notes: 'Special album released to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the broadcast
  of "Astro Boy", the first Japanese TV anime. Based on the sound sources of Mushi
  Production and Asahi Sonorama, it comes with theme songs,  insert songs, background
  music and mini dramas. The theme songs include the full-length originals, different
  intros, different arrangements, instrumentals, and shortened versions for TV, totaling
  30 tracks.

  Mushi Pro TRACKS [01~23]

  Asahi Sonorama TRACKS [24~29]

  BONUS TRACK [30]

  Vocals:

  Kamitakada Shounen Gasshoudan (01~03,06,24,26,28)

  Musical Academy (29)

  Performer: Asahi Sonorama Orchestra (25,27)

  Lyricist: Shuntaro Tanikawa (01~03,06,24,26,28,29)

  Composer: Tatsuo Takai

  [01~04] recorded from two music tapes left behind by Mushi Production: "Mushi Production
  TV Theme" (A tape) and "Astro Boy Theme" (B tape).

  01,02 are the full-length theme songs, but 02 is an irregular version with a slightly
  shorter interlude between the second and third verses. 03 is an unusual version
  that goes from a whistling march to a full-length theme song. 04 was credited as
  karaoke on the tape, but it is a TV-sized instrumental. However, there is no record
  of it being used in the main feature. (01,04 from A tape, 02,03 from B tape)

  [05~07] from tapes

  At first, from the airing until around October, the opening theme was an instrumental
  (05), but when it comes to opening, the only one that really stands out is the classic
  "Astro Boy''s Song. The one recorded here is a later recording, and an earlier recording
  (which has a slightly weaker rhythm) has not been found. (07) is the same ending
  as the opening theme.

  [08~21] Due there are not many detailed documents left, there are many unknown and
  suspicious points such as the singers names, and some of the sound sources may be
  difficult to listen to. Tracks titles are tentative given for this album.

  These are the "in-story songs" sung in the main story, in some cases, the songs
  are sung by the actors playing those roles. Also, in many cases, the scriptwriter
  or director of the episode writes the lyrics, so these are listed below for reference.

  (08) from episode 5 (director: Osamu Tezuka), it is sung by the minions of Alibaba,
  the leader of a gang of thieves. Although the script states "sung by a chorus group"
  it was actually performed by Shiro Kuno and others

  (09) from episode 24 (director: Gisaburo Sugii). It is sung by robots from the undersea
  kingdom. Performed by 香山裕 and others.

  (10) from episode 32, the first one is a roar of protest from the Hot Dog Corps,
  a group of robots with transplanted dog brains (director: Shuji Konno).

  (11) from episode 87, sung by Midas, a servant of Princess Lahn of the planet Chaos
  (scripter: Kahei No, director: Wataru Sawa). Midas is sung by Kazuo Kumakura, and
  the unscrupulous investigator Douki, who appears later in the film, is performed
  by 城所英二.

  (12) from episode 100 (scripter: Aritsune Toyoda, director: Chikao Katsui), sung
  by child-rearing Robot Robot House, invented by roboticist Dr. Iezo, performed by
  Michiyo Azusa.

  (13) from episode 107 (scripter: Masaki Tsuji, director: Shinji Nagashima), sung
  by humans who have been conquered by metal humans.

  (14) from episode 115 (scripter: Kahei No, director: Atsuhito Takagi), sung by a
  group of machines at the Mint Bureau who are given a day''s rest.

  (15) from episode 136 (scripter: 平見修二, director: Hideo Nishimaki), sung by the demolition
  duo Red and Tiger, who were sent by the World Anti-Robot Alliance.

  (16) from episode 141 (scripter: Kahei No, director: Hideo Nishimaki), sung by children
  to the accompaniment of March, the engineer of the nuclear locomotive March, playing
  piano.

  (17) from episode 143 (scripter: Arashi Ishizu, director: Osamu Dezaki), sung by
  Eagle Gang in which a conflict rages between the human boys "Eagle Gang" and the
  boy robots "Red Hawk Gang"

  (18) from episode 161 (scripter: Arashi Ishizu, director: 永樹凡人), a lullaby that
  invites dreams and a song to collect dream reception fees were born from a battle
  between space broadcasting stations that transmit "dreams" through mysterious radio
  waves.

  (19) from episode 165 (scripter: Arashi Ishizu, director: Minoru Okazaki), song
  that welcomes visitors to Family Kingdom, where a baby robot contest is being held.

  (20) from episode 170 (scripter: Arashi Ishizu, director: Mitsuo Kaminashi), sung
  by the two robot princesses of Palace Kingdom, who are fighting in the northern
  and southern mansions.

  (21) from episode 177 (scripter, director: 片岡忠三), sung by the robot fund manager
  in the country of Hellenia, which is in financial difficulty due to the construction
  of the world''s largest robot, the Golem.

  [22,23] instrumental tracks

  (22) collection of theme song arrangements. The first track includes a flight sound
  effect, the second is a music box-style flight, the third is a waltz, and the fourth
  is an electric sound that reflects the era. The fifth track is said to be the opening
  theme of the animated feature film "Astro Boy: Hero of Space," which was released
  by Nikkatsu on July 26, 1964. However, on the video already released, it is recorded
  as the opening theme of episode 56.

  (23) collection of memorable BGM. The first song is the familiar "Robot March" that
  has been used frequently since episode 1. The second song is the "Earth Defense
  Force Theme" from episode 56. The third song is the "Starlight Fairy" theme from
  episode 38. The fourth song is the "Blue Knight" theme from episodes 179 and 180.
  The fifth song, a march, and the sixth song, a waltz, were played in the scene with
  the dictator Hiller in episode 8.
