Neil Sedaka - 'Better Days Are Coming' (1972)

A Japanese version of this song was later used as a theme song for "Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam". It was the first track of Side Two of the Solitaire album.

この曲をガンダムの曲にしようと思ったのが凄い
どう考えてもロボットアニメの曲じゃないよね

[xtremespotzu]

He's right, better days ARE coming.

You just gotta believe in a sign of Zeta and go beyond the time.

[AdarisTempest]

This song makes me want to have a pure time.
Everyone's a noble mind.

[cyberneticarm]

Better days never came at the end of Zeta Gundam. But, I still believe in a sign of Zeta.

Neil before 1980's: Better days are coming~

Neil after 1980's: PURE TIME

I'd heard of the ties between this and Zeta Gundam. I heard it wasn't really that similar. I was not prepared for it to literally BE the song.

Better Days are Coming! Believe in the Sign of Zeta!!

Few months ago i bought a used boss tshirt with this text on the front "Better days are coming" and now at the end of the 2022 i have a real feeling about this words come true. Im the 90' kid so i do not known this song. Today i typed words from my tshirt to goole and discovered it.

ちなみにZガンダムのED曲もニールセダカ氏の「Bad and Beautiful」という曲が原曲にあります。

Just found out Zeta Gundam's opening was a japanese version of this... I have been bamboozled.

I love this song. It really gives hope, even now in 2020.

I want to have a pure time, have a noble mind and go beyond the time because better days are coming
