Winspector and Goggle V

[Flavio Doria]

Hello people, I'm from Brazil, São Paulo.
I am a great fan of Tokusatsu (Kamen Riders, Ultramans, Sentais) and anime songs (in Japanese, Portuguese, French, Italian...).

I see in internet that in Italy passed a serie called WINSPECTOR (Tokkei Winspector in original). Somebody can give informations to me about Winspector the Italian version, and about music. Please

Other serie is Goggle V (Dai Sentai Goggle V), my friend say that Goggle V in Italy is called Power Rangers (the first Power Rangers is from 1994 = Might Morph Power Rangers) Is true ?

Thanks and Merry Xmas for All!

Hi

Don't remember much about winspectors

I do know Goggle V anyway.

They were, AFAIK, called Goggle V, just like in Japanese.

Power Rangers was actually the American version of various sentai live action series. T%hey were re-edited in order to change the "secret identities" of the characters with American actors. The costumed fights were all made in Japan

Many different series made up Power Rangers and spin offs through the 90's, but I'm quite sure Goggle V wasn't one of them

In facts I remember seeing Goggle V on a regional network at the same time the Power Rangers hype was strong. The small network was obviously trying to "ride the wave" of the popularity of Power Rangers.

I even videotaped some Goggle V episodes. I wonder where they are now

I'll give you some links as soon as I can

Hi Terrasque
thanks for your message.

I understand. Goggle V passed here in Brazil too (with Japanese music), i would like to hear Italian OP of GoogleV), of tokusatsu songs in italian i have only: Zaboga, Ultralion, X-Bomber, Megaloman, Izenborg.

Hey in your Goggle V tape the name of goggle v members is:
Kenichi Akama, Kanpei Kuroda, Saburo Aoyama, Futoshi Kijima and Miki Momozono ?

I have other question, it was Haim Saban and Shuki Levy that brought for italia these series (Goggle V, Ultralion, Megaloman,Zaboga...)?

Thanks!
bye

Hello, Brazilian friend! I'm really happy there's another tokusatsu fan and especially from so far a country!!! You have my sincere congratulations for your icon about Megaloman, it's really unique and wonderful!!! Concerning Italian versions of Goggle V and Winspector, I can say to you that both were broadcasted some years ago on Italia 7, a private channel of ours.

Goggle V, like Tarrasque said, is definitely no part of the Power Rangers saga. It arrived in Italy with original OP-END songs thema, and they were the original video credits, with even Japanese original title graphics (the Italian people only added an Italian wording GOGGLE FIVE at the end of the OP credits). The only noisy thing about the Italian edition, is that there was no availability of the Japanese International film band, so it is possible that the Italian version is a pirate one. In fact, when people talk, the Italian staff put original BGM music over a different music that HAD to be cancelled if they wanted to put the original Italian dubbing voices. The effect is really disturbing, but it remains an original Japanese version with actors, you understand. They broadcasted the whole series of 50 episodes with the final.

Concerning Winspector, it was broadcasted the last time really ages ago, I wonder if it was 1990. Anyway I know personally the (probably) only boy who taped the entire series in good quality. The original video credits were broadcasted, but with an Italian instrumental music theme. It is possible for some episodes they broadcasted also the Japanese original Songs, but I should control, as in the meantime I should control the number of episodes (I think some 30-40 episodes, is it right?).

Concerning Saban and Levy, they are involved with the later series like Power Rangers, but I'm pretty sure they had nothing to part with Zaborgar, Ultraman or Spectreman, nor with more recent series like Goggle V, Machine Man or Winspector.

When you want to talk about sentai, please, write (also to desslock67@yahoo.it, my private e-mail), for me it's always fantastic to exchange knowledge...I'm in contact with French best fan of Tokusatsu, creator of Soko fanzine, and I had the chance to see all the sentai arrived in France in a period when I could see Mangas satellite channel...
