[Fiery Classics] Super Sentai Theme Songs: Historic Openings & Endings (1–10)
Secret KakurangerTu Chi Chen
An energizing eurobeat opening theme for Ninja Sentai Kakuranger, punctuated by the sounds of drums and hyoshigi clappers.
Its masterful blend of Japanese and Western elements draws listeners straight into the story’s world.
The lyrics are especially unique, depicting ninja exploits from a third-party perspective—neither hero nor villain.
The song served as the theme for the tokusatsu drama of the same name that aired in 1994, and it’s performed by Takashi Toshi-mi himself, who also composed it.
The playful anecdote of him concealing his identity at the time under the name Two Chee Chen adds extra charm.
The fact that the cassette release ranked fifth on the 1995 year-end chart speaks to its popularity.
It’s the perfect track when you want to get pumped up with a nostalgic hero song.
Mahou Sentai MagirangerTakafumi Iwasaki
As the successor to Special Investigation Squadron Dekaranger, Magical Squadron Magiranger aired from 2005.
In sharp contrast to its predecessor, it features a fantasy-inspired tone, and the opening theme is quite dazzling.
Many children were surely shocked by the twist that their greatest enemy, Wolzard Fire, was actually the protagonists’ father.
Busters, ready go!Hideyuki Takahashi
Aired from February 26, 2012 to February 10, 2013, Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters uses “spies” as its motif in both appearance and action, and it incorporates computer-related elements in its presentation.
It also aimed to ‘reform’ the Super Sentai series, being the first team name not to include the suffix “-ger.” The opening theme is “Busters Ready Go!”

Samurai Sentai ShinkengerPsychic Lover
Airing from February 15, 2009 to February 7, 2010, this Super Sentai series was the first to use samurai as its motif—an unusual concept for the franchise.
The Red is the lord, with the others as his retainers, establishing a clear hierarchy among the members.
The theme song is fun, featuring Japanese-style instruments like the shamisen and koto, paired with lyrics that tread the line of being comical.
It’s performed by Psychic Lover.
Hurricaneger, at your service!Hideaki Takatori
Ninpu Sentai Hurricaneger, which aired in 2002.
Because the initial team consisted of just three warriors, it probably felt a bit lacking for kids.
However, as ninjas from different schools joined forces, things became quite lavish by the end.
The English-speaking Shurikenger especially stood out.
The theme song is Hideaki Takatori’s “Hurricaneger Sanjo!”
Tensou Sentai GoseigerNOB
Tensou Sentai Goseiger is a Super Sentai series themed around angels that aired from February 14, 2010 to February 6, 2011.
It was also the first in the Sentai franchise to introduce trading cards for transformations and battles.
The series’ opening theme song is “Tensou Sentai Goseiger,” sung by NoB.
GoGo Sentai BoukengerNOB
Known for being featured on the “Ame Talk!” Super Sentai Lovers episode, where Bōken Yellow’s transformation pose was praised as cute, 2006’s GoGo Sentai Boukenger stars Akashi Satoru, the protagonist Bōken Red, who is portrayed as a comical character with incredibly bad luck.
