Betterman - Chin -Requiem- (lyrics+translation)

[@中村智樹-j6y]

単純にカッコいいだけじゃなく、監督が歌ってる所が更にカッコいい

[@opheliadarke8322]

Sobbing and crying 15 years later after watching and finishing Betterman! Over this damn song. This is legit one of the best themes I've heard on an anime series still to date god this shit goes so hard

[@RagnellAvalon]

personally I can't get over the biggest twist in the show being that Hinoki and Lamia aren't related

[@Xeno-The-Wanderer]

@@RagnellAvalon they are, it’s spelt out really obvious… well more where the appearance of Lamia came from is related to hinoki being of her brother Mario who contracted Algernon producing a seed Lamia consumed to get his appearance as seen here

[@negativekarma3544]

[@kawaii_yousei]

この曲だけでもすごいのにラストテーマの高音域もヤバイ。監督すごすぎ。

[@darthwinsor]

This very much feels like the kind of song you’d hear as someone’s ringtone in an early 2000s anime convention.

[@カイケンイチ-v3v]

スパロボで新バージョンの方聞いてハマったので原曲(？)を聴きに来たら、これ歌ってるの監督ってコメで驚いた。歌うめぇ！ビブラートがたまらん！

[@縁の下の焼き鳥]

スパロボ30でBGMに出て初めて聴いて惚れたからガオガイガー系は全部これにしたけど、やっぱBGMよりも歌がカッコ良すぎるw監督うた上手すぎwww

[@OGPimpin]

An extremely underrated show!

[@perrobang8925]

I had to go to listen to it again due to nostalgia sake. The scene with Nebula in the ending credits has been etched in my mind forever as one of the most mysterious, haunting, and Awesome images of all time.

[@jayesper4390]

This really deserves over a million views. Quite possibly the best theme I've heard.

[@LamBosco]

it's actually the ending song...

[@Karma20XX]

I remember this one.

[@旋風寺舞人-p6g]

歌詞が厨二チックで、かつ全体的におどろおどろしい。なのにかなりクセになる！！

さすが監督、昔バンドやってたとか言ってただけの歌唱力はある。

[@炸猪排蓋飯]

ガオガイガー観て知りました かっこいいですね！

[@eunderscoremegas]

Fun fact: The vocalist, - ma i- is actually director Yoshitomo Yonetani under an alias. This is also not the first time he's done vocals for a theme for an anime he directed: he also sung both - extra - versions of Yuusha-Oh Tanjou! and "J" (Soldato J's theme) for the GaoGaiGar FINAL soundtrack.

[@magnetdance]

Interesting. Thanks for sharing! I'm gonna go hunt down those songs now.

[@redkite1908]

Makes sense, they do happen in the same setting.

[@docbaker3333]

and now wonder He has an amazing singing voice.

[@Alacardt]

Thank you for posting this. Ive been looking for it for a very long time, since i first found out about the anime when sci-fi channel showed anime and was actually cool lol.

[@akumablitz9655]

Betterman was one of the first anime series I watched and I always loved this song

[@timewarriorsaga]

Been playing srw 30 and hobestly thisis one of my favorites . Need to check out the anime

So glad more people are playing SRW

[@tousisintaku1982]

It's very nice to finally have translated lyrics for this song. I tried for many years to find them to no avail. Thank you for this! Now if only I knew where my soundtrack disc was...

監督さんアニソン歌手とかでもやってけたんじゃね？ってくらい上手い

[@makabebe9515]

Lamia got mostly feminine appearance but he's masculine in personality, I imagine Lamia having the same voice with the singer, he's cool that way.

[@kigirudrewko4767]

He actualy is voiced by Takehito "OMFG! IT'S DIO!" Koyasu in the show. Happily Koyasu voiced him with much calmer, less booming voice than his usual roles and thus it's rarely mentioned by people as "TEH VOICE OF DIO". Also, Lamia is pretty typical bishounen - A young boy that is both handsome and has very gentle, almost femine appearance. It's very popular trope in anime, but mostly ones that are directed for teen female audience, Lamia is kinda exception.

[@ダイチ-d4t]

これもすごいんだけど、ベターマン最終回ED曲では全編ファルセットで歌い切る米たにヨシトモ監督…ッ！

I would really like to find the single album that features karaoke versions of this and the opening, but that was released in 1999 and I doubt anybody has it online.

[@magnetdance]

I used to have the .mp3 somewhere long long ago. Haven’t been able to find it unfortunately.
