Personal comment
"I am extremely honored to be allowed to sing the OP to Pokémon, which I've loved since childhood. I wanted this song to be one that carries encouragement for both Satoshi and his friends' adventure and everyone's love for Pokémon. I'll do my best to be just as passionate as any other Pokémon Trainer around the country! The dream is to become a Pokémon Master. Thank you all very much!"



This news as initially revealed on Tomohisa Sako Christmas concert, and later on his personal Twitter, where it was also mentioned a sneak peak at the song would be shown during the Pokémon New Year's Special. The official anime site's url for the accompanying picture heavily suggests the song will premiere with the episode airing January 15th.
