Rascal the Raccoon (あらいぐまラスカル Araiguma Rasukaru?) is a Japanese anime series by Nippon Animation.[1] It is based on the 1963 autobiographical novel Rascal, A Memoir of a Better Era by Sterling North.

Music

The series uses two pieces of theme music for the opening theme and the ending theme. The opening theme song is called "Rock River e" (ロックリバーヘ Rokku Ribâ e?, lit. "To Rock River"), and the ending theme is "Oide Rascal" (おいでラスカル Oide Rasukaru?, lit. "Rascal Come"), both sung by the Japanese vocalist by Kumiko Oosugi. The opening theme was later used as the main gameplay theme for the 1981 arcade game Frogger.
