To clarify, the song remains in other regions’ versions, as Netflix users in Japan still have the “Fly Me To The Moon” outro as it appeared in the original run of Neon Genesis Evangelion.
This was confirmed by some Netflix users on the Japanese server, who played it for all to hear on Twitter.
Specifically, the famed outro’s licensing fee was reportedly deemed too expensive to include in the American release due to the song’s pricing for global rights, although Netflix itself has not released an official statement on the matter.
