Hikari Sentai Maskman

Sung by Hironobu Kageyama as the opening theme for a 1987 tokusatsu drama on TV Asahi, this track was engineered to make the core concept of the work—“Aura Power”—resonate directly with viewers’ hearts and bodies, riding on a recurring call phrase in the chorus.

Masao Urino’s slogan-like lyrics, Daisuke Inoue’s memorable melody, and Kageyama’s solid vocals come together to generate a fervor that inspires physicality, spirituality, and supernatural force.

The 1980s sound—driven by brass sections and digital drums—is another highlight, musically underpinning a show world themed around martial arts and qigong.

Released as a 7-inch single by Nippon Columbia, it was also included in the 2006 compilation commemorating the 30th installment of the Super Sentai series.

The arrangement, the vocals, the lyrical worldview—everything is spot on.

It’s truly a god-tier hype anthem.
