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.

The song ChiquititaChikichiita (Oozora Naomi)

Bold Party 16 Chiki-Chita Singing / Dandadan Episode 16 In-Story Song “Chiquitita’s Song” / DANDADAN Ep.16 clip CHI-CKI-CHI-TA singing

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.
