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!!!!!!!!!!
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!
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!
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 :)
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 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.
Space Battleship Yamato! Picture it your a little kid and you hear this start before every episode, that was my childhood as an American kid my dad loved the anime and so do I
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.

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!
but the IJN Yamato was already super thiccccccccccccccccccccc
@@britishneko3906DAMN BOY DAMN BOY HE THICC HES ONE THICC ASS BOY!!!
she was pretty big to begin with tho hehehhe
pls laugh
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).
Rest in peace Leiji Matsumoto, thanks to you we can appreciate the music made for the amazing anime you created.
This guy is like a Japanese Elvis , such style! He really seems enjoying performing and the song he's singing.
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。

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

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…
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)
This never gets old. Space Battleship Yamato forever!

One of the best classic anime songs ever. Sung by the EPIC ISAO SASAKI.
is he make boruto openinhg
@@Matheus-pw4jyNo way lol
His Voice is more then amazing... He really feels what he is singing... Thank you...
i love voice like this so much
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"
Isao Sasaki is heroic voice
+jimmy araya Erwin DOES seem like the kind of girl who would enjoy this.
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.
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。
大人の渋さって感じがしてすごくカッコいいな！
YA-MAAA-TOOOO
gamiezion super battleship yamato , legendary ship
gamiezion Yamato hotel
Yamato is a spaceship not a hotel, huhue
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 love this so much. You don't get this kind of connection with so many modern anime themes
I love the Japanese opening song for Space Battleship Yamato
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.
I'm so happy I stumbled across this! I love Uchuu Senkan Yamato, and this song is just fantastic! Very moving!
ささきいさおさんの歌声はヤマトにぴったりですね
Anyone else think that Isao Sasaki sorta looks like Elvis?
He looks like Johnny Cash too
Ahaha
erm, Isao Sasaki started out as an Elvis impersonator before becoming an anisong artist
Elvis looks like him
It was my first thought, too XDD
He's the Japanese Elvis
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!
This is my every monday morning motivation tune
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!!!!!!!!!!!
His voice is so powerful! like with Conqueror's haki or something like that
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
Every time I hear this song my blood boils.. thought out 40 years of my life!
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 :)
Absolutely love this song and the show. He's a great singer. Great song to a fantastic show. I could sing this all day.
Isao you ROCK!!!!!!!!!!! Nobody can hold a candle to you. You are the Best of the Best.
One of the best songs ever heard. I dont know what but i cant stop listening to this song, it gave me somehow hope !
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 his voice...
yes like brotuo fan
سندفع الشر نرد ظلم كل المعتتدين

اجعلوا قلوبكم اقوى من الحديد
وانظروا لأرضكم من اعالي السماء
نحن مغادرون ارضنا الحبيبة
nani
Every “Yamato” Isao Sasaki sings gets me 16 times more hyped than I was the previous second, oof.
Underappreciated gem, the emotion stirs in anyone who listens
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.
soul sucessfully recharged
haha yes! joke funny!!! isao sasaki fan like naruto

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
Greatest TV theme song in history. I will fight anyone who says otherwise.
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!
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.
Con esta canción volví a mi infancia 🤩
This just proves that musicians, especially master musicians, are a unique group. They must be willing to reveal their inner soul to the world.
His fav song ♥️ Imissyou 😢
16 may 2016, happy birthday Isao Sasaki from Italy, tantissimi auguri di buon compleanno.
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.
love the remake of this anime =)
Haha, I didn't know they did a Super Robot Spirits concert! That's great!
Legendaryyyyyyyy

This song turn me from sad to happy
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😞
When he said "さらば"
*I felt that*
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!
One of the greatest pieces of Sci-Fi Space Operas! YAMATOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Yamato forever! :-)
いさおラブ〜元気でるわー
YAAA-MAA-TOOOOOO~
he is just awesome :)
100% agree :)
Hnin Moe when i hear this song i am like battle mode on xD lets get going no one will stand in my way no one haha xD
i feel like i am in yamato when i hear it
CoOKie i know i will be singing this while im using the Yamato on world of warships :D
Arc Angel you and me both buddy
One the most epic anime hymn !!!!
That voice gives me shivers and burst my heart in patriotic fervor. Indeed, long live space ship Yamato and Isao Sasaki.
isao sasaki stratosferico....voce potente e grande carisma.
a musica da minha infancia...
Idem!😅
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
2020 ... - salutes- YAMATO LAUNCH !!
Farewell, Leji Matumoto-Sama. Good luck on your journey...and be forever within the sea of stars.
2018 yamato , nuclear cruiser missiles : VLS cell , sm3 block 2 , Sm6 , railgun , s500 anti air missile , zircon anti ship missile , status 6 nuclear torpedo . Super ship . japan no.1
Hands down the greatest anime theme of all time.
Little fast. And I prefer the orchestrated version. But this voice sounds exactly like you're hearing the intro.
This is why japanese animes are invincible. Shimon masato + what a gorgeous lineup.
This song will rock till the end of time
I wish I could see him live! Sasaki-san is so great. Best. Song. Ever.
It is a very good song.
Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yamato is the best. Sasaki is the best.
The music is strong.
Thanks for posting it.
ありがとう
Still the best version after all those years
my childhood in one live performance :D
RIP Leiji Matsumoto. Galaxy Express 999 traveled to the Eternal Galaxy in the Ultimate Supercluster.
So epic and large breath...it seems to me like the best classical music of ever.
Iseo Sasaki best singer of ever.
