The song gradually develops into a magnificent ballad, and suddenly an orchestra of trumpets and horns joins in, creating a lively sound. The singing has also become more aggressive, and the entire song makes you feel as if you are listening to movie music, as if you were watching the main part of the movie “Onsen Shark”.
As if changing scenes in a movie, the vocalist’s singing expression style also changes in parts and is sung differently. The singing is so great that you get the illusion that multiple vocalists are singing separately. This was a challenge based on the high expressive power of the vocalist Soai.
When he read the script for “Onsen Shark,” Storytellings producer Joe Kamima said that the first thing that came to his mind was the lyrics and sound at the beginning. Then, they envisioned how to create a chemical reaction between the ever-changing vocalist Takaa and the worldview of the “hot spring shark,” and “Scorching Battle Song” was born.
Comment from Director Inoue of Onsen Shark: “This song plays and sings the heat of the hot springs, the majesty of the sea, and most of all, the strength and loneliness of machismo. ‘ will shake the hearts of those who hear it and won’t let go.”

A threat suddenly appears in a popular hot spring resort!
Hot spring area vs ancient shark
The battle against humanity is about to begin.
In Atsumi City, S Prefecture, where the construction of a huge tourist complex led by the mayor, Manmaki, is underway, a series of
disappearances have occurred in which hot spring guests suddenly disappear. Moreover, the victim’s body was later found in the sea, attacked by a shark. Tsuka, the police chief, and Kose, a doctor of marine biology, embark on an investigation. They discover that ferocious sharks that have been revived since ancient times are freely roaming hot springs across the Hot Sea and attacking people. I uncover a surprising fact…
