Game appearances

Kirby's Dream Land

This theme first appeared in Kirby's Dream Land, as the staff credits theme.

Kirby Super Star / Kirby Super Star Ultra

In Kirby Super Star and Kirby Super Star Ultra, this theme appears for the Spring Breeze credits. It can be found as Music 12 in the Kirby Super Star Sound Test, Music 15 of Kirby Super Star Ultra's Sound Test, and track 7 on the Kirby Ultra Super Deluxe Original Sound Track.

Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition

In Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition, in addition to its appearances in the appropriate Classic Titles, this theme is used for the credits of New Challenge Stages, combined with "Sky Tower". The title on the Playbutton included with Kirby Star Allies: The Original Soundtrack is バイバイカービィまたあした! (Bye Bye Kirby, See You Tomorrow!)

It is also featured in "Dream a New Dream for Tomorrow", one of the bonus tracks of the Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition Compilation Soundtrack.

Kirby's Blowout Blast

There are three distinct uses of the theme in Kirby's Blowout Blast, as follows:

  • The original theme from Kirby's Dream Land is used for the main credits sequence.
  • An intense minor-key version of the song is used in the Secret Path. On Kirby Star Allies: The Original Soundtrack, this remix is titled あしたはあしたのだいけっせん (A Great Battle for Tomorrow).
  • A rearrangement of the theme is used for the secret credits theme.

Kirby Star Allies

There are four distinct uses of the theme in Kirby Star Allies, as follows:

Kirby's Dream Buffet

In Kirby's Dream Buffet, A New Wind for Tomorrow can be unlocked to play in races, on the Home Table, or in Free Rolling upon reaching a Gourmet Rank of 132. It is known in this game as "Kirby's Dream Land: Memorial Song 2", and is taken directly from Kirby's Dream Land.

Super Smash Bros. series

Super Smash Bros Ultimate

SmashWiki has more information about this subject here.

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, this theme is combined with "Milky Way Wishes: Staff Credits" to form the remixed track "Staff Credits - Kirby's Dream Land". It is prominently used for the credits when completing Classic Mode as Kirby.

Other appearances

The Japanese version of Kirby: Right Back at Ya! has a remix of the theme, that first plays when Kirby is catching up with King Dedede and Escargoon on The Kirby Derby - Part II. It also plays during the last scene of Fitness Fiend. Another ballad based remix is also heard in various episodes such as Waddle While You Work, when King Dedede resolves to never go hungry again in the field.

The song was arranged and performed in the Kirby 25th Anniversary Orchestra Concert (Track 13: "A New Wind for Tomorrow"), as well as being incorporated in the medley of Track 1: "Big Band Kirby" of the Kirby Memorial Arrangements. In addition, it's featured in Track 4: "Tomorrow's Tea Times" of The Sound of Kirby Café 2.

The theme was performed live twice at the Kirby 30th Anniversary Music Festival. The "A Great Battle for Tomorrow" arrangement was the last song of the Beyond the 25th Anniversary medley, along with "Twinkle☆Stars", "Kirby Battle Royale Main Theme", "The Heroes' Challenge! Quest Board / Story Quest" from Super Kirby Clash, and "The Battle of Deeply Bonded Allies". In addition, the original version, based on its arrangement from the Kirby Memorial Arrangements album, was also the last song in the Kirby Endings medley, where it was combined with "Milky Way Wishes: Staff Credits", "Project K-64", the ending theme from Kirby: Squeak Squad, "Returning to Dream Land", and "Soaring Determination: No Night is Eternal".

Names in other languages

Language Name Meaning
Japanese あしたはあしたのかぜがふく
Ashita wa Ashita no Kaze ga Fuku
"Tomorrow's wind blows tomorrow"
The Japanese title is Kirby's motto in the Japanese media, and was first given as the track's name on the Kirby Ultra Super Deluxe Original Sound Track.
As a figure of speech, it's roughly equivalent to the English phrase "Tomorrow is a new day".
