- For the first time ever, here is the complete set of the Supermarionation Japanese opening title sequences, fully subtitled into English.
With thanks to Steve Okubo for providing the translation for Stingray, and Fanderson for Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet, Joe 90 & UFO.
All subtitles created by myself by using Magix Edit Pro. I also restored the video where possible by using new DVD sources.

Gotta say that thunderbirds japanese opening is still kinda faithful to the original theme
「飛び交うミサイル／吹っ飛ぶ銀行」
なんて素晴らしい歌詞なんだ！
日本人です。ありがとうございます。懐かしい子供の頃見ました。
Quelle chance vous avez! En France, il a fallu attendre 76 pour découvrir Thunderbirds. Et encore! juste quelques épisodes en mauvaises copies!!!
I like the Thunderbirds one best because it’s triumphant and doesn’t ruin it too much.
Joe 90 comes in second for uniqueness. The U.F.O. one doesn’t count, but is still good narration.
Also, at 4:49, it sounds like they are saying “UK”.
日本のアンダーソンのファンです。素晴らしい企画によるコンテンツをありがとうございます。とても面白く楽しめました。
（ただちょっと気になるところがあります。ＵＦＯのスカイ１のシーンで、日本語で「海上を超スピードで進み…」と言っているところの訳が"it will travel at the speed of light"とあるのは誤解を与えると思うのですが)
「キャプテンスカーレットの日本版オープニングはダサい」とお嘆きの方々がたくさんいらっしゃるようですが、安心して下さい。日本人の私でも違和感バリバリですから。（まあ、その落差を感じるのもオツだと思うのですが）さらにもっとすごいコンテンツが我国にはあります。それは「謎の円盤ＵＦＯ」の歌！。CZcamsで見られますのでどうぞご覧下さい。
Un grand merci pour l'info! 🙂
The Joe 90 theme at 4:06 is probably the best one. Its very catchy
子供のころはウルトラマンが好きだったけど、それよりもキャプテンスカーレットが大好きだ！
やはりイギリスの特撮技術は素晴らしい！
I can't get over how happy the Scarlet song is.
Then you can't get over how a heroic theme is used for a heroic character?
Japan took one look at these and said "You know what these need? Giant monsters. I don't care if an alien or guys in bright spandex have to fight them, but they need giant monsters."
Ever Heard of X Bomber?
The Japanese Captain Scarlet is so weird. It takes a creepy, dark show and turns it into some Astro Boy like thing. I like it.
I first saw Thunderbirds in Japan. My Father was stationed over there. Since a puppet show with space ships was not the weirdest thing I saw on Japanese TV, I just assumed that it was a Japanese show. This was the early 1970 and there was no internet. I did not find out that Thunderbird was a English show till the early 1980's when I saw the TV movies.
これと同じレベルのものを今つくることは不可能だろうな。CGじゃないすごさがある。
スティングレイの日本語バージョン、懐かしいなぁ。
This is what the internet is for. I always wondered what the theme tunes sounded like in Japanese when I was five
RIP Gerry
about time we see how other country saw the shows . Great to see fresh edits and takes on the all too familiar
デアゴスティーニのジェリーアンダーソンD V Dコレクションでは「スーパーカー」「宇宙船X L5」「ロンドン指令X」「スペース1999」が省かれていた
@TB1fan I love these versions, having subbed them for the past week, the songs have really grown on me lol.
The Thunderbirds theme reminded me a bit of the Space Battleship Yamato theme.
幼稚園から中学生の時迄に見た。サンダーバード→ペネロープの声∶黒柳徹子。機材を、入れているコンテナ∶サンダーバード四号が収納された4番だけ同じ。UFO→次回予告のナレーション∶小森和子。C・スカーレット∶懐中電灯の光で、遊んだ。懐かしさが、蘇る。
Thank you and good job from Yokohama Japan!
The Mysteron monologue sounds so much creepier! Hilarious that it would have followed such an upbeat kiddie song, though. Interesting that of all of songs (we won't count UFO which was just narration setting the scene) only the one for Thunderbirds actually uses real music from the show, Barry Gray's Century 21 March. Wasn't there also a song for Space: 1999?
Space 1999 also has Japanese original song. You can find it in CZcams. Needless to say original one is 10 times better than that though the singer of the Japanese song is well known person.
It's not that "hilarious," considering that this is still a show about a hero, so the song is cheering him on, and that most Japanese TV openings from this time period were like this.
@@t7052ts Not "10 times better," just different.
確か、Continentalエンジェルとかゆうお姉さんが乗ってる飛行機がカッコ良かったなー（笑）突撃戦闘車は後ろ向きに乗って運転していた記憶ー（笑）幼稚園児頃だったかなー(^_^;)
The Japanese's theme to Captain Scarlet is weird. How is Cloudbase a spacestation? Where is there a episode featuring a robot with a ray gun? And why on Earth are children singing this happy, cheesy tune to this very dark series?
PS: That real life Spectrum Salon car at the begining was awesome.
The saloon was also a fake slot car. I’ve seen a better quality of the clip before
Cloudbase is in the sky, which is close enough to space. The children are singing a this happy tune because this is still a show about a hero who's here to save us, and they're cheering him on. This being a "very dark series" is irrelevant. And the theme isn't "weird" or "cheesy." It's determined and heroic, like many Japanese TV opening themes from this time period.
I think all the classic shows was aired in Japan
back in the days of classic Anime, Kamen rider and Super sentai
shows. Then they got an ideal to make the 1st puppet
tv series from what else but X-bomber aka Star felt
We'll keep an eye out for ya, Stingray.
AWESOME! i LOVE THESE TITLES
AWESOME! I love these Japanese title sequences! But I love the English ones even more.
thunder birds ...all time best animation.
I can't understand why the Japanese networks created their own titles for the series, particularly Captain Scarlet. Having a song that is upbeat in tone completely changed the mood that Gerry Anderson intended to create, indeed he cringed when he saw the Japanese version of the captain scarlet opening titles...
Love a lot of Japanese anime music but damn I'm glad I grew up in Britain and got the Barry Grey stuff! Big Rato! Didn't know that I new how to speak some Japanese! LOL
Thanks Dude I just relived my childhood in Japanese,these show were Corny corny but l enjoyed them then and I enjoy them now, Thanks again
This song for Captain Scarlett doesn't matches at all. Considering how this series was the darkest of all Gerry Anderson productions from the "Supermarionation" era. This happy sounding song fits more for a funny anime or something.
日本の少年はこれで育ったが、オリジナルテーマ曲が
合ってると思いますよ。
sounds like something from Gamera
It does match. Captain Scarlet is a show about a hero, so it makes sense for the theme to be heroic. The series being "the darkest of all Gerry Anderson productions from the 'Supermarionation' era" is irrelevant. Most Japanese superhero shows from this time period had themes like this, even when dealing with dark subject matter. Saying that "This happy sounding song fits more for a funny anime or something" shows how little you know about Japanese television.
1980年に放送された｢Ｘボンバー｣もスーパーマリオネーションに扱われるのかな？
あれは日本で制作した特撮作品だから別物
Captain Scarlet had the best vehicles. Good trailer, but the captions were a bit redundant.

Thank you Grant, much appreciated! I haven't been really paying close attention with the numbers, or update this channel that often. But I'm sure you'll get a notification of when I upload any more clips in the future :-)
登場するメカの重量感が、好きだなﾟ+.ﾟ(´▽`人)ﾟ+.ﾟ
this is amazing
"Thunderbirds! fly! into the big bright blue sky" es parafraseado por un personaje del manga "Mahou Tsukai No Yome" en el capitulo 2 ;D
1960's
In UK,
007 movies siries, SUPERMARIONATION siries,
and The Beatles.
In Japan,
Monsters & Heroes movies(Godzilla, Ultraman, and more...),
Animations(Astro Boy(Tetsuwan Atom), Speed Racer(Mach GoGoGo) and more...) ,
and Sukiyaki song(Ue wo muite arukou.).
Thunderbirds base on gatchaman 1-3 and thunderbirds 2084
Captain scarlet base on gatchaman crowds
Go go go Joe Juju Biga ratu sounds a lot better than the theme we had.
Yes I do. Which ones do you want to know?
I wonder what they did with the stingray end credits aqua marina
Same here I never been able to find a single japanese stingray episode online
AMAZING !
No Space 1999?
Actually what I meant was the font for "Captain Scarlet" in red at 3:02.
Interesting. Only the Thunderbird theme (Second movement) remained unscathed but the others.........DEAR GOD!!!!!
Now I know how the Japanese must have felt when Saban, FUNamations and 4Kids literally DESTORYS the themes is such classic Anime like Samurai Pizza Cats,Maple Town,One Piece and Dragon Ball
.
UFO was also decent
Unless you've actually talked to Japanese people who feel that way about American anime themes, no, you don't know. Saban, FUNimation, and 4Kids didn't "literally DESTROY the themes." They just wrote different music for a different audience, while the original themes are still intact.
Same goes for the Anderson themes: The originals remain unscathed, and the songs the Japanese came up with are catchy and heroic, fit their respective shows well enough, and go along nicely with other Japanese TV opening themes of the time period. Your "DEAR GOD!!!!!" is in vain.
SANDAAAAAAA BARDOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Not ALL of them - but maybe only these ones aired in Japan - I remember Super Car and Fireball XL5 before Stingray, Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet - and then I think came Secret Service and THEN Joe 90. There was also Four Feathers which came before any of the others, but I never saw that one.
The Adventures of Twizzle, Torchy the Battery Boy, Four Feather Falls, Supercar, Fireball XL5, Stingray, Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet, Joe 90, The Secret Service, UFO, The Protectors, Space: 1999, Terrahawks and Space Precient. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerry_Anderson
I love the way you've subtitled it you've really gone to town with the animations especially the spins and the go go go go that really made me laugh. I mean that in a good way becouse it suits the songs. Why the hell did they put lyrics on the theme tunes in the first place?
Because that's just how it was with Japanese TV openings from this time period, especially for children's shows.
I don't think Captain Scarlet ever found that robot armed with a ray gun. Colonel White would not have been impressed.
Just wondering what was the font used in the JOE 90 subtitles? I remember seeing that typeface on the credits for Pinocchio (the Disney film), but can't think of what it is called.
Oh my good God
OK, "UFO" wasn't a Supermarionation series, so since you included it why not include "Terrahawks," "Space: 1999" or "Space Precinct" in your compilation?
懐かしい。数年前のキムタクの宇宙戦艦ヤマトの特撮にあきれた。今から４０～５０年前のイギリスの特撮はすごすぎる。円谷プロの特撮は悪くわないけど、この当時のイギリスの特撮には到底及ばないね。製作費の違いかしらね。
アンダーソン作品も低予算で制作している部分もある
Well, it may be a laughable thing from the perspective of real people, but as a Japanese, I'm excited just looking at it.
I would like XL-5.
The only themes that remain intact are Thunderbirds and UFO! (“Joe 90” does sound close to the Original theme tune! But what the hell Was wrong with The Original “Captain Scarlet and The Mysterons” Opening? Guns were allowed on Children’s Programmes in Japan in 1967!!! I’m Glad they didn’t touch “Gerry Anderson’s New Captain Scarlet”!)
Somehow the changes within the opening for Joe90 doesn't do it for me!
Although I perfectly understand the need to translate\ change lyrics, I don't understand why the brand would need to be diluted by changing the music (score)?
+CPU UK The Japanese seem to be big on theme songs with vocals. On the other hand they weren't the only ones to change theme songs on Anderson productions. Some episodes of the German dub of Space: 1999, Mondbasis Alpha I, used Jean Michel Jarre's "Oxygene II" as the theme instead of Barry Gray and Derek Wadsworth's themes.
Now I'm glad the US completely re wrote Macross and turned it into RoboTech
Such was the pre-internet age
YOU FUCKING WRECKED IT!!!!!!! THIS IS PAYBACK FOR 2 NUKE STRIKES RIGHT????
Microgramma D Extended & Futura Display.
I'm searching for it now, but I cant find it.
I hated the Japanese Stingray intro but although Thunderbirds and Joe 90 has the best Japanese intro in my opinion,
Only if they had a translated dub of the Japanese Thunderbirds intro for the UK version just imagine...
I think the Stingray, TB, and UFO intros are the best in Japanese
sore wa subarashii desu!
Joe 90 actually has a better theme then the original version! :D
I don't know about you, but the Captain Scarlet theme sounds more like a rip-off of the "Astro Boy" theme.
Sounds more like Gamera
Oh, thats 'Corporate'.
Does anyone know the names of the fonts used here?
Why the hell is this Age Restricted? It's Gerry Anderson related for God sake!

何故誰う、スぺクトラムの階級ってキャプテンスカーレットだけ英語読みで、その他は階級の呼び方が日本語なのは。英語読みの方がカッコ良かったっと想うのだが。
宗像法男 殿、当時の雑誌連載のコミック（雑誌名は憶えていません）では「ブルー大尉」を「キャプテン・ブルー」と表記していました。
Why on earth this is resticted viewing is beyond me!!! Any reason why??

why is this age restricted?

@@TV21 I know this youtuber called iBXTpycay who uses filters for this without needing to age restrict. I don’t think it’s best to resort or age restricting
American Stingray theme was still better. They should have just kept that and translated 'Stingray'. It was more action-sounding.
Wait, what...? These already had terrific instrumental themes, why did they put bloody sailor moon type songs over the top of them! Must be something in their diet...After listening to this crap I certainly feel the wind swelling behind me...although I suspect it's not just wind.
OK thanks
But what about Gerry Anderson's
FireBall X L - 5 ???
Super Car ????
Those must have been aired in Japan too right ????
The Super Mario nation
Dose NOT use Puppets
They are by definition
Marionettes
The mouths of the characters are triggered by tiny electric servos that the Anderson Studios design themselves
This Japanese kids ballad for STINGRAY is a charming, cute theme. I suppose the shame of it is that the original STINGRAY theme by Barry Gray is one of the best things he ever did, and in fact it is one of the coolest TV themes of the 1960s. Why take that away from little kids in Japan? I think it was a stupid thing to do.
And gerry anderson will be mad
Why? His biggest legacy probably lives in Japan through Japanese scifi. They were about the only ones who truly appreciated his work.
Actually he was mad about Captain Scarlet one.
Just the one for "CAPTAIN SCARLET" title and the one for Joe 90.
Stinglay
@ACtheLegend LOL.
They ruin all barry gray's theme song makes
WTF!!!!?????
Its bad enough you killed all aquatic life in the Pacific ocean
Those themes are just weird.
Whoever decided to remove a vital part of the programmes, ie THE MUSIC deserves to be shot with jellyfish shit. Terrible .
To be honest, stingray is my favorite show and the japanese opening is the worst of all of them
Beyond bad, beyond belief. Atrocious.
