I like the Thunderbirds one best because it’s triumphant and doesn’t ruin it too much. Joe 90 comes in second for uniqueness. The U.F.O. one doesn’t count, but is still good narration. Also, at 4:49, it sounds like they are saying “UK”.
日本のアンダーソンのファンです。素晴らしい企画によるコンテンツをありがとうございます。とても面白く楽しめました。 （ただちょっと気になるところがあります。ＵＦＯのスカイ１のシーンで、日本語で「海上を超スピードで進み…」と言っているところの訳が"it will travel at the speed of light"とあるのは誤解を与えると思うのですが) 「キャプテンスカーレットの日本版オープニングはダサい」とお嘆きの方々がたくさんいらっしゃるようですが、安心して下さい。日本人の私でも違和感バリバリですから。（まあ、その落差を感じるのもオツだと思うのですが）さらにもっとすごいコンテンツが我国にはあります。それは「謎の円盤ＵＦＯ」の歌！。TH-camで見られますのでどうぞご覧下さい。
Japan took one look at these and said "You know what these need? Giant monsters. I don't care if an alien or guys in bright spandex have to fight them, but they need giant monsters."
I first saw Thunderbirds in Japan. My Father was stationed over there. Since a puppet show with space ships was not the weirdest thing I saw on Japanese TV, I just assumed that it was a Japanese show. This was the early 1970 and there was no internet. I did not find out that Thunderbird was a English show till the early 1980's when I saw the TV movies.
Thank you Grant, much appreciated! I haven't been really paying close attention with the numbers, or update this channel that often. But I'm sure you'll get a notification of when I upload any more clips in the future :-)
The Japanese's theme to Captain Scarlet is weird. How is Cloudbase a spacestation? Where is there a episode featuring a robot with a ray gun? And why on Earth are children singing this happy, cheesy tune to this very dark series? PS: That real life Spectrum Salon car at the begining was awesome.
Cloudbase is in the sky, which is close enough to space. The children are singing a this happy tune because this is still a show about a hero who's here to save us, and they're cheering him on. This being a "very dark series" is irrelevant. And the theme isn't "weird" or "cheesy." It's determined and heroic, like many Japanese TV opening themes from this time period.
I think all the classic shows was aired in Japan back in the days of classic Anime, Kamen rider and Super sentai shows. Then they got an ideal to make the 1st puppet tv series from what else but X-bomber aka Star felt
The Mysteron monologue sounds so much creepier! Hilarious that it would have followed such an upbeat kiddie song, though. Interesting that of all of songs (we won't count UFO which was just narration setting the scene) only the one for Thunderbirds actually uses real music from the show, Barry Gray's Century 21 March. Wasn't there also a song for Space: 1999?
Space 1999 also has Japanese original song. You can find it in TH-cam. Needless to say original one is 10 times better than that though the singer of the Japanese song is well known person.
It's not that "hilarious," considering that this is still a show about a hero, so the song is cheering him on, and that most Japanese TV openings from this time period were like this.
This song for Captain Scarlett doesn't matches at all. Considering how this series was the darkest of all Gerry Anderson productions from the "Supermarionation" era. This happy sounding song fits more for a funny anime or something.
It does match. Captain Scarlet is a show about a hero, so it makes sense for the theme to be heroic. The series being "the darkest of all Gerry Anderson productions from the 'Supermarionation' era" is irrelevant. Most Japanese superhero shows from this time period had themes like this, even when dealing with dark subject matter. Saying that "This happy sounding song fits more for a funny anime or something" shows how little you know about Japanese television.
I love the way you've subtitled it you've really gone to town with the animations especially the spins and the go go go go that really made me laugh. I mean that in a good way becouse it suits the songs. Why the hell did they put lyrics on the theme tunes in the first place?
1960's In UK, 007 movies siries, SUPERMARIONATION siries, and The Beatles. In Japan, Monsters & Heroes movies(Godzilla, Ultraman, and more...), Animations(Astro Boy(Tetsuwan Atom), Speed Racer(Mach GoGoGo) and more...) , and Sukiyaki song(Ue wo muite arukou.).
Love a lot of Japanese anime music but damn I'm glad I grew up in Britain and got the Barry Grey stuff! Big Rato! Didn't know that I new how to speak some Japanese! LOL
I can't understand why the Japanese networks created their own titles for the series, particularly Captain Scarlet. Having a song that is upbeat in tone completely changed the mood that Gerry Anderson intended to create, indeed he cringed when he saw the Japanese version of the captain scarlet opening titles...
Interesting. Only the Thunderbird theme (Second movement) remained unscathed but the others.........DEAR GOD!!!!! Now I know how the Japanese must have felt when Saban, FUNamations and 4Kids literally DESTORYS the themes is such classic Anime like Samurai Pizza Cats,Maple Town,One Piece and Dragon Ball .
Unless you've actually talked to Japanese people who feel that way about American anime themes, no, you don't know. Saban, FUNimation, and 4Kids didn't "literally DESTROY the themes." They just wrote different music for a different audience, while the original themes are still intact. Same goes for the Anderson themes: The originals remain unscathed, and the songs the Japanese came up with are catchy and heroic, fit their respective shows well enough, and go along nicely with other Japanese TV opening themes of the time period. Your "DEAR GOD!!!!!" is in vain.
Not ALL of them - but maybe only these ones aired in Japan - I remember Super Car and Fireball XL5 before Stingray, Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet - and then I think came Secret Service and THEN Joe 90. There was also Four Feathers which came before any of the others, but I never saw that one.
The Adventures of Twizzle, Torchy the Battery Boy, Four Feather Falls, Supercar, Fireball XL5, Stingray, Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet, Joe 90, The Secret Service, UFO, The Protectors, Space: 1999, Terrahawks and Space Precient. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerry_Anderson
Just wondering what was the font used in the JOE 90 subtitles? I remember seeing that typeface on the credits for Pinocchio (the Disney film), but can't think of what it is called.
The only themes that remain intact are Thunderbirds and UFO! (“Joe 90” does sound close to the Original theme tune! But what the hell Was wrong with The Original “Captain Scarlet and The Mysterons” Opening? Guns were allowed on Children’s Programmes in Japan in 1967!!! I’m Glad they didn’t touch “Gerry Anderson’s New Captain Scarlet”!)
Although I perfectly understand the need to translate\ change lyrics, I don't understand why the brand would need to be diluted by changing the music (score)?
+CPU UK The Japanese seem to be big on theme songs with vocals. On the other hand they weren't the only ones to change theme songs on Anderson productions. Some episodes of the German dub of Space: 1999, Mondbasis Alpha I, used Jean Michel Jarre's "Oxygene II" as the theme instead of Barry Gray and Derek Wadsworth's themes.
@@TV21 I know this youtuber called iBXTpycay who uses filters for this without needing to age restrict. I don’t think it’s best to resort or age restricting
OK, "UFO" wasn't a Supermarionation series, so since you included it why not include "Terrahawks," "Space: 1999" or "Space Precinct" in your compilation?
OK thanks But what about Gerry Anderson's FireBall X L - 5 ??? Super Car ???? Those must have been aired in Japan too right ???? The Super Mario nation Dose NOT use Puppets They are by definition Marionettes The mouths of the characters are triggered by tiny electric servos that the Anderson Studios design themselves
This Japanese kids ballad for STINGRAY is a charming, cute theme. I suppose the shame of it is that the original STINGRAY theme by Barry Gray is one of the best things he ever did, and in fact it is one of the coolest TV themes of the 1960s. Why take that away from little kids in Japan? I think it was a stupid thing to do.
Wait, what...? These already had terrific instrumental themes, why did they put bloody sailor moon type songs over the top of them! Must be something in their diet...After listening to this crap I certainly feel the wind swelling behind me...although I suspect it's not just wind.
Gotta say that thunderbirds japanese opening is still kinda faithful to the original theme
日本人です。ありがとうございます。懐かしい子供の頃見ました。
Quelle chance vous avez! En France, il a fallu attendre 76 pour découvrir Thunderbirds. Et encore! juste quelques épisodes en mauvaises copies!!!
「飛び交うミサイル／吹っ飛ぶ銀行」
なんて素晴らしい歌詞なんだ！
I like the Thunderbirds one best because it’s triumphant and doesn’t ruin it too much.
Joe 90 comes in second for uniqueness. The U.F.O. one doesn’t count, but is still good narration.
Also, at 4:49, it sounds like they are saying “UK”.
The Joe 90 theme at 4:06 is probably the best one. Its very catchy

I can't get over how happy the Scarlet song is.
Then you can't get over how a heroic theme is used for a heroic character?
子供のころはウルトラマンが好きだったけど、それよりもキャプテンスカーレットが大好きだ！
やはりイギリスの特撮技術は素晴らしい！
about time we see how other country saw the shows . Great to see fresh edits and takes on the all too familiar
The Japanese Captain Scarlet is so weird. It takes a creepy, dark show and turns it into some Astro Boy like thing. I like it.
@TB1fan I love these versions, having subbed them for the past week, the songs have really grown on me lol.
スティングレイの日本語バージョン、懐かしいなぁ。
Japan took one look at these and said "You know what these need? Giant monsters. I don't care if an alien or guys in bright spandex have to fight them, but they need giant monsters."
Ever Heard of X Bomber?

これと同じレベルのものを今つくることは不可能だろうな。CGじゃないすごさがある。
This is what the internet is for. I always wondered what the theme tunes sounded like in Japanese when I was five
RIP Gerry
AWESOME! i LOVE THESE TITLES
AWESOME! I love these Japanese title sequences! But I love the English ones even more.
Thank you and good job from Yokohama Japan!

Thunderbirds base on gatchaman 1-3 and thunderbirds 2084
Captain scarlet base on gatchaman crowds
Captain Scarlet had the best vehicles. Good trailer, but the captions were a bit redundant.
1980年に放送された｢Ｘボンバー｣もスーパーマリオネーションに扱われるのかな？
あれは日本で制作した特撮作品だから別物
確か、Continentalエンジェルとかゆうお姉さんが乗ってる飛行機がカッコ良かったなー（笑）突撃戦闘車は後ろ向きに乗って運転していた記憶ー（笑）幼稚園児頃だったかなー(^_^;)
Go go go Joe Juju Biga ratu sounds a lot better than the theme we had.

"Thunderbirds! fly! into the big bright blue sky" es parafraseado por un personaje del manga "Mahou Tsukai No Yome" en el capitulo 2 ;D
Actually what I meant was the font for "Captain Scarlet" in red at 3:02.

UFO was also decent
Unless you've actually talked to Japanese people who feel that way about American anime themes, no, you don't know. Saban, FUNimation, and 4Kids didn't "literally DESTROY the themes." They just wrote different music for a different audience, while the original themes are still intact.

アンダーソン作品も低予算で制作している部分もある
Somehow the changes within the opening for Joe90 doesn't do it for me!
I don't know about you, but the Captain Scarlet theme sounds more like a rip-off of the "Astro Boy" theme.

American Stingray theme was still better. They should have just kept that and translated 'Stingray'. It was more action-sounding.
Joe 90 actually has a better theme then the original version! :D
ロンドン指令Xはあまりみてないな❤
And gerry anderson will be mad
Why? His biggest legacy probably lives in Japan through Japanese scifi. They were about the only ones who truly appreciated his work.
Actually he was mad about Captain Scarlet one.

Beyond bad, beyond belief. Atrocious.
