A song originally used the children's television program <i>Hirake Ponkikki</i>. The popular CD was originally released in 1975. In 2008, it was released alongside an anime DVD with a music video. The song starts by expressing how Taiyaki-kun and other taiyaki pancakes are fed up with being relentlessly cooked up on a hot plate day after day. In the song, Taiyaki-kun escapes to the sea, but ends up being caught and eaten by an angler. (Source: Pop Matters)
