15-minute preview of the arrange album ROCKMAN HOLIC

On December 19, yetanotherMega Mantribute album will be dropping in Japan. EntitledROCKMAN HOLIC, it is a 16-track collection of vocal arrangements that spans the entire Classic series plus a couple ofXnumbers.

I recently shared thebadass music videofor the track “X-Buster,” and towards the end of the video, you hear a very familiar voice reading off the release details. That is Masako Nozawa, the voice actress best known for playing Goku — both young and old — in every incarnation ofDragon Ball. She’ll be providing the singing voice ofMM1Robot Master Cut Man on the CD.

A 15-minute preview ofROCKMAN HOLICjust appeared on Japanese streaming site Nico Nico Douga. You can sample a little bit of everything, or you can skip ahead to track 9 to hear Nozawa’s super adorable Cut Man interpretation. As for the rest of the album, it sounds delightfully corny — and that’s a good thing. Yay for butchered English lyrics!

ROCKMAN HOLICwill run  ¥1980 (~$24), surprisingly cheap for a Japanese CD.
