It was early 1980 when we moved to the USA. Stuck in the Navy Lodge with nothing to do on military base, we turned to the TV.. And there it was! "In your face" title song and the best anime there is, period. It was years later that I found the original lyrics and the -uncut- japanese original, and the marvelous voice behind the song. Be Forever, Yamato! Be Forever, Isao Sasaki! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDcn1l-nMGI&t=2s We're off to outer space We're leaving mother Earth To save the human race Our Star Blazers Searching for a distant star Heading off to Iscandar Leaving all we love behind Who knows what dangers we'll find We must be strong and brave Our home we have to save If we don't in just one year Mother Earth will disappear Fighting with the Gamalons We won't stop until we've won Then we'll return and when we arrive The Earth will survive with our Star Blazers
