Wow some mystery person started a YouTube channel called Neglected Anison and of all things to upload they put up the entire GoShogun: The Time Étranger OST. Thanks whoever you are mystery person!!
That second track is quite a surprise -- also gotta say that "Flash Lady" sounds a lot like something that will attract future funk remix artists. (^_^)
The ANN entry for Tachio Akano implies that he came out of retirement to do the 3rd ending to Heaven's Lost Property Forte, although I kinda wonder if this is a case of having two people with the same name, as a 23 year gap for a guy who was working in the 70s for a show that isn't a cover of an old property is a little unusual. (^_^;)
mbanu: What's between Old School and New School?
runesaint: Hmmm. "Middle School", perhaps?
Image songs can be downright strange. One of my favs is a song about Dr. Hell from Mazinger Z. It's sung in a way that makes it seem as if Dr. Hell himself is doing the vocals. Maybe it IS, the actual seiyuu that is. I just don't know. All I know is I wish like heck I could animate because there sure needs to be a music video of this.
Then there's the cases where it seem Toei liked to re-use the score for image songs but right now I can't think of the specific case, pretty sure it was some Great Mazinger image song that got ported with different lyrics into Grandizer but I just can't recall. argh.
