Might as well show y'all a track from that record I mentioned before. Sung by Kei Tomiyama himself, more well known as the voice of Susumu Kodai in Space Battleship Yamato and the narrator in the Time Bokan series, but to me will always be the voice of Tochiro Oyama. 💖🥺💖

Welcome to the second and last trailer post of this week. Seven Japanese films have been included. There is another film, a Cinema Kabuki screening but I’m not covering that. The previous trailer post detailed two films released on January 02nd, both documentaries but very different in terms of the subject matter. There was also an indie film and a major feature debut. I also published my Top…

Japanese battleships Yamato (left; orange) and Musashi (right; magenta). These are my original designs for them:

And these are their new, updated forms!

Here are the changes in detail:

-Their armor has a lot more detail now, including the little ties which I believe keep the pieces together. This on its own did wonders for their aesthetic and made the armor look more distinctly samurai whereas before some elements could have easily been mistaken for European plate armor.

-I added a few details to their helmets here. They’re meant to look like the top of the ships’ masts, and as such the radar structures are carried over from the original design, but now they also have some further detailing on top as well. They also feature the kamon design I made for the Yamato class, as real samurai helmets often have similar adornments (datemono) meant to easily identify what group a warrior belongs to.

-They have swords now! Specifically, they’re tachi, a common type of samurai sword, and their design is specifically based on the famous Dojigiri.

-Their guns are no longer based on shotguns and are instead inspired by the Type 99 rifle; you can see the full gun design here. They wear their guns on their backs now as a reference to how real samurai would wear large swords that way - that must make it a real hassle to get through doorways!

-Yamato has a mask now too! They match, although Yamato polishes hers so it’s shinier (just like her armor is in general, although I toned that down compared to the original).

-For the ships themselves, I made them a bit beefier than they were before, as I previously thought they’d come out looking too skinny and frail to fight effectively and wield those huge guns. I also edited their facial features a bit for a more unique, mature look than they had before (but of course Yamato still has a side-eye that could put a corgi to shame).

So, apparently, Kei Tomiyama had a music single of some sort in 1979 with two music tracks. One of the voices of my f/o (and my favorite va of his at that) could actually sing??

I'm... almost too nervous to actually listen to it. One of the songs did end up on youtube.... I don't think my heart can take it. o//.//o

The reason why some people like myself love old school models like RX-78-2 Gundam, VF-1 Valkyrie and Space Battleship Yamato is because they've been weathered by life, seen countless battles and been through a lot but they keep on fighting the good fight.
