Yeah, the title has ハイブリッドライズ！(HybridRise!) in it which absolutely means it's associated with Shining Assault Hopper, and I certainly would have recalled if a brand new melody had played for it at any point (it didn't!). The debut of the form even had a really nice imagery of the sun 'rising' behind it, it would have been perfect...!

The show as a whole made (good) use of the same few recurring themes, so any new piece of music (like Zero-Two's insert song, or that BGM during Metal Cluster Hopper's fight with the Ark in episode 37) would really stick out.
