EXCITE is an opening theme (OP) from Kamen Rider Ex-Aid. It was performed by Daichi Miura^[1]. Unlike most other opening themes, this song has been used in different ways depending on the episode.

Usages and appearances:

Opening Theme: 2-11, 13-14, 25-44
Ending Theme: 1, 15, 18-24
Insert Song: 12, 16-17, 45

The full version of the song, released on January 18, 2017, comes in 4 different versions. Aside from the CD version and the MV version (which includes a DVD), there are two other limited edition versions that come with a unique toy-exclusive Rider Gashat each, both being variations of the Mighty Action X Gashat. The first is the Theme Song version, which contains a short edit of the theme song, while the second is the Battle Sound version which contains a battle soundtrack from the television series.

All four editions of the single will include the full song, the instrumental version, a Carpainter Remix version, and a Quarta 330's Pixelated Remix version.

Another version of the TV-size cut of EXCITE was included as a playable song in the Taiko no Tatsujin arcade game.

A revised version covered by RIDER CHIPS (titled "EXCITE (Heisei Best RIDER CHIPS ver.)") is released on 'Heisei Kamen Rider 20 Commemoriation Best' album on May 2019.

Other Usages

Ex-Aid with Don Wada — Ex-Aid and Don-chan.

EXCITE makes a guest appearance in the Taiko no Tatsujin franchise, accompanied by a Kamen Rider Ex-Aid costume.

Notes

Much like the fo rm th em es of Kamen Rider OOO and the theme song of Kamen Rider Amazons, the title of this song is meant to sound like the Rider it refers to; in this case the word Excite (エキサイト, Ekisaito) sounding similar to Ex-Aid (エグゼイド, Eguzeido).
During episode 6, an instrumental version of the song plays during an attack by a Collabos Bugster using the DoReMiFa Beat Gashat, and again later over the fight when Brave uses the Gashat.
Continuing the video game references of the show, the first lyric "I Gotta Believe!" is often used by gamers to reference the PlayStation game Parappa the Rapper.
EXCITE is the second Kamen Rider theme that performed at NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen following Shōnen Yo since 12 years ago.
