They'll subtitle this interview into English, so you'll all get to hear Masaaki's voice (as opposed to dubbing it as the BBC did for the "I Love..." shows. 3) It's looking very unlikely that Fabulous Films will be able to get any Godiego video clips for the DVDs, or produce some karaoke / singalong videos as hoped. They're still working on it, but it's looking difficult. 4) All 13 undubbed episodes will be featured on the DVDs (one per DVD) - the current agreed names for these episodes are (the number is the original episode number when first shown in Japan): 29. Gambling Fever 30. Pigsy Learns A Lesson 31. The Land With Two Suns 32. The House of the Evil Spirit 33. Am I Dreaming? 34. The Tormented King 35. Between Heaven and Hell 40. Newlyweds 45. The Fake Pilgrims 48. Mountain Of Monsters 49. Stoned 50. Howling At The Moon 51. Monkey's Yearning But these names are subject to change. Note: The English subtitles on these episodes will be optional, so if you want to just watch them in Japanese without the subtitles, you'll be able to switch them off. 5) All DVDs will feature: - - Cast biographies (which I'm writing at the moment!) - - Character descriptions - - Episode synopses - - Photo gallery 6) There *may* be a Monkey quiz on one of the DVDs. 7) NTV don't have any outtakes, deleted scenes or behind-the-scenes footage 8) Looks like the English scripts won't be included on the DVDs 9) There will be web link pages 10) The April edition of "PlayNation" magazine in the UK may feature a free Monkey episode, as added PR for the UK Monkey DVD release. Most likely, it will be episode 25, "The Country Of Nightmares". 11) Expect to see some PR for the DVDs on "The Movie Chart Show" sometime soon. 12) *Hopefully* the DVDs will be region-free, so fans in Australia will be able to buy them too, and watch them on any DVD player. More news on this later.
