Tokyo – October 4, 2024 – ZUTOMAYO’s new track “TAIDADA,” the ending theme for the anime DAN DA DAN, has been released digitally. The song is notable for its clever lyricism, skillfully interweaving phrases that reflect the anime’s themes while rhyming with its title.

A video of DAN DA DAN’s ending sequence has also been released, featuring the daily life of a mysterious animated maneki-neko (beckoning cat). Struggling with overly strong wind from a hairdryer, adopting a kitten of her own, jamming out to music, dancing, or failing at cooking, everything about this adorable cat is just a little bit extra as it goes about its surprisingly human-like life. These hijinks are further enhanced by ZUTOMAYO’s peppy tune “TAIDADA.”

DAN DA DAN is a popular manga by Yukinobu Tatsu, serialized on Shueisha’s manga app Shonen Jump Plus, with over 4 million copies in circulation. The story follows Momo, a high school girl from a family of spirit mediums, and her classmate Okarun, an occult geek. The two of them started talking after Momo rescued Okarun from getting bullied. However, an argument ensues between them – Momo believes in ghosts but denies aliens, and Okarun believes in aliens but denies ghosts. To make each other believe in what they denied the existence of, Momo goes to an abandoned hospital known for its UFO sightings, and Okarun goes to a tunnel that is said to be haunted. In each place, they encounter overwhelming paranormal entities that defy comprehension. Amid trouble, Momo awakens her hidden power and Okarun gains the power of a curse to challenge the paranormal entities! Could this be the start of a fateful romance as well!? Now begins a new story of occult battles and adolescence!
