As "another story" set after the end of the original manga, this what-if "Return" plot depicts what happens to the title character after his final act to save Earth. After drifting in space, the robot boy is rescued by the three members of ravex, and he is miraculously revived — not by Tezuka's Black Jack surgeon character, but by "Space Jack." The newly evolved robot boy will be named "Ratom." The Princess Knight and other Tezuka characters will appear in this all-new story. Musical artists BoA, Maki Goto, Anna Tsuchiya, Tohoshinki, and TRF are contributing to the album, and an event is planned at Tokyo's National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation on April 10. The album marks Avex's 20th anniversary and what would have been Tezuka's 80th birthday.

Where it came from
Ravex in Tezuka World was released in 2009 as a collaborative project between the electronic dance music collective Ravex—comprised of producers Shinichi Osawa, Tomoyuki Tanaka, and Taku Takahashi—and the legendary animation studio Tezuka Productions. The production was conceived to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Avex label and served as a visual showcase for the Ravex album 'Trax,' integrating the label's dance tracks with the iconic character designs of Osamu Tezuka.
The animation features a series of short vignettes that reimagine classic Tezuka characters, such as Astro Boy, Black Jack, and Kimba the White Lion, placed within a contemporary, club-inspired aesthetic. The project was designed as a high-concept fusion of Japanese pop culture pillars, blending electronic music sensibilities with the nostalgic visual language of the 'God of Manga.' Upon its release, it was received as a stylish, experimental curiosity that highlighted the ongoing cultural influence of Tezuka's legacy in the digital age.
