About TM NETWORK "Get Wild":
The song was released on April 8th, 1987, through EPIC Records. It was written as the ending theme song for the anime television series "City Hunter." Its striking intro starts playing during the very last scene of the episode and transitions into speedy ending and closing credits. This perfectly synched music and anime made a massive impact on viewers. It has since become a beloved national anime song, cherished not only in Japan but also overseas. In 2023, April 8th (the day "Get Wild" was released) was recognized as "Get Wild Day." In October 2024, "Get Wild" surpassed 100 million cumulative streams.
