Came upon in a MANDARAKE store in Tokyo by Tim “Starblazers.com” Eldred, this CYBORG 009 Asahi Sonorama single is, while you occur to occur to be my brain, one thing that is continually taking part in in the background at all hours of the day or evening. I am an unlimited CYBORG 009 fan. I fancy the cartoony vast-foot Shotaro Ishinomori vogue, I fancy the angsty, became-into-fighting-cyborgs-in opposition to-our-will story, I fancy the bizarre monster combination enemy cyborgs they’re thrown in opposition to, and most of all I fancy the indisputable fact that American fans of the display are thin on the bottom so there’s now not heaps of competition through grabbing CYBORG 009 toys or books at the anime cons (now not that there’s heaps of 009 stuff at anime cons as of late).
As we will be conscious from the final time I wrote about CYBORG 009, the sequence is ready 9 folks from all walks of existence who’re kidnaped by the atrocious Dark Ghost and have change into into cyborg infantrymen with masses of powers and expertise. They insurrection in opposition to the Dark Ghost and expend three films, three tv sequence, dozens of manga volumes, and one Asahi Sonorama single struggling with for the peace of the sphere.
The cool ingredient about this disc is that it be from 1966 and uses the theme song and the basic story from the contemporaneous Toei arrangement- however as a substitute of cheaping it out with manufacturing art from the film, the “guide” section of this “guide and file” attach choices all-contemporary Ishinomori art work. As a minimal it be now not art work I may per chance well viewed any place before, and I specialize in I may per chance well be conscious seeing all these illustrations someplace in my, ahem, sizeable sequence of 009 books and memorabilia.
Due to the miracle of my turntable and the Web it’s probably you’ll well now eavesdrop on this Asahi Sonorama file your very comprise self! Facet one is here and facet two is here. Be conscious to connect your computer to 33 1/3 RPM for maximum enjoyment!
So solid your mind support to 1966 and revel in the story of Cyborg 009 and his comrades in cybernetic hands as they combat to defend us in opposition to the Dark Ghost! Be at liberty to notify alongside with the theme song if the phrases… I maintain every person can address the first 9 lyrics.
