Lupin the FireSEAMO
One of SEAMO’s signature songs, known for its catchy, sing-along quality and a Lupin-themed worldview.
Released in 2006, it actually samples Yuji Ohno’s composition “Theme of Lupin the Third.” Rather than breakneck speed, it features a rapid yet rhythmic flow that feels great to listen to.
Subtly tricky, though: the pitch sits high and the melodic jumps are quite active.
SEAMO’s breezy, rhythmically crisp delivery is seriously cool!

As you listen, you can’t help but feel like singing along—not just because of the tongue twisters, but thanks to the snappy melody line.

It’s a tongue-twister song you can enjoy together with your kids!
