CR Ring - Shizuku [with lyrics]

The movie “Ring” was really scary, wasn’t it? After watching it, I kept staring at the TV over and over, afraid that Sadako might crawl out of it… That same “Ring” has been a huge hit in pachinko too, with the series continuing to expand.

The gimmick shaped like a human hand that drops down when you’re in a chance mode is incredibly creepy.

You can listen to this song, “Shizuku,” during a jackpot.

After the heart-pounding reach, it’s somehow soothing and comforting.

The lyrics do include elements related to “Ring,” like darkness and final words, but they don’t bother you that much.

It’s a highly recommended track you can hear in pachinko!

Roar, DREAM!Daito Music

Roar, DREAM / Daito Music (from the “Osu! Bancho” soundtrack)

This is a track that puts its powerful energy front and center, stoking a fiery passion until victory is won.

It’s one of the popular songs from the “Osu! Bancho” series and plays at various chance moments and bonus timings across different machines.

With its resonant, powerful guitars and straightforward vocals, the overall sound emphasizes heat and strength, evoking an image of charging toward hope.

It’s a song that seems to speak to the importance of putting in steady effort to seize opportunities and of continuing to challenge yourself without giving up.

Amazing Grace

Amazing Grace

A song that plays in Million God: Triumph of the Gods is famously said to mean a “sure big win!?” whenever it comes on.

The original is a Christian hymn that has been covered by many artists over the years.

Thanks in part to Million God’s influence, it’s also used in other machines with “god”-related titles, such as P EX Zeus and CR Ultimate Judgment.

When this song plays, plenty of players can’t help but pump their fists.

Its atmosphere perfectly complements the divine, awe-inspiring visuals.

MIOYAMAZAKI “Noise” (TV anime Jigoku Shoujo: Yoi no Togi opening theme)

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…

Space Battleship Yamato (1) / Isao Sasaki + The Royal Knights

Even people who don’t know Space Battleship Yamato directly are familiar with terms like “warp,” which refers to traveling across time and space, and “wave motion gun,” an attack that uses a mass of energy, right? It seems the term “space battleship” itself was also a coined word by the manga creator Leiji Matsumoto.

The pachinko Space Battleship Yamato series has also been a long-running hit.

In particular, CR Space Battleship Yamato – ONLY ONE – is a hugely popular machine with an approximately 90% jackpot continuation rate.

The song that plays during a big win might be a nostalgic tune for the dad generation.

The “adventure setting out for the distant Iscandar” depicted in the lyrics was also a boyhood dream.
