SPYAIR — the rock band behind unforgettable anime anthems from Haikyuu!!, Gintama, and Bleach — is heading to the Uma Musume stable. Cygames announced at the game’s packed 7th EVENT WORLD TOUR “THE STAGE” in Tokyo on June 21 that SPYAIR will compose and write the Uma Musume Pretty Derby 5.5th anniversary song, with lyrics by MOMIKEN and composition by UZ.
SPYAIR Takes the Stage for Uma Musume’s Anniversary
The announcement dropped live at Ariake Arena during DAY 2 of the Uma Musume 7th EVENT WORLD TOUR “THE STAGE” in TOKYO — one of the biggest gatherings in the game’s history. SPYAIR will provide the 5.5th anniversary song, with MOMIKEN (bass) handling lyrics and UZ (guitar) composing the music. Full details — song title, release date, and in-game rollout — are still to be confirmed by Cygames at a later date.
The collaboration carries serious weight for anime music fans. SPYAIR are veterans of the genre, having delivered “Imagination” for Haikyuu!!, “Samurai Heart” for Gintama, and “I Wanna Be” for Bleach. The band is hitting the ground running in summer 2026 — their track “Awake” just launched as the opening theme for new isekai anime The Exiled Heavy Knight Knows How To Game The System, which premieres on TBS and MBS on July 2.
Title Holder Gallops Into the Stable
The SPYAIR reveal was not the night’s only surprise. A new horse girl character — Title Holder (タイトルホルダー) — was unveiled as a secret guest appearance, voiced by 華成結. Title Holder is based on the real racehorse of the same name, a formidable front-runner who claimed the 2022 Takarazuka Kinen and became celebrated for durability and grit. Expect her in-game persona to carry that same charge-ahead energy.
