Yattaman no Uta

“Yattaman no Uta” by Yamamoto Masayuki is a vibrant and energetic theme song for the Japanese anime series “Yattaman,” part of the Time Bokan series. The song encapsulates the essence of the show, which revolves around the adventures of the Yattaman team as they battle the villainous Doronbo gang. The lyrics are filled with onomatopoeic sounds and exclamations, creating a lively and engaging atmosphere that mirrors the action-packed nature of the anime.

The song opens with a series of playful sounds, “UU WAN WAN WAN UU JIN JIN JIN,” setting a whimsical tone. The lyrics then describe the Yattaman team’s readiness to spring into action at the sound of the siren, emphasizing their swift and determined response to any threat. The mention of “Kamen ni kakushita seigi no kokoro” (the heart of justice hidden behind a mask) highlights the theme of masked heroes, a common trope in Japanese pop culture, symbolizing the fight for justice and the protection of the innocent.

Throughout the song, there is a recurring motif of the Yattaman team’s unwavering strength and resilience. Phrases like “Odoroku hodo ni tsuyoi nda” (surprisingly strong) and “Shibireru hodo ni tsuyoi nda” (so strong it’s electrifying) reinforce their formidable abilities. The song also features the Yattaman team’s signature victory pose, “Shouri no POOZU da HAI! ACHOO!” which adds a sense of triumph and celebration to their victories. The playful and repetitive nature of the lyrics, combined with the upbeat tempo, makes “Yattaman no Uta” an unforgettable anthem that captures the spirit of adventure and heroism.
