"Namida (Kokoro Abaite)" (NAMIDA～ココロアバイテ～, translated as "Tears (Through His Heart)") is the theme song to the film Zebraman 2: Attack on Zebra City, released as a CD single on April 21, 2010. The song is performed by actress Riisa Naka under the name Zebra Queen (ゼブラクイーン, Zebura Kuīn), the character she portrays in the film.[1] In the plot of the film, the song is said to have been the #1 song for 40 weeks straight during the year 2025.[2] In real life, the single peaked at #22 on the Oricon Weekly Charts in 2010, remaining on the charts for 6 weeks.[3][4] Naka states that she gave Zebra Queen a persona akin to Lady Gaga for the musical performances.[5] In addition to a standard CD single release, a CD+DVD combo pack was released featuring music videos for both tracks with her back up dancers known as the Zebras (ゼブラーズ, Zeburāzu).[6] In addition to these two music videos, an alternate music video for the B-Side was filmed featuring comedian Naomi Watanabe in place of Riisa Naka as Zebra Queen.[7]
