Another first-place finish! - IJN Shimakaze [AZUR LANE SONG]
Style: nu-metal × J-pop idol; heavy but bouncy guitar riffs fused with bright pop hooks Mood: energetic, playful, determined, self-aware, triumphant Vocals: high-energy female lead; cute yet powerful idol tone; fast phrasing; cheerful shouts in chorus; layered pop harmonies Instrumentation: distorted guitars, punchy metal drums, pop synth leads, rhythmic bass, electronic accents, occasional chime effects Energy: very fast tempo; jumpy verses, explosive catchy chorus; constant forward momentum

Lyrics
Oops—wait—where did everyone go?
I just wanted to prove how fast I can go!
Laughing with Heinrich, racing the sea,
Now it’s just islands staring back at me.
Great job, Shimakaze… number one in mistakes,
What would Suruga say about risks I take?
[Pre-Chorus]
Breathe in, slow down, listen tight,
My ears still cut through day and night.
South-east thunder—explosions cry—
They found my friends… then so did I!
[Chorus]
Another first-place finish!
Hear my heartbeat race the wind!
I stumble, I sprint, I fall, I win—
But I’ll always rush back in!
Another first-place finish!
For my friends, I won’t delay!
Too fast to stop, too loud to miss—
I’m on my way!
[Verse 2]
There’s New Jersey loading every gun,
Laffey dodging shots half-asleep for fun.
Heinrich’s laughing straight at Purifier’s face,
Guess I picked the perfect time to rejoin the race.
I slash, I strike, torpedoes sing,
Speed and steel—watch everything sink!
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I don’t always think, I don’t always wait,
But my heart never runs away.
If I get lost, I’ll still come through—
That’s what I do… that’s what I do!
[Final Chorus]
Another first-place finish!
Bunny Squad’s back on top!
I hear the fight, I feel the flow,
And I’ll never, ever stop!
Another first-place finish!
Commander, did you see me fly?
Fastest sound beneath the sky—
Shimakaze racing by!
