Let’s go!! Rider KickShimon Masato
The best-selling record in Japan is Masato Shimon’s Oyoge! Taiyaki-kun, with an astonishing 4.577 million copies sold! It’s a sales figure that can’t be measured by today’s standards, where a million downloads counts as a smash hit.
Another signature song by Masato Shimon is Let’s Go!! Rider Kick—just hearing the horn in that layered, surging intro makes my heart race! His slightly sticky, clinging vocal delivery also left a strong impression.
The enemies in Kamen Rider and the black-clad Shocker soldiers might seem harmless now, but they were really scary when we were kids, weren’t they? It’s a track you’ll want to listen to while comparing it with the Heisei and Reiwa Rider eras!
