Last Christmas Eve I was volunteering in a small hostel in Nagano prefecture. We were having a simple dinner w/other volunteers and guests when a random non Japanese guy suddenly joined our very-improvised karaoke, went through the catalogue of our 2003 dusty karaoke machine and sang this song from head to toe, perfect pronunciation, impeccable vibratos, outstanding stage presence... we stared blankly as he left for his room as soon as the song ended, unforgettable.
I was watching Kohei Tanaka being interviewed some years ago. When talking about the very first One Piece opening he composed, he lamented how anime songs nowadays are often made by deals between publishers and record companies, resulting in opening songs that have very little to do with the show itself. THIS is the kind of stuff that will never die.
Nanastu No Taizai, or The Seven Deadly Sin's Second Opening and first Ending are both related to the anime, which I thought was quite cool. The Opening made it to number 2 on the charts so maybe the Japanese public want an anison resurgence.
OrangeVision I wonder if Toei is an exception then? One Piece and Saint Seiya both have songs that are heavily tied to the series itself. Granted, Saint Seiya is an oldie and making weird songs for the sequels would piss off the fanbase.
OrangeVision I always wondered why they were so random. I actually just watched SBY recently for the first time. This song was a treat as I watched it!
OrangeVision i hear ya but there are some exceptions to this for example sailor moons reboot with clover z playing the opening. but i find it interesting on how some opening can give ya a sneak peek into the upcoming events for those who dont read the books. but thats just my opinion from watching over 500 titles from old astro (black and white. thank god i dont have to watch it again) to something modern like log horizon again opinion and these titles just jumped into my head randomly. speaking of oldies im marathon yamato finally found almost everything.
*sings intro to space battleship yamato in scandinavia* (nobody reacts) *sings intro to space battleship yamato in Japan* (everyone gets hyped) i wish this franchise was know better all around the world
i am an erasmus student in germany and we had an intensive german course and on the last of the course we had something like a party.There were 3 japanese people in the course and i played this song on my sax and i was so happy and satisfied to see their reactions!.i still remember it and laugh :D
@@kassie3320 I love how you are trying to explain Japanese history to a Japanese person. And doing it wrong. "Yamato" is an old historical name for Japan. That is why it was given to one of the two largest warships. Contrary to Germans, by the way, who renamed their pocket battleship Deutschland to Lutzow after the start of WWII in order to avoid possible blow to morale if ship that bears name of the state is sunk.
@@chairmanzia3556 yeah, anthems are meant to get you feeling pumped and patriotic. Considering how deeply woven "Yamato" is in Japanese society going all the way back to the feudal empires, it makes sense for this to sound more like anthem than their real one
Isao Sasaki is a great noble, Iconic, legendary, incredible true gentleman all wrapped up in one persona. He sings with so much passion & puts his soul in all of his great performances. A true artist/entertainer second to none. Nobody can hold up to him. He is simply AWEEEEEEESOOOOOME!!!!!!!!!!
There was a concert held here in Finland like 10 years ago by a japanese orchestra and choir and their whole set was old anime- and video game music from japanese titles. This song was one of the songs they played and it was a magnificient experience!
Wohoo! Gosh, i´m moved to tears! I´ve always listened to the theme of "Yamato" but never actually saw it live. My heart is beating faster! The most uplifting theme ever!
Sweet Christmas! He's like one part Elvis, one part Don Ho, another bit Tom Jones and a touch of Liberace's wardrobe thrown in the mix. All awesome! And love the song!
I love how you can hear the crowd singing with the guy...It shows that even the Japaneese(sp) can loose their cool when faced with something that they love :)
I can never get over how the crowd first does their polite clap for the next song..then once he starts and they realize what's coming up they erupt into cheer and start singing along.
What an amazing voice! Talent really knows no language barriers. Does he have any albums available in the UNITED STATES? I don't mind if it's not in English.
My chest hair grew 100% longer only by listening Isao Sasaki manly performance. Extended use should be under medical control. ... Who am I kidding ... putting this song on autorepeat.
dude, i'm with you all the way on every word you said. i still have pics even today of star blazers that i drew back in '82 and '83. me and my friends used to play neighborhood baseball and we would all take quit by 4pm to go home and watch it. i really wish they would remake star blazers with todays art and graphics.
memories *sigh* - saw this on an off channel as a kid in the 80s in the USA.. no idea it was so big... star wars-ish in Japan... anime didn't exist as an american genre yet... so surreal
Bellissima,io sono una grande esperto di anime modestamente sono il numero 1 questo è il grande Isao Sasaki che canta uchu bluenoa yumi . Purtroppo questo artista ci a lasciato 2 anni fa

Absolutely anyone in the world would stare blankly in awe at a chad who could sing this magnificent song perfectly.
that's a chad
Dudes rock
W!
What a chad
Comes into improvised karaoke
Finds Uchuu Senkan Yamato theme on jukebox
Sings it perfectly
Leaves with no further explanation
Without him Yamato would not be as big.
What a voice!

@@britishneko3906DAMN BOY DAMN BOY HE THICC HES ONE THICC ASS BOY!!!

This guy is like a Japanese Elvis , such style! He really seems enjoying performing and the song he's singing.
A cartoon theme song……

u do understand that the word yamato does atualy mean japan civ... well at least a certain era or should i say dynasty?
@@sugamotomagasaki4687 YAMATO refers to the ww2 destroyer at the time the largest in the world for this song at least lol
Kassie destroyer?! It’s a Battleship!

Should this be performed in the opening ceremony at Tokyo 2020 summer games? I say so
I second this
This and the Kamen Rider Theme...
Mazinger too
And Cha La Head Cha La
DCB99FReturns Too bad it would be 179 years too early...(if you do the math, my attempt at a joke should make sense)
Rest in peace Leiji Matsumoto, thanks to you we can appreciate the music made for the amazing anime you created.
Only in Japan can you have someone sing classic TV show theme songs and thousands of people show up. I wish I could go to one, just once.
Yea, by contrast literally no one cares in certain other places (looking at you, USA).
This is a second national anthem of Japan.XD
Hey Ko Zankoku na Tensho no These is the second anthem
Botchka Bass and Kolbaser zankoku na tensho ass shit , yamato no.1
LOLZ, this or maybe the theme to Doraemon.
the current japanese anthem is more suited to a funeral

ああ、この声量、このパワー…
ささきいさおさんの全盛期、生で聴きたかったなぁ…
This never gets old. Space Battleship Yamato forever!

ささきさんはこの時スパロボ初登場で、本物のヤマトを聴いて涙する観客もいたって当時のニコニコ動画のコメントに書いてあったな。これは生で聴いたら私も泣いてしまうかも。
One of the best classic anime songs ever. Sung by the EPIC ISAO SASAKI.
is he make boruto openinhg
@@Matheus-pw4jyNo way lol
Everytime I hear this man voice my inner childhood is screaming like a fan girl
So I am not the only one?
can relate, 42
heheh, this is the best music, i too can relate ^ ^ ^
Me too, LOL!!! 😂😂😂
The old anime songs used to be so epic. I like the new ones, but they don’t hold the same weight.
+celiasrox old nes game detected !!^^
+Boumez Anouar Yeah, you are right. I'm an old pissed about new stuff regular guy that loves nes.
its my favorite nes game goal 3 ^^
+Boumez Anouar The Durara! opening is pretty good imo.
celiasrox Yes,they miss that deep Japanese badass voice... But some songs are actually pretty good,Eventhough they don't have that old "touch"
There was a concert held here in Finland like 10 years ago by a japanese orchestra and choir and their whole set was old anime- and video game music from japanese titles. This song was one of the songs they played and it was a magnificient experience!
His Voice is more then amazing... He really feels what he is singing... Thank you...
i love voice like this so much
人類永遠の音楽
名歌手ささきいさおさん、
どんな曲を歌われても、素晴らしい歌唱力
その美声、そして圧倒的な声量、が、他を寄せ
つけません。
認同
Isao Sasaki is heroic voice
+jimmy araya Erwin DOES seem like the kind of girl who would enjoy this.
ささきいさおさんの歌声はヤマトにぴったりですね
大人の渋さって感じがしてすごくカッコいいな！
can you believe he was 60+ when performing this?
佐々木功さんがロックンロールを歌っていたときからイイ声だなぁと思ってました。日本のロックにはあまり良い曲が生まれなかったけど彼のプレスリーナンバーは素晴らしかった。やがて俳優を経てこの曲を歌った時、彼のために生まれた曲だと感じました。もっと早くにバラードを歌って欲しかったと思います。
2 1/2 minutes of pure joy. What a thrill for fans, young and old, to hear Isao Sasaki sing it with such vigor and sincere conviction.
I love this so much. You don't get this kind of connection with so many modern anime themes
amazing and perfect rendition by the OG himself!
YA-MAAA-TOOOO
gamiezion super battleship yamato , legendary ship
gamiezion Yamato hotel
Yamato is a spaceship not a hotel, huhue
1 of the legendary seiyuu Isao Sasaki San.
Wohoo! Gosh, i´m moved to tears! I´ve always listened to the theme of "Yamato" but never actually saw it live. My heart is beating faster! The most uplifting theme ever!
I'm so happy I stumbled across this! I love Uchuu Senkan Yamato, and this song is just fantastic! Very moving!
I love the Japanese opening song for Space Battleship Yamato
Isao you ROCK!!!!!!!!!!! Nobody can hold a candle to you. You are the Best of the Best.
His voice is so powerful! like with Conqueror's haki or something like that
The mighty jingles brought me here
true ... me too
Ditto, bro
What video?
My fat friend brought me here :)
He isn't qualified to hold my controller.
Este fue el.anime que me introdujo mas a fondo en este mundo del dibujo japones...no fue dragon ball ni otros, fue YAAAA MAAA TOOOO
One of the best songs ever heard. I dont know what but i cant stop listening to this song, it gave me somehow hope !
嗚嗚嗚嗚~~~~我小時後只是聽著盜版卡帶、從來也沒有看過他的真面目、隔了30年後、我才在網路上看的她的真面目、竟然是如此之帥、我晚了30年後才看到著個影像、感動的非常想哭呀!!!!!!!!!!!
Absolutely love this song and the show. He's a great singer. Great song to a fantastic show. I could sing this all day.
Every time I hear this song my blood boils.. thought out 40 years of my life!
GRAZIE MAESTRO IN ITALIA LE TUE CANZONI SUI I NOSTRI EROI DEI ANIME GIAPPONESI HA FATTO SOGNARE TANTISSIMI ADOLESCENTI!!!
سندفع الشر نرد ظلم كل المعتتدين
نملأ الدنيا بحب من قلوب الآمنين
اجعلوا قلوبكم اقوى من الحديد
وانظروا لأرضكم من اعالي السماء
نحن مغادرون ارضنا الحبيبة

Con esta canción volví a mi infancia 🤩
I love how you can hear the crowd singing with the guy...It shows that even the Japaneese(sp) can loose their cool when faced with something that they love :)
Underappreciated gem, the emotion stirs in anyone who listens
Wow oh wow..chills..
This is my every monday morning motivation tune
生で聞いてる人は羨ましい！
I can never get over how the crowd first does their polite clap for the next song..then once he starts and they realize what's coming up they erupt into cheer and start singing along.
His fav song ♥️ Imissyou 😢
What an amazing voice! Talent really knows no language barriers. Does he have any albums available in the UNITED STATES? I don't mind if it's not in English.
if he does go to a few music stores and ask for his disc's just write down his name so they can look for him :D
In case he's ever done any English albums, it's possible they can be found in the western world - considering he can sing in nearly flawless English.
true he did. but i still prefer the japanese version c:
YAAA-MAA-TOOOOOO~
16 may 2016, happy birthday Isao Sasaki from Italy, tantissimi auguri di buon compleanno.
Legendaryyyyyyyy
love the remake of this anime =)
Every “Yamato” Isao Sasaki sings gets me 16 times more hyped than I was the previous second, oof.
tom jones+jackie chan+ batleship yamato: Sasaki cantando EPICO OPENING
Com certeza!
Ele é o professor nambara do Jaspion
Just so you know, this is now almost a military anthem. It's now regularly performed by the Japan Self-Defense Forces (JSDF) naval band regularly.
They are now the Japanese War Force
That's why Japan is soo cool 😎

Arc Angel you and me both buddy
isao sasaki stratosferico....voce potente e grande carisma.
i saw SBS Yamato first in 1985 with 5y old, on SuperChannel... still loving it, and the old animes still rock
Thank you, Japanese Tom Jones.
You're not wrong. Hahaha
🤣😂
more like Japanese Elvis, Sasaki Isao is known as Elvis cover artist during his youth
this no tom this is elvis!
Greatest TV theme song in history. I will fight anyone who says otherwise.
This song turn me from sad to happy
Absolute banger of a song!
And what a beautiful voice he has! The live version is just as good as the studio version, if not better!
人類の宝物のような歌声！！！
ささきいさおさん！！！
My chest hair grew 100% longer only by listening Isao Sasaki manly performance. Extended use should be under medical control.
...
Who am I kidding ... putting this song on autorepeat.
Haha, I didn't know they did a Super Robot Spirits concert! That's great!
One the most epic anime hymn !!!!
Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yamato is the best. Sasaki is the best.
The music is strong.
Thanks for posting it.
dude, i'm with you all the way on every word you said. i still have pics even today of star blazers that i drew back in '82 and '83. me and my friends used to play neighborhood baseball and we would all take quit by 4pm to go home and watch it. i really wish they would remake star blazers with todays art and graphics.
He ( Isao Sasaki ) is the original singer for the theme song of Uchu Senkan Yamato.
@Yamato Takaharu ,
😲I was thinking something like that, as soon as I started hearing him sing those lyrics😞
I grew up on Star Blazers and this is honestly still, to this day, very likely my favorite theme from any show I have ever watched.
Such a rich, baritone voice. Sasaki Isao (IMO) is the best anime singer.
Thanks for the post!
2020 ... - salutes- YAMATO LAUNCH !!
I wish I could see him live! Sasaki-san is so great. Best. Song. Ever.
Nice, refreshing atmosphere introduced in this version. I like how it builds up. Long live Sasaki-san!
Sasaki-sama !!!
a musica da minha infancia...
Idem!😅
Wonderful voice!! I love this song, it touches eep in the heart of the listener. It Brings back memories of childhood.
Thanks for posting the video.
So epic and large breath...it seems to me like the best classical music of ever.
Iseo Sasaki best singer of ever.
It is a very good song.
when you unlock the Yamato in World of Warships
lmao
That voice gives me shivers and burst my heart in patriotic fervor. Indeed, long live space ship Yamato and Isao Sasaki.
memories *sigh* - saw this on an off channel as a kid in the 80s in the USA.. no idea it was so big... star wars-ish in Japan... anime didn't exist as an american genre yet... so surreal
Farewell, Leji Matumoto-Sama. Good luck on your journey...and be forever within the sea of stars.
When he said "さらば"
*I felt that*
my childhood in one live performance :D
tenho esta musica em cd.quando estou mal, ouço a todo volume, e me sinto bem melhor!é indiscutivelmente o melhor tema de tv que conheço!
Dude he's like Japanese Elvis! I love it!
Bellissima,io sono una grande esperto di anime modestamente sono il numero 1 questo è il grande Isao Sasaki che canta uchu bluenoa yumi . Purtroppo questo artista ci a lasciato 2 anni fa
