Ultraman and Kimba - Epic Kiddie Ballads

When I was about five years old I was obsessed with Japanese cartoons and monster action shows. The most important thing about them was that they had excellent opening credits and theme songs - especially Kimba and Ultraman. They aired on Hawaiian television starting at 6 a.m. in the late 1960's, and I was inspired to stand on my tiny wooden stool and sing along fervently. The themes are about heroes who stand for fairness, justice and fighting evil. Kimba got to run like hell and do amazing flying leaps. Ultraman's groovy go-go song also had this rad swirling psychedelic paint opening (it changed color with different episodes). Catchy, simplistic lyrics that are still stuck in my head.
