Have you seen Wreck-It Ralph?
Have you all watched Disney's "Wreck-It Ralph," which was released in 2012?
A sequel, "Ralph Breaks the Internet," was produced in 2018, making it a popular Disney series! ♡
The protagonist of "Wreck-It Ralph" is Ralph, a large man who lives as a villain in the game world.
The heroine is Vanellope, a girl who is also a character from a racing game.
They usually act as characters in games that children play, but
actually, each of them has their own will, and after the arcade closes, they deepen their interactions in a place that connects various game worlds (Game Terminal Station)... that’s the setting! ♩
The appearance of real characters was also a hot topic*
"Wreck-It Ralph," an unconventional sci-fi work featuring game characters as the main stars, became a hot topic because characters from real games like Bowser from Super Mario and Sonic also appeared! ♩
In the sequel, Disney princesses are also gathered together! ♡
(A sight that fans can’t get enough of...!)
The movies, combined, surpassed 7 billion yen in box office earnings and became a huge hit!
Ralph and Vanellope's bumpy duo was
“So cute♡”
“I cried at their mutual love!”
and received great acclaim.
I've seen it too, and I remember that not only was the setting and story interesting,
but the relationship between Ralph, who wants to live a peaceful daily life, and Vanellope, who desires change and excitement, felt very real and a bit bittersweet...!
In this article, I will introduce the theme songs and insert songs of "Wreck-It Ralph."*
[First installment] Theme song of Wreck-It Ralph "Sugar Rush"
The theme song for the first installment of Wreck-It Ralph is "Sugar Rush" by AKB48.
It features a pop melody that resembles a girl-oriented game world, with AKB members wearing colorful wigs and clothes in the cute music video! *
(It seems that it was directed by Mika Ninagawa!)
By the way, this song was not only for the Japanese dub but was also a universal theme song.
It's amazing to think that AKB sang the ending theme heard by people all over the world! ♡

The theme song for the second installment, Ralph Breaks the Internet, is sung by the American band Imagine Dragons.
