Nice find, those were on YouTube for a while but got taken down.

Any way to find the HK versions?

That was me who uploaded the OP on YouTube and I would've uploaded the ending if that site hadn't suspended my account.

Any way to find the HK versions?

Wait a year. They're still on Gekiranger.

 

[Mr. Yellow]

I know they're still on Gekiranger, I meant more of the HK past sentai openings.

Well, here comes what we have, or haven't been waiting for. Presenting, the Korean opening to Gaoranger: http://tvpot.daum.net/clip/ClipView...레인저&searchType=0&sort=wtime&svctype=1&focus=1

The site may be slow to load.

Note how they've managed to replace all the Japanese text. Including the 3D text. I thought that was hard to do.

The Abaranger OP done in Korean wasn't bad.

That explains a lot - thanks.

Looks like Korea didn't skip Shinkenger because of the Japanese content. From Uglyonger:

Because Korea goes with the power ranger branding, they had to hold shinkenger due to the recent Saban moves, but the series will indeed hit Seoul one year from now, Japanese footage and Japanese toy molds all.
In response to your other question, you can still find sentai toys from 1990 at retail at the original prices. For harder to find items, mandrake.

Looks like it was because of the sale to Saban, so they weren't sure of the details. This could be the same reason for Hurricanger/Ninja Storm if you think about it...things still being transitioned to Disney at the time.

 

[Digifiend]

Doesn't explain why they didn't start with Hurricanger when they switched to Sentai then (no Disney involvement in the Sentai). Or use it now. I still find it puzzling that they dub Wild Force and then Gaoranger, when half the footage is shared, and many plots are identical. If Japanese culture wasn't the reason for not using Shinkenger, there's no reason why they couldn't have gone with Hurricanger this time, which wouldn't give deja vu feelings to viewers since they never had Ninja Storm.
