Kamen Rider

Discuss Ishinimori Shotaro's legendary series about a grasshopper man and all its subsequent spinoffs since 1971.

Remember that rip of Action Zero? Well it turns out it wasn't a TV rip it was ripped from the radio. Although if you ask me this news is late seeing as the CD comes out wedsneday.

Well, a bad rip is a bad rip, and that was a bad rip. I just find it hilarious to think of Yuuto and Deneb singing. Together, no less.

I wouldn't be surprised if there was a bonus track on the Action Zero CD of Sakurai getting angry at Deneb like on the Perfect Action CD theres aperantly a track that starts off like Sword Form Double Action then Momotaros says something and then the song stops and then he sounds angry then it starts and the other Imajin say something.

It'd probobly be alot funnier if I knew Japanese.

I like the versions of the Double Actions where the VAs are splicing their character's catchphrase and greatest lines in over the song. Like Momo: "Ore...sanjou?" "Ichi, ni, san, go, roku, nana, hachi, kyu, ju!" and more.

Wasn't that Sword Form Double Action with Momotaros quotes fake?

There's versions for each form, so if that's the case, whoever made them must've been bored. And I've never heard Momo say "Ore...Sanjou!" the way he does in the song. Regardless, they're still cool and funny.

Well this one I just posted was legit, The older version from when only sword form was out was fake.

The First finaly came in the mail today, Good movie. Although the subs that Media Blasters did wasn't great, Especialy at the very opening where they subbed that part of Lets Go Rider Kick with the same exact font and area they used to sub the credits, And they should have subbed that ending theme which they totaly forgot to do, Chances are TVN did when they had The First, But this was worth my money. Although I wished they had subbed the Special Features, I wish I could understand more then a couple of words out of that making of thing. Although 2 things don't make sense, If they can Henshin, Why do they still have to put on their helmet themself? And why did the generic Shocker henchmen wear gas masks? Was it because Toei didn't want to have to make some Henchmen costumes (Chances are Gas Masks and Leather outfits cost alot less then making custom henchmen costumes) or did they just not want to smell all the sweatyness of all the people doing the stunts (You can't do all of that without starting to sweat) XDXDXD. (Chances are its A but I think my guess of B was funny)

That's weird, I thought I heard that the special features were subbed as well.

As for their henshin, I think it was because they weren't really transforming so much as revealing their appearance, as it could be argued that they were wearing their suits the whole time so the belt simply made their overclothes disappear and summoned their helmets. Whatever the case, it obviously wasn't an FX-packed thing like we see in the modern series, and that's probably why, as even the original KRs had some effect to cut between the actors and the fully costumed stunt men.

I'll check the song lyrics for you tomorrow if you want.

Well the special features weren't subbed, I guess either they lied or watching them after the movie itself turns them off or something. And now that I think about it, that makes sense that they just have a quick change like that for a old feel because special effects like that weren't around then, I guess I shouldn't expect graphics on a level like this

when its pretty much a remake of this

And no thanks, Bright our future isn't really THAT great and if I really want lyrics I can look them up myself, I found lyrics as hard to find as Double Action (Gun Form) and Yume de aeta nara (VERY impossible to find lyrics)


EDIT: You know, I bet you're thinking "Its about time you saw The First!" XDXDXD


EDIT2: Wait a minute, I just noticed something, How come the pictures say this is the one for the US one

although when I got it, Mine has a cover like this

I'd rather have it say Kamen Rider The First over Masked Rider The First

EDIT3: I know this post is overpacked, But I bring some goods. As you all probobly know, Action Zero came out today! And the ending on the rip is only the middle of the song! But I bring full quality MP3's of the song

SEE! I TOLD YOU THAT THE RIP WOULDN'T SOUND LIKE THE REAL VERSION! I knew that based on how it sounded in Den-O 25

Changed my mind, I do want translated lyrics

(I made a new post because the last one was too crowded)

I'll get them sooner or later, I'm gonna be busy the next couple days.

I know I keep putting that off, and I'm sorry, it's just that I only remember it at times where it's inconvenient to look.

In other news, the Master Pass is available.

Kind of a rip off to buy the golden Rider Pass seperatly, They could at least make it a 5 dollar (Well, The yen equivlent of that) thing, And all those cards could be sold seperatly in packs.
