Hot Hits from Pachinko and Pachislot! A Special Feature on Hype-Inducing Anthem Tracks

WILD EYESMizuki Nana

Nana Mizuki “WILD EYES” (NANA MIZUKI LIVE MUSEUM 2007)

A song by Nana Mizuki, a female singer active across a wide range of fields including voice acting and narration.

It was used as the ending theme for the TV anime Basilisk: The Kouga Ninja Scrolls, and is also famous as the BGM that plays when AT continuation is guaranteed in the slot machine series Basilisk based on the same work.

Unlike other songs used in the slot, this one plays when at least two AT continuations are guaranteed, so the moment it starts coming from the machine, everyone’s excitement shoots up.

With its clear, fast-paced sound that lifts your spirits even higher, it’s a classic tune every Basilisk fan eagerly awaits.

It might be there…Daito Music

It Might Be There... ~Special Full Version~ / Daito Music (from the CR Yoshimune 2 Soundtrack)

This song evokes a strong hope that something good may be waiting ahead.

Since it plays when the Hime Big Bonus triggers in CR Yoshimune 2, it really conveys the confidence of having seized a chance.

The powerful female vocals are striking, as if they’re giving you a push from behind.

The energetic dance-music sound also stands out; its sense of speed conjures an image of charging forward.

Because it only plays when a specific bonus occurs, it feels like a rare, special track.

Rally! Imperial Assault ForceYokoyama Chisa, Teikoku Kagekidan

Sakura Wars Theme Song “Geki! Teikoku Kagekidan” [FULL]

Sakura Wars was one of the many games released for the Sega Saturn.

However, right after its launch the cute female characters became a hot topic, and the franchise expanded into anime, manga, and stage productions.

The feverish popularity—before the term “media mix” was even in common use—is now almost unimaginable.

The pachinko machine CR Sakura Wars was also a massive hit that spawned sequels, and you can hear this song during jackpots! With a march-like melody reminiscent of Gunkan March that makes it easy to keep the rhythm, and a rousing chorus layered into the refrain, it is—though the characters are different in writing—truly a “revue troupe.”

Fire it in! Bullet Spirit!Daito Music

Fire away! Bullet Spirit / Daito Music (e-Pachinko Osu! Bancho: Peak of Manliness Soundtrack)

A song played on the machines of the massively popular Bancho series of pachislot games.

Standing alongside Juggler and Yoshimune, the Bancho series—which machine do you like best? The characters in Bancho are also irresistible: not just the main hero, Kintaro Todoroki, but also his (girlfriend?) Misao Aoyama, the nameless underling, the rival “Mad Dog” Norio, the swift Saki—everyone is incredibly distinctive.

This song, which plays during a big win, is exciting to enjoy even away from a pachinko parlor, and I truly want you to hear it at least once.

The old-school, Bancho-style lyrics like “Even if I’m alone, I’ll do it!” are superb.

Just listening to it makes you feel stronger—honestly, it feels that way.

It’s a track you’ll want to keep on repeat even when you’re not in the middle of a big win!

Trezire de spiritTsuda Shunsuke Hattori Chika

trezire de spirit

This song brilliantly captures the world of Castlevania.

Sung by Shunsuke Tsuda and Chika Hattori, it was released in June 2009.

It’s known as the theme that plays during the Big Bonus in the Castlevania pachislot machine.

Featuring a grand blend of hard rock and majestic orchestration, its expansive sound is a standout.

The lyrics, sung in Latin and Romanian, embody courage, hope, and the resolve to confront evil.

It’s a perfect track for boosting your spirits.

Kizuna: Fist of the Blue SkyGALNERYUS

GALNERYUS Bond FIST OF THE BLUE SKY

The music that plays on pachinko machines is key to boosting a player’s excitement.

GALNERYUS’s “Kizuna FIST OF THE BLUE SKY” fulfills that role brilliantly as a featured track in Pachinko CR Fist of the Blue Sky.

Announcing a new chapter for the band, this song sets hearts racing with its vocals and bassline.

Its lavish, intense sound heightens the thrill of gameplay and ignites the drive to win every time you hear it.

It’s a precious track that distills the very essence of GALNERYUS’s musical appeal.

HOT BLOODMizuki Nana

Nana Mizuki “HOT BLOOD” (NANA MIZUKI LIVE GATE 2018)

A Japanese rock number with traditional flair, powerfully sung by Nana Mizuki as the ending theme for the anime Basilisk: The Ouka Ninja Scrolls.

Heavy guitar lines are layered with synths evoking traditional instruments and taiko-like percussion, sonically expressing the work’s world of ninja fate.

The lyrics, interweaving classical and elegant diction, portray the protagonist’s resolve and tragic love—risking life for the one they cherish despite the bonds of blood—where defiance and resignation toward a shifting destiny collide.

Released in January 2018 as a new track on the best-of album THE MUSEUM III, it was also performed during that year’s seven-day run at Nippon Budokan.

A must-listen for those drawn to a fusion of Japanese elements and rock.
