New upload! Clip from the 1987 live-action adaptation of Shakotan Boogie, scanned by us from a 35mm print, subbed by LonelyChaser Fansubs!
This film was only ever released on VHS/LD, & streaming uses an SD master, making this the only HD version out there!

A&C has taken the liberty of releasing this in 4K using our scan, & they’ve included a number of audio and subtitle options…
LATAM, Castellano & French dubs along with the OG JPN audio…
And their own new Spanish subs, along with Saizen’s English subs!
Many thanks to their team!

As mentioned, this & the rest of Captain Tsubasa has never been remastered in HD officially. Here are some comparison images from the DVD!

(Btw, the only other complete HD remastered work from it also comes from us, the 3rd film “Run Towards Tomorrow”!)

I think the general public need to cop to the phenomenon of conservative Christians proclaiming themselves to be radical feminists, trans people were way ahead of this rhetorical trick but unfortunately we were ignored

There are no other scenes that were cut from the print. It is possible that shots seen uncut on a pre-release trailer were pre-censored before release, but this is all that we found was swapped. You may also be confusing censorship for shots with intentional video effects.
That means that, as far as can be actually proven with our analysis of the theatrical print and the spliced-out uncut segments, is that anything else that was left there was intentional, and only these scenes specifically were the result of a rushed censorship attempt by Toei.

In case you're wondering why there isn't MORE uncut footage than previously seen, it's because it never existed at all. This was all there was the whole time. Anything else that may have been altered was done before theatrical release, & was likely intentional from the beginning.

This uncensored footage was discovered attached to a 35mm print on the main feature, originating from a film collector in Japan, who is assumed to have acquired them from a movie theater there. The feature itself is censored, yet exhibits very rough and poor tape splices precisely at the same points where these uncensored clips begin and end. This strongly suggests that the uncensored segments were physically spliced out from the feature and replaced with their censored counterparts, likely at the theater itself during the film’s exhibition.
Accordingly, it is inferred that the film was initially distributed by Toei in an uncensored form, but the censored materials were subsequently issued and distributed to theaters—presumably in response to negative feedback about violence shown in the movie, though the exact causes remain unknown. There is practically no chance that it will ever be released in its original uncensored form again.
This 35mm print in its censored form and the attached uncensored footage were obtained and scanned by us in 4K. Some basic restoration and color correction have been applied. Aside from the infamous low-quality footage originating from an Italian VHS release, this is the first time any other legitimate source of this uncensored footage has appeared, and in proper high definition to boot. We present this legendary footage, unaltered and uncut, for the first time in decades. We share these select shots with permission from the print owner, but it is not possible for us to share any more than this out of our obligations, so thank you for understanding.
[NOTE: Even within this uncensored portion of the footage, there was still one shot that was visibly edited on videotape and then kinescoped back to 35mm film, but this may be a case of intentional experimentation, as the shot in question contains a very complex visual effect that may have been only possible to achieve on video at the time of production.]

While other contents such as anime might be our bread and butter, we strive to achieve the general goal of helping preserve media, no matter what. It is always an honor to find and preserve such rare treasures, especially one as special as a pre-WWII Japanese film. Please enjoy!

This film was completely lost & never rediscovered until now, so this is the 1st time anyone has seen it since its original release. We do not have adequate means to store material as dangerous as nitrate, so we have also donated the print to the National Film Archive of Japan.

In addition to being presented in its original 18fps, a score made up of different pieces of music from Akira Ikufube was newly created by @nappasan.bsky.social, which compliments the visuals of the film nicely. He also translated the film's titles, w/@azelf89.bsky.social creating the subtitles!

Pre-War JPN films are especially difficult to come by, as many early works became lost as a result of World War II & Japan's bombing by the Allied Forces. This film was lucky to have survived in its current state, which, while a bit dirty and scratched up, still looks fantastic.

Hayashibara has apparently been getting her news from YouTube Channels and has lost trust in the news she sees on TV.
Journalist Tsuda Daisuke has pointed to this as an example of why Japan needs more regulation of far-right/conspiracy internet content.

Famous anime voice actress Hayashibara Megumi made a blog calling on her fans to to vote because some foreign students get scholarships, and some foreign tourists are rude.
She compared these unspecified bad foreigners in Japan to an "invasive species." ameblo.jp/megumi--haya...

Whether or not this is the original broadcast version (no actual footage/screenshot of it existed in any form) or simply an alternate cut made for Asian markets, it certainly has many differences from the home video version, & it’s likely the 1st time anyone’s seen it in decades!
