The powerful vocals of Isao Sasaki and Mitsuko Horie vividly color the heroes’ exploits.
Beloved in living rooms nationwide as the theme song for the TV drama “Himitsu Sentai Gorenger,” which began airing in 1975, the single released in April of that year reached No.

The rousing march that weaves in the five colors through its lyrics, together with a rock sound driven by thunderous brass, surely captured children’s hearts.
It’s said that the scat—reportedly added by the composer on the spot—helped define the musical direction of the entire series.
An evergreen, quintessential hero song that fills you with courage and hope.

It was the first time a shuffle beat was used in a theme song for the long-running Super Sentai series, making it a truly groundbreaking work.
The song powerfully portrays the indomitable spirit of heroes who fight with the bonds of their comrades in their hearts, refusing to yield to an unseen threat.
Included on the single “Dengeki Sentai Changeman / NEVER STOP Changeman,” released in February 1985, it was used as the opening theme for the tokusatsu drama Dengeki Sentai Changeman.

You can hear a straight-ahead drive in Kenta Sato’s powerful vocals, too.
Released as a single in March 2006 as part of the Super Sentai Series’ 30th-anniversary project, this track also comes with a fun anecdote: Sato suggested that the insert song “DANCE Tokimeku Kokoro” would be perfect for the final episode, and it was indeed used for the ending.
