Japanese Opening for TMNT2003.

[Mendinso]

Guys, I'll be posting some clips of April's voice soon. So check back at the top of the thread once I get them up.

Anybody found the opening song "Jounetsu no Kaze" for download or or purchase as mp3? I can't find it anywhere.

Here is a concert music video of the full song if you'll like to see/hear it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CoEDjqRL_-c

I purchased both the "Jounetsu no Kaze" and "Summer Fighter" (the ED song) singles from cdjapan.co.jp. "Jounetsu no Kaze" is the muchmuchmuch better song.

Here's links:
Jounetsu no Kaze (the cd comes with a paper insert, which is meant to be thrown away, featuring the band with Ninja Turtles masks on - I'll be keeping that ) This CD also has the music video on it. No karaoke version, though.
Summer Fighter (link features the cover art, which is all TMNT)

WTF!? Why is the intro the same as the American one?

I think that was the choice of the Poster and not the original broadcast, but then again I may be wrong

[Dorkfish]

Thanks Roselangelo!
I found the "Jounetsu No Kaze" cd at http://www.playasia.com with much cheaper shipping. ($2.60 as opposed to $11+ at cd japan.) They also have the Live action movies in Japanese and Cantonese, but you need an all region or region 2 dvd player.

And thanks for the link to the Japanese dub, Herr Shredder!!

[Roseangelo]

Yeah, I stray from cdjapan myself due to their high shipping - I actually ordered from amazon.co.jp, but that site isn't in English, so I dunno how helpful that would be for everyone.

[Time Mistress]

Those are just the two opening and closing theme singles right Rose? Those aren't the full band CDs are they? Is there going to be a Japanese TMNT CD do you think with both of these songs and more on it?

Thanks for the links btw. I really want to get both of those songs (though I like Winds of Passion better).

Anyone have an English translation for the lyrics to these two songs yet?

And I look forward to hearing April, Medinso.

[Roseangelo]

Both CDs are only singles, not full CDs. But in the tradition of singles in Japan, each one features an additional song by the artist, which has nothing to do with TMNT.

I would guess an actual TMNT CD would not be likely. The only way they could do that is if they released it with a buttload of BGM. I think the show would have to be veryvery popular for that to happen. But hey, you never know.

[FearlessLeader]

Does anyone happen to know how the show is doing over in Japan??

With having no ability to read Japanese I have no way to find out its ratings

[Time Mistress]

Thanks Rose. Guess I'll be getting the singles then.

That was my very next question too Reira. How are the Japanese liking 2k3?

[Dorkfish]

The poplularity is slowly growing from what I hear from my Japanese bud on Deviant Art. Mostly it is people that were fans of the old toon.
I've seen that there is a small union of artists that are fans of the show, most of which are female. I'm crossing my fingers that they start making some doujinshi (printed fan comics) soon.

[Mendinso]

Well, no clips from me yet. Hopefully I'll get them up eventually.

Inregards to doujinshi, there's actually an offical manga being serialized. Not sure what magazine it's in though, however.

Ooooh! Keep us posted on this! Especially once it gets published into its own book (assuming it does). I sense a trip to Japan Town...

The TMNT doumei (union of fans in Japan) http://www.geocities.jp/tmntdoumei/ has grown to over 100 members, many with websites featuring fanart. There is even a community of fans that are going to meet a second time and have a little TMNT get-together. My friend (whose artwork is the bg of that doumei site) has been to one and says that they talk about their favorite characters and "moe" (I won't go into that...) and then go to a Karaoke bar where they sing the "Jounetsu No Kaze" theme and draw fanart together. XD From what I am told, most of the active fanbase is female. I also hear talk about doujinshi. Maybe being printed this winter or next spring. I can't wait!

Oh yay! Please keep us updated on this (and send PMs if you've got connections to get copies ).
