I used to watch this video as a kid... and loved it.

Now of course I realize how trippy and odd it really is, so...

I'd love to see 'Run For Life'. It's the dubbed version of the Toei TV Special from 1981 called Run Melos. Any chance you could do a post on it?

Picked up that tape a while ago, but before that, I had this U-Matic tape I wasn't sure where it came from, but now I know thanks to Mike Toole's "Dubs That Time Forgot" last year!

$39.95? No wonder Tower Records went outta business.

Reminds me of a couple tapes I found of "Run for Life" and "Daddy Longlegs" that Mike Toole showed off in his "Dubs that time forgot" panel that had that price printed right on the covers! I can't imagine any parent paying $39.95 for an cartoon as boring as "Run for Life". :-)

it appears that iruka is a folk singer.

I noticed an "Iruka" was mentioned for providing the songs in the first Unico movie, but that was all I could find out of that.

$69.95? Who wanted that kind of money?

Then again, now that I think about it, back in the 80s that was the going price for a factory VHS tape.

Now you see why it was that DAMN important to make copies of these from the store! My mom learned that lesson WAY too early to buy a second VCR by '83! Buying anything but blanks was just unheard of for my mom at a time when they were pretty pricey.

so according to that link, iruka was a musician/music act who contributed 7 out of 10 tracks to the soundtrack -- which is likely the point of it. now whether the US songs are the japanese songs dubbed or original, i could not tell you. but i bet the credits of the US version can!

it appears that iruka is a folk singer.

guessing this was a vanity project gone awry, and then released in the US for no apparent reason. maybe iruka was popular with kids or something.
