GLORY DAY ~That Shining Day~ (Japanese: GLORY DAY 〜輝くその日〜 GLORY DAY ~Kagayaku Sono Hi~) was the fifth ending theme song of the Japanese Advanced Generation Pokémon anime series, and the 18th ending overall.
It debuted in AG099, and a second cut with different lyrics debuted in AG109; the second cut was replaced by Pokémon Counting Song in AG135, just to reappear again as the ending in AG150 with a different animation. This time, it lasted until AG172 when it was replaced once again, this time by I Won't Lose! ~Haruka's Theme~.
The animation for GLORY DAY contains the most complex animation seen in any Pokémon ending sequence: it features animated images on top of a moving sky background. Included are scenes of all the current major characters, their Pokémon, and all of Ash's past Pokémon. The new animation (used from AG150 to AG172) featured Ash and Pikachu walking on a side of the screen as clips from the current episode were being played on the left side.
The POWER MIX, most likely the version used for the television ending, is only slightly different from the original mix. It features an organ at the beginning and brass instead of synthesizer during the final bridge.

Glory Day! Even in pouring rain, Glory Day! Even in a strong north wind, Glory Day! Just accept it all, And push ahead! Glory Day! The clouds flow into the distance, Revealing the sun. When the sweat pours down I feel I'm alive! There are times I'm so down, It seems the worst, but Surely I can keep going If I believe in myself. Glory Day! When you lose your way Glory Day! You should ask the wind Glory Day! If you listen quietly You will hear it: "Believe Myself!" Though I see nothing but the times We clashed head on, I'm sure I'll find Your overflowing smile. A friend running up to tell me "You did it!" Is a sparkling diamond. It will never grow dim So long as I believe in everyone. Glory Day! The dazzling sun Glory Day! And the flowing clouds Glory Day! I'll pull them along with me And reach my goal! Glory Day! Glory Day! When you lose your way Glory Day! You should ask the wind Glory Day! If you listen quietly You will hear it: "Believe Myself!" Glory Day! The dazzling sun Glory Day! And the flowing clouds Glory Day! I'll pull them along with me And reach my goal! Glory Day! |
