  • karlgnisha yumi its from 1999or from 2004

  • SOLID :D

  • GOU 剛 also means doesnt give up ; tough or gang/group

    it had several meanings/inuendos

    -info from a japanese fan

  • 1:17 berg katse¿

  • 確かBがバルーンタイヤとかいって、タイヤが膨らむんです。Cを­押すとカッターが出てきて、EかFかどっちか忘れたけどそれで水­中に潜れるようになるんです。よく覚えてたな自分www

  • これ見たらアメリカで作った実写版の映画のデザインがクソ過ぎる­のが分かる。

    あのマッハ6・・・・・・

  • oh i get it !!! LOL mach 5 is actually mach go go go lol , lost in translation

  • @bombuchu

    GO means 5 in Japanese. But they probably do mean GO GO GO literally. Eh, who knows.

  • @TheRedStocking The three GOs are related to the car (Mach Go, Mach Machine, or just "The Mach"), the pilot (Go Mifune, which is the reason on the M on the car (the logo of Mifune Motors)) and the word Go! Go in japan also stands as 5 and that, along with Mifune's race number, made The Mach into Mach 5. The change from Go Mifune to Speed Racer, however... I still don't get it.

  • This is waaaaaay too flashy.  Bring on Cromartie High School!

  • When did Rick Hunter start driving the Mach 5?

  • @jdhoffman1221

    Who is this "Rick Hunter" you speak of? ¯\(ºдಠ)/¯

  • @JLCL01 maybe rick is the ripoff of hikaru from macross

  • @StrikeFreedom986

    No duh, didn't you paid attention to my last comment?

    (Actually, it's more like Hiakru Ichijo being localized as Rick)

  • Pretty cool to see this different series' opening to Space Racer Yamat--errr--

    And what's this thing with pachyderm ass being in BOTH this opening and the old one? :D

  • @pbanta62

    Because it just wouldn't be the same without them. :D lol I laughed because of nostalgia when I saw them in this opening. <3

  • @pbanta62 - let's just say that Speed Racer X has some time travel elements and leave at that. And yes, I was able to finish this series. 

  • this looks cool...but why have i never heard of this...this from the 80s?

  • @KarIgnishaYumi

    It came out in 1997... In fact they released two DVD sets for a whopping $200 a piece. I talked with my father and brother (Speed Racer fans) about buying them, and they looked at me like I'm insane. Told me its a total waste- Which I can't really argue with, so I decided against buying them.

  • @musashix

    I don't really care about what anyone says- I want to see an episode of this. If it does stink, I won't get it. I love Speed Racer enough to know the difference between the remakes that suck and the remakes that don't. But of course, NOTHING can beat the ORIGINAL Mach Go Go Go. :)

  • @musashix that is lame for a price like that. even for me as a speed racer fan...

    and it 1997...compare to 1960

    i have 1960 SR DVD and that did not cost me $200...

  • @musashix

    There is a DVD box of the original Mach GOGOGo (1960's) for $350 on Play Asia.com, check my channel's featured video.

  • @musashix This doesn't surprise me. DVDs in Japan are usually MUCH more expensive than American DVDs.

  • @musashix Still better than that American cartoon they made. God that was an embarrasment

  • @musashix What's the new series' name. They probably have it online.

  • @MissCin101

    The new series has the same title. MACH GO GO GO (1997 year). I finally got the second DVD set with almost all the episodes that never aired in America. It had some really neat ideas, but overall it wasn't as impressive. Racer X wasn't the focus. The final episodes with time travel and aliens were really weird. But the artwork was pretty consistent throughout. There were no Japanese subtitles either, so unless you're fluent in Japanese you cannot understand what's being said.

  • Since when did Speed Racer turn into a mecha anime? Silly costumes, green visors, useless wings and foils on the Mach 5. All the trappings of bad Shounen.

  • @n8dogg87

    I sort of agree. Thats why I haven't much interest in shonen series. Because there are alot of repeats. But, I can't argue against the "mecha-ness" of the new Mach Go because of the fact that it actually has all the functions of what you might call a "racing robot". It can speed, jump, saw off tires, etc. Its no normal car. Maybe the costumes are a bit ridiculous and so are the visors, but not the car so much.

  • Was this released in the US? Where can I watch it?

  • @GojiGuy yes in 2000-2002 it was part of Nickelodeon's GaS Block as Speed Racer X when it started on Nickelodeon [before it got it's own network], I would have loved to have see it now on Nicktoons, right after Avatar...finding them is hard unless they came on DVD

  • i think this opening is when they were time traveling and looking for a certain object.

  • こっちじゃなくて、1期OPの純白の勇気とEDのFly to the Dreamが欲しい

  • love this song...wish there's a longer version ^^

  • There is :)

  • really? do u have it? if yes, can u send it to me? ^^

  • Dic ruined the english dub of this.

  • EPIC.

  • けんたろうお兄さんが歌ってるんだ(^^)

  • tastunoko かっこよす

  • If anyone has this MP3, please contact me! Would love it! (And I don't mean this video's audio ripped)

  • I have a wmv. Want it?

  • thanks to the translation!!

  • Wow!!

    I love this singer

  • Do you have all 37ep. ? I want it if you have, please contact to me.

  • I love anime but the helmet looks like Speed stole it from Macross.

  • the helmet is patterned for the mach 5. Speed steal nothing from that macross thing. Good anime, but still.

  • But, the original Speed Racer was from the 60s, while Macross was fromthe 80s.

  • Comment removed

  • Maha gogogo

  • Wow, speed looks cool

  • ._.'' wow...i remember these series. i was still around 5 years old

  • sweet song but i am pretty sure i just had a seizure from watching the intro

  • love it ^^

  • man this is not the original the mach 5 has no lassers wtf with the lasers man

    watch the original the father of speed he says

    "the mach 5 has no death wepons like guns or lasers"

  • this did not have lasers either thtose were it's saw blades in the beggining they were laser saws.. same thing as the originals but laser generated his was more futuristic..

  • pure awsomeness.

  • MACH GOGOGO!!!!!!(-:

  • The mp3 link doesn't work for me. :(

    I like this opening, but I haven't seen the show yet.

    I have to find it.

  • Jesus isn't this hard to find this song and the original 63' version?

  • OH MY GOD THIS IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE SPEED RACER I GREW UP WITH.

    It's like Speed Racer and G Gundam had a baby- THIS.

  • Woo!

  • wtf wtf wtf this isnt the speed racer i know

  • welcome yourself to the original japanese version and not the copy

  • hey dude this sounds like speed race melinem or what ever the one i know is from 1963 the jap version not being offensive i hate typing was mach gogogo

  • not saying its bad its kinda kool but im more of a historic person

  • that was a mamooth

  • at last the elephants are still in the opening..

  • やっぱり平成版のほうがカッコいいな。僕も幼稚園の頃によく見て­たけど、昭和版に出てきたジャンプ機能が、平成版ではそのまま空­を飛ぶんだからすごいもんだよ。デザインも近未来型でかっこよか­ったですね。

  • Hey, wait, that's funny, Mach go means Mach Five, I never noticed that.

  • Good eye.

    The show's title is actually a triple pun, as Go was also the japanese name of Speed and the third go was simply used like as in "go for it". So the title refers to the car, the driver, and the starting call of a race.

  • -go as a suffix also refers to ships and such vehicles, so it's technically a quadruple pun. :p

  • ha ha nice dude now you know how LOL-ish i felt when i realized that

  • i think just by seeing this newer japanese speed racer intro that THIS newer Speed Racer series is actually loyal to the original. The American speed racer is a bigger abomination than the plot changes of Voltron, censorship of the original Dragon Ball, and original american release of "Nausicaa of the Valley of Wind" (renamed Warriors of the Wind) combined!

  • say whatever u want. the japanese original is still the best, the americans don't know, how to create a timeless anime and sucks. all they can do is just copying from the japanese like power rangers. they tried to make their own speed racer with "The New Adventures of Speed Racer" and failed. on top of that the japanese didn't authorize them to produce this series.

  • Is this song called Junbaku no Energy?

  • No, it's called "Mach Go Go Go 1997."

  • I know that this song is called Mach Go GO GO 1997 but most sites say the opening is Junbaku no energy and Junbaku no energy is in the OP ED single of this anime. So which one is the opening ?

  • Yes it is; while the link may lead you to the TV size version of this song, I bid you good luck finding the full version, BTW, I'll let you know if I DO find it. ;) XD X3

  • did u found the song full version yet

  • I'll do you one better, I have tghe song collection CD at home and on my iPod. XD X3

  • can u email me the song

  • Do you know how to e-mail a song from iTunes; because I don't, I'm afraid. I also lack your e-mail address, so if you could give me that information as well, that'd be great.

  • okay. so you have it all for music. (You suck by the way). But i have the entire original series, and the original video game. (But you still suck). Nice to meet another fan though.

  • There's no need to tell me I suck; I just needed the information on how to e-mail an iTunes song and your email address.

  • speed racer....FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I think I like this than the new hollywood live-action movie

  • Hey,Its your opinion,but it was very faithful to the show in terms of story line,characters,and how they would act. But thats my opinion, you think what you want.

  • yeah I know but, it would have been better if they made it darker and more mature like the live action transformers movie by the way, I hate kid oriented shows/movies, that's why I prefer original jap versions than the adapted ones because, the plot are not dumb and kiddy like

  • It was indeed. XD X3

  • I just love the brass section at 0:45. It's just so touching. This is what makes the Jap theme alot better!

  • i've seen every speed racer opening, and this is by far the best.

  • This is better than the American Speed Racer X opening.

  • I'm sorry my sister was on and used my account.

    Agian I'm sorry.

  • God, Shut up

  • @DreadnokBuzzer either you're a little kid, you're very American, or both.

  • Of all the Speed Racer remakes/sequels, this one is the best one yet, despite a darker tone and some differences with the original, the remake STILL had much more potential than all the others. It's too bad this series was cut short overseas, I remember watching all the episodes before they took it off and I loved it! My only complaint about the American version of the intro was that it was cut WAY too short, shorter than this version AND the original American one.

  • Does anyone know where I can find and/or download the full version of this song?

  • I tried the top link and found nothing of the link you specified.

  • click on the studio section then downloads on right.

  • Thanks. XD ^3^

  • Does anyone know where I can find the original Japanese version of this show?

  • These shows by Tatsunoko shouldn't be butchered. The English version sounds horrible! But the Japanese version is true to what Tatsuo Yoshida did.

    Someone should release an UNCUT (Yes, song and the scenes left intact) version of the series and I'll BE HAPPY!

  • Of course you'll be happy. You're a fucking weeaboo.

    The original Speed Racer was a classic, and before all of these retards came along demanding "uncut" animé everybody was fine with that. A new dub that was more adult-like would be pretty neat, but don't criticize the original. Why do you think the series is so popular in the U.S.A. to begin with? You can thank this "butchered" dub for that.

  • YEAH! Damn right man!

  • HELL YEAH!

  • well i reject your opinion

  • the cheesyness and run on sentences ARE what made it so great

  • Amen! Right to the original theme song!

  • More or less. XD ^3^

  • The best Speed Racer cartoons or the original and x. the new one is so gay.

  • well duh! it's american made!

  • What!!!!!! the american remake of Speed Racer Sucked, they tried to put aliens in the series that was retarded

  • THANK YOU. ugh.. the american version was so shitty, and the opening? *puke* This was awesome if only it had lasted more then a few eps.

  • the link to get the download doesnt work could you please give me a different link by chance? I LOVE this song. Did they ever make a sngle for it or is it ripped the download?

  • how meny speed racer vertion shows are there?

  • The original Mach GoGoGo(Jp)/Speed Racer (US), the New Adventures of Speed Racer (US),

    (Shin) Mach GoGoGo (Jp)/Speed Racer X (US),

    and Speed Racer: The Next Generation (US)... The New Adventures and Next Generation are jokes.

  • Speed Racer and Speed Racer X(ive never seen but the japanese version is good) are good. The american ones are as good as Mafune's crap

  • Sweet,good intro.

  • Driving a rocket-powered jetmarine through a post-apocalyptic wasteland wearing a G-Force uniform while being menaced by jive-talking robots and woolly mammoths? It's almost as though they're saying a cartoon about watching a guy drive around a racetrack for 22 minutes wouldn't be interesting! Catchy tune, though.

  • You mean Gatchaman, not G-Force.

  • Ouch, quite right. I blame Sandy Frank.

  • silence fool!!!

  • けんたろうお兄さぁぁぁん!!!

  • uh. . . slightly confused much my friend?

  • don't like it. they messed around with the original design too much. thank god the new movie has the right idea with mach 4, mach 5, and mach 6.

  • i never knew mach IV was red though

  • it never existed, it was only made for the movie -_-

  • oh..

  • Bwahaha! They took references from the original 60's opening and stuck them in there. Specifically the elephant clip. Cute!

  • Impressive!

  • i would love the MP3

  • catchy

  • Whales aren't THAT big...

  • wow it's speed racer!

  • well if you want a bit more information of the CD Well The Vocal Collection well. its got this song in English too. They Do know about Speed Racer. So. Well in Japan They have Macha Go Go GO and Speed Racer. I do have the CD to prove it

  • i would love to have the dowloads in both lanuages if u don tmind

  • I kind find this version of speed racer anywhere. :[

  • You can find the actual PV on that site the author linked to.

  • i mean the actual series

  • I have that Vocal Collection on CD.I also have very rare kit. the bad news the kit is design badly! it dose not work. It was from Wave ( Japan) its a 200.00 piece of crap.

  • Oh god! Sorry to hear that. lol It would have been awesome though @.@

  • The Vocal CD is great. even the CD noted in English Speed Racer.

    well too bad the kit sucks. One thing about garage kits its very expensive. Its going to work or not going to work. this time DEAD. It went worse.

  • Excuse me but the "asians" did not rip off Speed Racer. This version here is a "newer" 90s version of the original 60s version that they decided to remake. The Americans translated Speed Racer from the 60s Anime (Japanese Animation) "Mach Go, Go Go!" and only broadcasted the English version to American TV about 10 years later.

  • Secondly, you can see the first original opening simply by searching up "Mach Go Go Go" on youtube and proof of its authenticity on wikipedia or another site. (Unfortunately youtube does not allow links.) Again, this version is a remake and the Japanese had the right to.

    So you know, Mach Go means Mach FIVE but also translates as Mach Five, Go Go!

  • mate im joking... should have noted it in the comment... ive seen some of the history and stuff.... so i aint that ignorant. sorry if i pushed the bar... but "mach gogogo" looks cool anyway..

  • n_n; well guess thats why humans have hindsight, na?

  • its amazing how many people i can stir from one comment (6 thumbs down) and they take it seriously like i was attacking their family. i was just saying how the asian industries copy popular brands etc... like nokia copied to nukia... and sony to suny etc..lol speedracer to anime..

  • hhhh i guess its best not to say some things. you know people are going to get angry

  • i agree... but this time i had to say something...

  • becuase speed racer or originally called mach go go go is japanese and made by japanese nothing was copied, people get made when you speak before you look don't take it personal, but american has shared technology and recieves the revenue forn it nukia is american owned japanese managed. Domo arigato,

  • yeh i know america shares heaps a tech... guess i was wrong, thank for correction. :)

  • well i wasnt one of the 6

  • This is awsome!

  • does anyone have this song so i can download it?

  • compare the theme to the speed racer and my childhood is revived(yes i know they are the same show)

  • Mach Go Go Go is SUCH an awesome show! Hahaha. He sounds SOOOOO enthusiastic in this song! XD This song makes me SOOOO happy!

  • SO FREAKING AWESOME!

  • XDDD hooo, I love it

  • Awesome!

  • natsukashii

  • visisisisisi....creo que lo vi en cartoonnetwork

  • who sings this song?

  • Apparently, Michiru Oshima (ミチル大島)

  • I hope the movie's style is based on this series rather than the original...

  • is this the same maha moe howard speaks about?

  • Haha, no seriously, it means "Mach"

  • all the epilectic flashing lights are juts awesome! lol

  • I like the "big band" feel to the music better too...but "Racer X" in a cape ROCKS!!
