Part of the OST for Space Battleship Yamato 2199: Odyssey of the Celestial Ark Made by: Akira Miyagawa and Horishi Miyagawa Full playlist: • Space Battleship Yamat...
True story - some years ago I was on a flight to Tokyo from Heathrow and sat in business surrounded by very serious looking japanese businessmen - as soon as the In Flight Entertainment, half of them started scrolling through the selection to find Yamato and watch the series
I like the pace of this version, compared to the later, faster version. It's easy to forget that layering tracks creates complexity, and that creating tracks full of content, prevents aspects from standing out. The violin clearly stands out with the main theme, while the brass is allowed to fill and swell at key moments at a pace that lets the listener appreciate what it's building up to.
When my buddies and I all sailed out in Yamatos on console WOWS i started whistling this. My friend just said "you are obsessed with that anime." In my defense I had just finished 2199 and 2202...still reeling from the tear jerking endings. Ready for 2205 this fall
Best anime saga of its genre, best in this millenium. I've seen all episodes uncut when I resided in Europe. There will be never an anime that can rival it or even hold a candle to it. It is a true gem. Getting tears now and must go! Yamato/Argo Hasshin, forever in our hearts!!
@@yeetersnitzel6351 This anime is responsible of the making of many, many scifi animes such as evangelion, macross, gundam It's the same as dragon ball or hokuto no ken, being the starting point for a lot of anime sagas and genres You probably never heard of it, and thats not uncommon. It was first released in 1974 and meanwhile is not too popular in the western, it is starwars-like famous in Japan specially considering the battleship Yamato was a symbol of might to the imperial japanese navy
@@yeetersnitzel6351 Then it's your loss and I truly recommend that you watch it because there is nothing out there that can compare to this Japanese masterpiece, unique gem of a kind. You will not be disappointed. An incredible saga that will give you chills, stir emotions, thrills and an adrenaline rush like never experienced and of course endless tears at times. I watched the original series uncut and all episodes over 40 years ago while living in Italy. There many of us hardcore fans around the world. What I'm saying to you is just the tip of the iceberg, so please watch it all. You will be glad with no regrets.
@@actarusfleed6607 LoGH certainly compares, and in many ways it outshines Yamato. Let's be real here, Yamato isn't a bad series, but it's a celebration of the Japanese military, with Japan being the dominant country in the world. It's a fantasy, where emotions somehow always end up being correct over rationality, even in the military. The chain of command is a running joke in Yamato, as is treason. Anyone can do anything they want so long as they achieve results. It's not a bad show, but it's very far from perfect.
@@BrokenAngelWings Yeah. But GK can't rip your bow into fucking pices if you refuse to die to a neverending secondary hail. The 460's of Yamato do just that
rip mamaru kodai, who lived in the original show that was given to american audiences, star blazers, also, my source is the briefly shown Netflix version
I just put this video in loop mode so that I can listen this song for a few hours straight without interruptions. I'm in music heaven! Even if I'm not Japanese, I try to do my best singing it. One day my son overheard me singing it loud like Isao Sasaki and thought that I was crazy, but a good crazy! He never heard me singing in Japanese and I told him son, if you only knew what this music and anime is all about. He found out and replied, dad I have no words and got emotional.
It just works. The fanfare intro, the choir singing, the shanty-like verses, a freaking battleship! To me, this theme is my all time favorite anime theme.
SAME! Star Blazers was the true gateway! And I will say this as one of the oldest school of old-school fans - YAMATO 2199 IS HOW YOU DO A PROPER REMAKE!!!!
Same.... And I had no idea what Anime even was. I just knew that StarBlazers (and soon after, Robotech) were two programs that didn't insult my intelligence at at age of 7 or so. Seemed like every other show of the time had stupid villains that often lost because they were evil and thus weren't a threat at all. So the stakes meant nothing. You knew the "good guys" would always win, so what was the point? And then there was StarBlazers....... It was a formative moment when the captain actually died. My American kid brain at the time was so accustomed to last minute salvation for those pure of heart that kidbrain.exe stopped working for a second. Like, "Wait, no, they're supposed to earn a cure for him because he's the good guy..... wat" It was beautiful. And the second season (Comet Empire) was too. Leagues ahead of anything else available for me as a kid.
This WAS my soap opera as a child lol!!!! I don't care it will always be Star Blazers for me. Come on think, that's what we knew it as . Nevertheless, I'm gonna download the ring tone. Thanks for the memories.
Magnificent, can never get enough of this anime, Imagine my surprise when thinking 2202 was the last one, I found 2205, and learned a fourth is in the works.
Praise the Japanese for creating so many wonderful anime series. God bless them! Thank you for this marvelous upload RickyTheRedFox. The violin just strikes the chords at my heart and soul and is making me, a grown man cry like a child, like a toddler. Wonderful rendition.
I mean, we should praise: Leiji Matsumoto, Yoshinobu Nishizaki, and Eiichi Yamamoto. Praising the rest of Japan makes about as much sense as thanking the entire US for the MCU or DCEU.
(Season One - Intro) We’re off to outer space We’re leaving mother Earth To save, the human race Our Star Blazers Searching for a distant star Heading off to Iscandar Leaving all we love behind Who knows what dangers we’ll find We must be strong and brave Our home we have to save If we don’t in just one year Mother Earth will disappear Fighting with the Gamalons We won’t stop until we’ve won Then we’ll return and when we arrive The Earth will survive with our Star Blazers (Season Two - Intro) We’re off to outer space Protecting mother Earth To save, the human race Our Star Blazers Danger lurking everywhere But we know we’ve got to dare Evil men with evil Schemes They can’t destroy our dreams We must be strong and brave To stop his evil ways If Zordon plot should work He’ll destroy the universe We’ll fight the comet empire Battle through the raging fire Filled with the hope that Earth will survive We’ll keep peace alive with our Star Blazers

Anchors aweigh Away we go On a voyage to the unknown On the Space Battleship Yamato The power to heal our planet's scars Waits for us at Iscandar So we risk our lives on this turbulent sea of stars For the green earth For the blue sky We set out knowing we may die So our people's eternal seed Won't be crushed by foreigners' greed Sailing to a distant star Far away to Iscandar We have the strength to go that far Space Battleship Yamato
Dude! 1. Thank you so much for this piece! Hard to get lol. 2. If at all possible, please upload the Final Yamato OST. Can't find it anywhere (except for a few pieces).
Luan Luna First of all thank you, this is exactly the reason I uploaded the OST because I couldn't find it and I wanted people to listen to such a good soundtrack. P.s I'll see what I can do about the 2199 soundtrack ;)
RickyTheRedFox Awesome! The soundtracks for the 3 original series were recently removed and it flat out killed my SBY playlist lmao. There is still a 2199 playlist around but it would be nice to have a back-up just in case it gets removed haha.
I played this in Beat Saber the other day and I have been trying to find just the audio on RUclips. Thanks for uploading! I'm going to be using for a Space-Themed D&D I've been running with friends
Ever since getting caught up with this anime series, I can say this with ease over- Space Battleship Yamato > Star Wars VIII: Last Jedi. And this is a kickass theme rendition of the original opening for the SBY 2199: OotCA I just recently watched :)
@@quocvinhnguyen2063 I would've liked it if the Ginga never EVER appeared, it pissed me off so much, creating a replacement to the Yamato, like how dare they, even with a crew that hates them, wtaf lol...
So while I was in my Zaku 2 going 3x faster than a normal Zaku I stopped to take a drink and I saw this massive ship which had looked to be the Yamato from World War Two and I saw some bullet h tv ingat flight other green things I wonder if it’s this Pls tell me in comments this is char
is it weird that if it's a battleship (especially Yamato) I would like it... is it just me or Iowa gave me something I shouldn't have had... (USS Iowa is the first warship I ever liked)
True story - some years ago I was on a flight to Tokyo from Heathrow and sat in business surrounded by very serious looking japanese businessmen - as soon as the In Flight Entertainment, half of them started scrolling through the selection to find Yamato and watch the series
Wonderful story. It was a great series. A Saga that no one ever witnessed.
true man
Now I just imagine Japanese businesses men just going to business class to watch Yamato
When you ride an airplane in business class
Japanese businesses men: *INTENSE SCROLLING*

流石、葉加瀬太郎ですね。
何度も聴きたくなる
葉加瀬さんのコメントで「歌うように弾く事を意識した」ってありました。
ある意味納得です😄
It has power.
Cant believe Hiroshi Miyagawa's son (Akira) got to work on the remakes.

Ehh, I still prefer the faster-paced version, but this is still pretty damn good

step one: get yamato on world of warships
step two: spec for secondaries
step three: roll deep blasting this and getting 5 kills
step four: victory :)
Alternatively untill the Japanese Navy is introduced the Emden in War Thumnder works simmilarly when it comes to secondary firepower.
But hasn't the G.K a better secondaries tho?
@@zafranorbian757 its just announced, with furrytaka
@@BrokenAngelWings Yeah. But GK can't rip your bow into fucking pices if you refuse to die to a neverending secondary hail. The 460's of Yamato do just that

The Second National Anthem of Japan
At least the official anthem for the japanse navy😅
It just works. The fanfare intro, the choir singing, the shanty-like verses, a freaking battleship! To me, this theme is my all time favorite anime theme.
Hard to decide between this and Cowboy Bebop.
Love the violin part
nazreenpg tf2 medic should play it sfm
I love that they kept the theme from the original but just updated.
Speed Racer was my first anime. (1974 - WFLD TV in Chicago) But..
StarBlazers was my first anime passion!!! Domo arigato for this!!! 🎼🏯🙌

Crossing the waves, drifting on the galactic sea. Fixing our eyes on Alpha Centauri.

Magnificent, can never get enough of this anime, Imagine my surprise when thinking 2202 was the last one, I found 2205, and learned a fourth is in the works.
I thought so too and then recently i got corrected😅
The best version. I'm looking for that for a long time!!! Thanks a lot!!!

@@FeebleAntelope Yes I totally agree.
2020 - looks up - ALL HANDS PREPARE FOR COMBAT !!
(Season One - Intro)
We’re off to outer space
We’re leaving mother Earth
To save, the human race
Our Star Blazers
Searching for a distant star
Heading off to Iscandar
Leaving all we love behind
Who knows what dangers we’ll find
We must be strong and brave
Our home we have to save
If we don’t in just one year
Mother Earth will disappear
Fighting with the Gamalons
We won’t stop until we’ve won
Then we’ll return and when we arrive
The Earth will survive with our Star Blazers
(Season Two - Intro)
We’re off to outer space
Protecting mother Earth
To save, the human race
Our Star Blazers
Danger lurking everywhere
But we know we’ve got to dare
Evil men with evil Schemes
They can’t destroy our dreams
We must be strong and brave
To stop his evil ways
If Zordon plot should work
He’ll destroy the universe
We’ll fight the comet empire
Battle through the raging fire
Filled with the hope that Earth will survive
We’ll keep peace alive with our Star Blazers
This is the wrong lyrics.
Well, not exactly. Those lyrics are from "occidental" version of Space Battleship Yamato's main theme, even the series wasn't called "Space Battleship Yamato" but instead was called "Star Blazers"
The soundtrack for the 2199 movie was absolutely amazing!
Still fondly remember watching the original as a kid back n the early 80s, best sci/fi anime series ever IMO.
あれが戦艦大和だ…日本の漢の艦だ。
映画館で聞いて涙が止まらなかった…
All hands to your stations ! Engineering get the yamato ready we're launching now !
Anchors aweigh
Away we go
On a voyage to the unknown
On the Space Battleship
Yamato
The power to heal our planet's scars
Waits for us at Iscandar
So we risk our lives on this turbulent sea of stars
For the green earth
For the blue sky
We set out knowing we may die
So our people's eternal seed
Won't be crushed by foreigners' greed
Sailing to a distant star
Far away to Iscandar
We have the strength to go that far
Space Battleship Yamato

Please don't compare our glorious space battleship with that trainwreck of a movie.
Sorry I thought on my comment here would be Space Battleship Yamato is better than Star Wars VIII haha
Confused. Nice lulz
more accurate, Space Battleship Yamato 2202 > Star Wars VIII: Last Jedi.
Reverse that relational operator, boy.
Space Battleship Yamato is many times greater than the monstrosity of The Last Jedi.
