Another Gatchaman Movie Update

Hi all!

Another update as we get closer to the premiere for the movie.

This time we start off with a link to a Japanese blog with photos taken by the blogger of the 109Men's Gatchaman costume display, showing the costumes and close-ups of the helmets.

Also, Nippon TV has announced another special for the movie, this one airing the evening of the 24th, the day the movie hits theaters across Japan. Well, okay, the special airs at 1:00am on the 25th, but Nippon Television is listing it as airing at 25:00 on the 24th, so... Anyway, this special is titled "Movie 'Gatchaman' Premiere Celebration * The Splended Cast's No-Holding-Back Talk Special."

If you think the time for that special is bad, you could always watch Nippon TV's airing of the 1978 Gatchaman movie on Monday the 19th (Or, more accurately, the morning og Tuesday the 20th). It is airing as part of their late-night "Movie Heaven" program at 2:08am. That's where DVRs come in handy...

Also coming up on Monday is the premiere of a tie-in commercial between the Gatchaman movie and the breath mint Acuo. Yes, it's nice to know that our heroes' breath will be minty fresh as they save the world! I'm sure the spot will be on YouTube shortly after it begins airing, and I'll post a link to it once I find one.

And, lastly, if you'd like to watch a series of interviews with the five lead actors as they promote the Gatchaman movie, they can be found on YouTube here:

Tori Matsuzaka (Ken)

Tatsuomi Hamada (Jinpei)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3NZwehgSx8

Ryohei Suzuki (Ryu)

The interviews are, of course, entirely in Japanese, but if you want to see what the actors look and sound like, this is a good opportunity to do so!

Thanks for all of the links, James! I'm really looking forward to this movie... whenever I get a chance to see it.
