NOVEL NEXT Chapter 136: Chapter 125: Preparation for Z-Man Sentai Game AD
Tuesday, December 24, 1991
Zaboru sat in his office, deep in thought. Today was a crucial day—he was planning to record the theme song for Choujin Sentai Z-Man, a song adapted from Jetman, one of his favorite Sentai themes from his previous life. Of course, he couldn't just copy it directly, so he made some tweaks, refining the melody and lyrics to fit Z-Man. This song wouldn't just be for the game—it would also serve as the main track for the TV commercial he was preparing.
With the holiday season in full swing because of Christmas and New year on the way, now was the perfect time to launch an advertisement. He had already asked Shinsuke to book a TV ad slot, and he had also hired professional costume makers and a top-tier commercial production team to ensure that everything looked as authentic as possible. He had a clear vision for this—Z-Man needed to feel like a true Sentai experience, not just another game.
But for the commercial to work, the gameplay needed to be polished enough for a proper showcase. Thankfully, Z-Man was already around 50% complete, so Zaboru and the ZAGE team had been focusing on refining key sections for the advertisement. They made sure the footage highlighted each of the Sentai members in action and even included a sneak peek of the mecha battles. It wouldn't be the full experience just yet, but it would be enough to get people hyped.
Over the past few weeks, Zaboru had put serious effort into studying music. Thanks to his enhanced cognitive abilities because of his Enlgihtment, he had learned music composition faster than most. By now, he fully understood music notes and arrangement, allowing him to recreate the Jetman theme while making it even better. He enhanced the instrumental sections, adding an advanced solo guitar part that made the song feel even more energetic and heroic.
At the recording studio, everything was set. He had assembled a team of skilled musicians: a bass player, a keyboardist, a drummer, and a backup guitarist. Zaboru himself would take the lead on the electric guitar.
"Alright, guys, ready?" he asked, gripping his guitar. The others gave him a thumbs-up.
"Three… Two… One… Go!"
The intro blasted through the studio speakers as the recording session began.
Jetto! (x2) Jettoman!
Retsu Gō!! Tobidase, ō!
Jetto! (x2) Jettoman!
Chōjin Sentai Jettoman!
The powerful rhythm, the driving guitar riffs, and the energetic drum beats filled the room. Zaboru grinned as he played, feeling the music take shape. Every instrument came together perfectly, the solo guitar soaring above the rest. They played through the song multiple times, making minor adjustments to perfect the mix. After several hours of intense recording, the final version was complete.
Zaboru leaned back in his chair, listening to the playback. "This… is perfect."
Satisfied, he left the studio and returned to the ZAGE office, ready to tackle the next part of his plan—the commercial.
Back at his desk, Zaboru leaned forward, scribbling down notes for the advertisement. He wanted it to capture the Sentai spirit—dynamic, exciting, and full of action.
"Alright… First, we start with the ZAGE logo, followed by an association with TOEI…" he murmured to himself as he wrote.
Then the theme song would kick in, playing over dramatic shots of five actors dressed in full Choujin Sentai Z-Man costumes. They would strike powerful poses, standing in front of an explosive background effect while shouting in unison:
'Choujin Sentai Z-Man!'
After that, the commercial would transition into gameplay footage, showcasing each Sentai member in action. The narration would highlight the game's features—team-based combat, unique weapons, transformation sequences, and of course, mecha battles. The actors in costume would stand beside the gameplay footage, reacting with dramatic gestures, as if watching the action unfold in real time.
For the grand finale, the leader, Z-Man Red, would step forward, pointing directly at the screen and delivering the final line:
"Buy ZAGE's Choujin Sentai Z-Man! Available now!"
Zaboru leaned back, nodding to himself. Yeah… this is gonna be awesome.
With the plan finalized, it was time to execute. The commercial production team would need to build the set, the costumes had to be finalized, and the gameplay footage needed to be polished. It would take a few weeks of hard work, but once it was ready, Choujin Sentai Z-Man would be everywhere.
And with that, Zaboru went back to refining both Z-Man and his SpongeBob game. The year was about to end, but for him, things were just getting started.
