New text translation post:
The Nov. 1978 issue of Animage includes a section where they interviewed Yoshikazu Yasuhiko—I commissioned an English translation of this article, which you can now read below on my blog.

@MD_Chaos4 Compared to other Yokoyama scores I've heard so far, this one I really like the most. Unfortunately the OST release omitted some of the better tracks from the movie which I'm really bummed out about.
@MD_Chaos4 Glad you liked it. I hadn't really thought about how this kind of movie could have been easily made in live-action, which I don't disagree with. There's a good chance they would have brought in foreign actors for this too which I think could have spiced it up further.
The score was composed by Seiji Yokoyama!
You can also spot a promotional poster for Future War 198X on the facade of the Shinjuku Milano in episode 36 of Space Sheriff Gavan, which also aired in 1982.
New upload! Two trailers for the 1982 film FUTURE WAR 198X, scanned from 35mm prints in 4K! The 1st was acquired by us, & the 2nd by @galvionknuckles, who has also not only subbed these, but the whole movie itself, which we've also scanned in 4K from 35mm! https://t.co/dPxrPeQcU7
New fansub release:
In collaboration with .@kinekovideo, we're proud to present the first-ever (proper) English-subbed release of Toei's "Future War 198X"—scanned in HD from a 35mm copy, now available on Nyaa.
Thank you to all the folks who helped with this release (you know who you are), and a big thanks to Kineko for giving me the opportunity to sub this. I've been wanting to sub this since 2015 and that dream has finally come true 🙏
Please check it out!
I've recently taken a huge interest in album liner notes, specifically ones from non-anime albums, so I'm planning on getting more of these translated sooner or later, hopefully.
Big thanks to "justj22" for translating the notes from both of these albums
ICYMI:
I posted in July English translations of liner notes from two separate albums. The first one is from Takeo Miyate's "Za Za Za", a Yuji Toriyama-arranged synthpop album I ripped from vinyl back in 2022.

The second one, which I had actually posted very recently this past week, is a set of liner notes written by Tomonori Kogawa that were included in the insert sheet for the OST release of his "COOL COOL BYE" OVA. These contain production notes.
