Nippon Columbia Co., Ltd. has announced the release of the “Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger” theme song, set for March 2, 2011, in addition to the start of overseas distribution of the “Super Sentai Theme Song Series,” which comprises six of current total of 35 “Super Sentai Series” theme songs, available exclusively on iTunes beginning March 9th, 2011.

Ratings were up with boys, compared to Disney (Cars Movie) by seven per cent with boys aged two to 11 and by 34 per cent with the boys aged six to 11 category. Perhaps due to its heritage appeal, the launch brought in solid adult audiences too, earning a 0.57 adults 18 to 49 rating and a 0.61 male 18 to 49 rating, which is an increase of eight per cent and 61 per cent year-on-year, respectively.

Be warned: the Sentai songs they have on iTunes right now are pretty crappy. They bleed autotune and the singers are rather sub-par.
ReplyDelete(I do like the Magiranger one, though.)
I'm hoping this means we might be seeing officially subbed Sentai episodes too. It makes little sense to release only the songs in the US.
ReplyDeleteGoing by what the article says, they're planning on releasing more than just music. Does this mean we may be able to buy the actual tv show as well?
ReplyDeleteAwesome, I regularly listen to Super Sentai and I hope American kids will like them as much as I do!
ReplyDeleteHuh? How the hell do you compare cars to Power rangers? That's like comparing Ultraman to Toy Story.
ReplyDeleteBTW, you should compare ratings in different PR seasons.
Well, it's been several months since the original announcement and all we have so far is Gokaiger through Boukenger. When are they going to release the rest?!?
