Kids Sci-Fi Series from the 80s

I'm trying to remember the name of a kids sci-fi series that was on after school in the 80s. I think it was on PBS, but might have been a BBC production. All I can remember is that it featured two kids trying to unravel some kind of complex mystery about some crystals and foreign/alien objects. And that the climax was inside a volcano or mountain in Hawaii or something like that, and that there were these huge alien creatures at the end that resembled huge slugs buried inside the mountain. Anyone recognize what I'm thinking of? Not a dog 01:50, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Chocky ? - X201 11:29, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm trying to remember the name of a similar-sounding program from the 80s or 90s. About two kids who have a pink/red and a blue stone with which they have to do something before a comet crashes into earth. The story also features slug creatures that look like heaps of garbage and is set mostly underground, though definitely not on Hawaii. It may have been Australian, but that's just a guess based on the other programs the channel I saw it on bought at the time. - Mgm|^(talk) 11:36, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Both of you appear to be describing Under the Mountain - Joe King 17:33, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That's it! Thanks! And I just found episodes on Google Video! Not a dog 23:31, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I can't be sure until I am able to check it on Google Video, but from my initial browse, it appears Joe King solved a longstanding question of mine. - Mgm|^(talk) 08:04, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What is Shueisha's e-mail address?

On Shueisha's site, I got to the inquiry page. But I saw numbrs. What is their e-mail address?

According to the Shueisha article, Shueisha is a division of Shogakukan. I would browse around the Shogakukan website. -Haikon 05:49, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wii commercials

Rather obscure to be placed under the "Entertainment" category, but oh well. In the commercials for the Wii, there are two Japanese men driving around and playing with the Wii with random families they visit. I'm pretty sure one of them is Shigeru Miyamoto, but who is the other guy?--the ninth bright shiner ^talk 04:28, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's not Miyamoto. Adverts are here [1] if anyone wants to help. - X201 11:25, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I suspect they're both actors, same as everyone else in those adverts. If they were development staff, that's the sort of detail fan sites all over the world would have jumped on with glee, but Google yields no traces of them. Spiral Wave 11:40, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Talking about that same ad, what's that car they drive? Corvus cornix 02:28, 3 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's a Smart car; more specifically, the article says it's a Fortwo. Spiral Wave 07:54, 3 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Cool! :) Corvus cornix 19:38, 3 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What's the name of the song in those commercials? I know it's by Agatsuma but that's all I know. @_X 24.18.6.204 17:22, 6 April 2007 (UTC) (CXK)[reply]

According to Wii, the music in the ads is from the song "Kodo (Inside the Sun Remix)" by the Yoshida Brothers. --Kusunose 02:04, 9 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The guy looked a bit like Miyamoto, but oh well. I was under the assumption that some Nintendo officials would be in the commercials, but apparently not.--the ninth bright shiner ^talk 02:32, 8 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
