Comments from Rica Matsumoto:
I've been waiting! I've been looking forward to my turn~♪♪♪ The story of the anime begins when the opening theme song is played! I think it's a magical song that brings you into the world of Pokémon and makes you smile just by listening to it.
I did my best to make everyone happy by ad-libbing harmonies for parts other than my own during the recording. It's been a long time since I've sang a duet. I hope everyone will join Satoshi and Go and will be full of energy.
Rica Matsumoto as Satoshi

Comments from Daiki Yamashita:
Since the beginning broadcast of the TV anime series of Pocket Monsters began, the songs "１・２・３" has been sung together by many different people. I always wondered who would sing the song next!? I was so excited to see who would sing next... But... But now a duet with Satoshi has arrived! I'm so happy!
Anyway, I had a lot of fun singing with Satoshi so you can imagine me singing with him at a karaoke! Let's go one, two, three toward our dreams!
Daiki Yamashita as Go
