Astro Boy Theme in Different Languages

Postby Yushee » 9 years ago

Did anyone notice that Astro Boy and Jetter Mars have a ton of themes in different languages (And some sound pretty cool)?

I find it cool that there are so many different versions, because some sound more cool then others and some are entirely different songs. XD

One thing I noticed is that Astro Boy's Chinese opening sounds extremely cheerful/happy-sounding: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frrQWti9K7Q

As originally written the Astro Boy theme is actually a march.
Can you imagine Trumpets, French Horns, Clarinets, Trombones, and Sousaphones?

It is happy and cheerful, and rather pretty sound to the song. I still prefer the Japanese volsion. I always thought the Chinese would have simpler language to the Japanese, I guess it's the symbol I was mistaken. But they would still understand each other...right.

It's always interesting to hear the openings of your favorite series in different languages. Coming from the Dragon Ball fandom, there's a ton of openings in different languages that you can watch online. In fact, there's a YouTube video compilation of openings in different languages for that series. It's pretty cool.

Regarding Astro Boy, that Chinese opening is not bad. I haven't really heard the openings beyond the Japanese and English versions, but that one is pretty good.

The only other one I can find at the moment is the German opening for the 1980s series, which is okay, but not too spectacular in my opinion:

Haha I actually kinda like the German one; it was a lot different than what I expected. It's pretty cute.
