Kamen Rider Dragon Knight Won the Daytime Emmy

No, your eyes don't deceive you. KRDK WON the Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Stunt Coordination. As stated here, it says that. Steve Wang had posted his response to this.

"Kamen Rider Dragon Knight won the day-time Emmy for Outstanding Stunt Coordination!!! Congratulations to our Stunt Coordinator Dorenda Moore for her 'outstanding' contributions and our Acting Director Yuji Noguchi and our incredibly talented Stunt Performers for a fantastic job well done! GO TEAM DRAGON KNIGHT!!!"

I know. I'm surprised too. I'm also impressed. I'm also kinda glad. But yet, I am a bit frightened. Why? I don't know. It kinda just scares me.

Well anyway, congrats to KRDK!!

Power Rangers Empire

Power Rangers Empire is a revival of a Power Rangers forum that was closed down awhile ago, but now it's made a comeback. I did not create this this forum, however. But I am a Staff Member, not a Mod, a Staff Member, under the name I use here, CycloneJoker.

Now, I know that a new kind of board like this goes nowhere. But, there are many members. The forum opened about a week ago, and it has about 80 members. That's a lot for a board that opened a week ago. Other than that and a few new features, it's a standard Power Rangers discussion forum. They talk about more than Power Rangers, for example, you can talk about Toku, Off Topic stuff, and other things.

So, if you're a fan of Power Rangers or want to meet some new friends or something, then PRE is a good choice. Sign up today!

Happy Birthday, Sonic the Hedgehog!!



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!

Kamen Rider OOO

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!

Toku Music Showcase Week 3

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.

The Special Showcase will be up next week.

Toku Music Showcase Week 2

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!
