What's New
The message we repeat most often on this site is that Space Battleship Yamato changed everything. The world of anime is what it is today because of Yamato. And the biggest thing Yamato changed was the concept of anime soundtrack music. Yamato music is your constant companion from the first time you hear it, and in this update we’re going to get much better acquainted with this companion.
From the albums to the concerts to the songs to the people behind them, the story of this amazing body of work is told here in unprecedented detail for the first time in English. Start here with a historical overview and find links to discographies, interviews, liner notes, lyrics, tributes, and much more. Whether you’re a diehard fan who’s been listening for years or one who just fondly remembers the theme to Star Blazers, there’s something here for you.
Meanwhile, the new installment of The Star Blazers Chronicles takes us around the world—to Italy!
