I worked with a guy who made me an entire CD with nothing but Outlaw Star music on it, (with Family Guy skits in between tracks). One of the best mix CD's I've ever had. To this day I thank him for such a gift, although I haven't seen him in years. We worked together in Corporate Security for Allied/Barton at the State Street Building, 1 Lincoln St. in downtown Boston. 3rd shift! Memories.
I close my eyes listening to this song takes me back to when I was a kid when I would stay up watching the midnight run on Toonami not having to worry bout anything besides being caught cuz it was passed my bedtime Lololololol
I always felt a sad longing during the credits, the ambience of the music with the cool imagery; knowing I'll never get to see those places..I know I can't be the only one right?
I feel that bro. When I feel that way I'll take some acid and watch the show, I never actually visited the places but I did feel like I was there with them. I'll tell you from the outset though cause no1 told me, some of the stuff in that show is scary on a tab, like what happened to Harry; just thinking about that is.....woah. Never be afraid to press skip.
Sitting here with tears, thinking about how amazing life was when I was a child/teen. Sitting here stuck in the feeling that there is no possible way to go back in time and avoid some of the experiences I came to know, the pain that was unavoidable. For me, life is like a never ending, black abyss. I feel trapped and caged. Life is like a video game that I did not opt to take part in. There is no escape.
+Fayt Sypher Thank you very much, my friend :) I really appreciate your comment. Funny enough, things are looking much better now. I'm enjoying life more and more. I'm more focused on my goals now and can see the light at the end of the tunnel much more clearly. Yeah, Outlaw Star is amazing. I also have some of Akino Arai's beautiful music that I bought from iTunes. I hope everything is working out for you as well :)
This was my favorite ending for Outlaw Star. After watching an epic space adventure, this song always felt like the perfect way to cap it off with a nice calming song.
The episode when the young boy was supposed to meet that girl but the team ended up engaging her in battle and unknowingly killed her really hit hard when this song played right after.
I grew up during that time too. I get the nostalgia. I understand wanting to go back. But we need to remember our memories are rose colored. While it'd be beyond nice to visit, in the present, as long as we're still alive we have the ability to change our present to whatever we desire, and create new memories. We're also blessed we have the ability to relive the art that helped capture that time freely now, in the age of the Internet, and share it with new people we love.
Bruh I’ll never leave alone how enchanting and calming the singers voice sounds alone, even with that reverb, especially when she hits that high note during the hook.
Crazy to see people talking about the memories it brings back and how old this all feels to them, and then I see the comment's age --11 years ago. 34 years old as of the time writing this (2023), anime and music like this were literally a major part of my "coming of age" and will never be forgotten.
I’m sitting here with my 10 year old listening to this and the nostalgia begins...in my adult years I’ve grown out of watching anime. It’s amazing how traits can carry on to our children without us even introducing them to some things. One day I found my daughter watching anime and without guiding her she loves it. ALL ON HER OWN! People always say she looks just like me but it’s amazing how the similarities don’t stop with appearance. She pushes me to get back to drawing and watching anime...I wish she could experience the way things were back when I was a child...much better times...
What a blast from the past. I remember staying up late just to to watch Outlaw Star, then falling asleep to the sound of this dreamy end theme ♥. I really miss those nights.
Shoutout to everyone here from 2020. Stay strong, yes it was amazing to have experienced this beautiful song growing up. Pass it on!!! And remember that just like remembering this song, we shape and inspire others and give memories. Moments in passing forever engraved in our hearts and minds.
Anime was my savior when I had no friends growing up and now I’m surrounded by people of likeness and interest. Anime saved me and brought me friends later in life. Especially the music.
This ending marked the moment when Outlaw Star really began to get better. There was moments the first time they flew away in the Outlaw Star for the first time without Hilda to guide them and during the big race, but the fight with the crooks pretending to be terrorists was really the moment when the series really came together.
Absolutely beautiful i never tire of this song no matter how many times i listen to it I love how they paired this song with the scenary of the moon kingdom that was intelligent thinking outlawstar kicked serious ass a anime I can watch over and over despite it being from the 90's but then again weren't the 90's anime friken A
I miss coming home from school to watch Outlaw Star, Tenchi Muyo and DBZ (many more of course). This ending really hits that nostalgia spot. Watching the last episode on a Saturday of all days was astronomical back then.
This was one of those songs, that you hear when you are young and that gets caught in your mind. A good number of years (I'd say damn near a decade) this song would occasionally pop up in my head, just bits and pieces. I had no idea what it was from, until that magical night the old Toonami came back.
This was one of my favorite anime's from the Cartoon Network Toonami years;next to Cowboy Bebop. I never cared to much for the first ending song from Outlaw Star. It was a tad bit slow for me. The 2nd ending(this one) was always my favorite. This song is so beautiful. Light and fluffy like a cloud and even that doesn't describe its beauty.
I never seen any episodes of Outlaw star, but for some odd reason whenever I'd watch Toonami I'd always catch the end credits and would hear this song.
A series I grew up with on those late nights,with loveable characters,captivating storyline,and ending songs that will never leave me for the many years I will live.If I had one series to own back in the day,it would be Outlaw Star
Yes, it's the Moon Kingdom from Sailor Moon. I find that awesome putting a picture from Sailor Moon and using the second ending theme from Outlaw Star as a good music video.
Was my gateway into the anime world these songs it’s kinda cool and sad at the same time cause I was in and out of relationships around the time I guess it is a reminder of my past
the most beautiful song ever written, melodically and lyrically. A girl wishes that the moon in her heart will always watch over and protect her lover. That kind of vibe is what I feel for my bf. Totally befits such a great anime, wonderful song
The first ending had this tragic, grander sound to it- making it bittersweet. This one is calm with some intertwined beats, very relaxing and mature, like you've finally come a long way and have grown up.
There's something to be said for a song that drives you to tears, no matter how many times you listen to it. Had I not known of Outlaw Star, and were to somehow still come upon this song, its melody, rhythm, and overall presence would be just as powerful. Thankfully, I have the memories of Gene, Jim, Aisha, Melfina, and Suzuka to sweeten the experience that much more. Cheers to this incredible anime, and all of the experiences that come with it, enriched by its divine music.
This has long been part of the playlist I listen to as I reminisce about my favourite anime convention after it's over, go through all the photos I took and try not to cry as I realize it'll be another year til the next one. Even just as part of the show, this was something I became attached to. There's something so powerfully emotional about this song.
Was just watching spice and wolf vol 2 when i connected the dots on who the coice of the theme song was.. Truly fantastic voice and art direction from Akino Arai
such a beautiful song.... when i first listen to this song it made me cry and i would wait till the end of the show turn up my tv and sing it. ahh memories ^_^
I only just learned the name of the singer, been rocking Outlaw Star avatars for most of my life. First time hearing the full version as well. Good stuff, great stuff.
Man.. I have to listen to this song at least once a day. Always loved this song. I remember having this song burned to my favorite anime cd back in the late 90s. I use to listen to it at the bus stop before heading to highschool. Good Memories...
This is probably going to sound really cheezy, but the last time my girlfriend was over at my place, we had a romantic dinner and afterwards we proceeded to slow dance to this song.
We did live in the best anime timeline. The days of free anime & Toonami on Saturday nights will never return. But, the memories of shows like Outlaw Star will keep those days alive beyond our years......Thank God!! 🫡🥲
I was out photographing the Super Blue Blood Moon early this morning, and I suddenly remembered this song. It's been so many years since Midnight Run. I don't know where the time went...
I cant believe it's been 21 years...seriously feels like it was just yesterday I had just finished watching the wrestling episode with Aisha and hearing this music pop up... man... what the hell happened to time
To be completely honest......this is the best song to poop to. Think I'm crazy? well try it! I've listened to this song almost every time I'm on the throne since 2002! #OutlawStar
As wonderful as the past may seem now, there may be moments in your present life you wish you could live again. Never forget to live in the present. Its still the same world, after all.
When I think of OS my mind defaults to Hiro no tsuki and I love it. But hearing this instantly sent me back to those old nights doing homework on the floor while watching toonami.
When I hear this I feel like I'd give anything for it to be the year 2000 again, 13 again watching Toonami on my little 17-inch TV in my bedroom. This song is a constant reminder of all that once was that is sadly no more. . .
+Nostalgic_Chaos .... man, I'm having those same exact feelings as I listen to this.... I rewatched Outlaw Star about 2 weeks ago and when it got to this ending, I was in a trance.... it was crazy yet peaceful.
High school '99, - '03. Adult swim was something to truly enjoy back then. Hearing this takes me back to those better days.
Me too I used to love watching Toonami during elementary school days and this song is phenomenal
Yes
98-02 for me. Takes me all the way back
Yes 👍 class of 03. This gives me so much nostalgia
100%
I worked with a guy who made me an entire CD with nothing but Outlaw Star music on it, (with Family Guy skits in between tracks). One of the best mix CD's I've ever had. To this day I thank him for such a gift, although I haven't seen him in years.

I'm a current AUS employee and it warms my heart to know that I'm not the only one Allied/Barton paid to enjoy OLS. 😂
@@TaintedBlood30
😂 Awesome!
Security life ^^ The night is alive
It's a lonely world when this one of your favorite songs ever.
Mm-hmm
well said.
Beautiful loneliness
So true
Nah means you had a great life 😊
I close my eyes listening to this song takes me back to when I was a kid when I would stay up watching the midnight run on Toonami not having to worry bout anything besides being caught cuz it was passed my bedtime Lololololol
exact same story for me dude. My bro and I did the same, those were good days!!!
yesss exactly! this song brings an immediate feeling of calmness.
same for me as well!
***** yeah, same here... god I really miss those times... :'(
***** same, i wish things were as creative as they were back in the day.....sad how things have grown to be now....
Commenting again 4 years later. Thank you for uploading this. 28 years old and this will forever ring in my heart.
I always felt a sad longing during the credits, the ambience of the music with the cool imagery; knowing I'll never get to see those places..I know I can't be the only one right?
+deslacooda Amen, and the songs sound much better in Japanese than they do in English. I don't understand a word, but it just flows better.
You were not alone .
You are not the only one
I feel that bro. When I feel that way I'll take some acid and watch the show, I never actually visited the places but I did feel like I was there with them.
I'll tell you from the outset though cause no1 told me, some of the stuff in that show is scary on a tab, like what happened to Harry; just thinking about that is.....woah.
Never be afraid to press skip.
I know EXACTLY what you mean. You would wish you could visit those lands and worlds while the music played.
Sitting here with tears, thinking about how amazing life was when I was a child/teen. Sitting here stuck in the feeling that there is no possible way to go back in time and avoid some of the experiences I came to know, the pain that was unavoidable. For me, life is like a never ending, black abyss. I feel trapped and caged. Life is like a video game that I did not opt to take part in. There is no escape.
I know that feeling man.
Mary Peterson Thanks. I appreciate that.

+Nostalgic_Chaos tears though bro? I am happy feeling the nostalgia but not Tears lol
+Nostalgic_Chaos I see, that's deep bro.
This was my favorite ending for Outlaw Star. After watching an epic space adventure, this song always felt like the perfect way to cap it off with a nice calming song.
I think the other song was slightly better, and this should have been the first ending, with the first being the second.
The episode when the young boy was supposed to meet that girl but the team ended up engaging her in battle and unknowingly killed her really hit hard when this song played right after.
Both endings are preformed by the same artist.
@@DIEGhostfish I agree😊
It was beautiful hearing this song again on Toonami. Best night ever.
This song feels like a dream
I like this comparison ^^
❤
I grew up during that time too. I get the nostalgia. I understand wanting to go back. But we need to remember our memories are rose colored.

A boy has the right to dream...
for those endless possibilities...
are stretched out before him.
GUNDAMURX73 toonami man
one of My favorite parts was this convo lol
"Is this reality?"
"No, this is Data"
"Like the cyber web?"
lol
i like pie
This song brings back memories of the old toonami.
Really
Ellen Romanillos sure did I was a kid when this came on.
Oh! Really ..ok
Yeah really dude what your problem us 90 kids need our time bro
Adult swim too
Bruh I’ll never leave alone how enchanting and calming the singers voice sounds alone, even with that reverb, especially when she hits that high note during the hook.
The outro is a huge nostalgia slap. The transition there always gives me chills
Crazy to see people talking about the memories it brings back and how old this all feels to them, and then I see the comment's age --11 years ago.

Just want to say thank you to Toonami for exposing me to so many wonderful anime back in 2001-2005
Elementary school with this and Cowboy bebop changed me forever in the 90s. Thanks Adult swim for making us bigger kids with the big kids cartoons.
The feels from this song I heard so much in my youth. Time is only moving forward, I wish I could relive those days.
Me too. Exact thoughts.
Found this whole series at best buy 6 years ago best damn 40 bucks i spent to relive some of my old memories of the older toonami
Lucky you!
The bluray is under 30 dollars on Amazon
hearing this gem in 2021, man has the time passed...
If I ever get married, definitely want this as my wedding song. The lyrics are so beautiful.
So much memories I used to love this as a kid. Wish I can go back into the late 90s and early 2000s sometimes.
I miss that anime so much, beautiful music.
This song sounds like it's from a future where everything is all at peace.
Ikr?! And as chaotic as times were back then as well with 9/11 and the Iraq War, everything else then seemed right. I terribly miss those days now.
Absolutely beautiful i never tire of this song no matter how many times i listen to it I love how they paired this song with the scenary of the moon kingdom that was intelligent thinking outlawstar kicked serious ass a anime I can watch over and over despite it being from the 90's but then again weren't the 90's anime friken A
Outlaw Star and Gundam Wing on Toonami on the evenings was the shit kids these days don't know whats up.
+Miguel Rivas They got "Uncle Grandpa" lol
I remember at first it started on Adult swim with Bebop and trigun :D
There is a reason why most kids now a days watch anime and youtubers instead of Cartoon Network...
@@josephcittadino6541 That's facts. CN really died and sold out.
++++ Toonami was the best, i miss that
Thank you who ever you are. I've missed this song greatly. I love it so deeply. So I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
its dope that most of us are men and not confined in our masculinity to appreciate the song
I don’t usually listen to stuff like this, I’m more into Alternative Rock but this song is just too good to ignore
They have nothing to do with each other. this is music
I enjoy anime music, and I've been listening to Japanese city pop on a near-daily basis for the past couple of years now.
I always listen to anime openings and endings and this one stays in rotation
Ahhh the good ole times🥹
this song brings back more memories of my toonami child hood than i could ever ask for. It brings a tear to my eyes.
You and me both.
+Elijah Shiver same here I even have the whole Outlaw Star series on DVD
Here here!
Same here gosh i miss old school anime :D thank heavens toonami is back.
Kerri Hauff YES! The nostalgia everytime I hear these songs is strong! These anime took me on an adventure when I was younger!
Reminds me of cold winter nights and the moon shining making everything look blue, just my thought to this song
I miss coming home from school to watch Outlaw Star, Tenchi Muyo and DBZ (many more of course). This ending really hits that nostalgia spot.
Watching the last episode on a Saturday of all days was astronomical back then.
...my goodness...where is the time going??
I actually went to an Arai Akino concert back in 2012 while I was in Japan and got to experience her sing it live. I'll never forget it.
This was one of those songs, that you hear when you are young and that gets caught in your mind. A good number of years (I'd say damn near a decade) this song would occasionally pop up in my head, just bits and pieces. I had no idea what it was from, until that magical night the old Toonami came back.
The difference between this song and the tone of the show is what makes it so good.

Aria Briar back then,I had a crush on Gene Starwind XD lol
and I thought Melfina was the most beautiful character ever.Idk why XD
+Aria Briar We know... same here
+Aria Briar it's cause she was and to me still is really. Funny the age of this show, yet it has prettier animation than most of the new animes.
Yes, it's the Moon Kingdom from Sailor Moon. I find that awesome putting a picture from Sailor Moon and using the second ending theme from Outlaw Star as a good music video.

thanks for the video

Not much of an anime fan but this takes me back.
Outlaw Star was so underrated.
Oh my Gods, it's still here! 10 years later!

Even just as part of the show, this was something I became attached to. There's something so powerfully emotional about this song.
They really don't make them how they use to...
I will miss this forever ❤
Yep, now Japan is dismissing its traditions with anime and the anime industry is now super corrupt, like everything else. I miss the old days.
one word "beautiful"
was not even checking the anime but for some reason hypnotized by the ending and its vibes
Remember watching this show after coming home from school on toonami. Those were the days
Was just watching spice and wolf vol 2 when i connected the dots on who the coice of the theme song was.. Truly fantastic voice and art direction from Akino Arai
One of my favorite anime ever loved watching this series as a kid back in 2001 when it premiered on toonami so happy to have it in my collection
Memories of when times as a kid were golden ..no iphones smart phones etc....im getting teary eyed...🙁🙁🙁
This song will always be a masterpiece. It always fills me with peace and wonder, and if it was possible I would marry her voice.
Out of nowhere this song jumped into my head last night after having not heard it for over 20 years (I'm old lol)
Rewatch n on Hulu cuz of your comment 😅
such a beautiful song.... when i first listen to this song it made me cry and i would wait till the end of the show turn up my tv and sing it. ahh memories ^_^
Shes so soothing i love her.
Man Outlaw Star was my show!!! OMG I want to be a kid again. 😢
Brave enough of Cartoon Network to keep the original Japanese outro songs when the anime first aired back in 2001.
The English translation makes me picture of someone's final journey into Heaven.
Man this takes me back and makes me remember what it felt like as a kid watching the credits wishing I could see those places!
nostalgic young buck late night watching adult swim and samurai champloo :)
I only just learned the name of the singer, been rocking Outlaw Star avatars for most of my life. First time hearing the full version as well. Good stuff, great stuff.
Akino Arai....Such a lovely voice.
Man.. I have to listen to this song at least once a day. Always loved this song. I remember having this song burned to my favorite anime cd back in the late 90s. I use to listen to it at the bus stop before heading to highschool. Good Memories...
I was just thinking the same thing. I swear this song touches my soul. SOOO much better then the 1st ending.
This is probably going to sound really cheezy, but the last time my girlfriend was over at my place, we had a romantic dinner and afterwards we proceeded to slow dance to this song.
I salute you on that I hope you're still together.
MrJLov13 That doesn't sound cheezy at all!! ^_^
MrJLov13 Nice comment, man. Are you guys still together?
Nostalgic_Chaos As a matter of fact we are still together. We're even closer now than ever before.
MrJLov13 Yay! :D
That is awesome, mate! Keep going strong! I wish you both all the happiness that this planet has to offer :)
Best wishes.
2021 homies, may this banger never die
I feel very nostalgic when I listen to this song it got me reminiscing about when I was young I miss the good old days
We did live in the best anime timeline. The days of free anime & Toonami on Saturday nights will never return. But, the memories of shows like Outlaw Star will keep those days alive beyond our years......Thank God!! 🫡🥲
Despite not having the same emotional weight as Hiru no Tsuki, this song is beautiful and iconic.
Brings back a LOT of good memories! Thanks a million for the upload!!! :D
I was out photographing the Super Blue Blood Moon early this morning, and I suddenly remembered this song. It's been so many years since Midnight Run. I don't know where the time went...
Seeing the upload date and then looking at comments that are now 10+ years old makes me wish I could relive those good days
finally it's back on.; i didn't watch the whole anime but i was so drawn to it just to listen to this ending
I just watched the whole Anime. was SOOO good!
I cant believe it's been 21 years...seriously feels like it was just yesterday I had just finished watching the wrestling episode with Aisha and hearing this music pop up... man... what the hell happened to time
To be completely honest......this is the best song to poop to. Think I'm crazy? well try it! I've listened to this song almost every time I'm on the throne since 2002! #OutlawStar
i was thinking along the lines of an epic make out session but... to each their own
love the hell out of this song!!
I’m so happy this song is on UA-cam again
carajoo que temonnnn despues de tantoss años me facinaa
As wonderful as the past may seem now, there may be moments in your present life you wish you could live again. Never forget to live in the present. Its still the same world, after all.
+Matthew Sullivan A time before everyone had a cellphones was a different world.
Wise words. Thank you ❤❤

This will be my first time listening to the full version, let this begin.
Was good, re listening to it now. haha
Nostalgic
she has a beautiful sound too her.
omg the feels
:'( i'll take some
+Nostalgic_Chaos .... man, I'm having those same exact feelings as I listen to this.... I rewatched Outlaw Star about 2 weeks ago and when it got to this ending, I was in a trance.... it was crazy yet peaceful.
Hearing it in 2022 takes me back to a simpler time
