Since the official ones are hard to find and kinda expensive to import, I asked to make these ones.

Months ago, I made a post asking about the Brazilian Portuguese version of Hi Hi song, due to its duration being very similar to the complete version of the English version of Hi Hi, so I wanted to know if it had the translated lyrics (for portuguese) for this song.

I played this version, and it really was extended like the English version, but... It just repeated the English lyrics from the extended part. Haha. 😅 At least I know the secret.

Additional information: It looks like the HBO Max version of the brazilian portuguese episodes has a different cut for the opening compared to the airing on TV. The HBO version have "Anything is possible" instead of "Nada é impossível" (the song says "Nada é impossível" twice, but the first time it says "Anything is possible" on the HBO Max version). And from the CD, the Brazilian version apparently has the exact quirk. From this, it's possible that, somehow, who was managing the audios didn't have the original recording of the TV version, so they grabbed the complete version to have the proper ending of the song.

I was thinking on how Ami and Yumi met Kaz.

If you search for the ages of the (animated) Ami and Yumi, you will see that they are teenagers (Ami has 16 or something), according to wiki, despite the show not revealing it. It make sense considering their life style, as literal teenagers dreams for fame and all

Then, I thought on the possibility of Ami and Yumi, in their young ages, lefting their homes in order to pursue their dreams of being rock stars. But no serious manager wanted to agency two teenage girls. Then, Kaz, who wasn't exactly a good and prestigious manager, saw on them a opportunity to make money, since they are teenagers, they just want the fame, play in a band around the world, and not having experiences or maturity that would make them fight for better conditions, which is why Ami and Yumi get small payments from the shows.

There's a scene from the special where Numbuh 1 fights against his friends when they were transformed into old zombies.

To Numbuh 4, he says something like "Do you remember when I scared the bullies from you?".

To Numbuh 2, he said he was his best friend.

To Numbuh 5, he said she was the reason he joined KND.

To Numbuh 3, he just said "Numbuh 3..." and didn't added anything after it.

I could imagine him saying something like: "You may look docile, but your fury is essential against the adults." Because I have a head cannon where Numbuh 3 was accepted into KND due to her air head personality and hyper focus on some things, like Rainbow Monkeys, and Numbuh 1 and Numbuh 5 saw in her a great weapon to fool the enemies since Numbuh 3 can be useful when she's focused and angry.

Anyway, it's funny that Numbuh 1 didn't say something to her.

Initially, I thought it was a motivational message, but I realized it was a line from the PT-BR opening of the show, specifically from the "Anything is possible'". Noting that this line isn't an exactly direct translation of the original line.

"Nada é impossível" means "Nothing is impossible". It's common for dubs not translating exactly the words from the original, whether for better fitting in the time of saying/singing that part, or for better sounding.

You may heard about the "It's over 9000!" line/meme from Dragon Ball Z, which people usually thinks the reason of the change from "8000" is that "9000" sounded better in English, at least for the translation crew/actor that was making the English version at the time.

If you only considers the first episodes (and the pilot that had these characters as... Secondary characters?), you could just think: "Heh, KND in only them."

Then, the series expands, but it kinda expands as it needed to tell a story. So, there are some elements that doesn't attach each other too well for me. Like, what's the reason behind Nigel being Numbuh 1 (besides >!his father being Numbuh Zero!<), but the main operations being on the moon ran by Numbers with 2 or 3 decimals? Still, Numbuh 1 and Sector V have a legendary status.

Or even... We have back stories for Numbuh 1 (kinda seem in an episode where shows him being evaluated) and Numbuh 5 having a backstory with her sister Cree when the older sister was from KND. What about Numbuh 2, 3 and 4? For Numbuh 3, she only had an episode where quick shots of her younger until she gets accepted by KND, only to basis an episode where an old toy of her get too old.

If the original video break the rules, no problem taking my edit down too.
