AKIRA (1988) OST - Theme (Kaneda)

Original soundtrack was recorded by Geinō Yamashirogumi
Disco - • Geinoh Yamashirogumi -...
Requiem (outro) - • Geinoh Yamashirogumi -...

[@Lorath333]

Unofficial theme of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.

[@aldur2010]

Can you imagine playing this when all the athletes are entering to the field ??? SUGOI !!!! O_O' Or at least for the Olympic flame ...

[@gishathosaurus6828]

That would be fucking epic... but unfortunetly we're gonna get Mario theme probably -.-

[@deltaweathers]

Well...

[@Lorath333]

​@@deltaweathers I would never have thought that an Akira incident in real life would be the lesser of our problems in 2020...

[@湯呑みくん]

It was really supposed to be the official theme But DENTSU's push has turned it into something completely different Don't forgive DENTSU.

[@MRSLAV]

Try to listen to this while standing in bussy street or metro station or anywhere where alot of movement of society is going on, especially with cars involved for better rythm that matches song.

[@jorgeherrerad5482]

Riding a sportbike

[@mclovin617]

hehe bussy

[@jxtapose]

[@heron2]

That sounds frightening!

[@twitchykun]

Y'know, Tokyo's hosting the olympics in 2020. edit: this aged horribly

[@silveryote1]

its gonna be one hell of an opening ceremony

+Saiyan Warrior but hey if it does, we will all have a big bang

[@Arcadeus-00]

They should play this after the year 2019 then for their opening.

[@thebigmoosy9706]

Its all going to be recorded in 8K, right?

[@BevvyIsTheBest]

That's it, I'm watching this movie again.

[@Khorosho849]

+BevvyIsTheBest for the seventh time

[@Freelism]

My own good taste sent me here.

[@Freelism]

***** way to miss the point.

[@msd2271]

i read the entire manga once, i saw the movie at least 10 times. Now all i need is the freaking collectibles to this movie and i can be considered a die hard fan because THIS IS MY FAVORITE MOVIE.

[@Dravianpn02]

I have the collectibles. Not the boxed set of kaneda and his bike but all the figures and even a replica jacket of kaneda. Join the club dude. It's fun as fuck over here

[@oitzblack]

All you need is the electric motor vehicle as well 😀

[@NicolasSilvaVasault]

ive rewatched this film many times, since i was a kid and now adult, my favorite movie of all times

[@yaboimysticmakashi]

my favorite part about Toonami on Adult Swim is that every December they show movies and Akira happens to be one of my favorite movies so I literally wait an entire year just to watch Akira the wait is worth it

[@NicolasSilvaVasault]

***** the first time i saw this movie, i was shocked, i couldn't even get the plot, yet it was a very satisfying sensation, now as an adult, this is still my favorite movie, the story is so cool, and the soundtrack made it even more, the characters are amazing, the design of drawing of all the movie is superb, still to these days, an unbeatable movie

[@Johnlindsey289]

+Nicolas Silva I saw it nearly 20 years ago when i was 14 on video after hearing good things of it in magazines, movie books, movie review books and the internet as i rented it and dug it. I even had the Criterion laserdisc, VHS, t-shirts, cap, graphic novels (which i still own), poster and all that as it became one of my favorite movies.

[@bananian]

+Nicolas Silva The pacing is freaking slooow though. I have a tough time watching the movie the whole way through. What is it, 3 hours long?

[@Johnlindsey289]

bananian Do you think Ninja Scroll is better? And on 3 hour films, is Scarface no different?

[@leppaberry]

Really fits with the whole "Concrete Jungle" setting of the story.

[@jamesgalloway2926]

For many people, this film (and manga) is basically ground zero, where the love affair with Japan began. It certainly was for me. The music, the bikes, the what-the-fuck-is-going-on atmosphere, the megacity about to e-x-p-l-o-d-e... For that reason, it will always be special. That, and also because it's fucking awesome.

[@nicomedesthemistocles1769]

+James Galloway this is where my love affair with Japan began and ended, most of their other anime pales in comparison to this.

[@TotesMagee]

+Nicomedes Themistocles HAHAHAHAHA!!

[@DonHibbardo]

Have you ever watched Eureka Seven? It's a pretty deep anime with an amazing soundtrack.

[@nicomedesthemistocles1769]

DonHibbardo i haven't, but i'll check it out, thanx.

[@DonHibbardo]

np, it's definitely worth checking out. It's one of my favorites, hope you like it.

[@KetteDerWelten]

You must check Geinoh Yamashirogumi - Gaia album (1990). Track "Disco" blow up my mind!!! I now very surprised that anime AKIRA don't have this track! Anyway, album is absolutely brilliant!!!

[@lingling820]

+KetteDerWelten Well when Disco was made in 1990, I guess it's because of the time where it was released.(Akira, 1988)

[@nicocontreras5366]

+KetteDerWelten Thank´s, I´ll check it

[@aldomeylano9278]

Nice music!

[@zgrillo2004]

[@rednosec]

+KetteDerWelten Also check out the track 'Reincarnation' from 'Ecophony Rinne' (1986).

[@RemixEdits0]

Akira, best movie ever, with respect to studio ghibli who are just so imaginative that even walt disney would even cry.

[@RemixEdits0]

kissanime.com if your fan of anime, or cartoons this is best place to go, and yeah thwy have akira too, and the voice is the original, compared to the new early 90's and 2000 dub, and they have dubs too, not like crappy crunchy roll :( And it plays on consoles too, you need use html rather than flash, as flash not supported on consoles, because microsoft and sony like to own things.

[@Pacmilio]

Akira wasn't created by Studio Ghibli, even so, Akira is a fuckin masterpiece and Studio Ghibli will be remembered as, maybe, the best and most deep animation studio ever

[@JoaqMan]

Disney animators admitted they were jealous of Akira

[@BlurredVision18]

+Mal Anderson You know all the new anime that get uploaded onto to Kiss comes directly from Crunchyroll, but it's at a lower visual quality then CR. smh

[@sunhee8619]

이 노래 들으면 기분이 엄청좋아짐.. 어렸을때는 메조포르테나 아키라에 나오는것처럼 미래는 다양하고 내가 몰랐던 세계같은 환상이 있었는데 지금 자라고보니 미래란건 그냥 내가 지금까지 계속 있던 평범한 세계란걸 깨닫게해줌 ㅠㅠ 뭔가 꿈 짓밟힌 되게 비참한 기분.. 뭐 아키라 속 세계라면 자라기 훨씬 힘든 세계겠지만.. 이 노래들으면 어렸을때 꿈상상하면서 기분좋아했던 내가 생각나서 너무 슬프고 뭔가 이상한 감정이 있음.. 지금처럼 CG많이쓰지 않는 옛날 애니 볼때만 느끼는 느낌.. 아키라에서도 이부분만 자주 돌려봄. 이 노래 나오면서 화려한 네온사인.. 도로.. 차 지나가는장면이 카네다들과 같이 흘러가는 부분이 너무 인상깊음. 최고로 좋아하는장면..ㅠ

[@TheLionkidd]

This song gives me life again.

[@ondeckstv5593]

+Cheyenne Hayden Indeed.Keep in mind that AKIRA somehow is real story :)

[@eggmancorp]

I WISH I could show you guys my foreams. Goosebumps all the way through. Akira was such a big deal for us when I was a kid. This year makes Akira 28 years old and it STILL competes with today's animation movies. Just like the Mona Lisa and the Sistine Chapel, Akira will always be top tier.

[@Gaaraape]

This Theme always give me goosebumps

[@BestMeatBag]

[@nameless-user]

Unless Christopher Nolan directs. Then it might be really good. Otherwise, DO NOT WANT.

[@nameless-user]

Blaevy Apparently, Nolan was attached to the project at some point in some unknown capacity. He has shown the ability to understand source material; and he's a very visual director, something that could mesh quite well with the style of the original movie.

[@Danglyparts1]

nah Ridley Scott should direct it

thx for sharing and ur lovely vibes here !♥

[@MrMsSihrus]

I love how on Wikipedia's Akira live action page they say they're looking to cast someone "of any ethnicity", yet all the frontrunners are Caucasian white males.

[@pennypeach7616]

Completely against white people playing the character, but, if they HAD to choose a white actor, Chandler Riggs would be great.

[@pennypeach7616]

***** I hope that's sarcasm.

[@SynValorum]

***** Tadanobu Asano should be Colonel Shikishima.

[@michiamamomimi]

***** I tots agree!

[@hansabrams1258]

Penny Filkins Chandler Riggs as Akira? LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

[@LogainAblar]

After all these years, Kaneda's theme is STILL awesome. I saw Akira back in the 80's and there hasn't been anything quite like it since.

[@markosgonzalez3089]
