One more month to go until the debut of the newest hero in the Ultraman Universe, Ultraman Decker. Today, Tsuburaya Productions announced the names of the artists who will be performing the Opening and Ending Theme Songs for the new series.
The opening theme song for the new series is titled “Wake Up Decker!” It will be performed by the Anison band, SCREEN Mode. The band consists of Yuu-YOU, aka voice actor Yu Hayashi (Ino Takuma from Jujutsu Kaisen, and Manjirō “Mikey” Sano from Tokyo Revengers), and Masatomo (aka Sound Producer Masatomo Ota).
The Ending theme song titled “Kanata Toku” will be performed by Hironobu Kageyama, leader of the unit “JAM Project”. Hironobu Kageyama is best known for his performance in anime such as Dragon Ball Z and the ending theme from Ultraman Dyna titled ” ULTRA HIGH”. Speaking of Ultraman Dyna, this year is the Twenty-Fifth Anniversary, the second of the three beloved late 90s TDG Series (Ultraman Tiga, Dyna, and Gaia), and its essence was brought into the new series.
There have been two new cast members announced recently, following up on the announcement two weeks ago.
- Sawa Kaizaki– Sae Miyazawa
- Taiji Murahoshi– Masaya Kikawada
Ultraman Decker will begin broadcasting on the TV Tokyo Network in Japan from July 9th, 2022! Every Thursday at 9 am JST.
“The threat of monster attacks fades, and the Earth seems once again at peace. Humanity turns its eyes to the stars and heads to space, while its monster attack countermeasures continue to shrink.
It is in this new age when “Sphere,” an invading swarm of mysterious floating space objects, begins to attack Earth. Humanity loses contact with space and becomes a lone star. Their attack throws our hero Kanata Asumi’s peaceful life into chaos. Destruction spreads before his eyes and a giant monster appears. With no heed for his own safety, Kanata jumps in front of the enemy and transforms into Ultraman Decker.
“I gotta do it now!”
Having discovered the light of Decker within himself, Kanata pledges to protect humanity’s daily life and joins the expert team GUTS-Select, newly reformed as an Anti-Sphere squad. As its newest member, Kanata and his young unseasoned team stand against these great enemies, together.“
