True story - some years ago I was on a flight to Tokyo from Heathrow and sat in business surrounded by very serious looking japanese businessmen - as soon as the In Flight Entertainment, half of them started scrolling through the selection to find Yamato and watch the series

True Yamato fans....where you at tho?

My brother and me played this on Violin (and he Violin and Cello) at our sister's wedding as our very own present :)
She was the only person to sing along this and she cried 🥲I think this was an absloute win 🥰

step one: get yamato on world of warships
step two: spec for secondaries
step three: roll deep blasting this and getting 5 kills
step four:  victory :)

このヴァイオリンver. 神秘的で美しく、力強さや優しさ（甘さ？）も感じるから好き。

Y'all mind if I....
goes into a roll with cannons traversed in every direction firing at fucking everything straight through the Gamilan fleet

2020 still rockin' that wave motion gun!

The Second National Anthem of Japan

Best anime saga of its genre, best in this millenium. I've seen all episodes uncut when I resided in Europe. There will be never an anime that can rival it or even hold a candle to it. It is a true gem. Getting tears now and must go! Yamato/Argo Hasshin, forever in our hearts!!

I like the pace of this version, compared to the later, faster version. It's easy to forget that layering tracks creates complexity, and that creating tracks full of content, prevents aspects from standing out. The violin clearly stands out with the main theme, while the brass is allowed to fill and swell at key moments at a pace that lets the listener appreciate what it's building up to.

バイオリンの音色でオブラートに包まれてるけど
この曲のコアな、熱意や信念や大切な人を守りたいって信念は
ヒシヒシと伝わって来ます
ありがとう

宇宙戦艦ヤマトの現在の歌も最高だSF的に作られていて見ても見ても最高だ

私は銀河方面第707航空団所属、メルダ・ディッツ...

この曲がたくさんの海外の人にも聞かれていることに驚きました
やはり本物の名曲はジャンルや世代どころか海すらも超えてしまうのですね

Cant believe Hiroshi Miyagawa's son (Akira) got to work on the remakes.

I love that they kept the theme from the original but just updated.

It just works. The fanfare intro, the choir singing, the shanty-like verses, a freaking battleship! To me, this theme is my all time favorite anime theme.

2020 - looks up - ALL HANDS PREPARE FOR COMBAT !!

I just put this video in loop mode so that I can listen this song for a few hours straight without interruptions. I'm in music heaven! Even if I'm not Japanese, I try to do my best singing it. One day my son overheard me singing it loud like Isao Sasaki and thought that I was crazy, but a good crazy! He never heard me singing in Japanese and I told him son, if you only knew what this music and anime is all about. He found out and replied, dad I have no words and got emotional.

あれが戦艦大和だ…日本の漢の艦だ。
