Wandaba

refers to the collective term for the specific background music used by the defense team in the Ultraman Series when performing their missions. These music pieces are characterized by the inclusion of a "" choral section, typically performed by male choruses.
Currently, this term is also used to refer to situations where this type of background music is used in specific contexts. It has become a widely recognized term in the Japanese industry.
==Overview==
"Wandaba" can be traced back to the prelude of the insert song "ULTRA SEVEN" from the 1967 series Ultraseven, as the background music (BGM) used in that song received positive feedback. Toru Fuyuki, who was responsible for music production in the series, was commissioned to create a "similar concept BGM" for use in scenes of the MAT's mobilization and attack in the 1971 series Return of Ultraman.https://prtimes.jp/main/html/rd/p/000000248.000019470.htmlhttps://hobby.red-cm.com/sfx_tokusatsu/アニソン・特撮主題歌の巨匠③「冬木透」～1935-ロ
Subsequently, "Wandaba" began to be used in subsequent series. Various variations of theme music also emerged. Since then, a similar style of BGM has been frequently used in some Japanese tokusatsu or anime works, serving as a form of homage or parody.
