Hoshi no Kaabii - Kirby March (Opening Theme)

[@candarus_collective]

everyone I know grew up to "KIRBY KIRBY KIRBY IS THE NAME OF THE SHOW" but I'm apparently the only weirdo who, at 7 years old, only knew the show from stumbling upon the subbed Japanese version on youtube and ran around the backyard singing THIS.

[@outfordouglas]

Your not the only one ... kid

[@th3yhatej0akim]

I knew I wasn't alone when I had watched the original Japanese version of the Kirby anime in my childhood (星のカ-ビイ/Kirby and The Stars), I'd watch the English and Japanese versions over and over again and sync the Japanese OP with videos from American cartoon theme songs

[@lightningmanectric3096]

[@cupio-stardust]

Did you sing it in broken Japanese?

[@candarus_collective]

@@cupio-stardust YES

[@StrikeFreedom78]

The Japanese episodes and the Japanese opening to Kirby really put a smile to my face. The music makes you feel like you're playing with Kirby and fighting alongside him against his enemies trying to bring darkness and sadness to Dreamland. Smiles all around!

[@SilverHairedFreak25]

@Marx Death fan 9997776 No. None of that. Shame on you.

[@mariajimenafigueroa8311]

@Juani Dude, the English version may not be the same as the original. But there's no need to be harsh, relax.

[@bencarrington3743]

When you realize that Azura's voice actor didn't sing that Smash Ultimate theme, but it was really this singer.

[@dylans.1741]

Well, in the Japanese version at least. It's well known nowadays that the English version is performed by Abby "Nezuko-chan" Trott

[@swagkirby3449]

My custom English lyrics: Sleeping in the sunny afternoon, He's Kirby of the Stars He may not look like it, but he's strong Coming from a land afar Kirby is the hero from Dream Land Marching all around in a marching band He's so cute, and he's round, and he's pink, Always keep fighting, Kirby! In this peaceful land of dreams, things always go awry That's why we have our Super Star, on a Warp Star in the sky He is gonna save us all in an unexpected way Fight the bad guy and suck 'em all up And spit them out right back where they came from to save the day! He's a perfect geometric sphere He's Kirby of the Stars In Dream Land it takes some time to get used to the way things are Hero of Dream Land full of gluttony Who copies everyone's abilities He's so cute, and he's round, and he's pink, Always keep fighting, Kirby! _Poyo..._

[@betthebrett5987]

Not this man, get back in there, tear!

[@AzafuseKingTora]

I made my own! He sleeps all day and eats a lot... He's Kirby of the Stars! He certainly looks pretty inoffensive, But he is very strong! He comes packed with some strange superpowers... He is the legendary hero! Powerful, warrior of the stars... I'm countin' on you, Kirby! In this peaceful land of dreams, things may not always go as expected That's why we got our SuperStar... Eating all the bad dreams away! Always fending cappy town, from all kinds of nasty monsters! Time and time again will our hero save the day, sending all nightmares right back where they belong! He's a perfect, pink geometric sphere He's Kirby of the Stars! He can change into anything but, he's really able to? He's truly a hero of legends... He comes packed with endless power! He's a true, warrior of the stars... Always keep fighting, Kirby! Poyo!
