Today is June 23th, the day that Sonic the Hedgehog 1 made its debut for the Sega Genesis in 1991 in the U.S. It's Sonic's birthday!! 19 years old, he is! Damn, he's getting older. Anyway, as a huge Sonic fan, I am working on a special video in his honor, but at this point, it'll probably be up tomorrow. Better late than never, I always say! I'll post it here, as well as on my YouTube channel obviously, and maybe even my Veoh account. But, here's to 19 years for our favorite blue speedy hedgehog!
We have scans of the new Rider after Double, and his name is... OOO!
The logo looks really cool. Very 555 like. Plus, it says Kamen Rider in the subtitle, as it did with Double. Looks like Toei is keeping it like that. I prefer that anyway.
And the suit? Awesome! I liked Double's suit better, but this looks cool too. And with all the info that has been released, it'll make much sense. So, yeah, OOO is the new Kamen Rider. Even though I don't know the exact date, it'll probably premiere in September because that's when Double will end. So, yeah. I wonder how OOO will do. After, many people think that Double was HUGE step in the right direction for the series. Still, I like all the KR series I've seen.
Soon, OOO will come to airwaves. And judging by the scans, he'll probably appear in the upcoming Double movie, since they're both fighting the Luna Dopant, which is in the movie. So, yeah. Can't wait for it!
Here's a quick note: The "Special Showcase" for this week has been pushed back a week because I've been so busy, I couldn't finish it. So, here's a regular one.
Here's a Toku song that I've discovered recently. It's the opening to the Toku Series called Choukou Senshi Changéríon. I know that most of you might not have even heard of this. Mostly because of the fact that it aired in 1996 and it was canceled after 39 episodes out of the planned 52 due to low ratings. What was the show about? I'm not entirely sure. But I found a picture of the hero.
Did you know that the hero was played by Takashi Hagino? You know, Takeshi Asakura AKA Kamen Rider Ohja from Ryuki.
Well, anyway, this show had a theme song called OVER THE TIMES ~Ima o Koete~. It was performed by someone named MISA, which I don't know much about either. Well, here it is.
I just love the vocals in this song. Plus, I absolutely love the music. It may not be fast paced, but it gets pretty hardcore. Not punk rock hardcore, but it's something that can stick in your head. It's one of those times when you only know the refrain to a certain song. Because that part is the best part of the song, it sticks in your head the most. That's the kind of thing I feel with this. I really do like this song. As for the show, I haven't seen any episodes. They're probably not even subbed. Then again, who would sub a canceled series? But, yeah, that's the Showcase for this week.
This week for the Toku Music Showcase, we have one of the ending themes to Kamen Rider Double called Finger on the Trigger. I've been listening to it quite a few times and out of all the ending themes of the show, this is my favorite. Here it is.
The reason I like this song is because of the rapping parts and all of the engrish you hear. But, I like it even better when Shotaro and Philip sang it in Episode 23. Plus, the music is awesome as well. Overall, I love it.
So, that's the Toku Music Showcase for this week. Next week, I got a very special Showcase. Look forward to it!
I just got out of school today, and I couldn't be happier!!! After the all the bullsh*t that I've been through over the past year, it's over!! This calls for a celebration!
Now, I'm going to play video games all day. Tomorrow, I'm going to a job interview. The rest? Relaxation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
