Japanese

いつかキミが教えてくれた
｢好きという事が一番の才能なんだよ｣
その言葉を胸に抱えて
そうさ 誰よりも高く 遠くまで羽ばたけるんだ

もっと!もっと!もっとだよ
もっと!もっと!もっとでしょ?

ぼくらが歩いてきた証 刻むまで帰れないよ うつむかないよ
栄光つかみ取る用意はできているんだから
その手で熱く!強く!
限  界  突  破  全  身  全  霊  さ!

(Here We Go!)
Be a Hero! I Wanna Be a Hero!
ぼくの命を懸けてでも
勝ち上がる意味が 夢が ここにはあるんだ(Yes!)
Be a Hero! I Wanna Be a Hero!
戦友たちが待ってる
さあ行こう!
英雄に生まれ変われるステージへ

Be a Hero!  I Wanna Be a Hero!
奇跡はここにあるよ
さあ行こう!
英雄に生まれ変われるステージへ

Song Production Information

"Be a Hero!" is a new song written as a qualifying round common theme song of the BEMANI series.

The song fuses the high-speed beat of the thrash metal with dance elements "unique to BEMANI" music games, featuring for the vocals the next generation idol of the music game world, Yuki Nakashima, creating a positive song full of cuteness. From the one who tries to enter KAC to the one who aims to be a champion, it ended being a song that every KAC contestant can enjoy.
This is the Enjoy Entry song of The 7th KONAMI Arcade Championship, it will be unlocked when you play during that period.
