She does a wonderful job with it. Of course I'm not partial to Sinatra. I watched this series when I was still living at home, and my mom was very surprised to hear a golden oldy being played as end credits for a Japanese anime with giant robots.Roman J.

And yes, most anime DVDs provide romanji subs for the opening credits. Anime fans love to sing along. :)Roman J.

I like the closing tune, Fly Me to the Moon, as well.

But I'm with you, there are a few other opening titles that I like more than this one. Roman J.

I have no idea what I'm saying but I can sing a mean Japanese J POP song.<br /><br />I must admit there are other theme numbers that would have worked better.<br /><br />It's not one I love.SFFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04256589316922398158noreply@blogger.com
