Fiveman, Theme of Love

The ending theme of Chikyuu Sentai Fiveman, which began airing in March 1990, is a love-themed song that reflects the heroic image of the five siblings, who are also school teachers.

The lyrics were written by Masao Urino, the music composed by Yasuo Kosugi, and the arrangement by Kazuya Matsushita, with Kenji Suzuki’s clear, expansive vocals shining through.

It was included on the B-side of a single released by Nippon Columbia in April 1990.

The lyrics, which intertwine the ideas of fighting and loving, portray the gentleness and strength of protecting one’s family and loved ones, and the song is a classic hero anthem woven with brass and strings.

Is it just my imagination?

This is the ending theme from Denji Sentai Megaranger, which aired in 1997, performed by Naoto Fuga.

Its lyrics—about the bond that ensures your friends will always answer when you call them through the Digitizer, and about the warmth felt through the wrist—are written in words that are easy for children to understand.

The string-centered arrangement by Takatora, the joint unit of Masao Deguchi and Koichiro Kameyama, blends beautifully with Fuga’s clear, expansive vocals, gently wrapping up each weekly episode.

Give it a listen when you want to quietly hold on to hope for tomorrow.
