The Pokémon Company have revealed that the Ending Theme of Pokémon Detective Pikachu is ELECTRICITY featuring Lil Uzi Vert, by HONEST BOYZ® (a Japanese hip-hop band) and Lil Uzi Vert (an american rapper). Quite interestingly, the song was produced by none other than Pharrell Williams!
The label (LDH Music) reveals that the song will be used as Ending Theme for both the International and Japanese versions of the movie. The song will be released worldwide, under a “major label”.
Pokémon Detective Pikachu opens on May 3rd in Japan, and May 10th in many countries around the world.
