English dub: Alliance Atlantis, CBBC, Fox Kids/Jetix Europe In September 2001, during voice production of the episode "Doraemon's Day Off", there was a horrible incident where a voice director horribly beat up Michael after he forgot some of his lines. This caused him to cry and he started to go on a foul-mouthed tirade, before telling the rest of the cast and crew that he'll never return. After Michael's rant was over and he left, Fox Kids Europe quickly hired an unknown male voice actor in his late 20's to finish voice acting in the episode. The unknown voice actor was the remaining voice actor to voice Nobu in this dub before it's ending. Successor: Unknown |

Due to the dark tone of the song and the frightened, high-pitched tone of Michael E. Rodgers' voice, a rerecorded version with a more tamer and cleaner tone of the lyrics and a more cartoonish tone of Michael's voice was used when Jetix Europe reaired the anime. |
1999 | Makin' Some Chocolate (Mix it Up) | A song included in the soundtrack of the Fox Kids Europe English dub of Ninja Hattori.
Featuring Tabatha St. Germain (voice of Hattori), Gideon Emery (voice of Kenny (Kenichi)), Matt Winkinston (voice of Kemuzo Kentoto (Kemuzo Kekumaki)), and Jillian Michaels (voice of Sneek (Kagechiyo)) A live action/animated music video starring Michael E.

2000 | The End is Near | A song for the controversal Bollywood film The End of the WorldThis song was recorded in Hindi, English, French, Arabic, and Urdu
This song and the music video was banned after the first screening due to frightening references to "the end of the world" and due to the suggesstive atmosphere of the music video. Another reason for the ban is because of Michael's dramatic breakdown at the end of the video. The CBFC has gace the music video an A rating due to "Suggestive Material and Horror", while the BBFC gave the music video a 12 rating for "Suggestive Themes". |
2000 | It Must be Magic | An unreleased cover that was supposed to be on the soundtrack to Thomas and the Magic Railroad and the UK soundtrack to Detective Conan: Captured in Her Eyes.

This song is a pop cover of the song of the same name by an unknown artist. |
