Other Usages

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 form themes 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.
