OPC Hits: Daiki Ise, "Nanja Monja Ninja Matsuri"

Non-English and non-Pinoy tracks rarely appear on the OPC Hits charts, but occasionally there are some really catchy tracks that make it to the list (Girls' Generation comes to mind for K-Pop). One of these really catchy tracks is the closing theme to the current Super Sentai series Shuriken Sentai Ninninger. It follows the footsteps of another Japanese track and Sentai theme song, Hideaki Takatori's "Minna Atsumare Kyoryuger," which became an OPC10 Overall Pick more than two years ago. Here's Daiki Ise's "Nanja Monja Ninja Matsuri" (translated as "What's That?! A Ninja Festival!") at #7 this week:
