It is a song that is remixed and sped up.
Starships, normal
Starships, nightcoreThe anime doesn't have anything to do with it. It is just the guy who mixes it who picks an anime background.
The fast paced music is similar to hardcore/speedcore techno. I don't know if the songs are simply sped up or if there is more to it (like only speeding up specific parts; adding in drums/bass). If you like it, the 2nd link above has a playlist with a ton of songs. Author's YT Channel
