Hey gang,

I'm not sure whether this has been posted before.
I lately came across these Youtube-vids showing Tezuka Sensei at a presentation in 1983.
Unfortunately the audio is in japanese only, nonetheless Tezuka's charisma alone makes up for the lack of understanding what's being said:

Osamu Tezuka 1983 (Part 1)

Osamu Tezuka 1983 (Part 2)

My favourite part is the one with him interacting with Atom in the 1st vid.

Wow, that's great. Nice find. It reminds me of how Walt Disney used to do the same thing with HIS characters. I'd really like to know what he was saying to Atom though

ASTRO IS SOOO CUTE WHEN HE WAS ALL SHY!!!!!!!!!!!!! ^///^ OH I REALLY CRUSHING ON ASTRO HARD!!!!! I WANNA TELL HIM MY FEELINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is SO cool. I can only understand a little. We need subtitles, stat!

Sayonara.

I agree. Thanks for sharing!

I adore the part where he draws Princess Sapphire in the middle of part 2.

I love all the characters. It was great to see Tezuka interacting with Astro also.

Thank you for sharing these links.

Thanks Strange Wings, they're very interesting.

The 3rd and final part of the 1983's Tezuka TV Special has been put up a few weeks ago:

Osamu Tezuka 1983 (Part 3)

Check out Atom speaking to Tezuka-San at 5:39.

At 6:39 you can watch Tezuka singing the Astroboy opening theme, joined by a group of choir kids during the song.
