It is the historic opening theme of the old anime series “Attack No. 1” (Tōei Dōga, 1968-70), the first sport konjō anime series focussing on volleyball and on female athletes. It was drawn from a manga by Chikako Urano, directly inspired from the victory of the Japanese female volleyball team at the Tokyo 1964 Olympic games. (“Sport konjō”, shortened as spokon, means 'tenaciousness in sports', and it is a specific narrative genre of manga and anime).
Head coach Daimatsu is believed to have imposed rigorous training on female players with a victory supremacy principle. If he had modern doping technology, do you think he would have used it on his athletes?
Great discussion. What is the song in the film clip?
