Survivor – Burning Heart (Rocky IV)

In the boxing world of the 2000s, when you think of a boxer whose name became known in living rooms across the country, it’s Koki Kameda, the eldest of the Kameda brothers.

Now the CEO of his own private agency, Kameda Promotion, Kameda used the song “Burning Heart” by the popular American hard rock band Survivor as his ring entrance music.

Depending on your generation, you might remember this track as the theme song from Rocky IV.

While Survivor’s “Eye of the Tiger,” the theme from Rocky III, is more famous, choosing the more rugged and wistful “Burning Heart” instead gives off a sense of distinctive taste, doesn’t it?
