ZUTOMAYO's new song “TAIDADA”, the ending theme of the anime DAN DA DAN, has been released digitally. The song is notable for its clever lyricism, cleverly interweaving phrases that reflect the anime's themes while also rhyming with its title. A video of the ending of DAN DA DAN was also released, featuring the daily life of a mysterious animated maneki-neko (waving cat). Struggling with too strong a wind from a hairdryer, adopting a kitten of his own, listening to music, dancing or cooking with no success, everything about this adorable cat is just a little extra when it comes to telling about its surprisingly human-like life. These fun bits are further enhanced by ZUTOMAYO’s fun tune “TAIDADA.” DAN DA DAN is a famous manga series by Yukinobu Tatsu, serialized on Shueisha's Shonen Jump Plus manga application, with more than 4 million copies in circulation. The story follows Momo, a high school girl from a family of mediums, and her classmate Okarun, an occult enthusiast. The two of them started talking after Momo saved Okarun from being bullied. However, an argument occurs between them—Momo believes in ghosts but denies aliens, and Okarun believes in aliens but denies ghosts. To make each other believe in something they deny exists, Momo goes to an abandoned hospital famous for UFO sightings, and Okarun goes to a tunnel said to be haunted. In each place, they encounter mystical entities that are overwhelmingly incomprehensible. Amidst the trouble, Momo awakens her hidden powers and Okarun gains the power of the curse to challenge mystical entities! Could this also be the beginning of a fateful romance!? Now begins a new story about mystical battles and adolescence!
