I still find it kinda funny that the idea of anime OPs having sung lyrics came entirely as a result of the English dub of Astro Boy '63; reportedly, the English theme was so well-liked it got translated into Japanese and incorporated into the Japanese version of the series, setting a standard that other shows would follow to this day. Really, this is hugely important to the history of anime, and even if the quality isn't ideal (if the description is to go by), to see it look this good at all is pretty great!

none of that is true, the japanese theme is based off of the tokusatsu's theme from 1959, the anime was a re-wording of it.

@@ViewpointProd Huh, I wasn't aware about the 1959 version's existence; from the looks of it, it's pretty obscure, so I get the feeling that it's place in the franchise's history was never well-documented (at least not outside of Japan). From what I was told, the JP version originally used an instrumental theme, which was given lyrics in the English dub, then back-translated and incorporated into the Japanese airing; I wasn't aware that it was actually based on an earlier adaptation's intro until now. I decided to look the toku version up out of curiosity, and while it's not identical to the 1963 theme, the similarities are indeed pretty close. Learn something new every day!

I realized that in the 1980s series, the end credits theme in Japanese says astro boy, which if you know anything that's his English name, in Japan he's called the mighty atom. It's just in the song,it's not in the series to my knowledge, but the Japanese were definitely influenced a little.

@@ViewpointProd Not really? I've heard the 1959 OP, it sounds nothing like this. That said I don't think the dub would've had any bearing on anime OP lyrics anyway. Tetsujin 28's anime came out and had lyrics within the same year, and even outside the genre of "Classic shounen action" other anime or tokusatsu had theme songs. It's kinda the natural thing to do.

I've tried so hard to get it to a presentable state, but sadly the amount of mold present on the print is making it impossible to restore digitally. We're considering some major film cleaning to get rid of the mold, but it may not work, we're unsure.
