If I had thought that Hybrid Heaven was an innovative take on the wrestling and fighting genre, then I don't know what to tell you about Cho Aniki: Seinaru Protein Denstsu, aka Cho Aniki: The Legend of the Sacred Protein. This is a game about two bodybuilders who have tasked themselves with protecting a legendary protein from various antagonists who want to consume it so they can achieve the ultimate physique. And it's a side-scrolling shmup like Life Force or R-Type. Each stage, Adon and Samson protect the legendary protein while it fires barrages of projectiles at the enemies who come to consume the protein, culminating in a boss fight.
Stage 5 takes place during a New Year's festival in Japan, where the two bodybuilders and legendary protein finally go up against The One-Man Festival...which is the name of the boss, or at the very least his title. There is separate music during the stage, but once The One-Man Festival appears, this song kicks in, and I'd like to think that it is the boss who is singing. I imagine The One-Man Festival singing this song somewhat drunkenly as he approaches Adon, Samson, and the legendary protein, already confident that he will be consuming the protein to get them gains, and his singing is just now catching up with him.
It's an absurd song to be boss battle music, but this game is nothing but absurd, so it works well, and I will not accept any other statement to the contrary.
