Toho Co., Ltd. has set a 10th-anniversary version of “You Say Run,” the “My Hero Academia” theme, pairing composer Hayashi Yuki with German band Electric Callboy, with a global release set for Sept. 22.

The reworked track debuted live at the “My Hero Academia in Concert” show in London on Sept. 20 ahead of the wider rollout. Electric Callboy, known for songs including “Hypa Hypa” and its Babymetal collaboration “Ratatata,” features Kevin Ratajczak and Nico Sallach, who connected with Hayashi after he wrote English lyrics for the anniversary version. Toho’s music team had been looking for international artists who could bring powerful shouts and melodic vocals in keeping with the show’s high-energy tone, which led to the Electric Callboy pairing.
