Genkimono de Ikou! (元気者で行こう!; Let's Go Cheerfully!) is the eleventh single (eighth major label single) released by Mano Erina. The single was released in 2 Limited Editions, and regular editions; limited A coming with a bonus DVD.
The title track was used in commercials for Nissin Foods, Hakusui's High Sour, and Luna Luna's women's medical website. These products are featured in the Director's Cut Version of the music video. The B-side was used as the theme song of the movie Kaidan Shin Mimi Bukuro - Kaiki, in which Mano starred.
The music video itself was directed by Tsutsumi Yukihiko. The Director's Cut Version features Mano and "Genkimono Man" trying to encourage people through tough times with the special "Genkimono" drink. The video is in comic style and the dialogue appears as speech bubbles punctuated by energetic dance scenes.
Former Hello Pro Egg members Saho Akari, Kikkawa Yuu, Takeuchi Akari, and Sato Ayano appear as back-up dancers in the PV.
