PR TIMESI was very honored to be able to participate in the music production for this project.
It was also fun to incorporate sound effects from the Street Fighter series, spanning from the original games to the latest title.
Combined with Umeda Cypher's rap, I believe the song has become one that gets your blood pumping. Please enjoy it!

I had fun writing the lyrics, inspired by my favorite game, Street Fighter, which I interact with almost every day.
The track is full of playfulness, featuring various in-game sound effects layered on top of tofubeats' wonderful track.
The feeling of excitement every time I win, and the surge of fighting spirit every time I lose.
I hope this song acts as a bridge to the world of Street Fighter, where every day is a whirlwind of excitement.
To all the strong players I haven't met yet, I look forward to having heated battles with you in Ranked Matches and the Battle Hub.
P.S. Guile users, please be kind to my Blanka.

I wasn't good at fighting games, but by trying them out, researching various strategies, and aiming for the top, I found connections and learning outside of the game itself. I believe I was able to focus my rap this time on the various meanings of What is strength? for me.
tofubeats' track is also incredible, and I'm grateful to have been given such a fantastic project. I will get stronger!

I am truly honored to be involved with my beloved Street Fighter and Street Fighter 6 once again.
At the same time, I felt the seriousness of the task.
I approached the verse with a delicate touch—properly managing the gauge and not missing the lethal blow.
I was also thrilled to be on a tofubeats beat—this is the second time for Umeda Cypher, and the first time for me personally.
Now, I look forward to our next match.

I feel very honored to be involved with a globally popular title in this manner.
The song turned out to be incredibly exciting, with our rap layered with in-game lines and hitting sounds such as "I won't let you escape" and "Shoryuken" on top of tofubeats' beat!
There are various hidden elements in the lyrics, so please enjoy them along with the game! Focus!

Street Fighter is a game we all used to play so much that production would completely halt whenever we had a console in the studio.
I loved it so much that I even made a song called "HADOUKEN," so I'm happy to be involved in the music for this project!
