‘Superstar’ is the 36th single by Ketsumeishi, released in 2020.

It has been used as the opening theme for the TV anime Crayon Shin-chan starting from the episode aired on October 3, 2020.

Kenshi Yonezu – Paprika

It’s been sung and played in so many settings that most people have probably heard the title “Paprika.” The music moves at a relaxed pace, almost deceptively simple at first.

But if you listen closely, you’ll notice the melody is richly adorned with many tones, making it wonderfully pleasing to the ear.

The message, sung alongside that music and repeated again and again, resonates deeply with many people.

It’s a song that embraces listeners of all ages—from elementary school children on up—offering comfort to all kinds of people.
