Giga, TeddyLoid, DECO*27, and Sakurazaka46 drop lively MV for new Pokémon ending theme ‘PIKKAAN!’

Giants of electronic and Vocaloid music, Giga, TeddyLoid, and DECO*27 have teamed up with idols Hikaru Morita and Rina Matsuda from Sakurazaka46 for ‘PIKKAAN!’, the latest ending for the Pokémon anime Pokémon Horizons: The Series.

While the song itself debuted back in October, ‘PIKKAAN!’ has just received a stylish music video, which dropped on November 8th. The video features work from a number of creatives, including character illustrations by Kei Mochizuki, and choreography by pro otaku dancer ASHITAKA SNACK. Commenting on X about the video, ASHITAKA said:

“I never thought I would be the inspiration for Kei Mochizuki’s illustrations. I’ve never seen such a cool and skillful (breaking-wise) silhouette freeze illustration before, so this is amazing and I’m so grateful!!”

With music by Giga and Teddyloid, lyrics by DECO*27, and vocals by Hikaru Morita and Rina Matsuda, this is one big collaboration. In true Pokémon fashion, the lyrics are cute and motivational, alluding to the journeys Pokémon trainers embark upon and how they overcome difficulties with the power of friendship.
