Isao Sasaki, Columbia Yurikago Kai

Artist

This pairing of anime-song giant Isao Sasaki with the children's chorus Columbia Yurikago Kai coloured the themes of 1970s hero and robot works. For 'Getter Robo' they performed 'Getter Robo!' and 'Gasshin! Getter Robo', and for 'UFO Robot Grendizer' they sang 'Tobe! Grendizer' and 'Uchu no Oja! Grendizer'. They also handled 'Daikuu Maryuu Gaiking' and 'Hoshizora no Gaiking' for 'Dino Mech Gaiking', 'Gatchaman Fighter' for 'Science Ninja Team Gatchaman F', and the theme of 'The Ultraman'. Powerful lead melodies layered with children's chorus shaped these archetypal hero songs.
