Lyrics

Once again the time has come
My battle code has been switched on
Hence the beast is unleashed deep inside
My basic instict gets me ready for a ride

Better run from me if you are scared to look into my eyes
know you head to toe and I'm ready for the combat, one on one

Draw your sword Kill your fear
My neuron engine whispers in my ear
Draw your sword Go for broke
As if a spell was cast upon my soul

Better give me your best shot or you'll be history, my friend
going all the way 'cause I've waited for the chance to be No.1

Draw your sword Kill your fear
My neuron engine whispers in my ear
Draw your sword Fight to score
The battle spell was programmed in my core

Song Production Information

Kozo Nakamura

It has been a while since I had the opportunity to work with Anna Vieste, so I made a hard rock song suitable for her.
I wanted to make it sound as if it were performed by four people (vocal, guitar, bass, and drums), so the arrangement has a fairly small number of notes.
The sound is thin because of this, but the vocals have a powerful presence that won't bother or make you feel that way at all.
Also, the guitar backing of these songs is pleasant to play by itself, but the rhythm may be a bit difficult to play in the game - I'm sure it will be pleasant when you can do it.

Video Production Information

HiWA

This is my second work for Gitadora. This time, the request was for a "Musashi vs. Kojiro" look, so I tried to make it look like that.
The other day I played Gitadora for the first time at an arcade. It was a blast.
I'll do my best with this work.
