an occult uproar.

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.

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.

Released in March 2000, the track was used as the opening theme for the anime Detective Conan and became a long-running hit, charting for 11 weeks.
