Icon-fourzeThis article is about a theme song in Kamen Rider Fourze.

Switch On! is an opening theme (OP) from Kamen Rider Fourze. It was performed by Anna Tsuchiya. "Switch On!" debuted on the Oricon's daily charts at number 15, while its music video hit number 3 on the Rekochoku video download charts.[1] The single ultimately peaked at number 13 on the Oricon's Weekly Charts and 24 on the Billboard Japan Hot 100.

The single was initially scheduled to be released on October 26, 2011.[2] However its release, along with the release of Maki Ohguro's balladic version of "Anything Goes!", were pushed back by a month for unknown reasons.

  • Lyrics = Shoko Fujibayashi
  • Composer = tatsuo (of everset)
  • Arranger = tatsuo (of everset), (Nippon Columbia Version: Mr.Dr and Kouji Ide), (Nippon Crown Version: D.C.O), (Rider Chips Version: Cher Watanabe)
  • Singer = Anna Tsuchiya, (Nippon Columbia Version: Kanoko Kodera), (Nippon Crown Version: Keiko Furuya), Rider Chips

Development[]

Tsuchiya decided to collaborate with the Kamen Rider Series after her son became a fan of the previous series Kamen Rider OOO, and she had watched the series as a child herself. She was also glad that she was going to perform the song for the franchise's 40th anniversary.[3][4][2] The song was written by Shoko Fujibayashi (lyrics) and tatsuo of the band everset (composition and arrangement).

Music Video[]

Somewhere at night, Fourze receives a transmission and activates Radar. However, what he received was not a call, but a live concert performance of Tsuchiya performing the song. As the song continues, Fourze manages to project the concert, and dances along. As it ends, Fourze performs his signature "kita" and skips away happy.

High! Broadcasting from school,
burger in one hand, feeling hungry everyday
It’s not yet enough, my dreams are large-sized
Come on, switch On

Retro-future—those are rejected!
An image I just thought of, blast off to the future
There is no meaning to formulas

Don’t think you know just by listening to people
Challenge boldly, toughly

Destroy the confines with your own hands
(Wow wow wow Switch ON)
Step up higher than yesterday
Go-Win! Go-Win! My friends
Break through even the atmosphere
(Wow wow wow Switch ON)
Countdown to the start of the journey
Unstopping, growing, thrilling schooldays!

Wow wow wow (Fourze!)
Wow wow wow (OH YEAH!)

Yes! I’m Spring-ING; fearing nothing,
that is my engine
No one can stop me, not reading the atmosphere
Come on, switch on

The unknown is so good, it fires up the mood
Apollo Space Shuttle, Hayabusa, Hubble,
Rockets of textbook doodles

Not just seeing, but an interactive attraction
Follow me boys and girls

Common sense is determined by someone on their own
(Wow wow wow Switch ON)
Stick out and rank up
Go-Win! Go-Win! My friends
Linking with the only one called you
(Wow wow wow Switch ON)
Countdown to freedom
Daily worries, growing, super electrifying schooldays!

Because an end will come one day to things started
With your all in the time limited to “now”…Run up

Destroy the confines with your own hands
(Wow wow wow Switch ON)
Step up higher than yesterday
Go-Win! Go-Win! My friends
Break through even the atmosphere
(Wow wow wow Switch ON)
Countdown to the start of the journey
Unstopping, growing, thrilling,
Daily worries, growing, super wonderful schooldays!

Wow wow wow (Fourze!)Wow wow wow (Let’s go!)
Wow wow wow (Fourze!) Wow wow wow (FOURZE YEAH!)
