Misc What is your bgm once transformed into a japanese hero?

[sarkwalvein]

I really like that song, but specially the version sung by Yakushimaru Etsuko... That said, I don't think it goes very well as a transformation theme.

Sure, kind of underrated song, I rather original. Isn't so? lyrics are about bravery.
I guess this one is more suitable:

 

[Nikokaro]

Thinking back to the early tokusatsu, after the 2 already mentioned great robots (Giant Robot and Daitetsujin17), I cannot forget the legendary, if ridiculous, Super Robot Red Baron and its unforgettable theme: those who played Super Tokusatsu Taisen 2001 (psx) delving beyond the early chapters will easily recognize it.

As much as I love the original Gatchaman, I have a really soft spot for the theme from the 'Americanized' version, Battle of the Planets, so I'd have that as my 'transformed' music...



...although I'd probably transform into a character from Kure Kure Takora...

...so maybe this would be a better theme...

 

[Nikokaro]

The first theme is not bad, but the second one is absolutely, blatantly, unequivocally, fantastically, absurdly ................................................. ludicrous. A joke, I suppose, that clashes a bit with the overall "holy" atmosphere.

 

[Nikokaro]

Speaking of the amazing Super Tokusatsu Taisen 2001 (psx) I cannot refrain from mentioning the overwhelming theme of one of the main characters, metal hero Luciferd: listen to it once, you will be won over and will never forget it. Wonderful!!!

I am relaunching this dear thread of mine with a tribute to the beloved master (as well as father of all mangakas) Go Nagai and his curvy sexy heroine Kekko Kamen. I hope no one will be shocked by this.
This is the opening theme song of this singular and little-known ecchi (OVA) series.
Listen and you will never forget it...

Mmmh... would big mechas/robots still count, lol
Myself I'd more be like a guy piloting his giant robot to kick them weekly monster's ass into kingdom's come, hah.

 

[Nikokaro]

Some time later I return to this thread of mine with a new tribute to the dear master Go Nagai: this time it is Devil Lady (Devilman Lady) a manga (and then anime) from the 1990s and inspired by the original and oldest character of Devilman: I post below the final theme of the series, sweet and melancholy (also because the opening one, a kind of devilish church choir, is horrible and bland ):

I love this intro when I was a kid, I was impressed but with age, I find it very funny, the shot of the ninja who crosses a bay window to slide into an open work space, it's priceless !

@1:12 mark, this was my backyard wrestling theme when I was a teenager:

@Jayro , hmm... Actually this is outside the scope of this thread (anime or tokusatsu bgms/themes)... but, since it's you, that's okay too...
