Lonely Storm (悲しみのスコール?, Kanashimi no Squall) is the song used in Karate Man and Karate Man 2 in Rhythm Heaven Fever and Karate Man Combos! in Rhythm Heaven Megamix. The song was performed by Soshi in Japanese and Clinton Edward Strother in English, written and composed by Tsunku♂, and arranged by Yusuke Itagaki. The blistering guitar solo was performed by Koji Kamada[1].

Credits for the arrangement used in Karateka 2 and the English versions are unknown.

Although Rhythm World Wii uses the English dub, a Korean translation is provided in Song Lyrics 4.

An arranged chiptune instrumental, shortened down to approx. 12 seconds, would be used for the practice of Karate Man Combos! in Rhythm Heaven Fever and Rhythm Heaven Megamix. There are two versions of this instrumental that take after different segments of the song.

Japanese (日本語?)

BABY 悲しみの強烈なスコール
BABY まどろみを彷徨う孤独感

WOWWOWWOW 男は
MISSING YOU 寂しい
OH IT'S BLUE・・・Crying

NO 誰にも 言わない魂
結局孤独 選ぶよ
NO 戻れない ガキだったあの日に
戻る事出来ない

去年よりも ひとつ年を重ねた
君は君は今はどこだろう

とても綺麗になったと噂を
聞かされたけれど

WOWWOW
君が今をとてもとても幸せ
感じているなら
それも大切な現実

Rōmaji (ローマ字?)

WOWWOWWOW Otoko wa
MISSING YOU Sabishī
OH IT'S BLUE・・・Crying

NO Darenimo Iwanai tamashī
Kekkyoku kodoku Erabu yo
NO Modorenai Gakidatta ano hi ni

Kikasa retakeredo

WOWWOW
Kimi ga ima o totemo totemo shiawase
Kanjite irunara
Sore mo taisetsuna genjitsu

English

Baby, I'm a broken man, I'm
just a shattering storm.
Baby, try to find my way as
the lonely shadows swarm.

Whoa, I'm just a man,
Missing you, please understand.
Without you, I'm dying.

No, no one will know how I
bear my pain alone.
In the end, I choose my
solitude.
No! I can't go back to my
days of innocence.
Can't go back, there is no
return.

Another cycle of seasons has
passed us by and I can't help
Wonder, I wonder, I wonder
just where you are now.

I hear from everyone that you
are different and that you are
Yet more beautiful than
before.

Whoa...
If you say that you are happier
now and that's just the way you
Feel about everything now,
Well then I guess it's just
the way that it is...

Translation

BABY An intense squall of sadness
BABY A feeling of wandering loneliness
WOWWOWWOW The man is
MISSING YOU Lonesome
OH IT'S BLUE... Crying

NO The soul doesn't tell Anyone
After all, I'll Choose loneliness
NO I can't go back To the days when I was a kid
I can't go back

Another year has passed
You, you, where are you now?
I've heard rumors that you are very beautiful
I've been told
WOWWOW
If you're happier now
and you feel that way
That's also an important reality

BABY The Intense memory of smiles
BABY Sighs of a complicated Monday
WOWWOWWOW Women are
Strong creatures
OH IT'S TRUE... Darlin'

YES I want Someone to know
I can't Take it all on
YES I'm still Not saying it
Your beauty is a Distraction

Just yesterday, I forgot all about you
I swore deeply to do it
But now in my heart
There's a sharp thump
WOWWOW
If you deeply and truly
love him now
Take it all in, The truth

Korean (한국어?)

나는 상처 입은 남자
나는 끔찍한 폭풍우 같은 남자

외로운 그림자 속에서
길을 찾으려 노력하고 있어

나는 그대를 그리워하는 남자일 뿐

그대가 없으면 난 죽을 것 같아

내 고통을 아무도 몰라

결국 나는 외로움을 선택했어

나는 나의 순수했던 시절로
돌아갈 수 없어

돌아갈 수 없어

지나가는 계절 속에서
나는 그대가 어디에 있는지
궁금하네

그대는 변했고
예전보다 아름다워졌다는
소식은 들었어

그대가 지금 행복하다면

그것 또한 어쩔 수 없는
현실일 거야
