Thanks for your reply! I do know about the Takarazuka museum, and I hope to get there someday. But visiting Japan is quite expensive, so I did not manage as yet.

Yes, my nickname is a reference to the Tezuka character. In fact, in a Russian fandub of HI NO TORI 2772 in 1998, I voiced Saruta. I also organized that fandub. We could not get a Japanese original tape so we had to translate from English.

I loved that movie since it was shown on Russian TV in 1993. Then in early 1998 I got an English VHS tape of it and watched it many times. Then, in summer 1998, the Japanese embassy had a Tezuka screening in Moscow. (I lived in Moscow then).

They forgot to invite a translator for HI NO TORI 2772. It started in Japanese and no one could understand it. I knew it by heart from watching so many times. I "translated" for the audience - without knowing any Japanese. This even got mentioned in the (English-language) Moscow Times.

I found some friends there including a lady who is a professional in the Japanese language. And we decided to make a dub. (The 1993 TV version was lost). I translated from English and she corrected from what she remembered from the Japanese screening. We could not find a Japanese tape.

We did not have money, and thought we could not contact Tezuka Productions because of that. So we just gave away copies for free. The "pirates" got them, distributed them, and the fandub can still be found in many Russian cities (it was even seen in Israel).

Perhaps we were wrong. Perhaps we should have at least tried writing to Tezuka Productions. We actually had a person who could write in Japanese. But we were just young. I became interested in Linux and in copyright issues much later.

And this is why I understand the Vocaloid translators/uploaders. They are young too.

Now I am not young anymore, and can use the nickname Saruta - that character is nearly never shown young (except perhaps in HINOTORI Space). And like Saruta in HINOTORI 2772, I also have a big beard and somewhat bad manners ;)
