Japanese openings to American cartoons

[Drtooth]

Here's something really interresting.

You see, sometimes they record new songs for them to open the show with... like these examples...
Dastardly and Muttley in their flying machines (http://youtube.com/watch?v=NnjmTynLJyo)
Wacky Races (Tiki Tiki Machine Mou Race) (http://youtube.com/watch?v=fmxkt0Gfo1M&mode=related&search=)
Batman (Filmation series) (http://youtube.com/watch?v=uEFeB7qLDVs)
TMNT (2003 version 1) (http://youtube.com/watch?v=aGHmuRyOh7M)
TMNT (2003 version 2) (http://youtube.com/watch?v=yEFLUFpJWn4)

And sometimes they take ste same song and rerecord the music...

Or they'll just redub Japanese lyrics to the original music...

Not surprising since a Japanese studio animated half the episodes.

What product was that exactly?

Hands free hair dryer. Something you can mount to the wall.

I love it when American celebrities do commercials like that. but then again, TMS (a Japanese animation studio that animated a lot of American cartoons in the 80's and 90's, not to mention their own hits like Lupin III and Anpanman) did animate most of the series, and probably did animation for that coomercial as well.

Wow! And from Tiny Toons of all things!
