Pac-Man is currently celebrating its 42nd Anniversary, which is frankly insane when you really stop and think about it. As part of the celebration, Bandai Namco has teamed up with Epic Games to launch a Fortnite collaboration, due to kick off on June 2nd.
That's not all, though. An official theme song has been launched for the Pac-Man franchise, and we have to say, we absolutely love it. The song was written by Yoshihito Yano of Bandai Namco Studios Inc. and Kazuhito Udetsu of Bandai Namco Entertainment Inc., and performed by Tokyo-based artist Kaho Kidoguchi.
You can check out the theme song and its accompanying video via the below YouTube embed. We're getting some serious Persona vibes from both the song itself and the video animations; maybe it's the prominent yellow that's present throughout... Who knows!
Let us know what you think of the Pac-Man theme song in the comments below!

What did I just watch?
My eyes. My ears. My brain. Everything hurts.
Soon Namco will be celebrating Pac-Mom’s first anniversary.. 😝
Dang! Love it — really impressive combination of animations styles.
@Kiz3000 Namco hopes it’s a good pain, lol
This is the definition of "Ayo these edibles are s**t"
The only Pac-Man theme I choose to recognize is about 3 seconds long and it plays when you start the arcade game.
'Pac Man Fever' is the literal greatest video game song ever recorded. There is no reason to toy with absolute perfection.
@NinChocolate With a Lawsuit-dodging reskin of the Bally-Midway Classic, which is legally owned by AtGames, Ms. Pac-Man. Yeah, they're gonna do that; Turn the Ms. Pac-Man game into a Pac-Mom game, and then AtGames would try to sue, only to not have a case.
I dig it. Reminds me of the songs in the Katamari series.
Gross. Simply gross.
I love it…especially when the games of the 80s the foundation of today’s games are built upon are celebrated , I am a proud veteran gamer 57 I remember the days at the arcade playing this when it came out also a survivor of the great video game crash to see PAC Man survive and thrive makes my ❤️❤️❤️❤️Full.
I became a pac man fan after I started using him as my main in Smash 4/5. I love this design and song and I hope we see more from the guy! He makes.me laugh
Persona fan listens to pop music for the first time: "getting some serious Persona vibes from this"
That video needs a seizure warning 😵
this is great!! I actually like pac-land and super pac-man more than any of the other pac-man series of games.. still a lot of fun!
Nope, still WAAYYY behind the original "Pac-Man Fever" from back in the day. It may not be official, but it's still the best.
I'm SO hyped for the museum collection on Friday! Haven't played any of the games on it other than the original Pac-Man so is 13 new games for me.
(Have played some games that aren't in it and loved them... Pacman VS, Pacman 99 and Pacman Championship Edition 2)
What the heck is this and why can't I stop tapping my toes to it?
@Sonos I love the animation.... this song is ok.. but the lyrics leave much to be desired. Pac-Man fever on the other hand... is awesome! They should have just got the rights to remix and update that.
That song is terrible. The lyrics are atrocious. Ugh.
Better than that lame Pac-Man Fever.
Eat 'em up! Eat 'em up!
Those lyrics were really generic and bad lol.
Why are they even celebrating the 42nd anniversary? Such a specific thing to celebrate
Buckner & Garcia version EOT.

I mean, the tune is modern, obviously. But, the lyrics are kind of blah. The older song really got at the craze of playing the original game.
Sorry, this new PacMan song sucks.
The 80s track is way better!
I mean, at least it isn't
"The Pac is back! Ghosts chomping at his feet- Pac's our hero. Pac just can't be beat! (Yeah!)"
This felt like an hour long, THANK YOU I LOVE IT
This is awful. Worst than most kids shows
That was three minutes of my life that i'll never get back............................and i have no complaints haha
official themes song of what?
its like a mashup of konami krazy racers and chocobo gp
