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.

The future is in our hands.THE BLUE HEARTS

Kaiji OP Full “The Future Is in Our Hands” Kaiji opening full

The manga Kaiji: Ultimate Survivor, which elevated the simple onomatopoeia “zawa zawa zawa…” into a buzzword, is a pioneer that turned psychological mind games into pure entertainment.

Although similar manga and dramas were made afterward, no work is said to have surpassed Kaiji to this day.

The song that plays on the Kaiji-themed pachinko machine, CR Dankyu Mokushiroku Kaiji Numa 3, is this one.

The lyrics, which carry a “I’ve got no expectations for this rotten world” vibe, are pure Blue Hearts.

By stringing together the blunt truth of bold punk, the lyrics have paradoxically resonated with many.

This number by Team Z serves as the soundtrack to players’ most thrilling moments, and its rhythm can truly be said to amplify the climax of the game.

With its approachable theme and wider reach through digital distribution, it has steadily garnered strong support.

Every time it’s heard in a pachinko hall, it’s so captivating that even non-fans find themselves stopping to listen.

Eureka Seven OP 'To the Center of the Sun' [High Quality]

A beloved classic by Bivattchee, a band that sadly disbanded in 2009.

Their song “Even If the World Ends Tomorrow” is great too.

You still hear “To the Center of the Sun” popping up on social media whenever a new Eureka Seven pachinko machine is released.

It’s probably a quintessential anthem for people who spent their youth playing pachinko! The lyrics are great as well, entrusting a passionate message to the sun: “Mistakes and failures are the fuel that help me grow—I’ll charge headlong through life.” Some people might even play pachinko just to hear this song!

While you’re engrossed in pachinko or pachislot, the music coming from the machine fuels your emotions like gasoline to a fire.

“The Beginning of the End,” sung by Megumi Hayashibara, was created for Pachinko Shin Evangelion and powerfully grips the player’s heart.

The lyrics as expressed by Hayashibara convey a deep connection with the Evangelion characters, so hearing it during gameplay is sure to stir even greater excitement.

Entrancing players, this song lingers in the ears and has the power to move the heart.

Rock Vibration / RIDER CHIPS

Adding color to the intense back-and-forth of pachinko play are the hype-raising tracks that play during reaches and jackpot moments.

Among them, “ROCK VIBRATION” is one of the most stirring songs— a number provided by RIDER CHIPS for CR Pachinko Kamen Rider V3.

With arrangements by Cher Watanabe and vocals by Ricky working in perfect harmony, it brings both tension and hope to players, heightening the anticipation of victory.

There’s no doubt this single track makes jackpot moments even more memorable and serves as a key piece that amps up the entire experience.

Not only Kamen Rider fans, but all lovers of gaming will likely find this song special.
