- Not to be confused with the album of the same name.
"Tora Tora Tora" is a song by Alessandra Mirka Gatti under her alias Domino. Produced in 1994, it was first released as a vinyl single by A-Beat-C on July 26. Then it made its first album appearance in "Super Eurobeat Vol. 48 - Extended Version" on August 21. Later a B4 Za Beat remix of the song was released together with a New Generation edit of "Play The Music" by Ace and another B4 Za Beat remix of "Lucky Tango" by Virginelle as part of the vinyl album "Super Eurobeat Presents 12" Collection Vol. 2" on December 1, 2005. Finally the vinyl was ripped and released digitally on November 25, 2021. The song was written, produced, and composed by Andrea Leonardi under his alias Bratt Sinclaire.
She later covered it twice in 2004 (under SCP Music) and 2020 (under Dave Rodgers Music). Japanese girl group MAX covered it in 1996, and Cherry (featuring Niko and The Prophet) also covered it in 2005.
The extended version is tagged as "Big Attack Mix".
Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
Tora! Tora! Tora! ahy, ahy, what a perfect sound
As a secret password
Ready, ready, ready, ahy, ahy, ready to take off
In the night we're leaving
[Pre-Chorus]
Looking for the target
Waiting for the fatal moment
I can't wait to hear that message on the radio
Friday night is coming
Everybody's starving
Hungry for music
Hungry for rhythm
[Chorus - Repeat Twice]
Tora! Tora! Tora! this is the new slogan
Tora! Tora! Tora! it's like a thunder
Tora! Tora! Tora! waiting for the command
Tora! Tora! Tora! we'll scream it together
[Verse 2]
Tora! Tora! Tora! ahy, ahy, ready to depart
To have fight and glory
Danger, danger, danger, ahy, ahy, danger over you
Listen to the dee jay
