Ru Ru Ru Russian Roulette (Dirty Pair OP 1985)

And I am 35 years younger. Thank you very much. Lovely Angels RULE!!!

they probably would be very surprised that someone just spelled their team name right

[@teto85]

@@PaladineAvenger1 These ladies rock. A long time ago my housemate and her friend cosplayed Kei and Yuri, even down to Yuri's dark purple hair. Yes, they did take first place.

Sailor Moon exposed me to anime as a kid, but I only watched it because my older sisters hogged the tv. The Dirty Pair is what actually hooked me onto the genre. As soon as I was old enough to move away from home, I subscribed to the Anime Network, and this was the first thing I saw. It's been my favorite anime ever since. 😊

[@Icewolfcommand]

The manga is what got me into anime in general. The "Angels" of WWWA are and always be legendary to me. 😆

[@samaeltheangelofdeath]

Right on. There was this mummm. Well. I read somewhere, once .. In time... That it was illegal "", to draw angels in comics... In... America... But.. Nevermind

When I em-brace this Magnum, clutch it close to my heart, it's like a 'lectric surge is buzzin' through the telephone wire. I'm riskin' everything I've got now, are you ready - babe, I'm ready for ya. Let's play this game of Ruh-shi-an Roulette! Hearts pounding to the beat - dance, dance! Giddy with the thrill of it - chance, chance! Our hearts pound to the beat - dance, dance! We're giddy with the thrill of it - chance, chance!

Until I've risked my life, risked everything, to get you - gonna getcha for good - I am your dead-li-est Ruh-shi-an Roulette! Hearts pounding to the beat - dance, dance!

[@DashnoChris]

I've heard vinyl enthusiasts express a preference for the format's "warmer sound" -- all I know is the warmth in my heart that welled up at the soft static sounds of the needle on the phonograph that kicked off this recording. Thanks for that, Noah. ＊*♡( ⁎ᵕᴗᵕ⁎ ）

[@chalion8399]

I remember, when my friend went on a trip to Japan and was able to source a lot of anime. That got me started with anime and having a local book store who would also source anime and have weekend movie nights from popular requests. I'm very sad when that store closed a decade ago.

WHY I THIS NOT IN SPOTIFY IM SO MAD

[@crystalidentity]

Dammit, you are right. I just did a very thorough search (in Japanese). They don't have the Dirty Pair version of this song at all. They do have Meiko's album version (very different, it's just not so exciting as this arrangement), and they have the Dirty Pair ED song 'Space Fantasy'. But they are greyed out, which means you'd need to use a VPN and connect to Japan in order to listen to those songs.

[@Yonex9900]

Do you have a link to that? Couldn't find it on YT. Also, was it part of the World God Only Knows soundtrack? Kanae Itou did a cover of Urusei Yatsura's Dancing Star for that.
