YAT Anshin! Space Travel Returns: 90s NHK Sci-Fi Comedy Gets Blu-ray Revival

The 90s NHK sci-fi comedy YAT Anshin! Space Travel returns on Blu-ray from NHK Enterprises on November 21, 2025. A teen joins a scrappy space-tour company to search for his missing father—fueling fifty episodes of mishaps, oddball clients, and warm-hearted adventure, now revived in HD from the 1997–98 Hi-Vision masters.

A 90s NHK sci-fi comedy about family, travel, and chaos

Sixteen-year-old Goro Hoshito crashes into the tiny interstellar agency YAT, racks up debt after a mishap, and works it off while chasing clues to his father across the cosmos. Expect busted ships, eccentric guests, and low-gravity laughs with a soft spot for family.

The staying power: Namba’s pacing and Kenji Kawai’s melodies

Director Hitoshi Namba keeps the road-movie rhythm snappy, while composer Kenji Kawai adds bright, nostalgic themes that give the series its punchy swing even today.

Heroine spotlight: Hekiru Shiina ties songs and character together

Hekiru Shiina voices heroine Katsura Tenjoin and performs the ending themes—“Dame yo! Dame yo! Dame yo!!” (eps 1–25) and “MOON LIGHT” (eps 26–50)—linking character beats to pop hooks.

From the 1996–97 TV run to a Blu-ray revival using Hi-Vision HD

Originally broadcast on NHK Educational TV (now E-Tele) from October 1996 to September 1997, the Blu-ray set compiles all 50 episodes using the 1997–98 Hi-Vision HD materials for a cleaner presentation.
