I was looking around and myyearbook.com(not really sure what that is its new to me lol) and I found this: Gatchaman Video

That's from the NTT commercials done in Japan in 2000. Unfortunately, that's all that was ever done with this particular Gatch revamping. http://www.chronicsite.com/gatchaman/introductions.html Click on NTT 2000 Campaign.

Ok that is rather unfortunate it looked like it would have been kick ass huh? What you think about this video? Animetal

The Animetal version is great! I love the way they most to 'Chkiyuu wa hitosu'!

lol my brother was asking about gatchman so I went and looked up videos and found those

Too bad nothing came out of it, would have been good!

That video was on the BOTP DVD box set. There was another video which had a boy band dressing up (one of them as the Swan) who did a similar type video as well.

Oh God. That metal one was a freaking HOOT! KISS wannabe much? Love it

I love it!!!

There was a few more extras on that BOTP boxed set too. Excellent set to have in your collection!

Yea I think the bands name was actualy named SMAP or something to that sounding

Hard to believe that those commercials were for NTT-East's at-the-time new high speed internet service, isn't it? But, that's all that they were for. The idea was that you would go to the website listed in the ads (Which, sadly, was around only until the campaign ended). The site was filled with flash pages with the Ninja Team telling you how wonderful the new high speed service was and links for how to sign up for it. To make things more interesting, the site also had some background information on the Ninja Team members and a few games you could play. If you were able to complete the games, you won downloads for screensavers and wallpaper. Yes, the name of the boy band who played the Science Ninja Team in the live action commercials is SMAP. The two SMAP commercials actually form the first half of the story, and the animated commercials form the latter half of the story (If you can call anything that runs 90 seconds total a story). The second of the SMAP spots and the first of the animated spots actually cover the same material, allowing you to see two versions of the same sequences. A third animated spot was planned and storyboarded, but never produced. It would have featured the Ninja Team vehicles in action. And, while it's just a personal opinion, I think that the bonus material on the Australian BotP Box Sets blows the UK Box Set out of the water. They have things like alternative versions of a couple episodes, a G-Force pilot episode, a great audio commentary by Jameson Brewer, a nice selection of BotP commercials, and more. It can be more of a pain because buying 5 Australian sets is more expensive than buying the single British set, but I'd say it's worth the effort. James

I have the Aussie set too and I agree with you! Also the different running order is good too.
