It has been announced that the girl group "ME:I" will be performing the ending theme "Ready Go" for the new chapter of the TV anime "Pokemon", "Mega Voltage". ME:I was born from the audition program "PRODUCE 101 JAPAN THE GIRLS" and debuted in April 2024 with the single "MIRAI". The group has previously performed the Japanese ending song for the animated film "Moana 2", but this is their first time performing a theme song for a TV anime.
"Ready Go" features a retro pop sound, and the lyrics are peppered with phrases related to Riko and Roy's adventures, such as "airship" and "evolution." The song is said to have a story that connects ME:I's past to the future, and Riko and her friends' past to the future. The group's third single, "MUSE," which includes the song, will be released on April 16th. An anime version with Riko and Pokemon on the cover will also be released.
Leader MOMONA commented, "It's truly a dream come true to be involved in the work ' Pokemon', which has been close to me since I was born and is loved all over the world, through music as I am in charge of the ending theme! 'Ready Go' is pop and cute, and many words related to ' Pokemon' appear. This song is filled with fresh charm not seen in ME:I's previous works, and I hope that ME:I's singing voice will reach a wide variety of people, just like ' Pokemon', which is loved by people of all ages and genders! Please look forward to it."
A digest video looking back on the story of the anime so far has been released on YouTube. The video is about 8 minutes long and is packed with elements from the two years of the anime, from when Riko and Roy begin their adventure with their partners Nyaoha and Hogeta to the shocking conclusion surrounding Rakua.
The new series of the TV anime "Pokemon" will begin airing in April 2023. The story is set in the entire Pokémon world, with the main characters, a young girl named Riko and a young boy named Roy, going on an adventure with their Pokémon. It will air every Friday at 6:55 pm on TV Tokyo.
The new chapter will begin with a one-hour special broadcast on April 11. The popular duo Yuzu will be in charge of the opening theme song for the new chapter, "GET BACK."
