This is still the best arrangement of Afro Lupin '68 I know of. The Yoshihide mix is rougher, but none's tougher and more rad than this baby here. Charlie Kosei wins every time.
Description: 1971 Opening #2 Music by: Takeo Yamashita Sung by: Charlie Kosei P38! Walther Machine cries, the Walther P38! The Walther Machine cries! Walther Lupin the Third, go, man Groovy guy You gotta go, man You got to smile Feel it Get angry! Keep cool, man Gotta smile! And you feel it You got to get angry Cool, cool, man Lupin the Third, go go Go Lupin the Third, Lupin the Third, Lupin the Third!
Yuji Ohno and his version of Lupin the Third is at my opinion much better. So the kind-hearted, heroic and brave but comedic version of Lupin the Third like in Part 2, 4 or 5 is much better than the original.
@@johannschwarz5293Not “much better,” just different. Takeo Yamashita’s score gives the show more of a spaghetti western vibe compared to Yuji Ohno’s Brazilian-inspired jazz and bossa nova. Part 1 Lupin can be just as cold-hearted as he can be kind-hearted, occasionally heroic, usually brave, and always finding time to be comedic where appropriate. You don’t know if he’s going to be your friend or if he’s going to kill you, which adds to the mystique and unpredictably that makes the character so fascinating, much like Sean Connery’s James Bond, so comparing Part 1 Lupin to later interpretations is comparing apples and oranges, or Connery and Moore. Besides, that’s totally not what the OP asked.
@@imfsresidentotaku9699 Until I learned that all the original masters of the 1971 soundtrack were lost a long time ago, I'd thought this was the version heard in the show. It sure SOUNDS like it. I can't hear any differences. I've heard a couple of other arrangements of this that do sound distinct from what's heard on screen, but this sounds exactly like it to me.
