is the second album by Japanese novelty heavy metal band Animetal, released through Sony Records on February 21, 1998. The album consists of a non-stop marathon of metal covers of theme songs of tokusatsu series from the 1970s and 1980s.[1] [2] A karaoke version of this album was also released.[3] [4]
"Let's Go! Rider Kick," "Fight! Kamen Rider V3," "Setup! Kamen Rider X," "Amazon Rider Koko ni Ari," "Kamen Rider Stronger no Uta," and "Moero! Kamen Rider" were recorded separately as a marathon EP titled Tokusatsu de Ikou! Like the first marathon CD, some songs incorporate guitar riffs from well-known hard rock and heavy metal songs. Most notable is "Tatakae! Chōjin Bibyūn", which uses the guitar riff of Van Halen's "Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love."
Animetal Marathon II includes a bonus disc containing the band's songs for the 1997 anime film Rurouni Kenshin: Ishin Shishi e no Chinkonka.
All tracks are arranged by Animetal.
