"Only One Story", an original Japanese song released about 7 months after the group's Japanese debut in March, is a pleasant and cheerful song of encouragement telling people that are setting off on an adventure that everything is going to be okay. It gives Pocket Monsters protagonists Liko and Roy the courage to be able to continue making progress alongside the companions and Pokémon they've met while creating their own unique story.
This very first anime tie-in song from Zerobaseone will be released digitally October 11th, the same day Pocket Monsters Chapter 4, Rayquaza Rising, premieres. Zerobaseone was formed in April last year through the Korean audition show "Boys Planet", and is a 9-member group consisting of Sung Han Bin, Kim Ji Woong, Zhang Hao, Seok Matthew, Kim Tae Rae, Ricky, Kim Gyu Vin, Park Gun Wook and Han Yu Jin.
The members of the group were overjoyed as they told us "Pokémon is one of our favorite anime series, and we've been watching it since we were kids. We've always wanted to do an opening theme for it, so we're really happy for this opportunity!" They also said that "this is a really fun song everyone will be able to sing and dance to, so please enjoy it alongside the anime!"
A comment from Zerobaseone:
Pokémon is one of our favorite anime series, and we've been watching it since we were kids. We've always wanted to do an opening theme for it, so we're really happy for this opportunity! Only One Story's chorus is extremely catchy, and we don't think you'll be able to get it out of your heads once you hear it. The end of the chorus also has some really memorable lyrics that go "Nankai mo naitatte kimi nara so daijobu", so make sure to keep your attention on those as well. This is a really fun song everyone will be able to sing and dance to, so please enjoy it alongside the anime!
