Japan Animation song Makers Project. As their name suggests, they often make songs for various anime and even video games, especially those featuring Humongous Mecha. Some of the most Hot Blooded musicians in the UNIVERSE solo, let alone together.
This troper would like add "Stormbringer", the opening of Kotetsushin Jeeg and the insert song "Dead Or Alive" from episode 12, that accompanies perhaps the most badass moment in the entire series. "T-t-t-TWO JEEGS!?"
Kanjite Knight, the opening of Shin Mazinger is actually by a band called "ULTIMATE LAZY", which is basically everyone from JAM Project plus several other legendary vocalists... because it was the only way to make the group more Hot Blooded and awesome.
On his own, Hironobu Kageyama tends to create EXTREMELY badass theme music for any anime he's involved with, part of the reason he's the current leader of JAM Project Heats, the second opening from Shin Getter Robo - The World's Final Day is quite possibly one of the ones that puts him at number one in many fans' hearts.
This troper knows most others consider it a lesser work of his, but always feels like pumping his fist in the air triumphantly when listening to Super Survivor.
Did you know Kageyama also sung "Eye of the Tiger" in the Rocky III Japanese dub? Awesome squared!
No he didn't. This Troper even went as far as importing the Japanese DVD to find the song. It doesn't exist.
Then why does Youtube have videos of it?
Link or never happened.
Kageyama's music from MD Geist is the only reason why the movie is remotely watchable.
Additional proof that JAM Project's members are made of win and awesome in their own right: Yoshiki Fukuyama's contribution to Busou Renkin... "MAKKA NA CHIKAI!"
Yoshiki Fukuyama is also the singing voice of one Nekki Basara, that's right, that means that this guy is also the front man for a band known as Fire Bomber.
Don't forget Masami Okui, who can hold her own among the rest of the boys: there's a reason why Revolutionary Girl Utena's Rinbu - Revolution is a staple at most anime song concerts. She's also the producer of the annual Animelo Summer Live concerts (the biggest anime theme song concert in Japan), which are basically an excuse to get as many of the songs on this page as possible together in one concert, short of having the universe collapsing into a singularity of awesome.
To wit: Hironobu Kageyama singing Cha-La from Dragon Ball Z, Yoshiki Fukuyama singing (and playing guitar!) Planet Dance from Macross7, Hiroshi Kitadano singing We Are from One Piece and Masaaki Endoh singing Yuusha-oh Tanjyo from GaoGaiGar. That sound is your cerebral cortex melting.
"Ima Ga Sono Toki Da", the first theme to Getter Robo Armageddon by the damn-near legendary Ichiro Mizuki (co-founder of JAM Project). It has an old-school "Imperial Japanese Army March" that makes it one of the few songs that you can perform While dressed like M. Bison.
See also the theme from Mazinkaiser[1], played whenever Kouji was about to deliver a massive beatdown.
"Rescue Fire". Iīm sorry if I canīt make any witty remark for it, but too much awesomness will do this to your brain.
