Lyrics

Konami, Konami, mania, Konami, mania
Dope, dope, dope! Know what I'm sayin'?!
Style's complicated like trigonometry!! Ha, ha!
Send you runnin' home to your mommy! Mania
Way over your head like a tsunami! (Uh)
Bringin' a mad batch (yeah)
Hiroshi, sound waves (yeah)
(Yeah) For Konami (uh), the beatmania (yeah)...

Mania, mania, (yeah, yeah uh, uh) beatmania (uh), mania (uh, yeah),
Beatmania, the beatmania (yeah), mania, c'mon (uh)

Sound waves! Comin' rugged and rough
You ain't gon' ever get enough my style is untouched
When I got the microphone in my hand
I change and rearrange to a cybernetic (yeah)
Understand my rhymes on the beats
Comin' from outer space to the underground streets
We've got treats like cookies and cakes
Over mad fat tracks that ihsoriH ["Hiroshi" backwards] makes
Ha, Hip-Hop will expand 'cross the land
Like Africa, Asia, UK, Japan!
America! You know they've got flavor!
All around the world is the beatmania... mania...

Song Production Information

This song is used as the title theme of beatmaniaIIDX. A cool freestyle rap leads you to the entrance of the dance music world of KONAMI's beatmania. The small number of sounds, characteristic of hip-hop, and the groove created by the bass is exactly the approach where you can feel the scent of the turntable and analog records in the club scene. After a sound contest between the sampled breakbeats and hit sounds, the groundbeat and distorted vocals captivate listeners with their overwhelming power.

Video Production Information

None.
