Masato Shimon, Columbia Yurikago-kai

Artist

A collaboration between male vocalist Masato Shimon, famous for songs such as 'Oyoge! Taiyaki-kun', and the children's chorus Columbia Yurikago-kai. Centered on hero and robot anime themes, the pairing left many powerful numbers in which the strong solo and the children's chorus became one. It is known for themes that symbolize Showa-era hero anime, such as the opening 'Gatchaman no Uta' of Tatsunoko's flagship 'Science Ninja Team Gatchaman', the opening 'Yuusha Raideen' and ending 'Ore wa Ko da' of the pioneering giant-robot anime 'Brave Raideen', and the opening 'Ike! Born Free' and ending 'Kyouryuu yo Itsumademo' of 'Kyouryuu Tanken-tai Born Free'.
