The game's intro song is called "Annet Futatabi" (Annet, Once Again). The arranger is Shinji Tamura, but there is no specific vocal credit for the song in the game's credits at all. Ácido Cinza found this page on Moby Games, which has Tomoko Nakajima listed as providing the lyrics. However, he also found that a Japanese site had Yūko Minaguchi listed as the singer for the intro (Yūko voices Annet in the game), so we're not 100% certain who exactly sang this song. The song has never been released on CD either, which doesn't help matters.

Anyway, the sequence features a whole bunch of art specifically used just for the intro, which is good enough reason for me to have this page up. popfan95b provided me the lyrics in Japanese, once in Romaji and an English translation:


Free あなたは 風さえ つかむ 術を知ってる

Free, anata wa. Kaze sae tsukamu, sube wo shitteru

(Free, you know the art of seizing even the wind)



Fly 飛ばして 心をもっと もっと遠くへ

Fly, tobashite. Kokoro wo motto, motto tooku e

(Fly, send your heart soaring further and further away)



広い宇宙の中で 新たな生命(いのち)今も 誕生(うま)れていることでしょう きっと

Hiroi, uchuu no naka de, arata na inochi, Ima mo, umarete iru koto deshou kitto

(Somewhere in this vast universe, a new life is sure to be born even now)



すべてを 包みこむ 大地の 心音(こどう)をきいたなら わかるはず

Subete wo, tsutsumi komu daichi no, Kodou wo kiita nara, wakaru hazu

(You should understand if you listened to the pulsating heartbeat of this earth that holds everything together)



傷つけ 憎しみあうことは やめて燃えるような 未来 その手に アネット再び

Kizutsuke nikushimi au koto wa yamete Moeru you na mirai sono te ni. Anetto Futatabi

(The mutual hurting and hating will end as you take the seemingly burning future into your hands. Anett, once again)



One little oddity with this intro is a particular shot of a bunch of bad guys. Never mind that some random guy is holding a knife (no enemy like that ever appears in the game), it's more to do with the fact of how bad it looks compared to everything else in the intro:

It's like this one image was saved in JPEG, whilst everything else was PNG.
