It debuted in EP054, replacing ポケットにファンタジー Fantasy in My Pocket. It was replaced by ニャースのうた Meowth's Song in EP065.

Synopsis

The song is done in the style of a traditional Japanese Ondo, with the beat provided by a Machamp (beating traditional Japanese taiko drums, no less!) and the backup vocals done by various Pokémon. Ash, Misty, and Brock appear in the song in traditional Japanese festival outfits (ostensibly yukata) and dance throughout the ending along with Meowth, Pikachu and Jigglypuff.

Trivia

• It also aired as the ending for EP104, replacing Type: Wild, and was replaced by Riding on Lapras in EP105.
• The two Pokémon repeating their names at various points of the song are Koffing and Ekans.

• This is one of the few Japanese songs that can be heard in the dub. It was played in the background of The Flame Pokémon-athon!.
