Japanese Navy Mitsubishi J2M Raiden 'Jack' (video remastered)

The Mitsubishi J2M Raiden ("Thunderbolt") is a single-engined land-based fighter aircraft used by the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service in World War II. The Allied reporting name was "Jack".
The J2M was designed by Jiro Horikoshi, creator of the A6M Zero. It was to be a strictly local-defense interceptor, intended to counter the threat of high-altitude bomber raids, and thus relied on speed, climb performance, and armament at the expense of manoeuvrability.

Curious, what's remastered about this? Looks like lower quality footage than whats available ta NHK.

It's a better quality than the first video published here. If you have better footages, please share with us.

[@vmoney9106]

Exactly. I have a version other than the one at NHK that is much better than this
