Theme songs and insert songs from the Kamen Rider series
Introducing the theme songs from the Kamen Rider series, one of Japan’s iconic heroes alongside Ultraman.
Kamen Rider is a TV show that has been airing since 1971, featuring stories in which the Riders battle the monstrous agents of the evil organization Shocker.
More than 100 Riders have appeared so far, each with their own unique fighting style.
They’re called “Riders” because they ride motorcycles—an idea that originated during the 1971 planning phase when the programming director at Mainichi Broadcasting System was an avid motorcycle enthusiast.
