Sometimes it hurts to construct...

This article is under construction. We hope to have it completed as soon as possible.
Please excuse our mess while we are working on this page.

Karate Man Returns Theme (カラテ家^?, Karateka)^[1], also known as Karate Rhythm in Rhythm Poem Collection, is the theme used for Karateka in Rhythm Tengoku and Karate Man Returns! in Rhythm Heaven Megamix. It was composed by Masami Yone and arranged by Nintendo^[2]. However, the voice actor, lyrics writing, and arranger are uncredited.

A version of this song with various tempo changes can be found in Karateka 2 in Rhythm Tengoku. A high energy arrangement of this song would be used for Karateka in Rhythm Tengoku (Arcade).

The lyrics are provided in the Rhythm Poem Collection rather than its own Lyrics Card.

Hey! Baby! How's it going?
This beat is non stop.
Hey! Baby! Listen to my phrase.
I can give you
the sense of rhythm.
Oh, Yeah.

Hey! Baby! How's it going?
This beat is non stop.
Hey! Baby! Listen to my phrase.
I can give you
the sense of rhythm.
Awake, baby! Trust me!

This beat is non stop!
New groove in your soul.
Oh, Yeah!
This beat!
You are growing up well.
Hey, Baby!
Hold on to your ambition.
Hey! Oh, Yeah!

This is the first vocal song to appear in the series.
This is one of the few songs to be entirely in English in all languages, including Japanese. The only other song to share this trait is I'm a lady now.
