INTRODUCTION
My Hero Academia is celebrating its anime's 10th anniversary with a special new version of one of the franchise's most iconic pieces of music.
“You Say Run,” the legendary soundtrack composed by Yuki Hayashi, is returning as “You Say Run -10th Anniversary ver.-” with newly added English vocals.
The special collaboration features Kevin Ratajczak and Nico Sallach of German electronicore band Electric Callboy and will be released worldwide on September 22, 2026.
For longtime My Hero Academia fans, this isn't simply another soundtrack release. It brings a fresh sound to a piece of music that has accompanied some of Deku's most memorable moments throughout the anime.
The collaboration and September 22 release are officially confirmed.
My Hero Academia Brings Back “You Say Run” for Its 10th Anniversary
My Hero Academia began its television anime journey in April 2016, making 2026 the series' 10th anniversary.
To celebrate the milestone, the franchise has been running the “My Hero Academia The Animation 10th Anniversary” project with special releases and events for fans.
One of its latest projects brings new life to “You Say Run,” a track that has become closely associated with the anime over the past decade.
The new recording is officially titled “You Say Run -10th Anniversary ver.-” and combines Yuki Hayashi's famous composition with English vocals from Electric Callboy.
The original anime began in April 2016, while the new track is part of the official 10th-anniversary project.
Electric Callboy Joins Yuki Hayashi
The biggest change in the anniversary version is the addition of English vocals.
Kevin Ratajczak and Nico Sallach from German electronicore band Electric Callboy provide the vocals for the new recording.
According to the official announcement, the idea developed from composer Yuki Hayashi's interest in discovering what “You Say Run” could become if lyrics were added to the original composition.
The production team wanted international performers capable of delivering both powerful vocals and melodic energy while still matching the atmosphere of My Hero Academia.
That search eventually led to Electric Callboy.
The result combines the familiar energy of “You Say Run” with a new vocal performance created specifically for the anime's 10th anniversary.
The official site confirms Kevin Ratajczak and Nico Sallach as the vocalists and explains why Electric Callboy was chosen.

The official music page lists the release for September 22 at midnight in Japan.
New Deku Anniversary Artwork Revealed
The music isn't the only special part of the announcement.
BONES FILM has also created a brand-new illustration for the digital release.
The artwork features Izuku Midoriya, better known as Deku, preparing to unleash a powerful “SMASH.”
Longtime fans may notice something familiar about the composition.
The new artwork intentionally pays homage to the soundtrack cover from My Hero Academia's first anime season, connecting the franchise's beginning in 2016 with its 10th anniversary celebration in 2026.
It's a fitting visual tribute to a decade of Deku's anime journey.
That Season 1 artwork homage is explicitly confirmed by the official announcement.
Why “You Say Run” Is So Important to My Hero Academia

“You Say Run” has been part of My Hero Academia since the anime's early days and became one of the soundtrack pieces most strongly associated with the series.
Composed by Yuki Hayashi, the track has accompanied important moments throughout Deku's journey and has appeared across the television anime and My Hero Academia movies.
Its uplifting build and explosive climax became closely connected with moments when the heroes push beyond their limits.
Revisiting the track for the anime's 10th anniversary therefore feels especially appropriate.
Instead of simply rereleasing the original recording, the anniversary project gives the song a different identity through English vocals while preserving the musical foundation fans already know.
The official announcement describes “You Say Run” as one of the anime's representative tracks and notes its use across eight TV seasons and four theatrical films.
My Hero Academia's 10th Anniversary Continues
The release of “You Say Run -10th Anniversary ver.-” is part of the larger My Hero Academia The Animation 10th Anniversary project.
The anime first premiered in 2016, and its decade-long journey has grown into eight television seasons and four theatrical movies.
Even after reaching such a major milestone, the anniversary celebrations are continuing with special projects designed to look back at the franchise's history.
For fans who grew up watching Deku, Bakugo, All Might and Class 1-A, the new version of “You Say Run” serves as another celebration of that journey.
My Hero Academia's 10th anniversary is bringing one of the anime's most recognizable pieces of music back in a completely new form.
Yuki Hayashi's “You Say Run” already carries years of memories for fans, but adding Electric Callboy's English vocals gives the track a fresh identity for the anniversary celebration.
With a worldwide digital release scheduled for September 22, fans won't have to wait long to hear the complete version.
And with My Hero Academia's 10th-anniversary celebrations continuing, this may not be the last special surprise we see from the franchise.
