Summary of the past theme song of the anime “Gambling Apocalypse Kaiji”

Opening Theme

※ Opening (OP) songs, there are all two songs.

OP1. Kaiji with Ledobon Chily “The Future Is In Our Hands”

Song – Kaiji with Ledobon Chirizu

It is the first opening song.It is an animation limited unit that Seito Hagiwara who is in charge of Kaiji’s voice is in charge of vocals.The origin of the unit name is likened to THE BLUE HEARTS (Blue Hearts), which is the cover of the song, and is called “Red Bon Chili (chicken butt meat used for yakitori).”

OP2. Fear, and Loathing in Las Vegas “Chase the Light!”

Song – Fear, and Loathing in Las Vegas

It is the opening song of the second generation.The Japanese translation of the title, follow the light!Is.Go for it, Ito proud Neat!Because it is not possible to laugh, the empty ear of the part (1 minute 19 seconds) has added this work likeness casually.

Ending Theme

* There are three ending (EN) songs.However, the third song is the initial OP song.

EN1. Hakuryu “Requiem of Losers”

Lyrics, Composition and Song – White Dragon

It is the first ending song.It is a person named Shiraryu-san who sings the ending.It seems that Yukio Tonegawa, who was grilled to Kaiji in an anime, was in charge.It is a song with a deep depth.

EN2. I’ll never forget it, “ABC starting from C”

Song – I’ll never forget it.

It is the second generation ending song (2nd term: ED of the first semester).The video of the ending part is intensely laughable, and it is a song that became a hot topic immediately after the start of the broadcast.It is a number of pure and beautiful cries that fully affirm the men who continue to lose by competing fairly in love, work, and life.It is a cheer song-like number for people who are clumsy and only lose.

EN3. Kaiji with Ledobon Chily “The Future Is In Our Hands”

※ See OP1

Song – Kaiji with Ledobon Chirizu

It is the 3rd generation ending song (2nd term: late ED).This is also a song by the unit of anime limited.This song is a song of THE BLUE HEARTS, and it is a song covered by Seito Hagiwara.Not only Hagiwara but also the author of the Kaiji series is a big fan of Blue Hearts.

Insert song. Acid Black Cherry Pistol

Song – Acid Black Cherry

The first work in the series “Gambling Apocalypse Kaiji” is the theme song of the sound comic.Anyway, the sound is powerful.However, it is comfortable to listen to it though it is heavy.I don’t know what kind of fan base there is, but I want you to listen to more.If you like hard rock, I can recommend it.

Live-action movie theme song edition

MS1. YUI “It’s All Too Much”

It is the theme song of “Kaiji Life Reversal Game”.It’s a song with a strong rock tone, but I love it.I think that there are some people who say that YUI is better for loose songs, but I think that both of them have good points of YUI.This is a matter of taste, isn’t it?If anything, I prefer things that are not too strong to rock.

MS1. YUI “Never Say Die”

It is an insertion song of “Kaiji life reversal game”.I’ll never say I’m dead!It is a title that was in Kaiji.It seems to be YUI, and it is a song which enters the head.It’s not bad, but it’s a pretty dark song (lyrics).

There is no theme song of “Kaiji 2 Life Recapture Game”.Even in the ending, the instrumental song is just hanging.There is no theme song for Kaiji Final Game.

Popular theme song ranking of anime “Gambling Apocalypse Kaiji”

For the reference of the song search, I will introduce the popular theme song ranking in “Gambling Apocalypse Kaiji”.This ranking is created on this site based on the lyrics search and the number of accesses (PV number) on your major site (at the time of writing).

The opening song of the second generation is overwhelming victory!!! 。It is a song that made fear and rosing in Las Vegas popular.In fact, the artist is also in charge of recordings from the pachislot machine “Kaiji 3”.

Summary

I put together the past theme song (OP song, EN song) of “Gambling Apocalypse Kaiji”.

The theme song of Kaiji is often played by voice actors and others.However, it seems to be able to listen to it in extra time of the world view of the animation for that amount.By the way, Kaiji was broadcast until the second phase, but if there is a broadcast of the third period, I would like to support it by all means.

Thank you for watching until the end today.

aka Gambling Apocalypse Kaiji 2

Story: Kaiji Ito (Tatsuya Fujiwara) has drowned in debt and in life-threatening gambling games managed to free himself of this predicament only to end up right at the bottom once again. He is working off his debt as a slave, but with the help of his friends he buys himself two weeks in freedom. Kaiji now looks for a way to make the most of his money and that of his friends, who still have to work underground, so that he can buy himself and his friends free. His old acquaintance and rival Tonegawa (Teruyuki Kagawa), who fell from grace with his boss, introduces him to a secret casino in which a giant pachinko machine promises wealth in the blink of an eye. However, casino boss Seiya Ichijo (Yusuke Iseya) doesn't leave winning or losing to chance. With the helping hand of a new friend Kaiji makes at that place, Sakazaki (Katsuhisa Namase), and Yumi Ishida (Yuriko Yoshitaka) whose father he promised to look after her and who is working at the casino, he slowly comes up with a strategy how they can hit the jackpot of several millions despite all the obstacles...

Review: The sequel to the live-action movie of the manga and anime remains true to its source and once again proves to be an extremely entertaining thriller. Thanks to a good amount of wit and drama the viewer is pushed to the edge of his seat and this even though 'Kaiji 2' isn't perfect. Nonetheless, it's really easy to dive into the world of this thriller and so we get one of the most entertaining movies out of Japan in the last few years. Most likely the movie will only be half as good when watching it a second time, because most of the tension is created through the unpredictable outcome of the games, but this is of no concern at this point. Fortunately, fans of the series can watch the thriller as well since we know since part one that departures from the original story are in the realm of possibilities.
'Kaiji 2' doesn't try out anything new but instead makes use of the second story arc of the manga. It is pretty obvious that the series itself has more time to deal with the drama of the characters and the individual gambling strategies, but the live-action adaption manages in an applaudable way to bring to screen the most important aspects in a compressed manner. Those who haven't seen the first part may have some difficulties following the plot, though, since things aren't rehashed for us in some flashbacks. That's in fact pretty refreshing as the movie doesn't waste any time this way and avoids typical lengthy scenes. After only 20 minutes you will be completely captured by the film and cheer for Kaiji, a loser within society who wants to fight his way back up.
The hero of the story surely has a problem with gambling, but he has also reached a point in life at which he can't get rid of his mountain of debt through normal labor. Therefore, he is forced to risk it all once again. He may give a pathetic impression, as well as many other losers, when he begs for just another chance during a game, but he still has enough brains and wit to become a serious danger to the best of their profession. What makes him work out as a sympathetic character is his humanity which he manages to preserve despite all of his past bad experiences. You only get somewhere in life when you use others as a spring board, meaning that you only can hit it big in life on the expense of others. However, Kaiji isn't willing to life according to the motto of this cruel society.
Naturally that leads to Kaiji often being made use of and betrayed, but eventually his naivity and good-naturedness soften up just the right individuals who can help him become victorious on his way. In the end this might block Kaiji's road to true wealth, but you only need to look at his rivals to be able to easily answer what's more important: money or friendship.
One of Kaiji's former opponents, Tonegawa, is now fighting alongside him but of course there is still something inscrutable about him so that we never know whether he will betray Kaiji or not after all. It's the same with Yumi, being a variable that can't be assessed and therefore adds to the thrill factor of the movie.
It's amazing how often the characters are merely staring at a pachinko machine being keyed up while you yourself are almost forgetting to breathe, even though at a closer look there isn't actually happening that much. But the waiting, being enriched by many monologues and explanations about the possible outcomes of the game and the used strategies, creates a tremendous tension, which also gets some depth and color thanks to the implemented background stories of the characters. Thus, the movie's 135 minutes pass by like an arrow. A nice soundtrack and the usual good directing (as with the first part Tôya Satô sits once again in the director's chair) make the movie succeed on a technical level as well. As its predecessor did 'Kaiji 2' stands out with a special kind of magic as well which will instantly captivate even those who have only little interest in gambling. An absolutely worthy sequel.
