TV Tokyo referred to this ident as "Patapata." They actually got rid of it not long after the infamous Pokemon anime "seizure" incident, which was probably a good idea, although the very '80s synth score was dated by then anyway. The Japanese text above the number 12 at the beginning of the ident apparently means "green and refreshing" or something to that effect. At the end, "12 months of fun," a slogan the station had adopted in 1979 when it was still known as Tokyo 12 Channel (if you haven't, check out the really cute - but bizarre - OP/ED the station used from 1979 until its '81 name change to TV Tokyo). Incidentally the narrator on the variants used from 1985-98 was Ayako Miyazaki, famous as one of Japan's first female newscasters. (Not to be confused with the cricketer of the same name, who wasn't even born when this ident was first introduced.) Also in the '85-'98 version, the "12" logos at the beginning and end were replaced with still photos of the TV Tokyo building (a daytime pic for signon and a nighttime pic for signoff), although a very brief glimpse of the white "JOTX-TV" text on green background is still visible before the "trippy" part of the ident begins.
Some Japanese uploaded these both on YT and Niconico. But they're risky to get deleted due to copyright claim from an authority that doesn't even own them.
4 Versions go like this: 1981-1985 (Sign-on & off) : This video 1985-1993 : Like you said in on the last paragraph. 1993-1995 : A little change where the narrator annouces power,the kilowatts unit change from KW to kW. 1995-1998 : TV Tokyo ex-logo changed from blue to red.
They used this as signoff as well. This is the "clean" version - there's also a version with a female announcer giving the station ID, frequency and power information (which is also printed on a blue screen which obscures most of the on-screen graphics for a few seconds) and (depending on whether it's signon or signoff time) a "please enjoy today's programming" or "good night" message.
This looks so ahead of its time (although the music REALLY aged badly), this ident would still look brand-new if someone actually makes a remake with modern 2D effects.
i wish i made something like this (even though im not japanese and have no cel paper). but i love the animation. sad they removed this off the airwaves. if only they still used it

Awesome information! Thanks a lot. Was this the '85-'98 version or was it older?
What you've posted is the "clean" version that was used from 1981 to 1985.

Thanks for getting rid of that scene
"You're watching JOTX, a flagship station of the TX Network, covering Tokyo and all suburban wards and certain surrounding prefectures."
If after WW2 ended, Japan became a US state. This happens.
ALSO the home of Pokémon and Naruto
Imagine seeing this in America for a Independent TV channel. Dang.
Would've been amazing

Christopher Bubb The version with the information about the station is definatly from the nineties.
@@itogi From '85-'98.
I remember someone wrote it on Wikipedia that they sign-off on Sundays.
I think this sign-on is actually pretty cool.
Yep, but it's really low quality. Shouldn't've uploaded it. If it had been a higher quality source that would've been better but what can I do?
@@NoEntertainment 360p is highst pixel.Other it can be remake or pump up the orgnal one.
This looks so ahead of its time (although the music REALLY aged badly), this ident would still look brand-new if someone actually makes a remake with modern 2D effects.
the music was modern and beautiful by 1981 standards, people were obsessed with futuristic artificial sounds back then. The less organic, the better.
@@gars129 I think the synth music in the sign-on/sign-off sequence is pretty cool. Seriously.
Okay, I will do it, Swift! Top! Top it off, Let's Go!
This was used for nearly 20 years.
wow what
With 3-4 versions of this. This one used until 1985.
Or 23 years
WAT? ThAt’S wHy ThErE aRe SoMaNy SeIsUrEs In JaPaN.
1981-1998
I'm kinda starting to wonder how this could be like with the current TV Tokyo logo.
Frequency (217.25-221.75 MHz) is at the similar range as
European and Asian channel 11 (217.25-222.75 MHz).
i wish i made something like this (even though im not japanese and have no cel paper). but i love the animation. sad they removed this off the airwaves. if only they still used it
今のテレ東のオープニングもいいぞ！
Didn't they remove this logo because of seizure risks?
これは泣ける。
This whole thing feels like an acid trip.
the same station that aired Boken! Gojirando, from 1992 - 1993.
Nice closedown .
wow it lasted long
2020 remake or 60th anniversary remake of that...plz
love it
this version of the ident lasted 6 years from 1981 to 1987
0:56 No. i heard this in one of your vids
I SEE BIRBS
*3d illusion*
here in Spain they change the idents when they are 2 or 3 years
In Thailand,some channels change idents every year.
A-PAB is a group of terrorists. A lot of countries do it.
What if that logo was ripped off?
I don't think it was ripped off. I haven't seen any logos that copied the animation or music...yet.
No. I meant like if PlayStation 2 GoAnimate MightyWolf TV mania 2002 made a logo that ripped off the music.
I don't quite know who that is...but I guess I'm not sure.
No. OK
No. I hope SLN! Media Group doesn't steal this.
