Never Say Never, also known as the DANGANRONPA Anthem, is the titular opening theme throughout the Danganronpa series. The vocalized version of the song is featured in all episodes of Danganronpa: The Animation excluding Episode 01 and Episode 04.
It was first available from Japanese rental stores on the Danganronpa: The Animation SPECIAL SAMPLER DISC on August 14th, 2013. Later, it was released on August 28th, 2013 in the OST for the anime and featured on the Bonus Disc in Volume 1 of special edition Blu-Ray releases of Danganronpa: The Animation, which was released on the same day as the OST.
While not only having it vocalized, there are many other versions of the DANGANRONPA Anthem that are instrumental and remixed in some games in the past or until now.

(Danganronpa)
Reality slips far away.
Fiction comes alive, we start to play it.
Hope is no more behind a closed door
as we drift away from where we were before.
Hope and hopelessness become one.
It's all meaningless, we've already begun.
Yup, we are all one in the same.
Never opposites, we play the same game.
Walk a thin line between hope and despair.
Running from the truth but it's already here.
Told so many lies, I dunno if they can find me.
Only one life to live, so choose wisely.
Heads or tails? Do you even know what side you're on?
Does it really matter if it's on the same coin?
If you wanna achieve, you gotta believe.
The time: right now. There's the door, here's the keys.
The search is so very long, we let it fade away.
There's a ray of hope beyond despair.
Move on, look for the truth in this world.
(Such dedication got to swear the oath)
Break through the confusion, find a solution.
Beat the twisted evil things.
Just do it, go for it...
Never (say never,
never say never,
never say never)
(For yourself or do it for your folks)
Break through the confusion, find a solution
Beat the twisted evil things
Just do it, go for it
Never
(Ya gotta believe, let's keep hope alive)

(Danganronpa)
Reality slips far away.
Fiction comes alive, we start to play it.
Hope is no more behind a closed door
as we drift away from where we were before.
Hope and hopelessness become one.
It's all meaningless, we've already begun.
Yup, we are all one in the same.
Never opposites, we play the same game.
So I listen to the world, know right from wrong.
Stay focused so I can stay strong.
If you ever wonder why I'm trapped inside
it's probably just because I told a pack of lies.
Maybe a dream, maybe it was pride,
maybe for myself, I often wonder why.
Until our very last breath,
We're running after life, trying to beat death.
Walk a thin line between hope and despair.
Running from the truth but it's already here.
Told so many lies, I dunno if they can find me.
Only one life to life, so choose wisely.
Heads or tails? Do you even know what side you're on?
Does it really matter if it's on the same coin?
If you wanna achieve, you gotta believe.
The time: right now. There's the door, here's the keys.
The search is so very long, we let it fade away.
There's a ray of hope beyond despair.
Move on, look for the truth in this world.
(Only one life to live, so choose wisely.)
Break through the confusion, find a solution.
Beat the twisted evil things.
Just do it, go for it...
Never (say never,
never say never,
never say never)
(Danganronpa)
Don't be hopeless, stay focused,
got to grind every time so they open,
got to climb really high where the rope is,
it is written in the sky, see the opus.
And you know this.
Please don't lose hope.
Try to progress, keep your eye on the scope —
for yourself, or do it for your folks
Dedication (Danganronpa) got to swear the oath
From this day forth, stay on course,
no despair, gotta have a heart,
take no loss, every step cost,
everybody wanna see if you'll fall off.
Keep your eye on the prize.
Been through the worst, even cried on the side.
No lie, never know what you will find
Got to believe, let's keep hope alive.
L'espoir d'un homme fait le désespoir d'un autre.
Il y en a toujours un qui se sacrifie.
Nos souhaits profonds sont tous les même.
Ne perdez pas espoir, gardez toujours espoir.
Don't throw yourself away, wipe all tears away
Even if the future seems uncertain
Survive... find true happiness in this world
(Such dedication got to swear the oath)
So have strong intention and change direction
'cause the sky is the limit
Just do it, go for it
Never
(For yourself or do it for your folks)
Break through the confusion, find a solution
Beat the twisted evil things
Just do it, go for it
Never
(Ya gotta believe, let's keep hope alive)
