New Opening Theme - GET BACK by Yuzu

The official Japanese Anime PR Twitter account posted comments from Yuzu on March 21st, 2025.

GET BACK
(SENHA)
Vocals: Yuzu
Lyrics: Yujin Kitagawa, Koji Iwasawa
Composition: Yujin Kitagawa, TeddyLoid
Arrangement: TeddyLoid, Yuzu

It has been decided that the music duo Yuzu will be handling "GET BACK", the opening theme to the new Mega Voltage chapter of the anime TV show Pocket Monsters (airs on the TV Tokyo Network every Friday at 6:55pm, officially abbreviated "Anipoke") that premieres April 11th. This is an all new song depicting the strong resolve Liko and the others have, and can be heard in part in the newly released trailer.

The opening theme for Mega Voltage, the new chapter starting Friday, April 11th, 2025, will be... "GET BACK" by Yuzu. We've received comments from both members:

アニポケ 新オープニングテーマ
4月11日(金)からスタートする
新章「メガボルテージ」オープニングテーマは…
ゆず(@yuzu_official)の「GET BACK」
お2人からコメントをいただきました！

I feel extremely honored to do an opening theme for Pokémon anime, which is loved all over the world by both men and women, boys and girls of all ages. Yuzu debuted in 1997, the same year the Pokémon anime premiered, so it's a collaboration between "contemporaries" so to speak, which made me feel like we and the show shared a deep bond and a sense of destiny. Something entirely new and unexpected was born between Yuzu and Pokémon as we came together under the banner of Get Back. I hope this song will stay with those who love Pokémon and continue to evolve by their side.
-Yujin Kitagawa

When I first got the news, I was very honored, but honestly also very surprised, wondering if Yuzu was really the right choice for this show. Just the fact that many of the earlier theme songs have been very "poppy", as well as emotionally aligned with the anime, made me think a lot about how well Yuzu would be able to align with the anime, as well as whether Pokémon anime fans would accept our song. Yuzu has filled this opening theme with as much respect for Pokémon as they possibly could, and I hope watching and listening to it will bring you a weekly dose of excitement.
-Koji Iwasawa

【北川悠仁】
老若男女、世代を問わず世界中で愛されているアニポケのオープニングテーマということで、とても光栄な気持ちです。
1997年に放送がスタートしたアニポケと、同じ年にデビューしたゆず。
ある意味「同期」のコラボレーションで、深い縁や運命を感じました。

【岩沢厚治】
大変光栄なお話だ、という気持ちと共に、正直、意外でした。
ゆずでいいんですか!?という気持ちです。
歴代のテーマソングがとてもポップで、しかもアニメに寄り添う様な曲が多かっただけに、はたしてどこまでゆずが寄り添えるか、アニポケファンに受け入れて貰えるだろうかと、とても考えました。

Announcement of Ult's Voice Actor for the Pokémon Anime

The official Japanese Anime PR Twitter account posted an interview with Natsumi Fujiwara on March 21st, 2025. Ult, the Pokémon Trainer that holds the key to the new chapter Mega Voltage, will be played by... Natsumi Fujiwara-san! We present a comment from Fujiwara-san where she talks about what kind of character he is.

新章「メガボルテージ」でカギを握る
ポケモントレーナー・ウルト
演じるのは…藤原夏海 さん
どんなキャラクターなのか、藤原さんのコメントをお届け

Hello, everyone. This is Natsumi Fujiwara! This time I've been given the opportunity to play Ult, a Pokémon Trainer with a Yamirami as his partner, who appears in Mega Voltage, the new chapter of the Pocket Monsters TV show! Thank you so much! I look forward to doing my best!

How did you feel when you learned you had been picked for the role?
Surprised... shocked... and happy, I guess. Pokémon is one of those franchises I myself been into since I was a kid; I of course watched the anime, I watched the movies, I played the games back when they were in black and white... So it all made me both surprised and happy at the same time that I got to be part of a franchise that has such a long history. However, it also gave me this strong desire to take on these various challenges. "All right, bring it on!", you know.

What were your initial impression of Ult, the character you play?
He has this lively feeling to him, as if a fresh wind has blown onto the scene. He has this really intense and child-like attitude towards Roy, which I personally finds makes him a very... well, charming and loveable character.

What were your initial impressions of his partner Pokémon Yamirami?
My initial impressions were among the lines of "It's kinda shady", "Wonder what this guy is up to", "Just what IS this thing anyway?", and the fact that it's both a Ghost type AND a Dark type just made it even more of a shady Pokémon you never quite know what's up to. However, I also got extremely curious how this mysterious Yamirami character met Ult and what kind of life it's led since then.

Finally, do you have something you want to tell the viewers?
This series has been running for a long time, so my heart is really racing at the thought of getting to join it for the first time as Ult. I want to bring a new and fun wind to the show, and I hope you'll all watch in excitement at seeing what new adventures will unfold before Roy and the others, as well as Ult. Best regards! Mega Voltage, the new chapter that features my character Ult, will start Friday April 11th with a 1 hour special! The Pocket Monsters TV show airs every Friday at 6:55pm on the TV Tokyo Network. Best regards! This has been Natsumi Fujiwara. Bye-bye!
