And the theme song of this anime "butterfly" is also a classic in the classic, Koji Wada interpreted the blood and passion of this song to the fullest, and even let people hear this song to be able to return to the world of Digimon, Andada Koji's voice is like a key, opening up the memories of countless people in the same year.
Koji Wada
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="2" > early confusion</h1>
Unlike most singers with musical backgrounds, Koji Wada was not born into a musical family and did not have a lot of money to sustain his dreams. Or, for his early life, music has nothing to do with him, he needs to work for a long time to survive, and there are not many choices left for himself.
The early days were not easy to follow
When he was with his friends before, he heard the guitar played for him by his friends, and he was immediately full of interest. Later, while working as a marketer in a company, he thought about the path of music. For the current life, it is too monotonous, and there is really no dream to speak of. With this kind of life, Koji Wada had had enough, so he chose an even more difficult path: to become a singer.
All attempts seem to be fruitless
He came to Tokyo alone, staying in the cheapest hotel every day, hoping to find a music-related job, interviewing extras for countless TV series and movies, and giving his own records to various crews, hoping to be appreciated. However, for a long time, these attempts were like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no news. Faced with the pressure of reality, Koji Wada began to waver and began to think about whether to give up this path.
Koji Wada and Digimon
When he was most confused, his father gave him the courage to keep going. His father said he could choose to return home from Tokyo at any time, but would regret it in the future if he gave up his ideals so easily. As a result, Koji Wada readjusted his mentality and continued to create and experiment. These words also became the driving force that inspired him throughout his life.

Finally, in January 1999, Koji Wada completed his debut novel, "Butterfly" came into being, and became the theme song of the anime Digimon. Since then, he has begun his formal creative journey, successively composing the songs "ターゲット~赤い衝撃~", "The Biggest Dreamer" and was also the theme song of the popular anime and other film and television works at that time, and the peak of his life came. In the songs he composed, he integrated his own understanding of his own life and the plot of hard struggle in the early predicament, and every sentence was a sense of truth and deeply moving.
The peak of life is coming
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="2" > fatal blow in 2003</h1>
In early 2003, Koji Wada was diagnosed with throat cancer, and the cancer cells had begun to metastasize. His health deteriorated, and as a singer, his throat and vocal cords were his greatest assets, and after his illness, his singing voice was no longer so clear and his high voice became difficult. It seems that he can no longer bring joy to his fans and audience. So he decided to quit the music scene.
The fate of Koji Wada is lamentable

Like Koji Wada, who was stranded and confused alone in Tokyo, his musical dreams are now threatened again, and even his life is left. Such a severe illness and the onset of the disease in the place where the singer cares most seem to be about to bring about the end of this story. However, there is always hope, and just as his father inspired him before, Kōji Wada is still unwilling to give up all that he loves.
Koji Wada makes a comeback
So in October 2013, he announced his comeback. At that time there was a sensation on social networks, and people seemed to see the plot in Digimon that happened in reality. A singer with a mortal fate, with his voice that has been severely weakened due to his illness, brings his strength and hope to all those who love anime and love his music.
On April 3, 2016, Koji Wada passed away.
On April 3, 2021, Koji Wada celebrated his 5th anniversary, commemorating the singer who once brought hope and happiness to countless people.
