I'll give it a bit and if I see the issue persists I may have to reupload. Otherwise, ty for your patience!!

Omg thank you so much for using and crediting my site!!! I haven’t finished the video yet, but do wanna give a shoutout to my friend @orangebratz who helped find those wallpapers featured on the site! I wish I had known sooner about the feature because I’m now friends with the owner of Bratz Mania and he gave me some insight about the Japanese site, but I haven’t had a chance to update those pages since there’s huge renovations happening on the site. 😅 I am still working on piecing some things together, but I may have found a few extra things to throw into the pile of CoooolTV evidence! I also was in the very early stages of potentially getting footage of the show, but it never panned out. 😢 I’m hoping we can get even more info on the series in the future! I’ve done so many deep dives and searches for crumbs of info! Can’t wait to finish the video and really appreciate you shouting out the site! And if any your viewers are using it, just wanna say there are HUGE updates happening very soon! 💜

heyyy BoA is actually a south korean singer-songwriter under SM Entertainment, it's common for k-pop idols to make japanese tracks especially for animes/television. (she also still makes music to this day!)

Screamin at Sasha and Jade's character bios- NOT JADE WANTING GORE

The mere thought of Cloe exclaiming "JESUS!" cracks me up 😭

8:40 BoA is actually South Korean but was very popular in Japan!

Wow, something I can help with, slightly. (No, sadly I have no recordings.) So, back in 2003 I was a 20 year old, recently married, and about to have my first son, but I still kept in contact with a lot of my Japanese friends thanks to this new fangled "internet" thing. My friend (whom has requested anonymity, sorry) was (and is) a huge doll person, like myself. Basically these episodes were like weekly bumpers played on (oddly) late night MTV. The Bratz were essentially American tourists doing Japanese things. Hence the Zen temple (where, yes, most of the girls prayed to be thinner, it was the early 2000's...) the swimming pool in the blue school swimsuit (anyone who's watched any anime knows exactly the one I'm talking about) and the music video, which I believe got the most replay due to being attached to BOA. So, the weird late night slot and early cancellation thing: Parent groups. Essentially a PTA, but on steroids. Japanese trad-moms HATED these dolls, and heavily petitioned against anything that had to do with them in fairly intense letter writing campaigns. They didn't want "foreigner" dolls "mocking" Japanese traditions. Japan did not need to be "cool". Yes, really. I don't think the rickshaw episode ever aired, but to be fair I was kind of giving birth back in the States at the time (my son was born on the 10th that September). So, despite forcing the channel to play the bumpers on late night TV, that didn't stop older kids (and some adult men) from recording and sharing them on said new fangled internet. These "concerned parents" weren't happy about that. The show was canceled, links containing the episodes were copyright struck, and the website was just sort of allowed to die. And no, I'm not saying any of this in a "Japan is bad" sort of way. I love Japan and I can't wait to visit my friends again in hopefully a couple more years (we try to meet up every 10 years or so). Just remember, every country has intolerant people and sadly the Bratz' Coool TV bumpers were just one of their casualties. (If you'd like some funny insight into these "campaigns" you should watch Gintama. The actors regularly break the fourth wall to bitch about these parents harassing the Sunrise studio.) Not MUCH help, I know, but at least I can confirm they're real and that I've seen 3 of them. As for the missing VA I think she may have been voiced by a guest every week, but don't quote me on that, it has been 20 years and it possible she was just swapped out for a different actress after episode 2. Great work as always, Raymona! 🤗

something about Cloe's favorite phrase being "JESUS" is just so funny to me

27:09 that mumble after Sasha's description😏

The "confusion" as to why many Bratz fans are unsure if the stop-motion has anything to do with Coool TV comes from the fact many old Bratz fans remember (including myself) the video appearing on the official American website a few months before Bratz launched in Japan. The video could be seen on a Bratz Cinema section of the website, listed as a "game". Back in that time, the Website was set up to show a little Bratz World with games. If you won the Cinema game, you got to see the video. It was just a promo video that was launched globally, honestly, from the USA website. This is why some Bratz fans aren't sure if it was promo. It may have inspired the Japanese series, though.

Holy shit that Sasha description! My ribs hurt from the reaction

Gosh, I had NO idea BoA made music for the Bratz dolls!! What an insightful and well-made video (as usual!) Definitely took me on a journey! Had a great time providing my voice a bit as well! 💚

That’s a criminally low view count for such a high quality video & that intro had me shook, nice work

27:10 I thought I was tripping when I started reading this?? I started crackin up when you were mumbling under your breath 😭. Another great video from you Ray!! I hope you are able to uncover this case. I remember seeing something about this a few months back and the person talking about it mentioned the singers who made songs for it and I was like "CHRISTINA MILLIAN?? BOA???? BACKSTREET BOYS???"

Thank you for using the Bratz Wiki 💚 It's been a long time since anyone edited that page and we are a small team so keeping it up to date has been a struggle. I will work on adding sources for the rest of the images on the page. I do have them all bookmarked as well as some more information I need to upload.

I love it whenever Ray Mona uploads a new lost media video.

27:10 girl what did you sayyyyy😭😭

Oh my god, the amount of research done on this video is absolutely incredible! Well done, Raven!! CoooolTV is one of my personal holy grails when it comes to lost media. I had never heard of it until a few years ago, when I saw a section on Lookin' Bratz about it! I'm really hoping it will be found soon, and with this documentary, that might happen eventually. Also, Cloe being a former Miss Ohio contestant is so trippy to me as an Ohioan myself😆

What's funny is that Takara and Tomy would merge in 2005, so MGA technically worked with the same company😂!

I literally dropped everything I was doing when I got the notification. New Ray Mona Day is a good day 💪🏾

Years ago I discovered the existence of "Bratz cool TV" and I'm excited, I've been listening to K pop since I was 11 years old and I've been collecting dolls since I was 18, knowing that the episodes were inaccessible intrigued me a lot and he took me to investigate in Nico Nico douga (the so-called Japanese YT) I didn't find anything about Bratz, I just found out that a Japanese Pop rock band by the name "Brats on B" existed in the 90s, I think that would explain why the dolls were called "Cool Bratz" and not just Bratz how in the West and the rest of the world

Why does lost media discussion videos always make me feel a underlying dread despite the subject matter

Please please please do one of these investigations into the Bratz Boyz Twiins dolls! I know it’s not media, but these dolls are literally impossible and I mean impossible to find anywhere even in used conditions. And there’s so much mystery as to when and where they were released or if they even were released. I seriously need to know and no one can ever give me a definite answer. If there’s anyone who can find out it’s you!

This isn't about cool tv but I really love all the transitions between sections in your videos. I watch longer videos in chunks so the transitions always put me in the right mood to watch.

I've been hyperfixating on dolls this past while so IM SO GLAD youre making a video on bratz lost media, your upload are always what i wait for

8:40 BoA is a **South Korean** singer 9:44 This show first aired in 2005

I just wanted to add one more note, as I don't remember if its mentioned in the vid, but the single by BOA was used as the title screen music for Bratz Rock Angelz on the GBA. Also, interesting that there's allegedly a Japanese dub of the 2004 series. This is news to me, and I've never heard of any refrence of this till now. I'm guessing this is also lost media..

Im so glad that you covered this lost media! Its really good to see the lengths you go too for research and information. As a long time Bratz fan you did an awesome job!!!

(This comment is not hate! I loved the video and just wanted to be of help as someone who is knowledgeable about Japanese culture) A helpful tip for this investigation and for future investigations that might lead you to Japanese individuals. Japanese seiyuu (voice actor) culture is completely different from the Western industry. Seiyuu very rarely speak individually to their fans, or respond to inquiries such as yours. The goal is to keep all fans feeling equal with each other, in order to maintain that personal relationship with the fan base, as fans become very territorial over the celebrities. While many agencies allow fan letters to be sent to the voice actors, this is a one way communication. It's frowned upon for them to speak directly to individual fans on social media as well. Similarly, copyright law and the Japanese equivalent of an nda are extremely strict in Japan, so many individuals will not speak about their past projects in unofficial ways, such as to a youtuber or journalist such as yourself. I feel for you, as this is a hard topic to research, especially going into another culture. If you run into issues with the language barrier again, I recommend reaching out to the lost media community, or even your own subscribers. Many people who speak Japanese and English would probably be willing to help you.

It should've been ブラッツ: ハングアウトに行きましょう! (Bratz: Let's Go Hangout!)

OMG I can't even believe that she read my comment and made a video about it! 😮🎉❤

Please do a video on the lost Winx Club pilot from 1999 called Magic Bloom!! I’ve never seen anyone search for it and you’d be the perfect person to try!! Plus I love Winx AND your channel :)😊

Her voice, HER VOICE, ❤❤❤ my ears are in heaven.

Just passing by to say thanks for passing by my French coverage of your amazing discoveriues, you belong in a museum yourself !

I always loved Bratz and J-pop, so when I was younger and found out that BoA/Bratz had a collab always had me baffled since I thought it was so random, so to find out that it was part of a whole campaign push for the Bratz in Japan is a new revelation. Now when can we get Show me what you got on streaming! That song is a bop!

the doll community thanks you

I swear, everytime you upload I get a high that lasts for an entire week. Thank you so much for all of the hardwork and effort you put in your documentaries. We needed someone like you in the lost media community , girls media isn't talked about enough

I've been blasting Show Me What You Got (Boa, Bratz, and Howie from Backstreet Boys) waiting for this

It was very interesting to see the research you conducted. Congratulations on another good job.

I know for the English cartoons, movies? Tia or Tamera from Sister Sister did voice one of the characters I saw on a VH1 where are they now. I don't think neither of them were involved in the Japanese version. Good luck with the reaserch though.

The best way to start talking about lost media : quoting 18th century french philosophers. Never change, Mona :D

I've known about this for about a year, but didn't bother to find it myself. I'm glad you're covering this! I was really hardcore into Bratz as a kid so this means quite a lot to me!

Another masterpiece 🍿

As I recently watched a huge deep dive into Bratz you come out with this

Another great one Ray! This is so fascinating. Had no idea Bratz were even released in Japan!

It's always a treat when Ray Mona uploads ✨

Yes! A new Ray Mona video to cheer my day up!

That intro music always bops

i want to say thank you so for putting so much effort into this & helping to archive this precious information that so many don't give af about i watched this so happily think about all the time & savvy that provided us with this & again want to thank you i have a bunch of fun ideas now , when i get the line of dolls they used to promote in japan or duplicates of things like funk 'n glow i can treat them as multiverse bratz who didn't stay in stilesville but decided to go abroad to japan as a j-pop act & you've taught me so much about researching for things i would absolutely love like using the wayback machine to find pristine images of all the niche things i like that aren't documented like photoshoots , stock photos , album cover arts i saw you post this on twitter & saved it immediately & now that it popped up on my reccomended i knew it was time hehe , i didn't know you were the great detective that brought us the lost saban moon pilot & i finally will now tune in for that since that's another beloved media of mine again but i have to thank you one more time for making this video i care so much about dolls & the lost history that many don't think twice about to archive & i wish you the absolute best

IMMEDIATELY clearing my schedule for this as we speak!

Godddddddd this is so high quality!!! You are no doubt going to become huge one day. Good work. ♥

AAAAAAAAA I’m mainly a Bratz collector, and is more interested in art and doll collecting in general. But lost media is definitely a guilty pleasure for me! It’s so nice to see a combination of two of my favorite things merged together! ^^

BOA is korean btw, not japanese! just a small correction

I think there is always hope 🙏💕

So glad ur talking about this!! I’ve been intrigued by it ever since I discovered it existed!

Hey Ray! Do you think you'd ever do an episode on the Wonder Woman and the Star Riders cartoon? It was a cancelled TV special, but I've seen some character guides and screenshots floating around and I've been wondering how much animation from the project was actually finished...

Not you single-handedly rejuvenated lost media lmfao

Ray Mona you have done it again you have found another lost media

I love your lost media video series. Watching this I can't help but feel the footage must be out there somewhere maybe even hidden in plain sight in an old tv bumper/commercial compilation video. Hopefully, Japanese fans will have something and we'll have a part 2 very soon!

Your documentaries are always so fun, well researched and just incredibly well edited I always look forward to everything you put out! Thank you so much for all the hard work you do!

ooh brats of the lost nebula reference🫶😭

Your work is amazing! Your videos are sooo good and thanks for getting more attention to this lost Bratz show! Hopefully we'll be able to see full episodes in the future! :)

this channel is fastly becoming my fave 😊

As a bratz fan, this makes me so happy. I loved the retellings

BABE WAKE UP NEW RAY MONA VID JUST DROPPED

I always get so excited when I see a new Ray Mona video has been released! Thank you for the sparks of joy that you bring to our lives!

morning musume and BOA yes! my favorite 😄

Finally got the time to spare for this Lost Media vid! And man, such an interesting thing to know about. Never got the appeal of Bratz (obviously b/c Imma dude) but good on them for becoming a big contender for dolls next to Barbie. Never knew Japan tried to get in on the market with this toyline, let alone a stop-motion show.

I love that BoA and Verbal were featured on separate tracks. The two of them have collaborated multiple times with Verbal’s group m-flo.

The bratz series actually premiered in 2005!

that chocolate bar with Bratz as an ad looks really yummy

Excellent as usual, Ray! I can't wait for the next part. 😊

Your investigation is amazing, I really like your videos ☆

oh i am SEATED BABE, LETS GO FOR THE DOLLS!!

Honey get up a new Ray Mona Video is up!!

and when we needed her most, she returned…

41:14 "Beauty is only for a moment." Indeed it is. I guess I learned something from a Bratz doll? A confirmation of what's known? Oddly enough, I don't know. Either way, I wasn't expecting to hear something like that from a fashion doll cartoon. I mean, we don't really know if she really says that in the show, but it would be weird if she did say that.

I. AM. SUPRISED THAT YOU WOULD WANT TO TACKLE THIS TOPIC RAY- and personally I feel like this is impossible since the first ever tv series of bratz (cooooltv) being set in japan which is notorious for causing lost media back then and probably now.. but I really hope everything goes well for you in your journey though!! I'm not sure if you would make it since I didn't fully watched the video rn bit Goodluck out there ray! GO QUEEN 👑✨

thought BoA was South Korean. I used to see her appear a lot on 2 different Korean Top 10 music video shows in the late 90s & early 00s.

"Bratz of the Lost Media". I feel like that's a reference to a forgotten Jim Henson puppet show called "Bratz of the Lost Nebula". Only those who watch YTV in Canada in the late 90's such as yourself would get that. If it is, Awesome. You would be one of very few people like myself who would remember that show.

Ah. The queen of finding lost media has returned

Once again loving your lost media videos! Your investigations are always super thorough and your video editing is top notch. I’m not a fan of dolls but I’m always all for lost media being found, so here’s hoping this will kickstart some new discoveries!

SHE IS UNSTOPPABLE!!!

that sasha description oouuh... 😭

was about to go to sleep not anymore

Your video never disappoints! I still own the Bratz albums (guilty)

With how Bratz are a big deal again, I feel it's only a matter of time before more information comes out about coool TV! Great job Mona 💕

cant see that title as anything other than a reference to bratz of the nebula hahaha

Sounds like there was a lot of pandering to the Japanese market with this cartoon series. I doubt it would have been something they'd bother translating for the overseas market. Reminds me of the TMNT 87 episodes where they went to various locations in Europe specifically to pander to those markets, except those were made in English first to later be part of the American series broadcasts. Just several years later on a cable network. Anyway, it sounds like these were short episodes that SHOULD have been put directly on a Japanese webpage advertising the dolls instead or along side of the TV airings. Had a mainstream, KZfaq like video page existed back then, that would have been the place to put it to get the eyeballs they needed. Not that it couldn't still effectively become lost, but the odd timeslots did doom the series and a secondary viewing space would have at least garnered more recollections.

Was so fun to watch/listen to while working tonight! Just finished and wow!!! I really hope some more info can come forth soon from other sources :D

I had one of the plush foxes they put out. It was the blue one with the black paws and tail tip. I really need to get one again.

Babe wake up ray mona uploaded!

You changed your username and I've been missing out on your content 😭

I am huge fan of Bratz since I was younger

Ooh Mindsweeper that's a vintage reference!

YAY RAY'S BACK!!!

Morning Musume is my favorite Idol group

Rayray is back 😊

I'm not sure if it's something wrong with my end but I'm not getting any sound! I'm so excited for this tho!! Bratz!!!

meygan not being included is somehow worse than the entire series being lost
