Four bars in and your shoulders are already moving. Okamura Yasuyuki built a horn line and a clipped funk guitar riff so shameless that it did the impossible: it made an anime opening feel like a 1970s Japanese soul 45 that had been sitting in a crate waiting for someone to find it. Anyone who watched Space Dandy in 2014 has this song wired directly into their spine, because it is the sound that kicked off every single week of that show, and the falsetto in the hook is the part you hum in public without meaning to. This is that track standing on its own, no episode attached, no plot to sit through. Just the strut. Put it on loud and try not to walk differently afterward.

Viva Namida is a one-episode music video set to Yasuyuki Okamura's song of the same name. It also doubles as a promotional piece for Space☆Dandy, the television anime series from studio BONES. The short pairs Okamura's track with animation while serving as advertising for that show.
