An irresistibly catchy denpa song used as the opening theme for the TV anime Lucky Star.
The vocals by the four characters played by Aya Hirano, Emiri Kato, Kaori Fukuhara, and Aya Endo are like a flood of words! The rap-style sections come at you without a moment to breathe, and the lyrics’ world—where trying to parse the meaning can send you into a maze—will have you hooked before you know it.
