This is a classic song that achieved explosive popularity as the theme of the anime Digimon Adventure.
With its positive lyrics and driving melody, it became the signature track of the “immortal butterfly of anisong” and remains a fiery anime anthem loved across generations.
Speaking of anisong, a crisp, articulate vocal style is a hallmark.
Wada’s singing is quite clear and enunciated, so it really hypes up a karaoke session and makes for an excellent practice piece.
The key to singing it is to project firmly as if aiming far ahead.
If you’ve taken a good breath but let the voice out halfway, it won’t come out well—so don’t worry about pitch; just commit and sing out with confidence.
