The backgound? LOL, thats the music from "Star Blazers" and "Space Battleship Yamato" an anime series in the early 80s. I remember being a kid an running home to watch it from school every day.
In retrospect, it wasn't a cartoon about outer space, in reality, it was written about naval combat in WWII (from a Japanese perspective). Many of the people behaved like WWII japanese navy and the ships and combat were all pretty much the same (carriers, space subs, marines, torpedo bombers) Some of the scenes were even borrowed from WWII movies.
Anyway, the music in the background of this clip is the music used for the "theme" of when the good guys ship was usually coming out of repair and heading into battle. Over there, "Space Battleship Yamato" is a big deal. They even had a movie release in December that was the event of the year....
