!? My comments

When I saw Albet Hall for the first time, I though he looked like a Japanese famous comedian IKARIYA Chosuke, who is the leader of a comedian group "The Drifters". The Drifters acted as a curtain raiser when The Beatles gave their first performance in Japan on June, 1966. The Drifters started a TV program named "Hachiji-dayo, Zen-in Shu-go" or "Fall in! It's 8 o'clock." on October, 1969. It was one hour program that started at eight o'clock every Sunday. It registered an average TV viewer rate in excess of 30 % over a period of ten years, although it was receiving a strict protest against its contents from Parent-Teacher Associations. Return to our subject, Albert Hall's dubber IKEDA Masaru also looks like The Drifters' leader. You can see The Drifters in thier web site Izawa Office.

The below list is a work in progress. I have made every effort to accurately create this list. If you notice anything that is written incorrectly or is to be added, please let me know and I will post an update. Your impressions and comments, regardless of your knowledge of the dubber's voice, are also welcome.
