JAM Project was founded by Ichiro Mizuki, the grandfather of mecha anime music, who unfortunately passed away last December after a battle with lung cancer. RIP Aniki.
There is actually an ingame instrumental version titled "SKILL ver Alpha 2" which is cute to hear it in the game's soundfont.
When you know what's playing in that final stage it's ALL the stronger! Shame that Trombe' and Blue Danube always override it.

I don't consider that a shame though 😏
For us Jam Project fans, Skill is not just a song. Its an Anthem.
MOTTO MOTTO=More and More.
Its a song of hope, of struggle , of fighting the impossible and breaking through the darkness. Ya know, typical J-rock lyrics but their harmony, the hype they bring, all of it just makes it all so amazing to listen to and honestly this song brought me to tears a number of times.
I can officially say Jam Project is my favorite band of all time and they do pretty much all the themes for the Super Robot Wars games.
But this song? This is THEIR theme. You'll almost always hear this somewhere if not at the end of a concert they performed at.
I too feel old when I remember the 2010's were like 10 years ago.
Jam Project is a super group composed of a bunch of famous solo artists in Japan. They're especially famous among the anime and gaming crowds over there and even overseas. Skill is considered to be their magnum opus and that one song they perform at every single one of their live concerts. It was definitely made with crowds in mind, so cool that you caught onto that on the first listen! This version is more or less the same as the original version, but the guitar solo was added in to this one. Otherwise they're pretty much indistinguishable from one another.
As far as Super Robot Wars taking itself too seriously, I'd go as far to say that it takes itself about as seriously as Yakuza does. When it gets to the serious stuff it takes itself super seriously. But other times? It's wacky, zany and super tongue in cheek. Definitely not afraid to poke fun at itself either. And we all love them for that.
I CAN FLY!! YOU CAN FLY!!! WE CAN FLY!!!!
MOTTO MOTTO!!!!!
MOTTO MOTTO!
MOTTO MOTTO!
MOTTO MOTTO!!!
MOTTO MOTTO!!!
JAM Project is a big name when it comes to theme songs of games or anime involving mechs and/or battles.
Their song mostly has nekketsu(hot blood) vibe, which fits the energetic and heroic tone of the games and animes.
Besides, you won't understand what they're saying, but the lyrics is completely anime cheese all over the place, in a good way.
Not only that but each member has their own solo careers as well.
Hironobu Kageyama is best known for singing everything in DBZ (including Head-Cha-La, We Gotta Power, Gohan's SSJ2 awakening theme, and much more), Hiroshi Kitadani sang One Piece's "We Are" (its first opening), Masaaki Endoh is probably best known for GaoGaiGar's openings + his Enson covers of many shows (even did Mighty Morphin Power Rangers' theme), Yoshiki Fukuyama was the singing voice of Basara in Macross 7, and Masami Ouki has sung a number of openings for different anime as well.
Then of course the founders alongside Kageyama and Endoh were Eizo Sakamoto (singer for metal band Anthem and anime covers under the group Animetal), Rica Matsumoto (voice of Ash Ketchum in Pokemon among other voicework), and the legendary Ichirou Mizuki ("The Emperor of Anime Songs", also nicknamed Aniki ["Big Brother"] of the genre who sung many OG mecha/anime themes like Mazinger Z's) who sadly passed away last December from lung cancer. Was extra sad with Mizuki beause he also suffered from vocal chord paralysis during 2022 as well, but despite that he kept singing as long as he could and attended Super Robot Wars's 30th anniversary concert.
The original song is actually from 2003, when Super Robot Wars Alpha 2 was released for the PlayStation 2. It was the third game from the series I played and when the instrumental version of this played at the final stage, it was special.
They even brought it back to the next game, Super Robot Wars Alpha 3, as a neat tribute to a pretty important moment from Alpha 2.
The thing I love about JAM Project is that the singers are all incredible superstars on their own (Kageyama being one of the founders alongside the late/great Ichiro Mizuki, both absolute legendary singers), but when they all come together to sing as a unit their voices harmonize so freaking well with so many different and amazing combinations.
JAM project is a group formed in 2000 , the current members are individually a legend in Japan's entertainment music world, most of them are in their mid-late 50s and has been performing since the 80s.
For example their leader Kageyama Hironobu is famous for singing theme song for Dragon ball and Saint Seiya, the only female member is also famous for her song in the anime Utena and many others.
Basically, each of the member can fill a stadium if they're going on a solo concert.
I never thought I would see the day.
I don't know what his reaction will be like, but my God I love jam project so much. The songs always lifts my spirits and make me feel like I can get through the day no matter how bad it gets.
From hype to emotional break down to feeling like I wanna save the freaking planet.... Jam Project does it all. I hope he likes them.
If you need to know, JAM Project even have a handful of Transformers songs in their repertoire.
Jam project and the Super Robot Wars series was like the Avengers to me when I was a wee babey. Some grew up with Superman or Batman I grew up with Getter, Mazinger and Gaogaigar. The SRW series and JAM project was a mashup and collab of some the most legendary mechs and series along with the most epic music to have you tear up at having Gundam RX and Shin getter team up. Jam Project makes some of the best celebrations of mecha and reminds us a time past of steel giant heroes to swell the heart and remember that giant robots are rad as hell.
This is the song they generally end their encores with. They used to reeeaaallly stretch out the MOTTO MOTTO bit toward the end with call-and-response bits, maybe a skit or some other onstage shenanigans.
Each member is an icon in their own right, especially Kageyama Hironobu.
Every mecha fan always salute whenever JAM project sings!
I love JAM project. One of the many things that's great about Japan. They love songs and Jamming and collaborating.
JAM Project literally is short for "Japan Anime Music Project".
If you want to see the Japanese culture and perception on their childhood past time (anime, toys, games, etc), go look at the official TH-cam channel "AnimeloSummerLive" and take a look at the digest. Every year they invite 60+ anime / game song artist for a 2 days concerts, singing their own or cover each other's songs form the most recent series all the way to the nostalgia of the 80's. The crowd there are mostly in their 20s to 40s shouting and chanting to the performance all day long (and I do mean all day, the concert recordings are 6 to 8 hours long each day)
The Live version does deviate from what you'd get on an album a bit, but it's all incredibly good. And if you enjoy this, you'd probably like a lot of JAM Project's other output, like GONG or THE EXCEEDER.
Let's also never forget The Hero.
Always Crest of Z's baybay
Jam Project rarely misses, I'd say this is one of their biggest bangers they've ever done. This, GONG, and other SRW ones were in my playlists at all times because they're just so ENERGIZING!
The best part of these videos is seeing the absolute joy on Jesse's face whenever something like these songs come on.
"Motto motto" basically means "More and more"
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
JAM Project is a Super Group of artists that sang Japan's Childhood. Anime, Games, and regular music. From Dragon Ball, to Sailor Moon to Gundam, one of them sang in it. Anything else I can say about it is just gushing about it, just saying that they're an institution and a part of living history of Japan.
Fr fr no cap.
JAM Project is just such feel good music
First time ever hearing this and I'm hooked
Oh believe me it's a deep rabbit hole man...
@@Lakhshamana True. I'd say I barely got into SRW and mecha in general. So much to discover!
Oh yes, you now heard Skill. Hopefully its sister song is also on your request list.
Jesse my dude!!! If you do more future Super Robot Wars songs, make sure you watch the vids with actual gameplay representing the character of the song. You will get better context for not only the song but EXACTLY how BADASS the Super Robot is as well!!! I wish you did your first vid, Dark Prison, with the Super Robot called, GRANZON, doing ALL it's BADASS ATTACKS!!!! GRANZON is one of the most popular Super Robot in the series!!! Love seeing your first time reactions my dude!!! KEEP IT UP GUY and continue to ROCK ON!!!🤘🤘🤘😁
Hmm, I've been quickly moving through these SRW reactions of yours and it seems no one ever explains what the "JAM" in JAM Project. JAM stands for Japanese Anisong (animation song) Makers because the members are all folks who have been singing the openings and endings of anime since at least the 70s.
I'd suggest looking at the lyrics for this song. The lyrics, in relation to the context of the game it is used in, is where the beauty of this song is.
I want to recommend Hagane No Messiah so hard now
Live version of Crest of Z's would be so cool. Well to be honest any live performance from any year of Animelo Summer Live from these guys is worth watching. The first time I watched similar stuff I too was surprised how into it people are over there. Like the Animelo Summer Live I just mentioned has sometimes like 80000 people going crazy over anime and videogame music.
Also Super Robot Wars has so, so, so much more amazing tracks that you haven't listened to yet, so hopefully your Patrons will recommend them eventually
I think sometimes, because much of what is popular from Japan that is popular in the west is the geeky/nerdy stuff, that maybe we get a bit of a misleading view about Japan... A lot of what is seen as geeky or childish here may also be seen as somewhat fringe there too... Arguably though, maybe you're right in saying that some of what we associate more with children in the west, like animation, toys/models and such, possibly have a larger range of sophistication and are sometimes aimed at a wider variety of ages there (I mean, one product is likely aimed at a narrow age range, but there might be more age ranges that get targeted... Like teens tend not to get catered to in terms of animation as much in the west, but it's a bigger market in Japan)... But yeah, while some of their oddities may seem more extreme, it's probably worth considering that just because we see it here, doesn't mean it's popular there... Some stuff that got popular here, many Japanese people may not even have heard of.
But yeah, Super Robot Wars probably hits a bunch of niche fandoms, so there's probably a good chance that fans will be pretty passionate... And if you're into those niches, you're also likely to encounter Jam Project or their members somewhere lol. I think most of the singers were involved in at least a few mecha or fighting anime soundtracks before joining the group, then Jam Project itself has been involved in many... I think one of the founding members might have been doing theme songs since the 70s, maybe even the late 1960s... The roster has changed a bit over the years... Oddly, they have one part-time member from Brazil lol. Don't think I saw him here, but yeah... Lots of cool, anthemic music from this group.
You should totally check out some live version of "Seventh Explosion", by JAM Project. It just rocks.
Their music for GARO is so gooood
There's other JAM Project and SRW songs that are better but... This song just hits my Mecha damashii the hardest. Tears of joy every time
It warms my heart every time I hear it!
My favorite JAM song is still Crest of Z's
some of my faovrite things by jam project are the openings for the anime adaptations of SRW OG saga. specially maxon goes hard. And they did the opening for one punch man
The Anthem of The United Earth Defence Agency
I love Jam Project
JAM Project is always a big deal, dude.
Can you react to super robot wars ost the excedeer?
かっこいいwww
ニルファやってる奴なら、当然知ってるスパロボαシリーズの名曲やんけw
