Pachinko and Pachislot’s legendary tracks are on fire! A special feature on god-tier hype songs (61–70)
NoiseMioyamazaki
It was used as the opening theme for the TV anime Hell Girl: Yoi no Togi.
“宵伽” is read as “Yoi no Togi.” Hell Girl has some episodes that are refreshingly cathartic, but also some that leave a bad aftertaste, and even some that make fans themselves go, “Huh?”
This song, which also plays in the pachinko machines, is familiar to those who know the anime.
But I think the melody resonates even with people who don’t.
The lyrics, which push in with “I’m thinking of you—surely you feel the same, right?” are almost scary in their intensity…
Go!Go! SEASTORYMarin
The best-selling machine in pachinko history, released by Sanyo Bussan, is the “Umi Monogatari” (Sea Story) series.
Since its launch in 1995, it has continued to be a hit, so its cumulative sales must be on a monster scale by now.
The character Marin-chan, who appears on the machines, has had repeated image-girl contests held for her, and the term “Umi Monogatari” feels like it has become a social phenomenon rather than just the name of a pachinko machine.
The jackpot song “Go! Go! SEASTORY” has many arrangements and alternate versions, all of which help make pachinko feel more fun and upbeat.
It has none of the grim solemnity of the old “Gunkan March,” and I think it’s one of the songs that helped improve pachinko’s image.
RADIANT FORCESenki Zesshō Shinfogia Jī Kyarakutā Songu
Don’t you find yourself wanting to root for these color-coded, idol-like characters? The song “RADIANT FORCE” is one of the tracks that plays in the hugely popular pachinko series Symphogear (Senki Zesshō Symphogear).
One of the appeals of this machine is that you can choose the songs you want to listen to yourself.
Of course, you can keep this track on repeat if you like.
From a calm, classical-style intro, it suddenly bursts into a powerful sound, and even people who don’t know the Symphogear anime will probably want to watch the show after hearing it.
The vocals split by voice actor parts are great, and the theme of “carving out a new era!” fits Symphogear perfectly.
You’ll find yourself wanting to listen to it over and over again.
Burning HeroOkita Hiroyuki
It’s a quintessential 80s anime song! The vocals blend a boyish sweetness with a husky strength, powerfully conveying pure passion for victory and the unbreakable bonds of friendship.
Sung by Hiroyuki Okita—who was also popular as an actor—this track was the B-side of a single released in November 1983.
As the first opening theme for the national hit soccer anime Captain Tsubasa, it sent Japan into a frenzy.
You could say it’s the perfect song for that peak moment when anticipation of a big win reaches its highest point.
Blue HorizonTRiDENT
A refreshingly exhilarating electropop sound that conjures up a boundless blue sky and vast ocean! This song, which captures the world of the anime Arpeggio of Blue Steel -Ars Nova-, is performed by the voice actress unit Trident.
Originally performed only once at their final live show in April 2016, it was later released the following year in response to passionate fan requests for an official recording—a moving backstory.
Knowing it represents the unit’s crowning achievement makes it all the more stirring when you listen again.
Dawn Windjero
This is a soul-stirring song sung by Jero, who debuted in 2008 and swept the newcomer awards.
Released in January 2012 as the theme song for the pachinko game “Pachinko Hissatsu Shigotonin IV,” it is also included on the album Passion.
As Jero himself described it as his “first man’s song,” it powerfully portrays, with a fervent vocal performance, the way of a man who bears anguish and loneliness yet heads toward the light of dawn.
Coupled with the dramatic sound crafted by the master, Masaaki Hirao, it really tugs at the heart.
Sleeping InstinctChouCho
This is a song featured in the pachislot machine “Pachislo Girls und Panzer G: This Is My Way of the Tankery!” based on the anime Girls und Panzer.
It plays during the “Sleeping Instinct Bonus,” which shares its name with the track, and it’s designed to build into the AT mode “Tankery.” While it has a brilliant touch that incorporates strings and piano tones, its sense of speed is striking, evoking a powerful drive to push forward.
The lyrics portray the resolve to leave the past behind and advance together with one’s comrades, which also heightens the emotional impact.
