It's 1979. I'm 7 years old, sitting in front of the television enjoying STARBLAZERS on any given weeknight. While I'm sitting there, sometimes my mother brings me a cup of tea and a saucer with four chocolate chip cookies for teatime, and I can see her watching me from the kitchen, smililing. 17 years later, Dec. 22, 1996. I watch her die quickly and suddenly from a heart attack on the way to hospital at 1am, Sunday morning. The Christmas before was the last one my father and I ever celebrate. For me, Christmas ended forever on December 25, 1995. Hearing this song reduced me to tears as I remember her. I don't think I ever got over her passing, don't think I ever will. At this writing, it's been almost 27 years since she left us. All I can do when I hear this song in any form is to cry like a baby and remember her.
To Leiji Matsumoto, Yoshinobu nishizaki, and Amy Howard Wilson. Thank you! Without any of you I would not be an anime fan matsumoto Sensei your ideals and characters mecha love for history and millitary things, would not have made me who I am today! Nishizaki you were an eccentric man but your love for ships and sci fi still are in me. And Amy Howard Wilson thank you for being the voice of my childhood I’ve watched star blazers at four years old and have gone on to read and watch many of me matsumoto and nishizaki anime and stories. You have inspired me and made me who I am R.I.P to all of you, Where the ring of time touches in the vast sea of stars we will meet again!
The end of this story emotionally killed me. Yamato's final journey began when everyone's life ended, with the last crew member seated at the helm of the ship, holding onto the body of his dearly beloved who has just passed away. In their final moments they witnessed the souls of their fellow crew members inside the ship, accompanying them to their last journey through the timeless stars, spreading into the infinity of the universe and the afterlife.
This song makes me remember the valiant Captain of the Yamato, he was a brave man and fought to get to Iskandar to save humanity even while hiding his radiation poisoning which was killing him
A very beautiful piece of music, both the melody and the voice...I remember this being a powerful piece when watching Star Blazers as a kid in the 1980's. Still is a hauntingly brilliant piece of music.
Its the best feeling ever When I listen to this song and look at the stars. Just the thought of how far away they are from us. How many other galaxies there are in the universe. Could there be other life? Just looking up to the stars and thinking about all this, and of course something that goes with the song, is the universe infinite? We dont know. So many things about the universe that cant be answered. And this song just fills my mind with questions. I've lost a lot of modivation to work hard in school, and my mind just hasnt really done much but Yamato...the music, everything. Its actually gotten me interested in space and science. Its probably the first time I've been so interested in something actually important or useful in my life. But yeah, pro tip: listen to this song while star gazing
I do just that and when I look up to the stars and listen to this music I can see the Yamato (Argo) sailing across the starscape. What I would give to journey across the universe!!!!🚀🚀🚀🚀🪐🪐🪐🪐
I just finished watching Yamato 2199 and I must admit, I cried a little during the last ep. Yuki coming back tore me up. Thought it was great incorporating Mamoru Kodai in the Cosmo Reverser. Will miss these characters. It was great getting to know all of them.
Dennis B They did a great job with this new adaptation. I haven't watched all of it, but I plan to. Thanks again for posting the episodes. They did a wonderful job of adding more depth to the Gamilas. I felt bad for Shulz, especially in the episode in which the Yamato blasted its way through an immense solar flare, and his last thoughts before dying were of his family.
Maravilloso recuerdo, aqui en Chile se llamo "Nave Espacial", personajes prinsipales eran Perseo, Febo, Selene y el Capitan Aquiles, quienes cruzaron el espacio para llegar a Izkandar donde los esperaba Sacha para entregarles el purificador que terminaria con la radiacion en la Tierra, luego que desde Gamilas nos atacaran. Que bellos recuerdos de infancia en la decada de los '70. Saludos a todos.
I watch star blazers with my dad, every time this song comes in I think of how beautiful it is, we sing along, not very good but we sing high opera lol. This is so beautiful and I think that the nostalgia coming back to other people, I'm only 13 and the way ik about this is cause of my dad, I love it.
Some time somewhere out there in the far reaches of space and in the distant future someone will play this music as that person cruises through and beyond the vast cosmos.
The reaches of the vast universe compared to the limits of our inner humanity and hampered spirits. This music tries to bridge that gap, and like the best sci-fi, allows us to perceive the glories and the possibilities if we just let it.
Diva song is one thing, this is another. Grateful as a Japanese for so many positive comments on the performance. (In one of the beautiful posters, in lower left reads "big offer ¥ 980" makes me chuckle!)
I Cannot Bare To See What Has Become Of Earth. Once Green And Growing With Blue Lakes And Silver Streams, Great Rivers And Mighty Seas, Now All Gone! Only Day And Burning Desert Left, Radiation Everywhere!
In my mind this song echoes sometimes with the "ecstasy of Gold" of Morricone. Anyway a very transporting and oneiric ode to the endless and unlimited space.
Man, what a find. Always loved this since the early Starblazers....Had found out some time ago that the performer is named kazuko kawashima. Here's an link that's a favorite: Kazuko Kawashima - The Earth 【HD】ruclips.net/video/m3Mn-r-uh18/видео.html. Another find: Space Battleship Yamato]【南林弥宏指揮】「宇宙戦艦ヤマト」ruclips.net/video/SQigMeZkM8g/видео.html
Imagen yourself in the middle of a battle and you and you fellow soldiers hear this inside a cave nearby and you stop shooting and so does the enemy as everyone walks to the cave and then when you reach the cave you said an illusion set by a creature and then it eats you wile you try to grab your M4A1
Is this song originally intended that's Starsha's 'howl' ? And is this the FIRST picture of Starsha as Leiji Matsumoto draw? she looked alot like Sexaroid Yuki Seven (Also his creation for his manga).
Se algum brasileiro aparecer por aqui, sem dúvida recordará daquelas tardes nos anos oitenta, quando assistíamos o anime Patrulha Estelar / Yamato na Rede Manchete, e esse bonito tema musical nos fazia imaginar participando de alguma incrível aventura espacial.
até para engrossar o comentário dos dois colegas, sou curtidor do anime, e não só do anime quanto suas trilhas as quais sempre escuto, pena que parte delas o detentor dos direitos tirou algumas as quais são apaixonantes, principalmente a trilha do ultimo eps da primeira temporada a qual tem a personagem conhecida como guardiana, olha companheiros até emociona de ouvir, felicidades ha os dois.
Is that woman in picture Starsha as Leiji Matsumoto created her? And did this song made per Leiji Matsumoto's specifications? since this will add Shojo feel to SBY (Leiji was also did Shojo manga before. the last of the Shojo genre was Torajima no Miime, dedicated to his pet cat, Miikun)

Rest in Peace Leiji Matsumoto.
I hope Matsumoto-san heard this as he passed, knowing his legacy will continue to live on in the hearts of all
I can’t explain how the soundtrack to this amazing series touches my heart
I feel the same way.
RIP Amy Howard Wilson (Nova)
I’ll look up at the stars and think of you
Beautiful piece of music. It's on a CD on my alarm clock and this is the music I wake up to every morning.
It's a great one to wake up to, at that!
Sweet but sad...
I'm back. I wake up to the Andromeda theme because of a headcanon joke that Hijikata is the type to BLAST it.

Bealty universe
Star Blazers has a special place in my heart.
This, plus the narrator telling us how many days are left for Earth, have stuck with me for over 40 years.
No words to talk a masterpiece in sci-fi animes and movies.

I'd like to hear this song performed at the International Space Station someday.
19madmod6960 Maybe if We fans signed a petition it might happen.
i think the japanese would approve
This Show was my world when I saw it as a kid. Still ignites my imagination still.
This was my absolute fav... took me 30+ years to find it... thank you so very much Taiguara Ferreira
Gorgeous - as a child, it entranced me... lovely and haunting.

This the track that gives me goose bumps when listening after all those decades. Thanks for uploading!
I'm crying...
Truly a MASTERPIECE!!!! This musical piece of heaven stirs many emotions within my soul rendering me speechless & full of joy & tears.
Such a beautiful piece.
You really can’t beat the Starblazers / Yamato soundtrack - it elevated the entire show.
As far as my 8 y.o. memory can recall, the Iscandar girl's name was Starsha or somthing like that. never forgot the music,even after 40 years.
In my will I will request this to be played at my funeral
Good call.
Me too
May Matsumoto-san rest in peace
I watch star blazers with my dad, every time this song comes in I think of how beautiful it is, we sing along, not very good but we sing high opera lol. This is so beautiful and I think that the nostalgia coming back to other people, I'm only 13 and the way ik about this is cause of my dad, I love it.
So beautiful and resonating. I've been a fan of this song for many years. I will love it forever
bellissima
Damz, i having searching for this track. Thanks

This wonderful piece of music has a pensive, haunting beauty to it.
Thank you immensely for preserving this amazing song from a truly life changing show. Thank the Japanese people for this master peace
This is the soundtrack that I would want on my death bed and funeral. Thank you for this marvellous upload Taiguara.
Some time somewhere out there in the far reaches of space and in the distant future someone will play this music as that person cruises through and beyond the vast cosmos.
Favolosa
I'm getting flashbacks to "The Great Gig in the Sky"
Sooooo beautiful
Magnificent piece of music. Brings me back to when I was 10!!

Anyway a very transporting and oneiric ode to the endless and unlimited space.
Amazing. (poesia pura)
Beautiful voice,the same singer was also in Saint Seiya.
Thankyou 😔
Always loved this theme
Most iconic song
Thank you
Thanks 😢
Space Battleship Yamato, great history.
Man, what a find. Always loved this since the early Starblazers....Had found out some time ago that the performer is named kazuko kawashima.

....haunting
brilliant song
BELLO, EXELENT, A1.
So this music is a signature of entire Leijiverse. not just Yamato.
There're only 198 days left!
Outstanding!
Powerfully beautiful. I prefer this version over 2199.
Imagen yourself in the middle of a battle and you and you fellow soldiers hear this inside a cave nearby and you stop shooting and so does the enemy as everyone walks to the cave and then when you reach the cave you said an illusion set by a creature and then it eats you wile you try to grab your M4A1
Very cool Marcus.

Upon my death, I'd like for my remains to be expelled into space. I want this song to signal my passing.
Mais bela composição musical para um Anime dos anos oitenta!
Dá vontade de chorar...
Valeu, irmão. Super difícil achar esse tema.
Se algum brasileiro aparecer por aqui, sem dúvida recordará daquelas tardes nos anos oitenta, quando assistíamos o anime Patrulha Estelar / Yamato na Rede Manchete, e esse bonito tema musical nos fazia imaginar participando de alguma incrível aventura espacial.
Resumiu com perfeição meu sentimento...A música é sensacional e o anime maravilhoso
até para engrossar o comentário dos dois colegas, sou curtidor do anime, e não só do anime quanto suas trilhas as quais sempre escuto, pena que parte delas o detentor dos direitos tirou algumas as quais são apaixonantes, principalmente a trilha do ultimo eps da primeira temporada a qual tem a personagem conhecida como guardiana, olha companheiros até emociona de ouvir, felicidades ha os dois.
Cale-se
Absolutely beautiful music. Where could I find those images at a decent resolution?
imagine the real battleship yamato has been bombarded by american planes till explode and sunk slowly 😭😭😭
Is that woman in picture Starsha as Leiji Matsumoto created her?
And did this song made per Leiji Matsumoto's specifications? since this will add Shojo feel to SBY (Leiji was also did Shojo manga before. the last of the Shojo genre was Torajima no Miime, dedicated to his pet cat, Miikun)

Begins in G minor.
