Junko Yagami to Perform Ending Theme for REBEL 3199<\/em> Chapter 7
\nNew Character Visuals Feature a Rainbow Palette<\/h2>\n

The ending theme for REBEL 3199<\/em> Chapter 7, Rainbow-Colored Reincarnation<\/em>, has been announced as Toward the Far Distance, Toward Eternity<\/em>, performed by Junko Yagami. A music video for the song has also been released.<\/p>\n

Toward the Far Distance, Toward Eternity<\/em> is based on the piece Birth of a New Galaxy<\/em>, composed by Hiroshi Miyagawa for the 1980 film Be Forever Yamato<\/em>. The new arrangement was created by Akira Miyagawa, with lyrics penned by Yohei Matsui, who also wrote the lyrics for the Chapter 4 end song, Waves of Light<\/em>. Notably, Junko Yagami also performed the ending theme song for the original Space Battleship Yamato, The Final Chapter.<\/em><\/p>\n

Comment from Junko Yagami<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

“I never imagined that, after more than 40 years, the day would come when I could sing a Yamato<\/em> theme song once again.” I still vividly remember the thrill of writing Love Supreme<\/em> as the theme song for the 1983 film Final Yamato<\/em>, a piece recorded live with an orchestra under the baton of Hiroshi Miyagawa. Upon receiving the music for this new song, I immediately sensed the grand, cosmic vision crafted by Akira Miyagawa. It is a song that, unusually for me, stays in a lower register throughout. I truly hope you enjoy listening to it.<\/p>\n

Comment from Akira Miyagawa<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

My late father, Hiroshi Miyagawa, was a huge fan of Junko Yagami. And as it happens, she began her own singing career inspired by The Peanuts. Yohei Matsui and I stepped in to set the stage for this collaboration. Could this be considered a “new” song from Hiroshi Miyagawa after all this time? Perhaps it is better described as a long-overdue act of filial piety.<\/p>\n

Comment from Yohei Matsui<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

In 3199<\/em>, every character is confronted with the question: “How should I live?” They grapple with the realization that, from the moment of birth, each of us is tethered to a specific time and place, an anchor, if you will. I wrote the lyrics for Toward the Far Distance, Toward Eternity<\/em> with those who choose to weigh anchor and set off on a journey in their mind, mirroring Yamato<\/em>\u2019s voyage through space and time toward the ultimate horizon. A person can only kindle a single flame of life, yet that very light serves as proof of one\u2019s existence, and has the power to illuminate the path for someone else. That is the sentiment I poured into this song. <\/p>\n

Additionally, seven new character visuals have been unveiled. Reflecting the title of Chapter 7, each character is depicted against a background representing one of the seven colors of the rainbow. (See them all below.)<\/p>\n
