Ultraman Theme and Insert Songs (1–10)
Ultraman TaroTakemura Tarou
This, too, is an extremely famous song on par with Ultraman and Ultra Seven.
Above all, the lyrics are easy to understand, so you can memorize them quickly and find yourself humming along before you know it.
The opening lines in particular—“There’s the Father of Ultra, there’s the Mother of Ultra”—are especially popular.
The Hero’s PoemTHE ALFEE
This is the opening theme used in New Ultra Hero Chronicle, and since it was also released as a single by THE ALFEE, many people may have heard it even if they haven’t watched Ultraman.
It’s a quintessential THE ALFEE number, brimming with exhilaration.
TAKE ME HIGHERV6
It’s the theme song of Ultraman Tiga.
Unusually for the Ultraman series, it was a collaboration with Johnny’s.
The lead role was played by a V6 member, and the theme song was also by V6.
While it has a Johnny’s-style sound, it’s characterized by a melody full of drive and speed.
Ultraman Theme and Insert Songs (11–20)
Legend of Galaxy ~ Conqueror of the GalaxyTakamiy with Miyano Mamoru
The main theme of New Ultraman Retsuden.
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call it a masterpiece that will go down in Ultraman history.
Composed by Toshihiko Takamizawa, it features his signature exhilarating style, and it’s a piece that fills you with energy the moment you hear it.
Ultraman Gaia!Tanaka Masayuki, Daimon Kazuya
It’s the theme song of Ultraman Gaia.
Although the series itself leans serious with themes like nature, the song has a more fired-up, cheer-like feel that’s a bit different in tone.
Surprisingly, it fits the work well and is enjoyable.
The phrase “I want an Ultraman” is especially memorable.
Go for it, Ultraman 80!TALIZMAN
The later opening theme of Ultraman 80.
Although the artist remained the same, the lyrics became a standard style typical of Showa-era Ultraman, calling out to Ultraman 80.
If anything, more people may remember this version of the song.
Ultraman Ondo
It’s a fun number that mixes the world of tokusatsu heroes with the rhythm of bon odori.
The presence of Ultraman—familiar to everyone—overlaps with the music and captures children’s hearts.
Adding choreography to the “signature pose” lines in the lyrics makes it easy to enjoy even for first-time festival-goers.
The drums and percussion in the background evoke the feeling of summer and bring liveliness to the whole track.
The vocals are dynamic, with clear shifts between sections that make it thoroughly engaging to listen to.
It’s highly recommended not only for kids who love Ultraman, but also for anyone in the mood to soak up a festive atmosphere.
