tokusatu themes

[Zone Fighter]

I found these two 3 CD sets at Anime Jungle's web page.

Super Hero Chronicle 1970's Tokusatsu Hero Theme/Insert Song Collection 1

68 full length vocal songs from 20 shows, opening themes, ending themes, other themes

2 songs from Uchu Enjin Gori (Space Simian Gori) - what Spectreman was called before episode 40
2 songs from Supekutoruman (Spectreman)
2 songs from We Love You!! Witch Teacher
4 songs from Mirrorman
6 songs from Kaiketsu Lion Maru
3 songs from Chôjin Baromu 1
2 songs from Redman
2 songs from Henshin Ninja Arashi
3 songs from Triple Fighter
2 songs from Emergency Order 10-4 10-10
14 songs from Jinzo Ningen Kikaida
2 songs from Ike Godman
2 songs from Togeki! Hyuman!! (Charge Human!!)
2 songs from Iron King
4 songs from Faiyâman (Fireman)
2 songs from Majin Hunter Mitsurugi
4 songs from Janbôgu Êsu (Jumborg Ace)
4 songs from Ryuusei Ningen Zôn (Meteor Man Zone)
2 songs from Shiro Shishi Kamen (White Lion Mask)
4 songs from Robotto Keiji (Robot Detective)

The Kikaida songs are in the same order as the Kikaida Song Collection Special CD. Columbia Nippon must have just lifted them right from that CD. No instrumental tracks on this set. Kikaida-01 is in 2nd collection.

Super Hero Chronicle 1970's Tokusatsu Hero Theme/Insert Song Collection 2
65 full length vocal from 17 shows, opening themes, ending themes, other themes

4 songs from Fuun Lion Maru
2 songs from Kikaida-01
6 songs from Super Robot Red Baron
2 songs from Inazuman
2 songs from Tetsujin Taiga Sebun (Iron Man Tiger 7)
3 songs from Ike Green Man (Go Green Man)
2 songs from Denjin Zaboga
12 songs from Inazuman Flash
2 songs from Saru No Gundan (Army of the Apes)
2 songs from Super Robot Mach Baron
2 songs from Ike Ushiwaka, Kotarou (Go! Ushikawa, Kotarou)
2 songs from Rockbat
2 songs from Condorman - Seigi No Shinboru (Condorman - Symbol Of Justice)
4 songs from Shounen Tantei Dan (Boys Detective Group)
7 songs from Akumaizer 3
7 songs from Uchu Tetsujin Kyodain [Space Ironmen Kyodain]
4 songs from Kagestar (Shadow Star)

My guess is the series that already had their own CDs got the larger segments because Columbia already had the songs.


Collection 3 is supposed to be out at the end of September. I hope it will have Spider-Man, Kaiketsu Zubat (including Miyauchi, Hiroshi as Hayakawa, Ken on that sad song), Ninja Capter, Chôjin Bibyun and Megaloman.

This particular series cover shows that are not Ultraman, Kamen Rider, Sentai or Metel Heroes so I wonder what they'll do about '80s, '90s, '00s themes. There were not many shows not in those catagories post '70s.

I found out from Justin at Anime Jungle that the third collection will include Kaiketsu Zubat and Toei's Spiderman.

that's an astounding amount of songs! did you get these CDs?

[Zone Fighter]

Yes. Seems I forgot to post about the third set.

Super Hero Chronicle 70's & 80's Tokusatsu Hero Theme/Insert Song Collection 3
65 full length vocal songs from 19 shows

6 from Ninja Kyaputer
2 from Chôjin Bibyun
2 from Kyoryu Tankentai Born Free
6 from Senso - Bankid
2 from Pro Wrestler Star Aztecizer
2 from Battle Hawk
3 from Kaiketsu Zubat
2 Kyoru Senso - Aizenborg
10 from Datetsujin 17
2 from Star Wolf
3 from UFO Senso - Takakae! Red Tiger
2 from Spider-Man
2 from Kyoryru Sentai Koseidon
2 from Uchu kara no Message: Ginga Taisen
2 from Chisai Superman Ganbaron
2 from Megaloman
2 from Bokura Yakyu Tantei Dan
9 from Seijin Kamen Machineman
4 from Kyodai Ken Byclosser

The only thing wrong with these is that the second set has some songs that are actually about characters from Inazuman with the Inazuman Flahs songs on disk 2 instead of with Inazuman OP and ED on disk 1.

As I mentioned before, for the Ultras, Kamen Riders, Sentai and Metal Heroes themes in other collections.

They're good collections but they're not complete. They skipped over Rainbowman and Diamond Eye for example. Which is odd. Other Toho series are there but not those two. I have Rainbowman and Diamod Eye on other CDs .

The only problem is listening to themes from shows I've never seen makes me want to find those shows.

that does happen, doesn't it? i'd really like to see some Battle Hawk episodes, and more Koseidon as well.

i wish i had had the money for these discs when they were available. i also really want the JAKQ set now. that's some great music.
