That theme song sounds kinda neat. Any translation of the lyrics into English anywhere? I think it's so cool Japan will finally be getting 2k3. I mean, they send us the best of their anime (and sometimes even their worst). It's only fair we send them the best of what America has to offer in animation. And TMNT is a show that is rooted in the Janpnese tradition of ninja & stuff. I'd be really eager to know what the Japanese fans think of the show when it airs. I've always been eager to know what they think of Western animation in general. Do they think it's stupid or not that the West seems to target their animation mostly to kids? Will they think
2k3 is impressive for a western show or inferior to their anime? Is there any way we can even find out if we don't speak Japanese?

I like the song. It is diffrent and completely in japanese fashion to have a generic song to play in the start of a animated show instead of a theme song that directly refrences the show.
Why did it take so long for Japan to get ahold of the new ninja turtles toon? Other countries already have dubs of it already. Frankly I am psyched! I can not wait to hear what the japanese voice actors will sound like playing the turtles. Sieyuu are so good at their work and they will totally keep the feel for the original work alive. I can't wait to see clips of this.

Man, I am sure digging this song. I want it on my iPod now!
 I can really imagine the opening of the new TMNT cartoon playing to this. It fits rediculously well from my point of view. Very upbeat with a rocking background. I might be able to get the opening of the cartoon to play with this song if I can download both of them soon. I'll see what I can come up with when I get them  ~EDIT~ Damn, I'm trying to find a copy of the song and/or a translation of the lyrics, but I can't find anything. Really unusual for a song, even if it is in another country. I search for Japanese music all the time and I never had this problem before. Very strange... *frowns*

I dunno about you guys, but to me, this sounds a million times better than "Turtles count it off"

I like it - upbeat and cheerful, fine for the fast-paced intro. Pretty awesome - and fits the opening very well. Just tested it.

I made not understand the lyrics, but I sure like the music. It sounds waaaaaaay better than any of the TMNT 2k3 themes we've heard. So basically, they get our stuff, only better. Did congress pass a law saying all American cartoons must have crappy theme songs?

The difference is the Japanese look at anime as a way to market music. All the most popular bands over there do themes to there shows and they get released with as much fanfare as hot singles from regular music do over here.
OP and ED themes to cartoons are not viewed that way in the US. In fact half the time CN cuts them out to run more commercials instead. I love the opening theme. If anyone finds it in full please tell us! When I heard that Japan was getting the 4Kids shows I was most excited to hear what they should do with the music. |

It wasn't so much like that in the old days of anime, but much more so recently. Artists promote their music through anime openings. UVERworld and YUI with Bleach, OLIVIA and Anna Tsuchiya with NANA, even Koharu Kusumi of Morning Musume with....I forget the name of the show. If you look at it on a business perspective, it's a great way to promote your music, especially if you aren't very well-known, it's a wonderful tactic to get your name out there and have people listen to your older or newer works.
About the TMNT song, it's catchy. Good vocals, too. The lyrics fit well with the show. |

Hm, most likely, my dear sweet Bull. I just translated the site with the Google Translator and it said this -

Can't wait to see what kind of intro they have with this song
 Also, I have a lot of anime DVDs with dual audio, so the thought just ran through my head that 4Kids should add the Japanese audio to the upcoming DVD sets...it won't happen, but would be entertaining if they did

Hm, looks like the guys singing this are pretty unknown. I have done 5 general Google searches on "The Inazuma Sentai", and nothing has come up other than their website. I'm going to try again a week or so after the song has offically been released. I have a feeling they will have a small cult following them by then...

Actually, looking at DIC animations older series like Inspector Gadget, Heathcliff, and especially Super Mario Super Show, they did attempt end themes (though in the case of Gadget and Heathcliff, they were the same as the opening, but the music was just a little different) at least with some sort of animation to keep it interresting. Now with the cutting off half the screen during the credits, there's no way they'd ever ressurrect that. I mean, Animes have sound tracks. Here, we're lucky to find themes on a compilation disk. Animaniacs being an exception, having 3 albums. Spongebob has them too, but there isn't much call for cartoon character based sound track stateside.

Huh.
I normally don't like J-pop, but that wasn't bad. Not being a fan of the 2k3 theme, I'll take just about anything over what we've currently got. Thanks for registering Mendinso just to share this info with us. A lot of us are very intrigued with how the Japanese intend to treat the 2k3 series so please keep us updated!
