It’s an anime about a cyborg hero.

Back then, it didn’t feel realistic, so I just watched it thinking it was a cool, ordinary anime.

But now that androids and human-shaped AI robots exist in the real world, it’s a bit intriguing to think that combat-capable ones might actually become possible.

Secret Squadron Gorengersasaki isao12rank/position

This is the B-side track of a single released by Nippon Columbia in April 1975, and it served as the ending theme for the memorable first entry in the Super Sentai series.

Its powerful brass, exhilarating rhythm, and the striking “Banbara banbanban” scat leave a lasting impression.

The phrase—Chumei Watanabe’s incorporation of the then-popular scat style—has an irresistible charm that sticks with listeners of all ages after just one hearing.

Sung by Isao Sasaki with a Presley-like sensuality, the piece has a kayō-rock sheen that transcends the bounds of a children’s program, and the call-and-response with the chorus group Korogi ’73 is superb.

It reached No.

4 in the TV Anime/Children’s Songs category on Oricon’s 1976 year-end chart, achieving major commercial success.

Highly recommended for anyone who wants to relive those days when the whole family gathered around the TV, hearts racing at the heroes’ exploits!

Behold!! Gorengersasaki isao13rank/position

This is a single released by Nippon Columbia in October 1976 as the later ending theme for the first installment of the Super Sentai series, Himitsu Sentai Gorenger.

The music and arrangement were by Chumei Watanabe, with lyrics by Shotaro Ishinomori.

Set to heroic brass and a march-like rhythm, Isao Sasaki delivers short, forceful phrases, supported by the rich mixed chorus of The Choruses ’73 (Korogi ’73) and The Will Beez—one of its defining features.

Rather than a conventional sung style, it adopts a declarative, spoken-address approach that boldly proclaims the ideals of the five heroes, making it an experimental work with a unique place in the history of Sentai songs.

It was used as the ending theme from episode 64 to episode 84 of the television series and was also featured in medley form in the 1978 theatrical release J.A.K.Q.

Dengekitai vs.

Gorenger.

It’s a piece that will rekindle passionate memories for adults who watched the show back then, while continuing to inspire children who look up to heroes.

Dream of tomorrowsasaki isao, horie mitsuko14rank/position

Nostalgic Showa-era melodies! This is the ending theme of Science Ninja Team Gatchaman II, the sequel to Science Ninja Team Gatchaman.

Since it even includes dialogue, singing it at karaoke might take you right back to how it felt back then.

By all means, try singing it in character!
