Area 88 How far to paradise

[@gundamgeek1]

One way or another. I'll get myself together. I'll get my body moving I'll get my head to clear One way or another Gonna cross the desert I'm going far away from here One way or another Sheer determination Moves one foot, then the other Lord, it's a heavy load One way or another I'll reach my destination Lord, it's a long and lonely road * How far to paradise? How far to paradise? How long the journey To deliver my soul? How far to paradise? How far to paradise? How far back to my home? Trials and tribulations Heartache and frustration Somehow I go on living Sometimes I wonder why Far too many questions Never any answer Only my faith keeps me alive Repeats * Will she still be there for me I need the tender love she gave me Still be there to care for me Only her precious love can save me

I always feel so bad for Shin. . .This song completely captures his pain. . .

[@strawberrygoldfish]

Norm Ones Indeed, this is Shin in a nutshell.

[@Bruh-yb8qo]

Indeed

[@panosthemaster]

Reminds me of my childhood years... How many times did i cried,when jin returned back to area 88 and he left his gf?? Unlimited... Perfect story/emotion plus soundtrack!

[@1971rei]

OMG! I was so crazy about this anime (and comics) when I was in junior high. Area 88 is one of my favorite anime. I still remember of seeing the premier show at the theater in Shinjuku... almost 30 years ago!!! I still keep some records (not CD!) in my old closet.

[@cobgab]

From what u wrote i assume u r from japan

[@MDthornton83]

I agree. It's awesome, epic, and emotional. Area 88 has some of the best music in the history of anime.

[@Johnlindsey289]

Agree

[@TheShinBlack]

All these years and this theme still bangs. Timeless

[@ThunderFist1978]

I remember hearing this song the first time I heard it in the first OAV. It was love at first note. I still have the VHS tapes I bought of it in 1999.

[@thehawkcbm]

Still love this one. Probably one of my favorite songs from an anime

[@Sinistralx]

This thanklessly beautiful song speaks to my wretched soul. To anyone who struggled and bled for a goal, but kept to it til they got there, one way or another. So damn much real life application...one of the best songs made for anime ever.

[@Lightscribe225]

I remember watching this when I was a real young kid. I loved this song but had no way of finding it. Game Grumps reminded me this still existed.

[@JRock424]

Man, I remember hearing this at a computer lab at colege ten years ago. a few years later I got the album on ebay. Such memories.

[@SHINR__]

I may be late to this anime... 13 years late, but I'm here for this absolutely amazing song and intro! Thank you for posting!

[@DonForceFeedback]

You should watch the 80's version as well! I had stumbled on that just recently and it hits different like someone else is telling a famous story.

[@psaris7]

one of the best animes in greece im 19 years old and i still love it!!! i will never forget the way this song made me fly to paradise

[@ezequielrobles2744]

I love this anime and it’s sad nothing compared to it another great anime it’s simple and great

[@Sentry331]

I collected the comic back in the day as well as having act one on VHS. Brings back some good memories. Thanks for this great song.

[@carmengabriela8711]

Sentry331 I have the manga too, but it is in Japanese xD

[@Sinistralx]

-It is said the sands are gentle to those who die in the desert. It is also said the desert punishes survivers. THIS...is AREA 88....a redhot battlefield....surrounded by sand.--- The depth and poetic cynicism in those comics haunts me to this day. Those were the days ;/

[@maxbrandt6]

Love this song!

[@LoneDewott]

literally the best opening song ive heard in an anime

[@RayValdezPhotography]

One of the saddest animes around. This song was cool. sounds like a black man singing in an anime.

[@fenrislegacy]

In the manga, the death of Saki & Mickey took a tool on Shin, and after he killed Kanzaki in a duel (Northrop F-5E Tiger II vs McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet), he just snapped. He went back to Japan & to Ryoko but had no memories of the past few years.

[@kennyzia2795]

@@fenrislegacy do you know where I can read the whole series, because every time I find the manga series it only goes up to chapter 59?

[@Tigershark_3082]

@@kennyzia2795 Yeah. Unfortunately, the manga was never finished in terms of its translation, so your best bet is to either learn Japanese, or find someone that would be willing to translate it. Or, find some of the primitively translated versions that exist.

i know some people who may disagree with that... however it's certain that the old version was more mature the bad thing with both though is that they leave the ending incomplete.

[@AlanDouradoBA]

Epic. As an 80's anime have to be.

[@Rob-cw9jr]

1980's as fuck. I want to see a modern take on Area 88, with real actors and real planes. If you can do the new Top Gun you can def do this? Gimme like a quick 10 ep netflix banger, pure B list action with real planes plz.

[@Tigershark_3082]

Couldn't do it with real planes for a number of reasons 1. It's an anti-war story about mercenaries, so no government funding whatsoever 2. Majority of the planes featured in Area 88 are gonna be impossible to get ahold of, due to none being flyable 3. The ones are still flyable are usually in private or contractor ownership, and you'll have to pay an absolute PREMIUM to rent just the aircraft, not even counting the pilot, maintenance crew, etc.
