What's the name of the song during the opening?


It's the one that starts as soon as the Earth and the title appear. I was wondering if anyone knew the title and the soundtrack that has it.

I have the Galaxy Express 999 Memorial Songs Collection. It has three tracks from the 1979 movie:

13. "The Galaxy Express 999" - this one has the chorus that goes,

"The Galaxy Express 999
Will take you on a journey
A never ending journey
A journey to the stars
14. "Taking Off" - chorus begins:
I'm leaving, I'm flying
I'm taking off to the unknown
15. The title is only in kanji; it's the ballad by the female vocalist from around the middle of the film.

"I'm willing to put my life on the line to do what I have to. But it has to be mine, no one else's." - Batman: Gotham Knight

I finally bought the soundtrack to the film on Amazon, and it's just called
"Prologue - Main Theme".

If anyone is interested in buying the film soundtrack, it's under the title

"Animex Koukyoshi Gingatetsudou"
