August Ragone helped out, huh?
Not to disrespect the lad, but I have some reservations about his attitude towards those of us who are not as "informed" and "educated" as he is, but I won't say here, but needless to say he has an attitude problem and can be a real dick about his knowledge of all things Japanese.  PM me or ask me here and I'll let you know.


Anyway, onto your book-congrats!
As a kid I used to watch Marine Boy every day on WPHL 17 (Philly) and have many fond memories of things such as underwater jet boots, Oxy-Gum, and a boy and his dolphin!

The music they used in the end credits was the opening to the Japanese show, (very Hawaiian sounding) and the American opening theme song still resonates in my mind.

"Swishing thru the water on a friendly dolphin's back,
coming to the rescue of victims of attack.
In a flash, he'll foil the foe, with a quick boomerang throw.
Loyal friend of the sea, to the end, he's Our Marine Boy!"

That off the top of my head with no lookups on Youtube!  :bouncegiggle:

Anyway, looks good and congrats on a show that's been all-but forgotten. Cheers!
