Bubblegum Crash Opening Theme

This is the full theme song to the 90's anime Bubblegum crash. Hope you enjoy another addition to my anime jukebox!

[@gagefarmer9615]

Many of the best songs in the world were made in the 80s.

[@lewiskerrison7476]

That's very true

What a great song. Bubblegum series has an awesome soundtrack!

[@Lonequacker]

So bummed that I found on spotify a playlist of pretty much every Bubblegum Crisis and sequel songs remastered but this is the one song that didn't seem to be there. I NEED it in my playlist.

[@brushfireglow]

because they were sued for it. they copied the entire song from someone called Joey Albert and the song is called Larger Than Life

[@ignacio6454]

There was no shame in showing your honest and raw heart in the 80's. Was that the secret for the great music? I do not know, but there was something in the air, those who have lived the days, we know it, but is hard to explain.

[@supertt5292]

This is the best !! right here !!

[@nboy7]

Im probably one of the few that really likes BG Crash. I only got to see BGC 2032 in around the late 90s and i knew nothing about it or how it was effectively cancelled at the end. When i watched the last episode of 2032 i was quite sad that it never got a proper ending. I was blown away to find out (a few years later) that Crash even existed. Think about any series you really liked that was done and dusted, and then finding out a few more episodes were made, thats how i felt and watching Crash made me so happy to see them back. Im sure at the time it was released, it might have been seen as disappointing but to me it was like finding a lost treasure.

[@dregoth22]

Crash was my introduction to the series, I thought it was great

[@kurokenshin1980]

I didn't feel it was a disappointment, but since it was episodic anyway the 8 OVAs. But I'm also glad that the OVA had found a fitting end in the form of Bubblegum Crash from 1991. The TV anime from 1997/1998, on the other hand, has disappointed me badly as a fan of the original anime OVA.

[@ITSMRFOXY]

​@@kurokenshin1980In what way did it dissappoint you?

[@kurokenshin1980]

@@ITSMRFOXY Well, since a certain character was completely misrepresented in the TV anime of Bubblegum Crisis 2040.

[@MetalVII]

I love Bubblegum Crash, one of my favourite animes of all time.

[@nerdicwarrior]

Crisis was better.

[@kurokenshin1980]

It's a good sequel to the original Bubblegum Crisis anime so far, far better than the Bubblegum Crisis 2040 TV anime in my opinion.

I'm not really a fan of J-pop/rock, but I've been addicted to this song all day. The original Bubblegum Crisis/Crash/AD Police are some of the coolest anime out there, by the way.

[@ServantOfPriss]

Surely not the best kind of continuation ever, but the songs were still ballin'. Classic early 90s stuff.

[@em23]

found it one night on the net and saved it to my hard drive. i really liked the tune enough to share it here.

[@Livelovelifeeleni]

Best opening song ever in a anime

[@headliner5550]

Never watched the anime but 80's is strong with this ost

[@nabahmadi5012]

You owe it to yourself to do so~😁

[@chanman83]

One of my favorite anime OPs ever. Crash was also the first time I saw bubblegum crisis/crash. After crash I had to find crisis. I wish they did a reboot. If Trigun can get one, Bubblegum Crisis should too!

[@WhatsMichaelAnyway]

Haha! I had the same experience. Crash first. And yep. A reboot would be cool if they can lean into the 80's one. I wasn't too keen on the reboot they made. It lacked... flavor. 😆

[@SteliosStylianou]

Love this soundtrack and best part is the guitar solo at 2.45 that’s epic!

[@madbdlmnmb]

while the series paled in comparison to the original Crisis 2032, I always loved this theme song. Serious rocking and such a powerful opening song!

[@joman6745]

I totally agree with you the intro song was the best thing out of these 3 episodes. The story line was a bit lame i think they were running out of ideas, However AD police files was a score in my opinion check its intro song and episodes if you haven't...

[@madbdlmnmb]

Arek your still on my account. please log off

[@ShinobiNeon]

***** Can anyone tell me the order the entire series goes in? AD Police > BG Crisis > BG Crash > then something else? Or am I wrong?

[@joman6745]

You are right on track. AD police files supposedly takes place 5 years before BG Crisis 2032, then Crash 2033 comes a year later into the series. I'm not sure what else is out there within this time line although I should mention Parasite Dolls falls somewhere in another branch of the AD police and well the revised BG Crisis 2040 which I enjoyed but didn't come close to the original 2032.

[@tekkenfan01]

Crash only got 3 episodes while Crisis had 8 so maybe not enough to get better

[@GrandmasterDevo]

I've had this song stuck in my head while making BGC content for one of my wikis. I must watch this show again at some point.

[@jaym3280]

My all time favorite opening animation/song combo and favorite anime song. This song has great lyrics, bass beat, synth music, guitar riff and it's sung beautifully by Kinuko Oomori! Love that wailing! Pris and the Replicants rock! Think Ghost in the Shell would be my second combo choice.

[@FaytLinegod]

Jay M Kinuko Oomori isn't singing this. It's Ryoko Tachikawa. Kinuko Oomori already moved on by the time this was made

[@jaym3280]

FaytLinegod Thanks for the info!

[@narayani7282]

Same!!! I think that this is the real and perfect anime song EVER!!!

[@ultimatekirax]

Vivan los 80s!!!!!!!

[@Mancavor]

Remind me a bit of ABBA! Oh I miss the 90's, but I didn't lived that much the 80's barely 3 years!

[@NorthSea_1981]

Absolutely. The melody and arrangement has a very European flavor. I can really imagine this awesome Japanese song be sung by Agnetha or Frida of Swedish ABBA.

[@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess]

I was born in 2006 but music from that era is my favorite!

[@milty66]

Check out Joey Alberts (Larger than Life) it’s the song that this was taken from with a slightly more poppy and aggressive arrangement

[@Frankcastlepunisher74]

This entire series never got the love it deserved. CRISIS, CRASH, AD Police and the updated 2040 series and AD Police 2000.

[@johnlockwood312]

[@Frankcastlepunisher74]

[@YawnBlue]

Totally didn't understand the series at all as a kid, (and my mom was definitely in the "Animated? It must be okay for kids!" mindset) but I liked the fight scenes, and this OP was just so good...

[@AthenaSaints]

(The 80s was a hell of a decade for music and anime.) Because Hollywood movies have not yet developed computer generated imagery. Only in Japanese anime, you can see camera view track a bullet exiting a gun barrel, travel through the air, and eventually entering a target.

人はみな　持ちきれないほどの 愛と夢　両手に抱えて 舞い降りる　星に今　未来をたくしながら 明日へと　その夢を描く この腕に　触れるもの全てが 幻に変わるその前に ふみしめた　その足を　止めずに歩いたなら その夢に　近ずいてゆける 今　果てない夢が始まる 心の奥　眠っている 自分自身　探す時 今　果てない旅が始まる 遙かな時を見つめて 人はみな　持ちきれないほどの 淋しさを　心にかくして 昨日より　明日へと　風が流れる様に その胸の　思うまま走る 今　果てない明日が始まる 夢はいつも　心の中 かなでてゆく　ハーモニー 今　果てない旅が始まる 遙かな空を見つめて People all hold more love and dreams than they can hold with both hands, and paint those dreams for tomorrow while entrusting the future to a new-falling star. If you go step by step, on your own two legs, without stopping, before everything your arms touch transforms into phantasms, you can approach those dreams. Now begins the unending dream, while you search for yourself, sleeping in the depths of your heart. Now begins the unending journey. Fix your sights on a faraway time. People all conceal more loneliness in their hearts than they can hold with both hands, and run as their hearts desire from yesterday to tomorrow, like the way the wind drifts along. Now begins the unending tomorrow. Dreams are an ever-playing harmony within your heart. Now begins the unending journey. Fix your sights on a faraway sky.

[@BelieMyBurial]

don't know why people complain about Crash so much. I mean Nene is in both series, where's the problem?

[@ZFSBoss2090]

+JoestarKisama It's probably because it's not the same as Crisis, or they just don't like it ends the series that ended open endedly at best before Crash came about.

[@Krystamyth]

I still haven't seen all of crash because I heard it ends the series. When Scoop Chase, unintentionally or maybe meant to be, turned out perhaps the sweetest send off one could ask for. I cry every time I hear Chase the Dream fading in and that absolutely perfect scene, if you're ever watching it with others, look at their faces. Smiles on every one of them I promise you.

[@Tython82]

Here's the story, basically Crisis was originally supposed to be about 13 episodes but after Episode 8 the studios involved Artmic and Yomex got into a dispute and thus the series ended the way it did. Crash was a result of Artmic going ahead and using what many fans think are the remnants of the scripts from the missing 5 episodes and made Crash, Yomex and Artmic once again fought over the rights since Yomex techincally owned the rights to the series, then the rights and Yomex were bought by AIC which had a hand in creating Bubblegum Crisis 2040

As far as wikipedia (unfortunate only source of info regarding the subject) tells it isnt a retelling but rather the remaining last 5 episodes packed into 3 from the original 13 from which only 8 were made.

[@robertclopton8942]

Great song, who is singing it?

[@em23]

Ryoko Tachikawa

[@DreadArkive]

It was an un-approved continuation of Crisis. Legal problems concerning ownership of the series led to it being stuck at 3 episodes. Amazing how the original voice actors returned for it, as that is one of its few saving graces. While entertaining, it just comes across as trite and cliche with the change to the KS into typical 80's heroes with the copy/pasted "gear up" scene (good as it was) and even their own freaking jet fighter (think the set up for SWAT Kats or something similar).
