Electric Callboy Powers Up 'You Say Run' for My Hero Academia's 10th Anniversary
In a colossal celebration of ten years of My Hero Academia, Toho Co., Ltd. has unleashed a remastered version of the iconic track 'You Say Run,' originally composed by Yuki Hayashi. This time, the German electronicore juggernauts, Electric Callboy, lend their powerful vocals to the mix, creating an explosive synergy that fans of both anime and metal can’t afford to miss. The new iteration made its live debut at the My Hero Academia In Concert stage in London on September 20, and the world can now stream it as of today, September 22.
Electric Callboy, known for their adrenaline-fueled hits like 'Hypa Hypa' and their collaboration with Babymetal, brings a fresh twist to Hayashi’s composition. With the addition of English lyrics crafted by the band, this anniversary rendition captures the high-octane essence that has made My Hero Academia a global phenomenon. 'We are beyond excited to have this opportunity to add our vocals to 'You Say Run',' stated Electric Callboy’s Kevin Ratajczak, embodying the enthusiasm of metalheads everywhere.
Ratajczak's bandmate, Nico Sallach, echoed this sentiment, describing the collaboration as a thrilling adventure. “Working on this track was pure fun, and it was a huge honor to collaborate on it. We can’t wait for everyone to hear it!” Their reverence for the original melody is palpable, and it’s clear that they’ve poured their hearts into this project.
The revamped version seamlessly merges the original orchestral grandeur with Electric Callboy’s signature EDM and pop-infused hooks, delivering a reimagining that breathes new life into a piece that is a cornerstone of the franchise. Hayashi expressed his excitement, noting the unprecedented energy this collaboration brings, stating, “I am deeply honored and thrilled to share this special sound born from the intersection of our shared energy.”
As part of the ongoing My Hero Academia The Animation 10th Anniversary project, which will unfold through 2026, this release is accompanied by an exclusive illustration from Bones Film featuring the series’ protagonist, Izuku Midoriya ('Deku'), performing an epic 'SMASH.' Hayashi hopes this track not only crosses borders but resonates with fans across genres.
