Top 10 Saint Seiya Vocal Songs
Just wanted to mention what I think are the best vocal songs in my opinion of this great series, although before that I think I should mention "Corona Temple's March", song that was used in the Legend of Crimson Youth movie when all the wounded Bronze Saints were on their way to the Corona Temple to fight Abel but were received by Atlas, who kicked their asses.
Now, let's proceed to the list:
10.- "Chikyuugi": The OP song of the first 13 OVAS of the Hades Chapter. Aside having one of the best scenes ever (the 12 Gold Saints reunited under the sakura petals) keep in mind that this song marked the revival of Saint Seiya almost a decade after we saw episode 114 in which Poseidon was defeated. A extremely beautiful song that nevertheless, wasn't really fit to be a OP for the series.

A extremely beautiful song that nevertheless, wasn't really fit to be a OP for the series.
9.- "Diamond Dust": Cygnus Hyoga theme song. Enough said one of the coolest character songs I've ever heard.
8.- "Blue Forever": the first ED of the series = NOSTALGIA BOMB although I gotta say I lke the Latin dub of this song more than the original... anyways, that scene of Seiya wearing his V1 Cloth in the middle of some ancient Greek ruins is priceless.
7.- "Blue Dream": the second ED of the series. Performed by Hironobu Kageyama is one of my most favorite songs ever. The guitar solo is awesome.
6.- "Love is Forever": very catchy melody although I can't shake off the "80's" impression it has. Still, very enjoyable.
5.- "You're Phoenix": the most BADASS theme ever for the most BADASS character ever. Period.
4.- "Pegasus Fantasy": a true classic. The very first OP of the series and the one that would start the legend of the Saints. Really awesome.
3.- "Dead or Dead": this one was supposed to be the OP for the Hades chapter, but production problems kept Saint Seiya from continuing right after the Poseidon chapter ended. Also performed by Hironobu Kageyama I still think this one fits much better for the last arc of the series instead of Chikyuugi and Pegasus Forever.
2.- "Wake You Alone": also by Kageyama, the calm, heroic feeling this song transmits almost makes me put it in the first place. Almost... but it is another song of Kageyama the one that is the true embodiment of the series.
1.- "Soldier Dream": I guess it was no surprise here. My most favorite song not only of the series, but also ever. Kageyama did an awesome job for this song which was the second OP of the series and most probably, the most emblematic piece of Saint Seiya.
Anyways... this list is only according to my thoughts, although there are still a ton left of other great Saint Seiya vocal songs you should check out. I guess it is impossible not to compare all the discography with the one that is used for the recently released Lost Canvas OVAS. Truth is that I don't like that much the new OP, "The Realm of Athena", although the ED, "Chain of Flowers" has quickly become a favorite of mine. I can only hope Lost Canvas will get at least the manga fully animated so a comparison between the 2 series can even hope to be fair.
