Kumi Miyasato - Himitsu Kudasai - Megazone 23, Part II

[MopedRonin]

Hmmm, having lived in Japan for over a decade, I find that a little hard to believe, but... weirder things have happened.

[tonicsoul87]

there's any karaoke version of this song?

This dub of Part 2 was apparently made solely to teach English to Japanese students and was never meant for American audiences.

I got it on a bootleg VHS at my local flea market, apparently taped off of a Japanese laserdisc release. The reproduction cover on the VHS tape says the mix is stereo, but it seems to be mono.

This dub was released on a bonus DVD with the overseas release of the new PS3 game, but it's Region 2, sadly.

I used to own a manga of MZ23 with the exact same art style, I've been looking for this for years. Where can I buy this version? I've seen a dvd with a complete collection, but the characters look more "cute" than they do here. Did this ever get released on DVD in north america?

@luisdiaz1980 I have had the dvd for about 2 decades,If you still havnt found it I will sell part I II and 3. But for a price...

[constantwurd]

@luisdiaz1980 I have the trilogy that was released in the US by ADV films in the mid 2000s. Reluctant to sell it, I can however make copies for this incredible work,

Maybe 1:50 BD's talking motion is repaired for Export version.

Original is just like Potato-Guy, more :D

Tatsunoko production is very famous and large but, in that time, OVA is just just just the video drama and is not the movie for theaters so it had been made by low budget and so it's quality is as that you saw :D

[RocStarr913]

This song actually sounds very similar to a Culture Club song called "Heaven's Children" on their album, From Luxury To Heartache. It's not out of the realm of possibility since Culture Club were particularly popular in Japan and the album came out around the same time the movie did.

[StrawberryZombie]

WOW, this dub. Wow.

[sbutlik]

Was there a original dub of the first MZ? I don't mean Robotech Untold Story.

And where can I find a download link to this dub?

[Lumadil]

I cant tell you where to download it, but ADV has released all 3 megazone's

[DarkHeroesEntertain]

Streamline had a dub of Megazone 23 part 1 many years ago. I use to have one of the last DVD copies of it but sold it after ADV's came out so I could have a superior sound and picture quality version. Dub of course wasn't that great.

This was interesting though I never saw this though.

[sbutlik]

I have the ADV version... I think there was version of the MZ23 part 1 that came out with the ps3 game. That the version I meant.

[HungryBeast]

I like it! terrific movie too BTW

たしかに。　ちゃんと英訳すべきだ。　もしかして、日本国以外ではこうしかできなったのでは？　私、メガゾーン２３を最近入手したが、２００１年１９，０００円­が、今は、３５，０００円。　高い。でも新品だった。

[Neosophist]

Shinobuda mentions that the words are different in this version. I mentioned the same too, Johnnie's real name is Shogo Yahagi

Amongst the ranks of Mari Iijima - from Macross 1984.

[Neosophist]

Johnnie... lmao

[troubleman245]

Sounds wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy better than that lousy ADV dub. Why didn't they just release the old HG dubs?

[Lumadil]

Because ADV likes keeping the story and translation closer to the Japanese version than the HG version did.

[Outlander11]

The Japanese version leaves alot out, the english dub where Shogo's name is Johnie and Yui, is Sue is much better than the original Jap. language version. Much better.

[Neosophist]

The English dub has much more of the English culture imprinted onto it than that of the Japanese version.

[Neosophist]

How can the Japanese version leave out anything when it was the original one?

[MegazoneTwoThree]

I think he means that this dub (for the Japanese) leaves alot of footage out compared to the original cut. I think it's because the dubbers (Harmony Gold?) might have decided to release the movie stateside at some point but never did in the end, but I could be wrong.
