HAYABUSA -Back to the Earth- narrator is...

Mods, if this isn't in the right forum, feel free to move. (I think a generic Ultra Chat subforum would be nice...)

Anyways, surely many of you have heard that the spacecraft HAYABUSA's 7 years travel in space to the comet Itokawa has returned back to Earth last week!

Prior to this, Japan also released a CG-ed movie in 2009 telling the tale of HAYABUSA. And the narrator is none other than Shinoda Saburo, the actor for Ultraman Taro's host Higashi Kotaro!

Even the official Twitter for the movie once twitted him as "Ultraman Taro's voice," so it's like Taro retelling the story of Earth's spacecraft traveling in space. Pretty appropriate, don't you think?

I wish he was still active in the Ultra franchise. :(

I can't wait for the data to be published, and see what differences there are with the sample(s) if any.
