The quickest way to put it: the Japanese vocal themes in 'Pokémon the Movie: I Choose You!' are anchored by Rica Matsumoto — she sings the film’s nostalgic opening material that harkens back to 'Mezase Pokémon Master' — while Shinji Miyazaki composed much of the film’s score. Different language releases can use alternate arrangements or localized music, so you might hear variations depending on where you watched it.

If you want certainty about every single song and singer (insert songs, end credits, regional promos), the movie’s end credits or the official soundtrack listing are your best friends. I like to queue up the soundtrack after a watch and pick out little motifs Miyazaki reuses; it’s a nice way to relive the movie without the visuals, and it makes me want to hunt down live renditions or covers from other fans.

I laugh a little when the first bars kick in, because it’s such a deliberate nod to the past. In the Japanese version of 'Pokémon the Movie: I Choose You!' the main nostalgic theme is sung by Rica Matsumoto — she’s essentially Pokémon music royalty thanks to the original anime opening. The movie blends her vocals with Shinji Miyazaki’s sweeping score, so you get both a vocal theme and the orchestral stuff that carries the scenes.

Watching the English dub, though, can be a different musical experience. Localizations sometimes change or rearrange themes, and dubs might highlight different musical pieces rather than one single singer the way the Japanese release does. If you’re into credits or want to stream the soundtrack, look up the official soundtrack listing for 'Pokémon the Movie: I Choose You!' on services like Spotify or the film’s end credits; they’ll show who performed each track. As a fan, I like comparing versions — spotting how a single motif gets reworked across languages makes rewatching the movie almost like discovering a new layer each time.

I still get chills hearing that opening — it hits the nostalgia sweet spot. For the Japanese release of 'Pokémon the Movie: I Choose You!' the throwback theme is performed by Rica Matsumoto, who’s famously the voice of Ash (Satoshi) in the original series and sang the classic 'Mezase Pokémon Master' back in the day. For the movie they leaned into that nostalgic vibe with a 20th-anniversary style take that brings her voice front and center. The overall film score — the background music and emotional cues throughout the movie — was handled by longtime Pokémon composer Shinji Miyazaki, so even when it isn’t a vocal theme you can feel that familiar Pokémon musical DNA.

If you watched an English dub or an international version, you might notice slightly different vocal arrangements or music cues; local releases sometimes swap or adapt music for regional tastes, and promotional trailers occasionally use other songs. If you want the exact track names and performers beyond Rica Matsumoto and Miyazaki (like insert songs or end-credit singers), the easiest route is to check the movie’s soundtrack credits or a reliable soundtrack listing — the credits at the end of 'Pokémon the Movie: I Choose You!' list every performer and composer. Hearing Rica’s voice again in that celebratory style always makes me smile, like a comfy old hoodie — perfect for a rewatch with popcorn.

The soundtrack for the first Pokémon movie, 'Pokémon: The First Movie - Mewtwo Strikes Back,' is packed with nostalgic gems that still hit hard today. The opening theme, 'Pokémon Theme,' by Jason Paige is iconic—anyone who grew up with the anime can probably sing it word for word. There's also 'Don't Say You Love Me' by MTR, a pop-rock track that played during the credits, and 'If Only Tears Could Bring You Back' by Midnight Sons, which added this bittersweet vibe to the ending. The score by Shinji Miyazaki is just as memorable, with pieces like 'Mewtwo's Theme' capturing the movie's darker tone perfectly. Beyond the English tracks, the Japanese version has some deep cuts worth mentioning. 'Mezase Pokémon Master' (the original theme) and 'Kaze to Issho ni' by Rica Matsumoto are classics. The blend of orchestral music and catchy J-pop really set the tone for the whole franchise. Honestly, listening to it now takes me right back to being a kid, clutching my Pikachu plushie and pretending to be Ash.
