cap283 (Captain Tsubasa, as in the JP number reading of 'Tsu', 'Ba' and 'San')


The shadow-dropped Pop Tap Beat videogame for i-devices really brought ont itself to be devised both for the mainstay Japanese audience and a newcoming Western one, with full language support for both Japanese and English as well as a mainstay tutorial songs being available in both languages. Even the launch version's Anime department got a branch of two newcoming tracks, with Westerners getting the infamous My Little Pony main theme and the Japanese veterans getting treated with this here tune!

Originally performed by Hiroyuki Okita (沖田浩之) and available in Taiko as a cover, Moete (lit. 'Burning') Hero is the very first theme of the first Anime series based on the original manga run of Captain Tsubasa series, penned and illustrated by Yoichi Takahashi (高橋陽一) and spanning from 1981 to 1988 between single Shonen Jump chapter released and the individual 37-volumes tankobon release. The star of the story is the titular Tsubasa Oozora, an 11-aged kid with a great passion for soccer and the dream of leading Japan to with the ambitious FIFA World Cup, with the manga run showing all the hardships met by him and the other athletes surrounding him, both outside the stadium and during the heated football action.
 
The original manga run was adopted for a 128-episodes of the same name by Tsuchida Productions that span between 1983 and 1986, followed by an astonishing number of sequel manga series, OVAs, movies and videogame production that is still running strong into current times, with 2020's Captain Tsubasa: Rising Sun still getting printed into its dedicated Captain Tsubasa-centric magazine! As of 2008, the franchise has shipped 70 million books worldwide, grossing -as of 2018- over 80 million dollars worldwide, all the while inspiring prominent athletes to take the divegrass road... and it's not limited to Japan either- even professional soccer players in the likes of Hidetoshi Nakata, Alessandro Del Piero and Lionel Messi have revealed to look at Captain Tsubasa as one of their reasons of pursuing the sport to begin with!

Plain 1/16 charting is in order for Moete Hero's Oni mode, offering the most dense passage as the player draws near to its Go-Go Time portion. It's still mono-color-cluster town down there, so dribbling through those after a brief warmup should be a breeze the same!
