Arashi transforms into Tatsunoko heroes

Tokyograph News · 01-29-2009, 08:15 AM

The animated PV for Arashi's next single, "Believe," is a collaboration with animation studio Tatsunoko. The collaboration is linked to the upcoming live-action movie based on Tatsunoko's "Yatterman" franchise, which stars Arashi member Sho Sakurai and uses "Believe" as its theme song.

In the music video, each of the five Arashi members will "transform" into a character from a different Tatsunoko series. Sakurai will obviously take on the role of Yatterman No. 1. The other shows being used are "Yattodetaman" (Kazunari Ninomiya), "Time Bokan" (Satoshi Ohno), "Otasukeman" (Masaki Aiba), and "Zenderman" (Jun Matsumoto).

The "Yatterman" movie opens on March 7. "Believe" goes on sale as a CD single on March 4, the same day the PV becomes available through media site Dwango. A live-action music video for "Believe" is also being made.

Hi,

Did they mentioned about the other music video in the original source?
So that means there will be two music videos.. I wonder which one will they include for the single release. I'm hoping for both versions.

ANN's article cited Sankei Sports and Sports Nippon. Neither of those mentioned the alternate video, but the last line of Sports Hochi's article says:

Quote:

また、これとは別に本人が出演する実写版ＰＶも制作される。

meaning that a live PV (which the members actually appear in) is being made.

I don't think the live version will have anything to do with Tatsunoko, though. I'm guessing it's probably a normal PV.
