Bōken Jidai Katsugeki Goemon - Opening [English Subtitles]

This is the opening movie from "Bōken Jidai Katsugeki Goemon" (冒険時代活劇 ゴエモン) with English subtitles for the lyrics. The accuracy is not word-for-word, but gives us the general context.
"Bōken Jidai Katsugeki Goemon" was originally released on December 21st 2000 by Konami Computer Entertainment Kobe (KCEK) and got subsequent re-releases via "KONAMI the Best" & "KONAMI Hall of Fame Selection" editions.
An English localisation of this title was being worked on in 2002 by defunct company "Working Designs", though never officially released and did not surface until 20 years later where we learned the game was to be titled "Mystical Ninja Goemon Zero".
Theme Song: "Departure - Beyond the Great Sky" (『旅立ち -大空の向こうへ-』)
Sung by: STEPHAN.D
Words, music and arrangement: Takai Kou (高井興)
Japanese Lyrics:
大空をはばたく 鳥たちのように
高く遠くへと 道は続いていくの？
ちっぽけなボクらの胸にある希望
決して迷わず 生きていこう
愛と夢をのせて 今歌おう
さぁ 旅立ちのうたを
守るべきもの それは君の笑顔
あたたかいぬくもりと 勇気をください
守りぬきたい 永遠にこの世界を
明日に向かう大きな 翼をください (Yeah!!!)
愛と夢をのせて 今歌おう
さぁ 旅立ちのうたを
守るべきもの それは君の笑顔
あたたかいぬくもりと 勇気をください
守りぬきたい 永遠にこの世界を
明日に向かう大きな 翼をください (Yeah!!!)

I remember when the English prototype was shown off, I was expecting an English dubbed or subbed intro and was kinda disappointed. I tried translating the lyrics myself with some image translators, but never did anything with it. But hey, here's one now! Thanks! This intro is VERY hype, and probably the best thing about the game. Which is to say, the game isn't bad, just pretty underwhelming.

Thank You for the translation, i really needed it

[@MATABEI]

These character designs, while a little different from the standard Goemon cartoony look, are really unique and would look great in a full series anime or OVA. Too bad they only appeared in this one game, and then never again (I think...). Thanks always, GI, for uploading great content! Ganbare!!

The fact that Impact was nowhere to be seen in this intro is very disturbing to me.

[@GoemonInternational]

Sadly there's no Impact in this game (or even an equivalent big boss battles).

oh I hadn't seen the return of the channel, it's nice!!

Unpopular Opinion: i like the design of goemon in this game i think he looks kinda cool same goes to goemon's incarnation from new age series besides this story in bouken jidai katsugeki goemon sets in an different universe and i would consider he was the youngest out of goemon's incarnations.

1:30 who gave Ebisumaru a stand?

Just found myself humming to this theme out of nowhere and so glad to finally see a translated version of this song after so many years XD Really bring back memories, wish there's more Goemon game out ther

[@flowertiew1473]

Gee! It's very rare back in the day. Nonetheless, the intro's very clean & smooth!

[@edwinashwin7364]

You know the opening shows the incarnations of the Goemon crew are capable of, yet the only one you play in the game itself is the titular character himself. You think Konami would allow those who purchased the game to play as all four characters but oh well.

[@GattoriSancho]

Damn it why cant my volume go any higher

[@coolchannelize15]

So it’s a game only release in Japan? 😭

[@GoemonInternational]

It was, however the unreleased localised version called "Mystical Ninja Goemon Zero" was recently uploaded by Hiddenpalace.org.

Samurai Legend Musashi did it better, but still badass.
