My Hero Academia's Iconic Theme Gets Global Remix

A decade after its premiere, "My Hero Academia" is celebrating its 10th anniversary with a reimagined version of its iconic theme song, "You Say Run." Released globally on September 22nd, the new track features a collaboration between original composer Yuki Hayashi and the German band Electric Callboy.

This anniversary version blends Electric Callboy's distinct mix of EDM and pop hooks with the song's powerful orchestral arrangement. The band's vocalists, Kevin Ratajczak and Nico Sallach, expressed their excitement, calling the melody "powerful and uplifting."

The collaboration was initiated by Toho's music team, who sought international artists capable of delivering the high-energy vocals suited for the anime. Hayashi noted that the track has been reborn with "an unprecedented surge of energy" through this fusion.

Bones Film also released a new illustration to commemorate the occasion, depicting Izuku Midoriya. The franchise's manga, which concluded in August 2024, has sold over 100 million copies globally. The anime itself has spanned eight seasons and numerous films, solidifying its status as a major international hit. The 10th-anniversary project will continue through 2026, with further announcements expected. "You Say Run -10th Anniversary Ver.-" is available on major platforms worldwide.
