I think this is one of the most famous Disney songs, even among those that little children have heard.
I believe it’s the Disney theme song.

An energetic track where a powerful ska sound fuses with Yohei Kawakami’s vocals.
Released in December 2020 as the theme song for Kamen Rider Saber, it centers on the courage to face hardships, skillfully expressing the tokusatsu hero worldview of transforming to become stronger.
The song is also included on Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra’s album SKA=ALMIGHTY, which commemorates their 30th anniversary.
Skapara’s characteristically rhythmic performance pairs perfectly with Kawakami’s commanding vocals.
It’s a must-listen not only for tokusatsu fans, but also for anyone who enjoys ska or rock.
