March 31st - Pocket Monsters Anime Music Festival

[Sham]

Yea they need to release that BW OTS asap. That series has one of the best composed music and it shows because they're still spamming the Black and White title screen almost a decade later

 

[AuraChannelerChris]

Oh, I just realized. The sleeping Lucario and Mew were a Lucario reference.

Award for the most based comment of the year.

Btw, Summerly Slope is underrated, specially coming from BW

Summerly Slope being underrated is true for the entire DA arc anyway I’m not even joking. People need to lowkey turn their brains off and just enjoy the dumb yet interesting filler, even if yes, Ash’s Unova team did basically nothing for a whole year. It would have been improved if they did a little tournament arc, one more Don Battle

 

[Dephender]

Proper summary:

It's the greatest hour ever, raising the roof with Pokémon and music!
One after another, the extravagant artists that have sung theme songs in the past will be appearing in the studio!
And a certain artist will also give us the first ever performance of the opening theme for the new series that's on everyone's minds!

Aimer?

You know, I wonder if they ever played some form of the 4Kids opening in Japan.

Rica did a cover of The Pokemon Theme with Zetki a while ago if that counts.

 

[Dragonsoldier77]

Proper summary:

Well at least this means it’s not going to be just rica. Let’s see if the song selection ends up being good.

Man if there’s one time for them not go into OS bias it’s this. Early songs aside from mesaze and OK were pretty meh.

holy ****, this is amazing. thank you, sincerely

 

[Yce288]

An acoustic version of never gonna give you up would be nice

holy ****, this is amazing. thank you, sincerely

Here's a link:

and i hope that Shinji Miyazaki's music for BW-SM somehow get released, its already weird that JN's music was released before all of Shinji Miyazaki's music got released.

Summary

No cast list. They're being secretive.

Now that's just not true. There's some good OPs and EDs in OS, I wouldn't be surprised if we got a Maemuki Rocket-Dan or a Rocket Dan yo Eien ni performance.

Lmao.

Claiming OS has good songs and the proceeding to bring out two bad ones.

That's 100% just some opinion based nonsense so I'm not sure what response you even respect. Regardless, Hirokazu Tanaka's songs have always been good for as long as he worked on the show. Disliking Team Rocket doesn't make you special.

 

[Dark_King25]

what if goldfarb is the only one who is performing on that special?

 

[AuraChannelerChris]

I'd ask why we're not riding an elevator.

 

[nuzamaki90]

I hope Rica is the singer for the new OP! One last go around to leave is with.

 

[Trey pokes]

Pretty sure Ed is forbidden around stuff like this in all honesty.

It's been decided to show the 1 hour music special "Pocket Monsters Anime Music Festival" on the 31st in order to commemorate the closing of the curtains on the 26 year long history of Satoshi and Pikachu's story since the series started airing in April 1997.

The music special will be an hour of raising the roof with Pokémon and music, where the extravagant artists that have sung theme songs in the past will be appearing in the studio one after another. In addition, the opening theme of the new series starting April 14th will be unveiled.

In addition, the opening theme for the new series, "Dokimeki Diary (asmi feat. Chinozo)" will be sung by asmi and produced by the unparalleled creator Chinozo, who's active in the online scene. This is a song that depicts Liko's adventurous spirit through pop music, made by a special unit created specifically for this show.

Press release, with a proper overview of what the special will contain:

Well that pretty much confirms that Liko is the main protagonist here lol. The fact that Roy basically made a cameo in the trailers so far told us this but the opening theme being about her confirms it to me.

Also Dephender not sure where else to ask this, is this post from the anipoke twitter account hinting that Ash is going to back in some form later??
