The catchy intro to the song, which starts with a high-pitched whistle just after kickoff, is a familiar song from soccer programs. It is a song that is synonymous with “Captain Tsubasa,” which gained popularity for its memorable melody and unique yet easy-to-swallow lyrics such as “The chamber also runs” and “Butterfly Samba”. The song is sung by Hiroyuki Okita, who was popular as an idol at the time. Unfortunately, he passed away in 1999, but the song he left behind is still being sung by many people.

As you can see from the title, it is a minor change version of ‘Moete Hero’. It welcomed “Takayuki Takemoto” as a new singer and was used as the OP theme song from episode 88 of the first to the last episode of the anime. Compared to the original, the expression of the intro and the tune of the song have been changed. The song is surprisingly rare as most of the songs used in TV and karaoke are originals.

出典 : Amazon.co.jp

Captain Tsubasa J was broadcast between 1994 and 1995 as a remake of the first film. It depicts the beginning of the “World Youth Arc”, which was not depicted in the first film.

「Fighting!」

Many people born at the end of the Showa era or the beginning of the Heisei era would probably say this rather than “Moete Hero”. The melody and lyrics of this song have become more sophisticated, probably due to the time period that has passed. It may be a little old-fashioned, but the positive lyrics and the fast pace of the song give you energy. The song is sung by the two-member music group “FACE FREE”, which is responsible for the soundtrack and theme song of the OVA, and is an artist that is inseparable from this work.
