Gatchaman People in the News

Hi all!

In an odd coincidence, a trio of stories involving people involved with Gatchaman have appeared on the Anime News Network site over the last couple of days, and i figured some of you might be interested in seeing them

The first is about Kazuko Sugiyama, the voice of Jun, talking about how she got the role of Heidi in the anime version of that famous story.

The second is about Yuji Nunokawa, who was a Director for episodes of Gatchaman II, receiving a Government Cultural Award.

The third is much less cheery than the other two, and regards Pierre Taki, the actor who portrayed Pierre Katse in the Gatchapin series. Sadly, Pierre was arrested for cocaine use.

That is a coincidence. I'm sorry to hear Taki has fallen into the drug world.
