Tatsuro Yamashita to provide theme song for 'Pokémon Concierge,' trailer featuring new song 'Onomatope ISLAND' released
Tatsuro Yamashita's new song "Onomatope ISLAND" has been chosen as the theme song for the new episodes of the Netflix series "Pokémon Concierge," which will begin its exclusive streaming on September 4.


"Pokémon Concierge" is a stop-motion animation produced by Netflix in collaboration with the Pokémon Company. Set on the southern island "Pokémon Resort," where Pokémon visit as guests, the story depicts the growth of Haru (CV: Non), a new concierge, and her partner Psyduck as they interact with the Pokémon. Episodes 1-4 were released in December 2023, and this time, new episodes 5-8, a total of four episodes, will be released.

The theme song for the new episodes, "Onomatope ISLAND," is a heartwarming track featuring a bright vocal performance and melody. Regarding the song, Yamashita commented, "I worked hard to create a piece that could live up to the visuals, which required an incredible amount of effort—one team producing four seconds a day, and even with eight teams, only 30 seconds. For me, the image of Pokémon is encapsulated in the single word 'onomatopoeia.' I wrote this with the hope of brightening up these anxious times, even just a little." A trailer for the animation featuring "Onomatope ISLAND" is now available on YouTube.
The theme song for episodes 1-4 was "Kimi no Ibasho (Have a Good Time Here)," a song by Yamashita's partner, Mariya Takeuchi.

Thank you for allowing me to participate in this wonderful project: a collaboration between Pokémon and dwarf studios, on Netflix.
