About the song
"Ode to Joy" is the ending theme (ED 1) for the 2003 anime film Tokyo Godfathers (東京ゴッドファーザーズ), produced by Madhouse and performed by Moonriders.
It is a cover of Ludwig van Beethoven’s "Ode to Joy" melody, with original lyrics written by the band. The track pairs Moonriders’ eclectic J-Pop style with a classical theme, making it a distinctive closing song for the film.
