The King of Gyoza (demo version)
A high-energy 70s-inspired disco-funk-soul track driven by a syncopated rhythm section, tight funk bassline, vibrant percussion, and punchy brass stabs. Rhythm guitars and electric keys accentuate the groove, while falsetto vocals and rich layered harmonies soar over dynamic horn hooks in a celebratory, dance-ready atmosphere.

Lyrics
In the kitchen from those distant days
(In the kitchen!)
Skilled hands wrapping dumplings tight
(Wrap it! Wrap it!)
The flavor hidden beneath the char
(Yeah, feel it!)
What’s engraved inside my heart — mother’s taste
“I’ll be like her one day,” I swore inside
Chasing tomorrow’s dream up to the sky
(Ho! Ho! Ho!)
Bake it up — my burning soul!
(Bake it!!)
Every bite brings memories back
(Come on!)
To be Japan’s number one craftsman
(Go higher!)
I’ll aim to be the King of Gyoza!
(Yeah!)
The flames of the iron pan are rising high
(Burn! Burn!)
Eyes locked in battle, the fight is clear
(Face to face!)
Each plate carries sparks of life
(Spark!)
Skill against skill — they clash together
Turn this blazing spirit into strength
Chop the leeks and onions fine
(Ho! Ho! Ho!)
Grill it up — my burning soul!
(Grill it!!)
One single bite will steal their hearts
(Take it!)
Go beyond the top, keep grilling on
(Over the top!)
Till I master the perfect Gyoza
(Yeah!)
The road ahead is endless and long
So many times my heart nearly broke
When I almost lost my pride
I hear that voice — the girl who prays
For my victory, calling out to me
(GO! GO! Fight!)
“Ah, I won’t give up anymore!
Let’s go! To the peak of Gyoza!!”
Bake it up — my burning soul!
(Bake it!!)
Every bite, the flavor strikes
(Come on!)
To be Japan’s number one craftsman
(Go higher!)
I’ll aim to be the King of Gyoza!
Bake it up — my burning soul!
(Bake it!!)
Spread the wings of crispy skin
(Let’s fly!)
Aim for the King of Gyoza!
(Dai-oh!!)
Wrap my soul inside these Gyoza
(Wrap it!!)
(Bake it!!)
(So good!!)
