Taira Isao is a Japanese singer well-known for his contribution to a number of anime songs. Famously, he may be heard within the openings to Area Runaway Ideon, Muteki Robo Daiohja, and Galactic Cyclone Braiger. And over the previous three years, Taira’s additionally been operating a small Youtube channel.
The channel is known as Taira Isao’s Uta Uta Uta [that’s “song” written three different ways), and the man uploads his covers of old Japanese music. Taira’s stated goal is to share songs from history, and even give a little background on each one to spread knowledge.
Some examples:
“Momiji” (1911)
“Hana no Machi” (1947)
“Princess Mononoke” (1997, from the film)
As of this submit, Taira has lower than 2,000 subscribers. It’s wild to me, the truth that this individual with this ultra-recognizable voice from anime would have this humble Youtube presence on the age of 71.
It’d be nice if he had extra subscribers, however I form of like that his channel is comparatively small. There’s one thing charming about all this, particularly as a result of he’s attempting to attract consideration to nice (non-anime) music from yesteryear.
