Haim Saban admired tokusatsu shows,so he wanted to bring the adaptation to the western world.He's not really ripping off a storyline,tokusatsu is a japanese term for live action films/shows with superheroes of that style.
+Joseph McCay considering the vast majority of MMPR is stock footage of Super Sentai, I'm more inclined toward couldnt do it because he'd need the Sentai actors or new ones that look like them. Probably too much effort for the sake of a single episode sadly.
It sounds so odd hearing the Power Rangers theme sung by a Japanese group. Power Rangers is just an Americanized Super Sentai, it would make more sense to do a cover of one of those openings! It's like musical incest!
The original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers theme is actually the only thing that makes the Americanized Super Sentai stand out on par with the Original Super Sentai themes.
In the beginning, there was nothing, until the Big Clash, caused by Captain Falcon's mighty Falcon Punch and Chuck Norris' incredible Roundhouse Kick. The resulting energy and force from the attacks created the planets, galaxies, solar systems, and, of course, Masaaki Endoh. It is said that Masaaki is a time traveler, and that he only shows up when epic amounts of manly unbalance the universe. It is after he appears that manliness turns into a universal constant.
OmniTerror All: It's Morphin' time! Yusei: Stardust Dragon! Jack: Red Archfiend Dragon! Crow: Blackwinged Dragon! Akiza: Black Rose Dragon! Luna: Ancient Fairy Dragon! Leo: Power Tool Dragon! And the Megazord is Shooting Quasar Dragon.
That's actually what they were discussing, but Power Rangers isn't a rippoff. It's a direct adaptation of Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger, a fully licensed remix of the original fight scenes and new footage filmed stateside.
@AnimeDoomOfNoD ...now imagine what would happen if Saban could convince Endoh to do it again for a PR movie...theaters exploding from the sheer awesomeness.... :D
@PinballWizardCake Are you kidding? The folks who made the Japanese footage that Power Rangers is made from LOVE the American Version. Especially because it lets them see completly different storylines, yet familiar footage.
So true. In fact, the videogame "Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty" laid that fact bare in one of the most brutally crude post-modern approaches ever. There is a reason the central theme of that game is "MEME".
They know the fate of the world is lying in their hands They know to only use their weapons for defense No one will ever take them down The power lies on their side Go, go, Power Rangers Go, go, Power Rangers Go, go, Power Rangers You, Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers
Hakaishi00 don't just 'lol' and state a fact. Zyuranger had no story besides the Burai stuff, Burai even being a publicity stunt to get interest back in the show and Sentai. The show was full of stupid kid plots. The characters had no character growth. The kids where treated as more important than the ZyuRanger. The plots where always solved by a Deus ex machina. The setting was inconsistent. The story is full of plot holes. The motivations always come in the last second.
If anyone's going to start talking about ripping-off, I'm surprised no one mentioned that Power Rangers is based off the Super Sentai series, a Japanese series. Knock it off folks. ;)
I never cried at Bambi's mother's death, or at the death of Old Yeller BUT I CRIED LIKE A WOMAN WHEN LISTENING TO THIS! THANK YOU GOD FOR JAM PROJECT!!!
Of course You have the right to voice your opinion everyone has !!! And I do agree with you as well about you liking the original more than this one because I feel the same way!!!!!
Lightning49 Thanks for your support. Somtimes, it seems you can't have an opinion here without some idiot flaming you for liking something they don't. Know what I mean?
I actually have a plug in on firefox that I use to disable my ability to post comments, but also to keep anyone else's comments from showing up on the page, because all the hatred just stresses me out. there's also one for chrome (which I usually only use for one or two sites that firefox has trouble with, but for some reason I'm on youtube on chrome now), but I haven't gotten around to installing that one.
No one will ever take them down The power lies on their side Go, go, Power Rangers Go, go, Power Rangers Go, go, Power Rangers You, Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers Go, go, Power Rangers Go, go, Power Rangers Go, go, Power Rangers Go, go, Power Rangers Go, go, Power Rangers Go, go, Power Rangers Go, go, Power Rangers
I love how this cover gave the Power Rangers theme a more Sentai flavor.
Even more so considering Endoh sang Abaranger's theme
Kyoryoku Sentai Poweranger!
Kyuukyoku Sentai Poweranger
This makes me want to build a time machine, just for the sake of going back and giving my eleven-year-old self a high-five.
Same
This is without question the supreme version of this song, it perfectly captures the essence of all that Power Rangers is.
Dear Masaaki Endoh,
Please sing every song ever from now on.
Love,
Everyone
Haim Saban admired tokusatsu shows,so he wanted to bring the adaptation to the western world.He's not really ripping off a storyline,tokusatsu is a japanese term for live action films/shows with superheroes of that style.
This man did Clear Mind. He is a musical god!
Everything Endoh Masaaki sings are always epic.
Endoh and JAM Project could make me watch anything if they do the opening.
The same man whose music makes Gurren Lagann even more badass than it already was. My God.
What would happen if Masaaki and Ron teamed up to do a Super Senti or Power Rangers theme?
The awesomeness would be too much for our minds!
It would tear a hole in the fabric of reality that would cause all three of our realities to fuse together.
Have you heard Ron lately? He took pixar firing him hard.
It would have been this theme
Won’t happen. Our heads would explode.
Finnaly, the perfect blend of amercian and japanese!
PR meets SS!
I love when Endoh does the covers to anything!
This may very well be my absolute favorite cover of the MMPR theme.
This doesn't sound bad at all! It's actually quite good!
Super Sentai X Power Rangers Crossover!
SABAN, MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!
Too bad Sabans an asshole and probably wouldn't unless he got majority of the profits.
+Joseph McCay considering the vast majority of MMPR is stock footage of Super Sentai, I'm more inclined toward couldnt do it because he'd need the Sentai actors or new ones that look like them. Probably too much effort for the sake of a single episode sadly.
I think it would be hard to tell them apart.
Miner Games yeah that was weird episode I hate my elf for calling a abaranger the dumb one but dino thunder was good
Super Sentai from Toei
Power Rangers from Saban
it's actually Sorairo Days, but that's a minor detail in the face of MASAKI ENDOH!!!
Goddamnit, I wish I went to Anime Boston this year. I bet he sung this there.
This takes me back to when I was a kid. Awesome!!!
OMG...
First Hokuto no Ken and now this... Masaaki Endoh sure makes godly theme covers.
It sounds so odd hearing the Power Rangers theme sung by a Japanese group. Power Rangers is just an Americanized Super Sentai, it would make more sense to do a cover of one of those openings! It's like musical incest!
I liked your comment solely because of your "musical incest" phrase!
K its not americanized sentai .. its different lol...
This song sounds KINDA like the english version. XD
Maybe he(masaaki endoh) thinks that the son of the MM power rangers sonds better than the normal openings of the super sentai series
The original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers theme is actually the only thing that makes the Americanized Super Sentai stand out on par with the Original Super Sentai themes.
Endoh sure knows how to make a song sound more epic! :O
I miss the good Power Rangers
Masaaki does that with EVERYTHING
In the beginning, there was nothing, until the Big Clash, caused by Captain Falcon's mighty Falcon Punch and Chuck Norris' incredible Roundhouse Kick. The resulting energy and force from the attacks created the planets, galaxies, solar systems, and, of course, Masaaki Endoh. It is said that Masaaki is a time traveler, and that he only shows up when epic amounts of manly unbalance the universe. It is after he appears that manliness turns into a universal constant.
I'm imagining power rangers in TTGL style,is this theme that awesome?
***** Just imagine that giant megazord doing a Giga Drill Breaker,everyone would die hahaha
Kosaburo Ijymo Now imagine a Gigazord as STTGL.
God that would be amazing
+Kosaburo Ijymo 'Twould be called a Cosmoszord if you ask me.
SoraDonaldGoofy99 Spiralzord
Anyone notice how the video URL has the name "Zed" in it :3
NANI?!
YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS!!
ZED IS HERE
Diantha: "Sycamore, Lysandre's escaped! Recruit a team of teenage Trainers with attitude!"
Calem: "Alright guys.. It's Morphin' Time!"
Tierno: "Mamoswine!"
Shauna: "Aerodactyl!"
Trevor: "Bastiodon!"
Serena: "Saber-toothed Persian!"
Calem: "Tyrantrum!"
Red: "Dragonite Zord!"
Dear gods we do have pokemon analogies now don't we?
CryoJnik Given the plot of X/Y, oh yes, we do indeed.
YES!!! So much motherfucking YES!!!!
Now that I've had a year to think on it, it should be Saber-toothed Raikou lol
noodles00p The post-game stuff reminded me ALOT of a Kamen Rider W episode.
Awesome song it should be a ringtone for phone for people that like the Power Rangers.
Masaaki Endoh-san Talking in English? Sugoi xD
If this is the theme song of the new Power Rangers movie...ALL MY MONEY.
Lenoh FANS: TAKE OUR FRICKING MONEY!!!!!
DO IT NOWWWW!!!!!!
Endoh Masaaki, making everything better since... quite a while. =D
Pure epicness. That's what it would sound like.
This needs to be the version they use for the movie
Z-ONE: Lazar the Dark Signers scaped, recruit a team of Duelists with attitude
OmniTerror All: It's Morphin' time! Yusei: Stardust Dragon! Jack: Red Archfiend Dragon! Crow: Blackwinged Dragon! Akiza: Black Rose Dragon! Luna: Ancient Fairy Dragon! Leo: Power Tool Dragon!
And the Megazord is Shooting Quasar Dragon.
Z.one still has the best THEME amongst the entire series!!!
Shouldn't it have been Goodwin instead
The Dark Signers are the Psycho Rangers.
That's actually what they were discussing, but Power Rangers isn't a rippoff. It's a direct adaptation of Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger, a fully licensed remix of the original fight scenes and new footage filmed stateside.
I am picturing a Megazord combination sequence in Super Robot Wars style like the SRX team's variable formation!
I don't care if i can't understand what the hell they're saying, it's wonderful
go go power rangers = go go power rangers
Now let's hear Ron Wasserman do Zyuranger.
But wouldn't it make more sense for him to cover one of the Sentai songs Endoh did, like Abaranger?
If only
aww..i like the guitar part after "go, go, power rangeeers".. but sadly there's no part like that in this version... -_-
Yea, if this version had that it would be 100% more badass than the US version. But as it stands it's about equal.
if it did, your speakers would've burst into flames from all that hot blood
@AnimeDoomOfNoD ...now imagine what would happen if Saban could convince Endoh to do it again for a PR movie...theaters exploding from the sheer awesomeness.... :D
@PinballWizardCake Are you kidding? The folks who made the Japanese footage that Power Rangers is made from LOVE the American Version. Especially because it lets them see completly different storylines, yet familiar footage.
Endoh Masaaki, That was the Japanese Government on the phone, they want to talk to you about becoming the Japanese God of Rock and Roll. ^_^
So true. In fact, the videogame "Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty" laid that fact bare in one of the most brutally crude post-modern approaches ever. There is a reason the central theme of that game is "MEME".
We've just come full circle, haven't we?
They know the fate of the world is lying in their
hands
They know to only use their weapons for defense
No one will ever take them down
The power lies on their side
Go, go, Power Rangers
Go, go, Power Rangers
Go, go, Power Rangers
You, Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers
listening this make me excited they remake power rangers song for power rangers the movie in 2017!!
Just released the teaser trailer for it. Actually looks really good somehow. My hope has not been crushed yet!
this, the ron wasserman 2012 redux or the Powerglove cover would be awesome.
Ultimate cook not gonna pick up in the back of thegxgfv.
....."....?????"?????
I feel my power growing.. Henshin Endoh Masaki's Microphone! Mwa hahaha.. now I have the power!
Muito bom esse som do Power Rangers,as músicas classicas do power rangers são muito boa!! Esse som metal!! muito doido !
Obrigado pelo muito doido afinal o masaki endoh e demais e gravou o tema de abertura de ultraman z
We need JAM Project power!
Dear sweet god... The Young Lion has even covered THIS!? HIS GLORIOUS EPIC IS ENDLESS!
Let the nostalgia flow through you
I really like the "Ooooo-ooooo" in the background
this remix makes me easily think of various power rangers in super robot wars or at least the original super sentai
THE KING OF RANGERS IS BORN
I'd like to see Rica Matsumoto do a cover of the English theme song of Pokémon in this vein.
That'd actually be pretty cool!
I like how Japan took notice of what we did with super sentai.
They actually dubbed MMPR in Japanese. interesting enough they liked it more than Zyuranger haha
Ricardo Contreras
Because we didn't mindlessly copy what they did. Saban took everything and made something slightly different while being similar.
Nakano Hitori plus ZyuRanger was a weaker Sentai seires, talking down to their audience
FaiD Review lul nope.zyuranger is much better than mmpr.
Hakaishi00 don't just 'lol' and state a fact.
Zyuranger had no story besides the Burai stuff, Burai even being a publicity stunt to get interest back in the show and Sentai. The show was full of stupid kid plots. The characters had no character growth. The kids where treated as more important than the ZyuRanger. The plots where always solved by a Deus ex machina. The setting was inconsistent.

GO! GO! ZYURANGER GO! GO! ZYURANGER GO! GO! ZYURANGER
MIGHTY MORPHIN ZYURANGER
Endoh FTW!!!!!
Suddenly, Power Rangers on a SRW did not seem that bad.
I can't unsee it.
Retsu that's easily the biggest sin of srw: The fact that no megazord has been in it.
WWTTFFFFFFFFFFFFF I was just thinking how cool a Gurren Lagann x Power Rangers mashup would be and then I see THIS!?!?
If anyone's going to start talking about ripping-off, I'm surprised no one mentioned that Power Rangers is based off the Super Sentai series, a Japanese series. Knock it off folks. ;)
VERY GOOD!!!! I'M GREAT FAN MASAAKI ENDOH!!!!!
SCREW RULES! Endoh can play all of the songs he pleases INCLUDING THIS!
i just learned this existed and my life is better
@Brunswick1mcmufin That's the logo Disney used when they effed up the first season.
I also prefer the original, but this was a very good effort, 8/10.
I never cried at Bambi's mother's death, or at the death of Old Yeller BUT I CRIED LIKE A WOMAN WHEN LISTENING TO THIS! THANK YOU GOD FOR JAM PROJECT!!!
Endoh-sama is the GOD of kickass, bow before him in humility thine petty mortals!!!!!!
Did I Just Listen To The Cover Of A Well-Known Theme Song, In Which The Cover Is By A Equally-Known Artist Whose Name Took The Stage In Anime?!?
oh shit this is better than the original go go power rangers theme DAMN man
O.O M-Masaki did the theme for this?
NERDGASM!!!
*Explodes*
Excuse me while I bring out my old Megazord toy and play with it while listening to this at maximum volume.
JAM project just slapped the manliness into this kids TV series intro
its morphin time!
The Ginyu Force are on the way!
Name chain begins here!!
RECOOME!!
***** BURTER!!
***** CAPTAIIIIIINNNN......GINYU!!!
***** NOW YOU KNOW THE POWER OF....
+ryuken hado ULTRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA COMBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
OH GOD
MY CHILDHOOD IS CRYING TEARS OF HAPPY AND MANLYNESS.
Kamina just came back and liked this song .
i like this version better
I wasnt talking about the theme, I was talking about the show as a whole.
time traveler: moves a rock
the timeline:
I Really really like this. But oh gawdy, the engrish....
Engrish is the best English
E N G R I S H
I'm probably making a mistake voicing my opinion here but, while I like this version I do prefer the original.
Of course You have the right to voice your opinion everyone has !!! And I do agree with you as well about you liking the original more than this one because I feel the same way!!!!!
Lightning49 Thanks for your support. Somtimes, it seems you can't have an opinion here without some idiot flaming you for liking something they don't. Know what I mean?
Lol I know that feeling this is exactly why I don't put youtube videos !!!!
I actually have a plug in on firefox that I use to disable my ability to post comments, but also to keep anyone else's comments from showing up on the page, because all the hatred just stresses me out. there's also one for chrome (which I usually only use for one or two sites that firefox has trouble with, but for some reason I'm on youtube on chrome now), but I haven't gotten around to installing that one.
PKMN37 Honestly, the engrish on this one kinda holds it back... Don't get me wrong, this is good, but it's hard to beat my nostalgia for the original.
EPICNESS!!!
ENDOH!!!!!!,....THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY....
No one will ever take them down
The power lies on their side
Go, go, Power Rangers
Go, go, Power Rangers
Go, go, Power Rangers
You, Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers
Go, go, Power Rangers
Go, go, Power Rangers
Go, go, Power Rangers
Go, go, Power Rangers
Go, go, Power Rangers
Go, go, Power Rangers
Go, go, Power Rangers
Anything musical + Masaaki Endoh = Epic
Oh, definitely awesome.
I know, I love his version of it :D

...My mind just blew up.
@mets2128 than you obviously haven't seen gokaiger, its the series we all have been waiting for. the series that uses EVERY SINGLE RANGER POWER
Oh, yeah, I do that too! I mean, it gets so annoying just waiting for your bread to toast that you can't help but tuck into some more bread, right?
Mastodon,Pterodactyl,Triceratops,Sabretooth Tiger,Tyrannosarus,White Tiger!
This is the best thing ever!!!
I love it! Though I don't know why, I kinda want to hear the song translated in Japanese...
This exists!? Awesome
uhhhhhhhhhhh......*speachless*
OMG! Nostalgia win.
90S HARDER
