New theme song of Pokemon Journeys

Pokemon Journeys has put Ash and Goh through the wringer over the course of its hundred episodes, but now, the voice actors behind these characters are being given a new challenge: singing the theme song of the series.

Since the very beginning of the Pokemon anime, Rica Matsumoto has provided the voice of Ash Ketchum, referred to as Satoshi in the original Japanese version. The English voice of Ash has had three different voice actors bring him to life — Veronica Taylor, Kayzie Rogers and Sarah Natochenny.

With Goh being a relatively new character to the series, Yamashita has only just begun voicing Ash’s right-hand man.
