Lyrics

Japanese

胸を焦がす 正義の魂
ワルドック軍団 倒す為
山をも砕く そのパワー
ギャンブラーZで発進だ!

命を賭けた必殺の ロイヤルストレートフラッシュ!
叩け!砕け!連チャンバズーカ

(セリフ)オレの目の黒いうちは
     イカサマなんて絶対にさせないぜ!?
     おっと、115番台STARTしました~。

ワルドックの野望 砕くまで
オヤジ見てくれ!俺はやる!!

世界中のエネルギー この腕に集めて光る!!
唸れ!叫べ!!ギャンブラー  Z

To overthrow WARUDOC's evil army
Harnessing power to crush mountains

Bright energy from around the world is gathered in my arm!!
Growl! Shout!! GAMBLER Z

Song Production Information

pop'n music 1&2 Official Website

A heavily anime song... I created this song in response to the development team's request.
Since the designer MZD and lyricist RYO got carried away creating detailed character settings and worldview, I quickly made this song.
The lyrics are completed up to the second verse, so I'd like to release them in a CD if there's a chance.

pop'n music original soundtrack

This is the story behind this song. Although we didn't plan to make this song during the beginning of development, ANIME HERO was continuously brought up.. from the development team's strong request, I reluctantly started making it. When I initially presented it, I intended to say "you see, it doesn't work, right?", but despite my prediction, it ended up being well received. Songs are mysterious, and start to walk alone once they're completed. When the lyrics, song, and animations were completed, this song ended up endlessly looping in my mind. A freelance arranger and my friend, Koga, was in charge of the arrangement and game data, RYO was in charge of the lyrics and character in pop'n music 2, and pop'n music's main programmer, NARAMCHA, was in charge of vocals.
