Did you know that somewhere in the late 80s (1987-1989,) there was supposed to be one more official Care Bear cousin?
The Care Bear artist at the time “Elena Kucharik” was tasked by the “American Greetings” company to make one more Care Bear cousin, she ended up making a koala character, which had no symbol and was most likely female.
Tumblr media
This character must have been well received because a prototype plush was made for the character,
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Despite this however, the character never got to see the light of day, and was never released, it’s still unknown what happened to this toy product of the character,
However, eventually after many years the character was uncovered along with other unreleased material for many to see, including fans of the franchise,
the Care Bear related fandom taking notice of this character having no name, decided to give the new name “Glow Heart,” which much of the fandom still calls this character by.

At some point, crossovers between the JumpStart MMO and Scooby-Doo, Hasbro, and Sesame Street were conceptualized. Entire 3D enviroments with character models were created for these concepts, but for unknown reasons these areas were never formally released in the MMO. The images here come from an online portfolio belonging to Chris Williams, who was formerly a creative director at JumpStart. The images are all dated 2010 on his website.

Dave and Gini Ball, as Here To Go, by Mick Mercer, December 1985
The duo recorded an album with production by Mike Hedges (previously worked on Marc Almond's Vermin In Ermine and Stories of Johnny albums) which wasn't released due to conflict with recording studio, and no leaks of their material have ever occured either.

i can't stay silent any longer
i need to talk about this show. people need to know how bizarre this production is.
ok so this is idol x warrior miracle tunes
Tumblr media
youtube
this is the first entry in the girls x heroine franchise, a short-lived live action magical girl series. basic premise is these girls are idols but they're magical girls and have to rid the world of negativity. there are no fights, they transform, and automatically go into a final attack and it's like that for 51 episodes. came out in 2017 to middling reception but it did really well in its target audience (girls aged 2-6 years old) and with the idol crowd. enough to gain 4 more seasons before going on an indefinite hiatus.
first weird thing: it's directed by takeshi miike. an extremely prolific japanese director who's known for doing a Lot of shit. he has over 100 films under his belt and none of them are the same in terms of tone or genre. infamously, he has directed the horror film Audition, Ichi the Killer, the Ace Attorney movie and the JJBA DiU film.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
so needless to say the man has his toes in A Lot of different places. he's scary.
but miike is not why i wanted to talk about this. a lot of shows get dubbed and brought over to other countries, that's one thing and miracle tunes was no different, being brought over to Thailand, South Korea and China.
but how many shows are allowed to get full international adaptations and remakes? the same year that the original miracle tunes ended, 2018, there were reports that an english/international version was in the works because of how 'popular' it was in Japan. soon after, Mediterraneo Media, an Italian company, got their hands on the rights and began filming their adaptation. and so, this production became... the Italian Miracle Tunes remake.
Tumblr media
youtube
this is a nearly shot for shot, costume-for-costume remake of the entire 51 episode original show, down to the same plot beats and even keeping some of the same names while localizing others. think how power rangers adapts super sentai footage but everything is refilmed.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Example: the villain group in the original is named the "Doku-Doku Dan" (roughly translating to The Toxic Troupe). In the remake, they are still called the Doku-Doku Dan and there is no explanation for why as far as I can tell.
youtube
youtube
transformation sequence comparison here
Tumblr media Tumblr media
the remake had some cultural changes to it, being in italy now. the girls in both versions of the show get power-ups/form changes based on different genres of music (hip-hop, rock, and techno). In the Japanese version, the girls get an "Enka" themed power-up, while the Italian version has a "Flamenco" themed power-up.
youtube
youtube
the adaptation also had its own music, some which were semi-adaptations of the original j-pop songs, and some were original, all in italian of course. main difference being in the Japanese version, the girls sang their own songs since the show also acted as an idol group promotion tool. while in the italian version, all of these songs are not sung by the actresses. oh and there was a explicitly queer character in the japanese version that they made straight in the italian version. just. no reason. i guess. okay.
Tumblr media
ok so a random italian remake is. odd, but not out of the realm of possibility. but it gets weirder when you realize the entire show wasn't even originally italian the entire production was filmed in english (minus the song performances), and *then* dubbed in Italian. Looking at any clip of the Italian remake you will Immediately realize none of what they're saying syncs up with their lips. it's terrifying. (i can't really show you an example without just pasting a full episode, but if you look up miracle tunes italia and watch for a minute or two, you'll see what i mean.)
none of the english versions of these episodes exist anywhere, as far as i can tell. i don't know if it can be considered lost media, but it is unreleased media.
BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE
The Italian version of Miracle Tunes was also brought over to Greece and dubbed in Greek, almost fully. this exception being every single song was not the italian version, but a previously unreleased English version.
youtube
from what i know, there was an intention to eventually get an international release of miracle tunes in some capacity, hence the amount of english songs, marketing materials, and like The entire production of the show. but it hasn't materialized quite yet! anyways yeah hope you enjoyed by insane rambling of this weird rabbit hole of an adaptation.

The new bts photos from Race Service reminded me of these photos. It was clear they were filming something but the final product never made the light of day? I may be way off, it feels like a lot of the projects that we saw Daniel being involved in at the beginning of the year (including that tiny clip of him, Scotty and Blake recording that podcast) was just CAA’s way of testing the water and creating new media opportunities for him in case he never got back to racing?

Hello Lana fans! I need some extreme help, I managed to keep an archived vimeo on lana's Hawaiian Tropic, it's a fanmade video, but it has some clips of Lana that I want the fandom to keep & share. I love old clips and music videos of her and I think us fans would love to keep it preserved. Is there any place I can post this to safely like an archive?? Tysmm!

y’all, whatever you do, don’t think about if chay stops talking to kim when he finds out kim was lying to him. time passes and one day kim realizes chay is at one of his gigs so he plays the song chay wrote like in the mv and when the song is over their eyes meet and they stare but then chay walks away and kim drops his guitar to chase after him.
rookie mistake i just made a few minutes ago while listening to my jeff satur playlist.

I'm pretty much done (for now at least) with my list of matt and trey notable lost media that I promised I would do. Please note that it's far from all of them, and I absolutely could not have done this without the constant help of everyone in this fandom confirming what is or isn't lost and allowing me to learn along the way.
So ermm enjoy!! I put as much information as possible, hopefully this is useful for whoever wants to know more... I'll try to keep it updated and add more if I learn of more.

In January of 2019, JumpStart Academy Preschool and Kindergarten were released, and JumpStart Academy games for 1st through 5th grade were stated to be coming soon on the JumpStart website that same month. However, these games were never released, and it's unclear how far into development they got. A preview appeared in JumpStart Academy Kindergarten, most likely intended for JumpStart Academy 1st Grade, which depicted CJ standing in front of a Mayan temple, a “choose your own adventure” feature, and a board game inspired minigame.

The premier of the first song from the far too long-awaited Goodbye Susto album is set for this coming Saturday at 8 PM CET. Come hang out for a few minutes with us in the chat. This is kind of a big deal for me.
