With so many Final Yamato albums in the mix, creating a definitive track listing is a very complex task. With over 60 individual tracks to deal with, sorting them out is a major undertaking. But, with all the necessary puzzle pieces in one place, the Final Yamato music mountain can be conquered.
Yamato had always been made with music at its heart. Most other movies and TV shows basically treated music as an afterthought, something to be added at the end of the process. Yamato went the other way, making music an integral part of the process from the earliest stage. And no film generated more music than Final Yamato
Final Yamato set a new record when its first video release arrived before the film itself finished its first run in theaters, and that was only the beginning. When a revised 70mm director’s cut followed in late 1983, it kicked off a long sequence of video releases accompanied by increasingly unique packaging.
