Gatchaman Song in English

I ran across this in a You Tube search...it's funny to hear the Gatchaman theme song being sung in English- I can't remember if this song has actually been performed in English lyrics before...

Animetal- Gatchaman in English

Very nice find Springie.
You are right it is not something I have seen or heard before. But, it looks like it has been cut and put together from a longer piece, perhaps so the images would fit. I would have liked to have heard and seen more.

I've never heard it in English before... that was a cool find!

CD, I agree... it's bits and pieces. Perhaps they did a part English/part Japanese version in concert?

I made a cap of the first, and found an only slightly larger image of the second, elsewhere online.

Not very high-res at all, but maybe someone here will know where larger versions can be found.

Neat!

It's gotten me curious now, about the English translation of the lyrics.

The singer's singing this:

Who is it? Who is it? Who is it?
Shadow that dances through the distant sky
He’s soaring up with his white wings, Gatchaman
Flying out now, he’s flying on ???
Science Ninja ???

Fly, fly, fly, Gatchaman
Go, go, go, Gatchaman

(some bits I can't make out)


This is different from the ADV version, which is:

Who is it? Who is it? Who is it?
The shadow dancing high in the sky
It’s the white wings of Gatchaman
You stake your life and fly out
That’s the Science Ninja Technique Firebird

Fly, fly, fly, Gatchaman
Go, go, go, Gatchaman



And then there's the version from
http://www.gatchamangoods.com/GUta.html

 

Clearly there some room for variation in the translating. I imagine that if you're going to sing with the music, then your lyrics have to fit the timing of the song, whereas another translator might go for more literal accuracy even if it doesn't sound as smooth in English.

LB, I know I've seen the first picture around online before. I have a bigger version somewhere. Te second one is an image from one of the pachislo games.

I wondered if that is where I recognized it from. Actually I wondered if both images were from the pachisio game.

In that second image Jinpei really looks like an alien with that "green" face, huge mouth and "blank" eyes. Wink

Whoo hoo, your sister has good taste! Wink Robbie Williams is one of my favorite musical artists... and he's not hard no the eyes either. Plus I crack up whenever I hear him in an interview... Big Grin

Now I imagine everyone will be singing along with the opening titles whenever they watch the show!!

Found the full length version: It's more of a music video than opening titles, but...
