Kobayashi Excel and Hyatt Mikako are seen only a few times in the anime.
In one episode, Kobayashi Excel and Hyatt Mikako knock over Il Palazzo's dominoes (which he had painstakingly set up all episode long), and then they laugh about it as Il Palazzo tries to save some of his domino.
They do this because Il Palazzo keeps getting in their way, while Kobayashi Excel and Hyatt Mikako act as announcers for a game show that Excel and Hyatt are on.
The extras inside the DVD include Chapter F, interview with TakahashiMikako (Yamada Ayumi) and Kamiya Hiroshi (Takemoto Yuuta), a preview image for Chapter F, and image gallery.
The funniest part of the interview is when TakahashiMikako and Kamiya Hiroshi realise that the two of them and Sugita Tomokazu are the only ones who always get to deliver monologues on the show.
On the other hand, TakahashiMikako knew right from the start that she wanted to voice Yamada.
However, these similarities aren't bad, even if they are more than my imagination, but rather they add a nice touch of familiarity to a collection of songs that I enjoy anyway.
Aside from the rock-themed tunes, some are softer and slower, such as 'All I Need is Your Smile', by Kosei Asami, and a longer version of Noel's (MikakoTakahashi's) 'ANGE', with participation from the Island children.
There are thirteen tracks on the disc, and they're all vocal tracks from the show.
When the robot, May (Maria Yamamoto), arrives, Kayuza is somewhat disconcerted to find she's only 12 inches tall.
His new robot soon falls in love with him, as does his sexy neighbor Kasumi (MikakoTakahashi), intellectual Kei and Cyberdine delivery/collections woman Sala (Kyoko Hikama).
Over the space of ten episodes (plus an eleventh denoted as a 'movie'), the robotic world and the human world overlap to a significant extent, fueled by the human-like robots of Cyberdine and the machinations of wealthy and spoiled Nanbara Kotaro (Yugi Ueda) to obtain May for his own.
