CHASE THE DREAM

Track 1 of 'Bubblegum Crisis 8: Scoop Chase' (バブルガム・クライシス8), which is the official soundtrack of Episode 8, 'Scoop Chase'.

Released: Dec 26, 1990

This is a part of an ongoing project to have the entire soundtrack of Bubblegum Crisis accessible to everyone in an organized manner for all to enjoy. All tracks are of the highest quality I can find, and slight adjustments to the audio were made to enhance your listening experience. Think of my doings as a labor of love for the series and community, this series has incredible music but it's sometimes hard to find exactly what you're looking for. I hope this will provide you with the high quality music that you're looking for. Thanks, and enjoy!

____________________

A glass show window, a crowd of taxis,
the noise of a neon street that never sleeps.
I dashed out into midnight, jacket in hand,
my flushed body bursting with energy.

Even if I slip through the cracks, I'll get my
way. I don't want to be beaten now...
"Knock down" ...even though I stumble
over the fence of loneliness.

"Chase the Dream"
I'll always want to believe...
"Chase the Dream"
...in my own latent strength.
Today's tears are the way to joy.
Failure is the way to success.
I'm sure it will always be that way.
"I don't wanna say 'Give up.'"

I saw a teenager with helpless eyes
because he couldn't see even
a fragment of gentleness
who no longer wanted to
spend melancholy dawns
leaning against the subway shutters
and waiting for the first train.

On a rooftop where the wind was blowing,
he made a fist, took a jab,
and broke the pathetic night.

"Chase the dream"
I'm sure that, by standing up tall...
"Chase the dream"
...I'll show them I can make it in this town.
I want to keep on racing,
accelerator open all the way,
sweat pouring over my heart.
"I wanna get big chance."

I'll even give my blood in exchange
for my dreams, because the
last thing I want is regret.

"Chase the Dream"
I'll always want to believe...
"Chase the Dream"
...in my own latent strength.
Today's tears are the way to joy.
Failure is the way to success.
I'm sure it will always be that way.
"I don't wanna say 'Give up.'"

One of the best songs from Bubblegum Crisis OST and that's saying a lot considering just about every song is good.

[DrunkJapanese]

This song, Wasurenaide, Mad Machine, and Love Type Rival are unparalleled for music today. Absolutely fabulous music.

[Comkill]

Considering this was the credits song in the last episode (even if that was unintentional) it’s a pretty perfect way to end the original Bubblegum Crisis.

[koojaba]

Back In 1992 you have no idea how hard to buy Bubblegum Crisis LD and OST CD outside Japan (Fly to Hong-Kong or order by local shop that really understand what you want with tear jerk quote price).

[herbbot]

This is my favorite episode of bgc. It's like light hearted nene is so cute too lol

[Kenshirord]

Least favorite episode... one of my favorite songs. Probably my third favorite of the entire series.

[frankschmidt]

The Intro is amazing :-) And the hole Song of course.

[lgcbmb]

Classic anime at its finest and the sound tracks on par with the shows, perfect synchro's!

[TheNocturnal]

Looks like they took down the album that has the vocal collections 1, 2, and 3. So Watchout!
