What IS the Rocket Punch Generation? - W & Whale's RPG Shine

For some inexplicable reason, the song by indie group, W and Whale entitled RPG Shine keeps running through my mind lately.




Here's a snipper of info from a website:

W and Whale (korean: 더블유앤웨일) is a collaboration between W (Where The Story Ends) and female vocalist Whale (웨일).They released their full-length project album on September 24, 2008, entitled “Hardboiled”, making some head way with the title track “R.P.G Shine”. They’re a new alternative/indie movement, and their styles include indie, alternative-pop, rock, jazz and even disco.

Haven't been able to find a translation for the lyrics below but the part that bugs me most is the reference to Rocket Punch Generation. Maybe my age is showing or the rock that I'm under is even bigger than I'd thought so can somebody please put me out of my misery and tell me what that phrase refers to?? I can only infer that Rocket Punch has something to do with Japanese anime and so can only conclude that this ajumma is definitely not part of the RPG!



건조한 눈빛, 쓰디 쓴 그대의 혀

항상 말만 앞서고 행동하진 못해.

나는 좀처럼 스스로 판단할 수 없어

필요한 건 Rocket punch.

때론 나대신 싸워주는 로봇

그건 말도 안 되는 만화 속 이야기

너의 어깨가 부셔져라 부딪혀야 해.



1 & 2 & 3 & 4걱정하는 것을 걱정하지 마.

Rocket Punch Generation지루하게 선명하기보다는 흐릿해도 흥미롭게

You have to cha, cha, cha, change yourself.

대체 왜 그래 뭐가 부끄럽다고

딱딱해지는 몸짓 빨개지는 얼굴

삶은 언제나 그렇듯 오르막 내리막

Tricky, Freaky, Break it my heart.누가 뭐래도 무거운 신념 하나

너의 가슴 속 깊이 못을 밖아 두고

결국 뱃머리 돌리는 건 바로 나 캡틴 Whale



5 & 6 & 7 & 8 걱정하는 것을 걱정하지 마.

Rocket Punch Generation 지루하게 선명하기보다는 흐릿해도 흥미롭게

You have to cha, cha, cha, change yourself.Oh~! Love me & love you이보다 더 좋을 순 없으니

Hold me & I`ll hold you또 이보다 더 나빠진다 해도 우리.



이미 지난 일은 후회하지 마.

Rocket Punch Generation. 불안할 것 없어 다가올 일도 중요한 건 바로 지금

I have to cha, cha, cha, change my, You have to cha, cha, cha, change your, We have to cha, cha, cha, change ourselves.

걱정하는 것을 걱정하지 마.

Rocket Punch Generation지루하게 선명하기보다는 흐릿해도 흥미롭게

You have to cha, cha, cha, change yourself
