Kazuki Takahashi's Yu-Gi-Oh! theme song
Kazuki Takahashi wrote and composed a Yu-Gi-Oh! theme song in samba rhythm. It is based on the early part of the manga. In 1997, he included the lyrics in volume 5 of the manga tankōban.
The lyrics are as follows:
Oh, he came from the sands of time
He's the King of Games, legends come alive
Evildoers will hide in shame
When they taste justice
In a Shadow Game
(Shadow!)
Oh, but when a king has a heart
And the door to that heart, it opens, it parts
There is always a friend in your heart!
Yugi! Yugi! Yu-Gi-Oh!
