Karaoke Ranking #1: Hypnosis Mic -Division Battle Anthem- / Division All Stars
This song is undoubtedly #1! It's no exaggeration to say it's Hypnosis Mic's signature song. Released around the beginning of the Battle Season, it captures the intense energy of each division, making it incredibly cool! The tempo is fast, and you can't help but get into the groove. Each division member sings in order of first, second, third, and fourth, giving it a truly battle-like feel.
Ichiban Ichiro: A Once-in-a-Lifetime Encounter
The song starts with the line, "Of course, today is your death anniversary!" It's so cool, isn't it? This is the part by Ichiro Yamada, leader of the Ikebukuro Division. His rhymes are so cool, you'll want to sing along to the tempo and get into the groove. Subaru Kimura, the voice actor for Ichiro Yamada, is also known as a rapper.
Hypnosis Mic: The Pen is Better Than the Sword
This is also a pretty famous phrase! Even if you don't understand the meaning (?), for some reason, you'll want to say it out loud. It's impactful and just so cool! So, I'd love to sing it with all my heart.
Clink, dangle, dangle
"You've got absolutely no thrill like that!" This is Arisugawa Ditou's line. He loves gambling so much that he's even willing to put his own life on the table.
Karaoke Ranking #2: Hypnosis Mic -Division Rap Battle-+/Division All Stars' New Song
This is actually a new song! Hypnosis Mic recently announced new divisions, including "Nagoya Dijon" and "Osaka Dijon," which surprised many fans. This song marks the first debut of Nagoya and Osaka's songs. The song is longer, as it's an addition to the usual division songs. Here, we'll introduce some of the more memorable phrases from Nagoya and Osaka!
"He's Bishamonten, so he's really worried!"
This is the part for Harai Kuukou, the leader of the Nagoya Division. All of the characters in "Hypnosis Mic" have very difficult kanji for their names (except for the Yamada Brothers), but his is one of them. He may seem frivolous at first glance, but he's actually a Buddhist monk! His lyrics are full of monk-like phrases, like "Bishamonten," "I am the only one in heaven and earth," and "Descending to Shakado." The Nagoya Division's name is "Bad Ass Temple," so it's a temple, right?
"Like a cold Tsutenkaku Tower"
This is the part by Nurude Sasara, the leader of the Osaka Division. The Osaka Division's name is "Dotsuitare Honpo." This division name is so impactful, many people were probably surprised. Nurude Sasara always has a smiling, squinty look in his eyes, and he's a comedian by profession. The lyrics of the Osaka part were very Osaka-inspired. This section in particular features Osaka symbols like Tsutenkaku Tower. Speaking of which, Hypnosis Mic is currently collaborating with Tsutenkaku Tower. Other words that make Kansai residents chuckle, like "take it home in a Tupperware container," are also featured.
Karaoke Ranking #3: Hoodstar/Division All Stars
This song is also popular! Because it was released after the Battle Season ended, it has less of a fierce battle feel compared to anthems and the tempo is a little slower. It has a nice, peaceful feel!
"Bukuro is our hometown"
The song continues with "Oops, it's forbidden to do anything inappropriate, calm down." Incidentally, the title "Hood Star" means someone famous in their hometown, or a bad guy, so it's a perfect phrase for them, representing the division! The Yamada Brothers, in particular, are in the Ikebukuro Division. The song begins by emphasizing that Ikebukuro is their hometown.
"It seems like my true emotions are out of control, caught between the chaos and the chaos."
The tempo is pretty fast here, but if you can sing along perfectly, it's pretty cool! This is the part of Yokohama Division leader Samatoki Aohitsugi. He's a yakuza. Other members of the Yokohama Division include police officers and former soldiers... so they're a lineup of members with unique occupations. In a previous song released by Yokohama, they lamented, "There's no such thing as an uneventful day in this place," and perhaps the chaos refers to their territory.
"The three primary colors of light, RGB, Ramda Gentaro, and the rest is Baka♪"
This is the part for Yumeno Gentaro, the second lead member of the Shibuya Division. The Shibuya Division is known for their friendly relationship, and this line is sure to warm your heart. Teito's response is also fantastic, following up with, "Hey, who's the idiot? More importantly, Baccarat," and, "I'll get my revenge, twice as hard, and take it back, brother."
"Guiguiguigui, gubigubigubigubi, good!"
These are lyrics you'll definitely want to sing out loud and get into! This is the part for Izanami Hifumi, the second lead singer of the Shinjuku Division. He works as a host. It's a part that suits him perfectly. The tempo is fast here, but when it's perfectly timed, it's really cool. Incidentally, Doppo replies after this with, "Well, you can't help it, Hifumi. Take care of your liver (´・ω・`)."
Popular Karaoke Ranking #4: DEATH RESPECT / MAD TRIGGER CREW
This song is also pretty awesome! It's the song for the final battle of the Battle Season, Shinjuku vs. Yokohama. The two teams weren't originally rivals, but after winning the tournament, they found themselves locked in a fierce battle. Being the final battle, the tension is quite intense, and it's clear that neither team is at ease. The low notes of the guitar are also awesome!
"Final Battle: You're Not My Best Friend"
"Respect Left Behind"... The lyrics are quite distinctive, as they were originally units that weren't enemies. Samatoki and Jakurai were originally on the same team, and Doppo even once drank juice served by Riou. When you think of the two teams battling, it's hard not to feel a pang of regret. They were such good friends...!
"On both sides of us are wild, unconventional brawlers, reaching for the sky, we're Matenro."
This phrase is just so cool! The tempo is fast, so it's important to sing along perfectly. This is a phrase by Doppo and Hifumi, the 29-year-old childhood friends from the Shinjuku Division. "Both sides" refers to both sides of Jakurai. It's so cool, isn't it?
