Here’s an update on our earlier article about the theme song for Super Hero War, “Jounetsu ~ We are brothers~”.   The combined unit of artists (full list at earlier article) will be called “Hero Music All Stars.”  The lyrics were written by Shoko Fujibayashi.  The song was composed by AYANO and arranged by RIDER CHIPS, Junichi “IGAO” Igarashi, and Kotaro Nakagawa.

Here’s preview of the video and the CD jackets.

Comment from Project R.’s NoB:

Q: What did you think when you heard that you would do the Kamen Rider x Super Sentai theme song?

NoB: I was glad.  I’ve been working with Super Sentai for a while, but I loved Kamen Rider from the time I was a kid, it was even the reason I became involved in hero music.  I’m from the generation where just getting a movie was pretty special.  (laughs)  It’s an honor.

Q: How was the collaboration with not just Project R. but the Rider team as well?

NoB: RIDER CHIPS members Terachin (Koichi Terasoma) and Joe are my rock pals.  To be able to work with them like this was incredible.  This combination had never before existed in real life before.  The January concert didn’t even feel real.  Honestly, it was thrilling.

Q: Do you have a message for people who see the movie?

NoB: With this collaboration, the possibilities of the tokustatsu music teams have expanded a hundredfold.  I don’t think I’m the only one with this response. Please look forward to it.

Comment from RIDER CHIPS vocalist Ricky:

Q: What did you think when you heard that you would do the Kamen Rider x Super Sentai theme song?

Ricky: My heart danced at the honor!  I’ve always gotten to sing for Kamen Rider before, but to be able to sing with the Super Sentai musicians… I’ve always thought I’d be a yellow!

Q: How was the collaboration with Project R. and the other Rider theme song artists?

Ricky: It was really very stimulating!  I was especially nervous at being entrusted with this theme song, but I felt stronger when I was singing alongside everyone else.  It really is “we are brothers”!

Q: Do you have a message for people who see the movie?

Ricky: Do you want to become a hero?  Anybody can become one if they really want to!  The first steps are to be kind to others and to treasure your friends.  A truly strong person won’t brag about it!  When you see the movie you’ll understand what I mean.
