| Day 5 - Monkey Magic (Seiyuki II) TV show |

Day 5 - OK . I'm massively jet lagged. I have no idea what's going on with school as it's Monday and they didn't schedule us to do anything that day. Then later on that night... 10pm. I turn on the TV and hear this.....
Mp3 1 - Monkey Magic - Fighting starts
Drum solos starting out a fight scene and then going into an awesome disco funk song sung in English. Any show with drum solos in it for a start of a fight scene is always a winner in my book.
So what show is this? Luckily I could find it online. It's this old show from the 1979 called Saiyuki II in Japanese or Monkey Magic for the lucky folk in the UK! That's right there is a DVD of this out somewhere in English. But even if your Japanese skills are not so good you can pretty much understand the show. Here's a bumper and another scene
Mp3 2 - Monkey Magic - Bumper
Mp3 3 - Monkey Magic - Water Dump Funk
Ah yes. I had the TV turned all the way up. This show rocks. It the music reminds me of CHiPs but the show is based on Japanese mythological charters fighting over some evil yokai monsters. The lead guy is Monkey (Goku). He can get special powers from the gods and stuff. The music in the first mp3 kind of explains that so let me shut up and let you listen to some more...
Mp3 4 - Monkey Magic - Sfx 1
Mp3 5 - Monkey Magic - Princess Sfx
Mp3 6 - Monkey Magic - Synth Ballad
Mp3 7 - Monkey Magic - Bumper 2
Mp3 8 - Monkey Magic - Fire and Stones Another great fightiing music part
If you're looking for this on DVD I recommend you call Rick up at the DRUNKEN MASTER store or email him ASAP. Monkey Magic is cheesy action fighting martial arts winner. Fun, silly action with awesome music.
If anyone wants to watch the show via my camera hit me up on Yahoo messenger djtoucan. Monkey Magic (Saiyuki II) starts at 6am for anyone in LA or 9am for New York.
Also the music is by some group called Godiego (Godaigo in Japanese) more on them next time? |
