SYNOPSIS

An unforgettable piece of late-’90s Japanese pop culture, this single pairs two of the most iconic songs from the Pokémon anime. Sung by Rica Matsumoto, “めざせポケモンマスター” (“Aim to Be a Pokémon Master”) became the show’s legendary opening theme, instantly recognizable for its soaring vocals and boundless energy. On the flip side, “ひゃくごじゅういち” (“Hyakugojūichi”), performed by Professor Oak (voiced by Unshō Ishizuka) and the Pokémon Kids, offered a playful, quirky contrast that charmed fans of all ages. Together, the tracks capture the spirit of adventure, fun, and nostalgia that has made Pokémon a global phenomenon. This record marks the first time Pokémon music was ever pressed on vinyl.
