The hero of one of the world's most popular anime is back in a big way. Tsubasa Oozora and his friends are faces of limited edition of Italian cans Oransoda and Lemonsoda. Beside Captain Hawk (10) we can ejoy with his friends: Kojiro Hyuga (10), Genzo Wakabayashi (1), Jun Misugi (14) and Tachibana brothers: Masao i Kazuo (41). Producer of these beverages Davide Campari - Milano also released a web game called "Corri Holly, corri" ("Run Tsubasa, run"), in which we can play after clicking in this link: http://www.lemonsoda.it/corrihollycorri/.
In the game you play as one of the characters and you have to ... scroll the mouse. It sounds a bit funny, but record holders managed to achieve the result up to 360 km.
Limited cans with Tsubasa and team has been released to celebrate cult manga entitled "Captain Tsubasa", created by Yoichi Takahashi in 1981. It is also connected with the fact that Lemonsoda is the official sponsor of Milano Manga Festival.
In Poland Captain Hawk appeared for the first time in 1993 on Polonia 1 channel, emitting the terrestrial signal using several local stations. Serial received great popularity among children and youth and met with the re-issue at channel Polsat 2. Even greater recognition Captain Tsubasa reached in Italy, where to this day this anime is not, apparently, forgotten. Limited cans are bilateral and delight the eye by detailed graphics.
One year before the hero of Oransoda and Lemonsoda was Naruto Uzomaki and other heroes of Naruto anime.
In Poland the limited Oransoda and Lemonsoda cans are very hard to find. However you can hunt them down on online auctions (individually or in multi-packs of 24 pieces). You can find standard edition of the cans from time to time in some of press shops: Oransoda, Lemonsoda, Pinacoladasoda, Mojitosoda and Lemonsoda Zero (not available on picture). In Germany these cans can be found in Real market. The importer of beverages in Poland is Soft Drink from Rudna Mała.
For the first time Oransoda and Lemonsoda in cans appeared probably in the second half of eighties. Below you can find the presentation of three cans, produced in 1993/94.
On the one hand we can be happy from the fact that "bibita analcolica" went through sales in Poland. On the other it's quite a pity that Polish producers of beverage cans don't want in any way to celebrate native animated films or comics. A series of Kajko and Kokosz, Bolek and Lolek, Reksio, could become a sales hit.
At the end let's recall memorable times when every day at Polonia 1 "flew" Captain Hawk:
