It was announced on March 29th, 2024, that the utaite 9Lana, who primarily operates on TikTok and Youtube, will be making her major debut with Sony Music. Her debut song "Let me battle" is going to be used as the new ending theme for the TV Tokyo Network anime Pocket Monsters (airs every Friday at 6:55pm), and will be produced by Giga & TeddyLoid.

This highly surprising choice has a chameleon voice, being able to speak and sing in 9 entirely different ways, and is known for an expressiveness that almost makes you think the protagonist in the lyrics has taken possession of her. Her growling voice is particularly well regarded. Since the end of last year, she released 3 original songs in rapid succession; "Migi pocket", "Balalaika" and "Game", and was enjoying a steady increase in listeners as she announced her major debut.

"Let me battle", which is going to be the ending theme for the Pocket Monsters anime, was written by Giga & TeddyLoid, who have multiple hit songs on their resume. The lyrics are by TOPHAMHAT-KYO from FAKE TYPE. The song will premiere on April 12th, when the new chapter "Terastal Debut" begins, and will be available digitally on the 19th.

9Lana commented that it's such an honor both to do the ending theme for the Pocket Monsters anime, as well as to get to sing a song written by people she looks up to as much as Giga-san, TeddyLoid-san and TOPHAMHAT-KYO-san, that she still almost thinks this is just a dream.

A comment from 9Lana:
The first Christmas gift I ever got from Santa was a Pokémon video game, and I remember playing it for hours every day because it was so much fun I didn't know when to stop. It's such an honor both to do the ending theme for the Pocket Monsters anime, as well as to get to sing a song written by people I looks up to as much as Giga-san, TeddyLoid-san and TOPHAMHAT-KYO-san, that I still think this is just a dream.

9Lana,ソニーミュージックからメジャーデビュー!異例の大抜擢!デビュー曲「Let me battle」がアニメ「ポケットモンスター」エンディングテーマに決定!

プロデューサーはGiga & TeddyLoid!株式会社ソニー・ミュージックレーベルズ

TikTokやYouTubeを中心に活躍中の歌い手9Lana(ヨミ:クラナ)がソニーミュージックからメジャーデビューすることを発表した。9Lanaは様々な歌声を自在に操ることができるマルチな才能を持っており、楽曲ごとに歌詞の主人公が本当に憑依したと感じるほど表現力に長けていることが圧倒的な強みだ。9Lanaは現在、昨年末から短期期間にオリジナル楽曲を3曲配信リリース中。楽曲ごとに表現方法が変わるその歌声に着々とリスナーを獲得している発展途上なアーティストだ。そんな中のメジャーデビューなだけにより一層活躍が楽しみだ。そして、デビュー曲がアニメ「ポケットモンスター」のエンディングテーマと異例の大抜擢。

楽曲タイトルは「Let me battle」。さらに本楽曲のプロデューサーを務めたのは数々のヒット曲を手掛けるGiga& TeddyLoid、作詞はTOPHAMHAT-KYO (FAKE TYPE.)。今回の楽曲を最強メンバーで臨んだという彼らが手掛ける音楽が一体どんなポケモンの世界観を表現するのか、そしてそれを9Lanaがどう歌い上げるのか期待してほしい。今までのアニメ「ポケットモンスター」のエンディングとは全く別物になることは間違いなしだ。楽曲は4月12日(金)の放送時に初公開、楽曲のリリースは4月19日(金)の予定だ。

9Lana
クリスマス、サンタさんからもらった初めてプレゼントがポケモンのゲームでした。ゲームを進めていくのが面白くて、やめ時がわからず一日に何時間もポケモンをしていたことを覚えています。こうしてアニメ「ポケットモンスター」のエンディングテーマを担当させていただけること、Gigaさん、TeddyLoidさん、TOPHAMHAT-KYOさんといった憧れの方々が手がけた楽曲を歌わせていただけることが、本当に光栄で、今もまだ夢のようです。
