GATCHAMAN, CCU ME 1999 performance (科學小飛俠-中正機械1999年合唱比賽)

from: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCILm6tRblE&feature=related

This video clip documents a part of 1999 chorus competition of undergraduates in Chungcheng Univ., Taiwan. (http://www.ccu.edu.tw/) Performers in this clip were then undergraduate students of Mechanical Engineering Dept.

The first song was the anthem of Chungcheng Univ.; the 2nd the localized version of the theme song from Japanese animation series GATCHAMAN
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gatchaman) during its premiere in Taiwan back in the 1980's as it had been. The song has been a piece of remembrance common to kids of those days and even years later (due to re-runs).

Performers dressed themselves like protagonists in Gatchaman - with one-use raincoats and motorcycle helmets, cheap but brilliant; the conductor even crazily aped Dr. Kozaburo Nambu, the director of Gatchaman - wearing a laboratory coat.

Home

from: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqxENMKaeCU&cc=1

We are living in exceptional times. Scientists tell us that we have 10 years to change the way we live, avert the depletion of natural resources and the catastrophic evolution of the Earth's climate.

The stakes are high for us and our children. Everyone should take part in the effort, and HOME has been conceived to take a message of mobilization out to every human being.

For this purpose, HOME needs to be free. A patron, the PPR Group, made this possible. EuropaCorp, the distributor, also pledged not to make any profit because Home is a non-profit film.

HOME has been made for you : share it! And act for the planet.

Yann Arthus-Bertrand
