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 the qualifying round common theme song of the BEMANI series.
The song combines the high-speed beat of thrash metal with dance elements, creating a sound that is "unique to BEMANI" music games. The vocalist Yuki Nakashima is the next generation idol of the music game world, creating a positive song full of cuteness. This is a song that every KAC contestant can enjoy, from those just trying out for the KAC to those aiming to become champions.
This is the Enjoy Entry song of The 7th KONAMI Arcade Championship, and it will be unlocked when you play during that period.
Yuki Nakashima
I'm grateful to be in charge of the qualifying round common theme song of the BEMANI KAC series this time!!
I've been very happy this past year just to be involved in the jubeat series which I love, but I didn't expect to sing the common theme song, so when I was first told about it, I was so surprised that I thought it was a dream.
This time, "Be a Hero!" has a very fast tempo and is a song which I think will make you want to excitedly play it in a game!
Everyone can be a hero! Let's grab glory together! It's a song that encourages us to leap towards a new stage! Let's challenge the big stage called KAC and become a hero!!!!
