BAPEMAN THEME - Prod. by NIGO, K.U.D.O, Kan Takagi - Performed by YOU THE ROCK★ (2001)

BAPEMAN THEME specially created for the BAPE x PEPSI collaboration in 2001.
Among the many things released as part of the campaign were 10 Pepsi bottle caps + 1 secret bottle cap. All of them had a figurine of an ape character from the BAPE universe attached on top. The secret bottle cap depicted NIGO as "BAPEMAN".
This fictional hero character received a special theme song, the "BAPEMAN THEME". You can see on the cover of the single that this hero is clearly inspired by Batman, probably due to how close the names are to each other. The 3" single was released with relax magazine issue 56 in October 2001 in Japan.
