UNENDING JOURNEY

Track 2 of 'Bubblegum Crash! 1 [Illegal Army]' (バブルガム・クラッシュ! 1 【イリーガル・アーミー】), which is the official soundtrack of Episode 1, 'Illegal Army'.
This track is used in the opening theme of Bubblegum Crash!
Released: Apr 25, 1991
This is a part of an ongoing project to have the entire soundtrack of Bubblegum Crisis accessible to everyone in an organized manner for all to enjoy. All tracks are of the highest quality I can find, and slight adjustments to the audio were made to enhance your listening experience. Think of my doings as a labor of love for the series and community, this series has incredible music but it's sometimes hard to find exactly what you're looking for. I hope this will provide you with the high quality music that you're looking for. Thanks, and enjoy!

Hito wa mina mochikirenai hodo no ai to yume ryoute ni kakaete maioriru hoshi ni ima mirai wo takushinagara ashita e to sono yume wo egaku. 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. Kono ude ni fureru mono subete ga maboroshi ni kawaru sono mae ni fumishimeta sono ashi wo tomezu ni aruita nara sono yume ni chikazuite　yukeru. 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. Ima hatenai yume ga hajimaru kokoro no oku nemutteiru jibun jishin sagasu toki. Ima hatenai tabi ga hajimaru. Haruka na toki wo mitsumete. 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. Hito wa mina mochikirenai hodo no samishisa wo kokoro ni kakushite kinou yori ashita e to kaze ga nagareru you ni sono mune no omou mama hashiru. 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. Ima hatenai asu ga hajimaru. Yume wa itsumo kokoro no naka kanadeteyuku harmony. Ima hatenai tabi ga hajimaru. Haruka na sora wo mitsumete. 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. Ima hatenai asu ga hajimaru. Yume wa itsumo kokoro no naka kanadeteyuku harmony. Ima hatenai tabi ga hajimaru. Haruka na sora wo mitsumete. 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.

I really dig this theme especially because of its context: It's from a more forgotten period that not everyone remembers and knowing it's not exactly the same as what came before, yet the fact that it's from such an overshadowed in-between/after era gives it a whole different layer.

[@hoppinggnomethe4154]

it's still 80s, bud. just like movies made in the very early 2000s, like year 2000 are still very 90s

[@jakeneko]

Finally an HQ version LOL

[@OlEgSaS32]

Its no Konya Wa Hurricane but damn is it still amazing and hits the same themes

[@Toru9Sato]

I LOVE THIS SONG

[@alitaneko]

My second favourite song from the series (after only Hurricane) and this is still not in Spotify x.x

[@ditzydoo4378]

So good to hear this, I collected the entire CD collection and it still Rocks outloud.

[@MaskedRiderChris]

Tachikawa-san sounds different than Oomori-san, but this is a good thing. She brings a new flavor to Priss' songs, it sounds like; hers is just as striking a vocal style, and that's a good thing for an OP credits song. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, sir/ma'am!

[@ArchaeoWorlds]

Yes!! She nailed the same "voice personality" IMO, making me think the character grew up and changed organically, instead of just the singer being replaced. Amazing job.

[@Captain-dt1bt]

FINALLY found this theme 😂

[@nagashivasaimyneni4021]

this song slaps cuhh

[@kyflo]

This is definitely a cover of Joey Albert's Larger Than Life. I'm pretty sure that they were able to secure rights but somehow, they credited the wrong person.

[@inversion66]

Unfortunately I suspect it's more likely out and out plagiarism.

[@jmssun]

Plagiarism or not, I am glad that I got two great takes of the same song.. I love the crash version better because it give me that cyberpunk desolation vibe.. even if it were… more than heavily inspired 😅

[@supertt5292]

nobody cares, this song is bestial !!!. Nobody cares joey albert
