Megumi Ogata to Perform Ending Theme for Be Forever Yamato Film

Voice acting legend Megumi Ogata will lend her vocal talents to the fifth installment of Be Forever Yamato: Rebel 3199, performing the film's ending theme. A lyric video featuring the song has already been released for fans to enjoy.

Ogata is best known to anime fans as the voice behind iconic characters like Shinji Ikari from Neon Genesis Evangelion and Makoto Naegi from the Danganronpa series. Her distinctive voice has made her one of the most recognizable voice actors in the industry, particularly for her portrayals of young male protagonists.

The Be Forever Yamato: Rebel 3199 film series continues the legacy of the beloved Space Battleship Yamato franchise, which has been a cornerstone of Japanese science fiction anime since the 1970s. The original series, known as Star Blazers in some international markets, follows the crew of the spaceship Yamato as they journey through space to save Earth.

This marks another collaboration between Ogata and the space opera genre, adding her musical talents to complement her extensive voice acting career. The combination of her recognizable voice with the epic storytelling of the Yamato universe promises to create a memorable ending theme for the film.
