Denkou Choujin Gridman
Denkou Choujin Gridman (電光超人グリッドマン, Lightning Superman Gridman), is a Japanese tokusatsu "Giant Hero" series created by Tsuburaya Productions, the producers of Ultraman. The show ran from 1993 to 1994. It was the inspiration and source material for DiC Entertainment's Superhuman Samurai Syber-Squad. This would be Tsuburaya's last non-Ultra superhero production before Bio Planet WoO.
Shot on live video, Gridman was the first series by Tsuburaya Productions to utilize D-2 digital video for its special effects scenes, allowing for smoother slow-motion photography. Tsuburaya, having switched to digital techniques since then, would continue to use D-2 for all future productions.
Story
Three computer-savvy kids, Naoto, Yuka and Ippei create their own videogame super-hero, but then discover it possessed by an inter-dimensional police officer, Gridman. Pursuing an evil program called Kahn Digifer, he merges with Naoto and fights Kahn Digifer's digitized monsters (created by social misfit Takeshi) in order to prevent the computerized demon from wreaking havoc on the Human World.

Sleepless World
by: CardamonWe refuse to comply
To how all others live and die
We won't be swallowed by the grey
Living life to fade away
Day turns into night unnoticed
As we try to own our mind
And the only thing awake with us
Is the clock that ticks away time
Chorus:
Seeking solitude with our kind
All bounderies undermined
Wandering through the night unheard
We belong to the sleepless world
While the others rest in peace
We free ourselves from the disease
To run away from all regret
We come to life when light is dead
We refuse to be part
Of the ones drained from the start
Cause for them all there is
Is chasing after what's meaningless
So the others should just stay away
Do the same thing every day
Without asking questions anyway
We carry on 'till time has past
Chorus
We are drawn to the night
While everybody's running...
Chorus
