Sakurai wrote Kirby Air Riders' main theme lyrics and kept them secret
Masahiro Sakurai revealed in a Nintendo interview that he wrote the lyrics for Kirby Air Riders' main theme and kept them under wraps to avoid the game’s world being tied to a single person. He explained the lyrics have dual meanings—an outward joy of sharing with the machines and an underlying wish for Zorah to regain freedom—and described how Iwadare’s third take was adapted into a Zorah-themed ballad, with the goal of letting kids sing along.
