Yeah, talk about how deleted scenes are PLAIN INEVITABLE. The song came from the LONG-RUNNING series called G-Men 75.

Other shows added where the opening songs of  Android Kikaider , Daitetsujin 17 (which only lasted 35 episodes), and Ucchu Keiji Gavan . Feeling old yet? It added Goranger and JAKQ into the acknowledgement. Rakuten Mobile This is an interesting find. Choshins...
