Podcast appearances and mentions of hiroshi fujioka

THE SAGA CONCLUDES—and is interrupted by filler! Nathan and Drew were having such a great time with Kamen Rider (1971). The last few episodes were building momentum going into the final episodes, and then Hongo and Hayato destroy the Shocker Riders…by running really fast?! And then a Muppet-y monster named Crowox with ridiculous powers (like goring) shows up to finally give us flying cars. But hey, at least you get to hear your hosts talk about the semi-obscure Sega Saturn spokesman, Segata Sanshiro, who was also played by Hiroshi Fujioka!

Editor's Note: There's a very special reason why chose today's episode for this month's rerun. And it's not just because it originally released one year ago today....   ....it's that because of a technical glitch on the podcast feed....you never got to hear it in its entirety.   Here's the story: originally a Channel F "F-isode", and originally released 04/28/2020, it was meant to supplement C1E52: "Backtracks", a focus on VGM that we played in reverse, ostensibly as last year's April Fool's gag. Only, as the intro to today's rerun reveals, it wasn't a gag after all, but instead, we were simply using the occasion of the gag as a cover for a subject too weird for many - if presented as the serious study that it was.   It also had the distinction of being the very first episode I had ever produced in Linux. Other than for the recordings of my voice in the end of 2019 "looking back" pair that we collectively referred to as "The Golden Episode", and most of the voices of my family in C1E51, "the birthday episode", which were all done in the Audio Evolution studio [Android] app in ChromeOS on a cheap old Chromebook, everything I had done up to this point had been done in GarageBand on macOS. I had been wanting to make the jump for some time, and with "The Other 50", I finally took the plunge, using a mix of Audacity, and at that time, Ardour 5 in Ubuntu Studio 19.10 (I've since upgraded to Ardour 6 and Ubuntu Studio 20.04).   I am convinced that Ardour and Audacity allow for better production, by way of cleaner, louder, fuller productions. And I'm much happier working under them than I was using the old methods. But if there's one thing they lack, it's the user-friendliness of GarageBand. And so, little things like start and end timers don't automatically move as you add files sometimes, and I have to remember to manually move them, lest some of the beginning or the end get cut off of the final production.   And that's exactly what happened here. The original draft of the file was missing the final, well, approx 30 minutes of the show. The trouble is, I didn't realize it until AFTER I had already uploaded it to podbean. SO, I went back in, deleted the bad file, and replaced it with the good one. But since the file names were the same, it doesn't appear to have made the swap up on the server, and if you go back to the original episode today, it still cuts off early. At least it does on the iTunes website.    So, the most significant reason for today's rerun is to finally allow you to hear the entire production. If the backwards music drove you nuts, fear not: after today, I don't plan to rerun them again until we get close to April Fool's 2026, which will be a Backtracks sequel. However, if this is the first you're hearing of the Backtracks series, and you like it, definitely scroll back on the feed through the back catalog of episodes, find C1E52 "Backtracks", and give it a listen. On balance, after a year to reflect on it, I really do think the original was better than this supplement. And besides, that outro! Oh my goodness, that Outro!!! Tracklist with timestamps below. Also, here's a link to the an Blogspot post which links to several of the Backtracks series Archive.org-exclusive SUPER BONUSES with additional content:   http://nerdnoiseradio.blogspot.com/2020/04/track-lists-for-backtracks-and-other-50.html?m=1   I hope you will enjoy today's rerun, at long last, presented in its entirety!   Cheers! -----------------------------------------------------------------   Track# – Track Name – Game – System – Composer – From Collection – Original Episode – Timestamp    01) Intro – 00:00:00  02) Options – Daffy Duck in Hollywood – Genesis – Matt Furniss – Best of 2017 – Ep 12 – 00:12:13  03) September 2015 – N/A (eShop) - 3DS / WiiU – Kazumi Totaka – Golden Personal – Ep 6 – 00:16:33  04) The Mall – Skate or Die 2 – NES – Rob Hubbard – Best of 2018 – Ep 22 – 00:19:44  05) Evil Dante – Cratermaze – TG16 - Jun Chikuma, Keita Hoshi, Toshiaki Takimoto, Masaru Takahashi, and/or Takayuki Iwabuchi – Miscellaneous – Ep 47b – 00:21:21  06) Character Select – Cosmic Carnage – 32X – Hikoshi Hashimoto – Best of 2017 – Ep 13 – 00:23:01  07) Ethnic Cave and Flame – X-Men – Arcade – Konami Kukeiha Club – Best of 2017 – Ep 10 – 00:25:06  08) Jazz 3 – Sim Copter – PC – Jerry Martin – Best of 2018 – Ep 35 – 00:27:36  09) Reckless Running – Sega Rally Championship – Saturn – Naofumi Hataya – Best of 2018 – Ep 24 – 00:32:38  10) Collision Chaos Zone (Present) – Sonic CD (US) – Sega CD – Spencer Nilsen w/ David Young and Mark Crew – Best of 2017 – Ep 15 – 00:36:45  11) Main Menu – Sonic Mania – Multiplatform – Tee Lopes – Best of 2018 – Ep 36 – 00:40:02  12) Opening 1 – Hisou Kihei X-Serd – PC Engine – Koji Hayama – Golden Popular – Ep 11 – 00:41:10  13) Brinstar (Red Soil) – Super Metroid – SNES – Kenji Yamamoto and/or Minako Hamano – Miscellaneous – Ep 18 – 00:42:56  14) Stage 3-3 – Ai Chou Aniki – PC Engine – Iwasaki Taku – Miscellaneous – Ep 47b – 00:46:40  15) Options – Bram Stoker’s Dracula – Genesis – Matt Furniss – Best of 2017 – Ep 2 – 00:50:00  16) The Vile Peaks – Final Fantasy XIII – PS3 – Masashi Hamauzu – Best of 2017 – Ep 10 – 00:51:26  17) Twilight Palace (Outside) – L.o.Z.: Twilight Princess – GameCube / Wii – Toru Minegishi and/or Asuka Ota – Best of 2017 – Ep 4 – 00:54:49  18) Outside Ref, The Pyramid of Ice – Dungeon Explorer 2 – PC Engine – Masaaki Inoue and/or Akihiro Honma – Golden Personal – Ep 47b – 00:58:00  19) After the Battle – L.o.Z.: Twilight Princess – GameCube / Wii – Golden Personal – Ep 4 –01:00:05  20) The Vertical – Ghost in the Shell – PS1 – Joey Beltram – Best of 2017 – Ep 16 – 01:02:23  21) Spin on the Bridge – Streets of Rage 2 – Genesis – Yuzo Koshiro and/or Motohiro Kawashima – Best of 2018 – Ep 31 – 01:08:44  22) Cycle 1 – Streets of Rage 3 – Genesis – Motohiro Kawashima and/or Yuzo Koshiro – Best of 2017 – Ep 2 – 01:13:03  23) Track 11 – Illusion Blaze – PC (AdLib) - D.A.C. – Golden Personal – Ep 2 – 01:16:12  24) Naruto (Light Armor) - Cosmic Carnage – 32X – Hikoshi Hashimoto – Golden Popular – Ep 13 –  01:18:45  25) Bases 1 & 2 – Contra NES – c: Kazuki Muaoka / a: Hidenori Maezawa and/or Kiyohiro Sada – Best of 2018 – Ep 34 – 01:20:31  26) Imperial Death March – Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back – NES – c: John Williams / a: Paul Webb – Golden Popular – Ep 9 – 01:22:05  27) Fly Like a Butterfly – Jet Set Radio Future – XBox – Hideki Naganuma – Golden Personal – Ep 20 – 01:22:43  28) At Doom’s Gate – DOOM – PC (Midi) - Bobby Prince – Golden Popular – Ep 35 – 01:25:59  29) Alone in Love – Jewelmaster – Genesis – Motoaki Takenouchi – Golden Popular – Ep 24 – 01:29:13  30) Naja – Cosmic Carnage – 32X – Hikoshi Hashimoto – Best of 2017 – Ep 13 – 01:31:26 31) Swamp – Samurai Ghost – TG16 – Gappy, Miyoshi Okuyama, and/or Hiroyon – Best of 2017 – Ep 20 – 01:33:36  32) Segadore Genesid 64 – N/A (Non-VGM) – N/A (Genesis) – MrSonic699 – Best of 2018 – Ep 28 – 01:34:43  33) Stage Theme 4 – Shinobi – Arcade – Yasuhiro Kawakami – Golden Popular – Ep 2 – 01:36:48  34) Title Theme – Double Dragon – NES – Kazunaka Yamane – Golden Popular – Ep 1 – 01:38:24  35) Field 3 – J.J. and Jeff – TG16 – Takeaki Kunimoto – Miscellaneous – Ep 47b – 01:40:05  36) Zena Lan (Light Armor) – Cosmic Carnage – 32X – Hikoshi Hashimoto – Golden Personal – Ep 13 – 01:42:07  37) Bearhattan Transfur – Fist of Awesome – Multiplatform – Brendan Ratliff – Best of 2018 – Ep 30 – 01:44:22  38) Map – Wolfchild – Genesis – Matt Furniss – Best of 2017 – Ep 12 – 01:47:47  39) Tyr (Heavily Armored) – Cosmic Carnage – 32X – Hikoshi Hashimoto – Golden Personal – Ep 13 – 01:49:03  40) Level 1 – Chip Chan Kick – PCFX – Yoshio Furakawa, Masahara Iwata, and Hitoshi Sakamoto Best of 2017 – Ep 4 – 01:50:46  41) Stage Theme 1 – Spider-Man vs. The Sinister Six – NES – David Whittaker – Golden Popular – Ep 18 – 01:55:13  42) S.O.R.

Back in the 16-bit era, urban streets were littered with no-good punks who would attack in wave after wave, leaving a group of musclebound heroes no choice but to keep on punching — and hope there is a whole roast chicken hidden in a garbage can somewhere. This episode is a celebration of those gritty city environments, the music heard in them and the music from other genres of game that nonetheless get at this same vibe.

This week, Ichi's love for the new Rider show, more specifically Kamen Rider Blades, is solidified beyond a doubt, to say the least. But do the other Casters share in his enthusiasm? Next, the Queen in Kiramager retuuuuurns from the deeeeeead, and man is she cringe. But the crystal apple doesn't fall far from the tree, as Mabusheena hits disturbing new lows, or should we say high notes? Finally, we come back to Samurai Flamenco, the anime targeting tokusatsu fans. Its down to earth beginnings are starting to ramp up, as we get introduced to the Hiroshi Fujioka analogy, as well as a super violent magical girl.  Casters Present:  Blue Gray Red Crimson  Show Notes: https://www.patreon.com/posts/41778998 Required Viewing: Kamen Rider Saber 2, Mashin Sentai Kiramager 23, Samurai Flamenco 3-4 YouTube Version: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VujX70uNxQM] Feed the Castrangers and get $5 off your first order with SkipTheDishes! https://www.skipthedishes.com/r/6YaJc65HKg

This week, Average Joe is joined by returning guest Pixel to discuss some interesting imports from the land of the rising Sun. In the news this week, Hasbro has purchased the Power Rangers franchise from Saban. What does this mean for the future of the franchise? Will they continue making live-action shows? Will their be crossover with other franchises? Has Average Joe's childhood been ruined? Kamen Rider has been a successful tokusatsu franchise in Japan since the early 1970's. With over 26 different series to date, it has captured the imaginations of generations upon generations of fans. Despite this, the franchise has never found much success in the Western world. How has this happened? What went wrong? Music from "Kamen Rider" is the property of Hiroshi Fujioka, Shotaro Ishinomori, and Toei.

WARNING: This submission is SUPER-DUPER LONG – like “Insane in the Membrane” long!!! Like, take a week to make the track list long!!! It’s the musical version of a “tl;dr”. And now for a non-musical version of one, here’s the explanation (with track list to follow):   If you’re new to Nerd Noise Radio, and feel this is oppressively long, fear not (and certainly unsubscribe not)! This is not at all indicative of a standard episode! Typically, episodes generally find themselves in the half hour to an hour and a half range. This is a once-a-year super-duper track-fest that is as long as it is because I couldn’t be more committal!   I created a list of all “candidate” tracks from 2017 that I would consider for a favorites episode….and ended up with a whopping 122 tracks! For perspective, an ordinary episode of NNR is anywhere from 20-35 tracks. So, I started pruning back the list with the goal of hitting 40 tracks, mayyyybe 60 at the extreme. I started by cutting the tracks on my list that were already featured via listener picks on C1E25: The Best of 2017 since you, the listener just heard them a few days ago. I did include a list at the very bottom of these notes featuring the tracks that were in C1E25, and were therefore cut from my list so you can know which tracks they were.   I gradually whittled my list down to 70 tracks, but couldn’t think of any more to cut. And besides, with so many tracks that I would’ve wanted featured absent already, and so many “me tracks” already featured on C1E25, I felt like I was beginning to approach the precipice of this not being worth doing anymore if I cut too many more out. It wouldn’t be representative enough, especially when there was already a good representation of “my tracks” selected by the listeners in the proper Channel 1 episode…..   …..and thus…..   ……..a 70 track, 3hr and 23 minute long music block JUGGERNAUT!!!!   Actually, 71 tracks! I realized belatedly that in my quest to trim it back, I trimmed out all the NES tracks….and we just couldn’t have a Best of 2017 episode without AT LEAST ONE NES TRACK, am I right? There were already a pair of FDS tracks which, to be fair, is just an NES and then some, but it’s still not quite the same, don’t you agree? So, our opening track was a last second addition to make sure we got some real deal NES glory in this monster. I hope you’ll feel it fits.   This is already long enough that I can’t feature it on the dedicated Channel F feed, so it will only be appearing on the All Channels Feed, on YouTube, Twitch, Archive, and Blogspot. Also, due to the extreme length, the customary intro and outro of a typical Channel 1 episode were cut, meaning that this episode is pretty much JUST the music block! If you’re catching this via the “video-ified” version on YouTube or Twitch, I will still include pop-ups for each track. But if you’re listening to an audio-only version, like podbean (the All Channels Feed), or Archive, then the ONLY place where you will find track info is in the show notes! So, they are more important than ever! In the case of YouTube, which has a character limit for descriptions, I fear that I may run afoul of that, and may need to move the tracklist to the comments section instead. So just keep an eye out for that. If you don’t see a track listing in the description, then you know where to look next. :-)   All that said, I actually am really proud of this track list – particularly the track ordering. We start out with a fun, happy block, followed by dark, then intense, then weird, and then…..well, you’ll just have to tune in to follow the carefully curated ebb and flow and weave of this winding, twisting musical journey. I will say that other than our very last track, which has a PERFECT “goodbye” feel, we wrap things up with a jazz block. So, it’s truly an “all over the world” musical experience! And how we get from happy, to dark, to intense, to weird….and then to jazz is a question you’ll have to find out for yourself by listening. If you can survive the 3 ½ hour non-stop trip, I promise you that it is the biggest, boldest, broadest, richest, most ambitious journey I’ve taken you on as a podcaster!   Lastly, I made sure to get at least one track from every episode in here. Had I been going by pure preference, the track list may have looked a tiny bit different (though not much), but having as my secondary goal to get every episode involved, I made the list the way I did, picking my favorite track(s) from the episode not already featured on C1E25. In the case of C1E7 (the Sword of Vermilion soundtrack), my favorite track, Statts, was already taken, and it became a multi-way-tie for second favorite, so I just chose a track that I thought would go well in the mix. I chose Dungeon 2.   Anyway, I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed making it! 2017 was a great year for the program, and I’m convinced you’ll find 2018 even better…..I know I do ---- which means this task for me will be even harder next time! Get ready for 90 tracks next time…..maybe 91! ;-)   Cheers!   -John (Nerd Noise Radio)     Track Number – Track Name – Game – System – Composer – Episode Originally Appearing on – Time Stamp   (unless obviously otherwise) :-)   01: Intro – 00:00:00 02: Title Theme – Solstice – NES – Tim Follin – Ep 16: 00:00:15 03: Lovely City - Lovely Planet - Multiplatform - Calum Bowen - Ep 4 – 00:03:09 04: Nice Day - Spindizzy II - X68k - Toshiya Yamanaka - Ep 2 – 00:05:44 05: Chilled Reflection (Feat Rudy Escobar) - DYA – Neon Dreams (Album) - Ep 14 – 00:09:15 06: July 2014 - eShop Music - WiiU/3DS - Kazumi Totaka - Ep 6 – 00:11:35 07: Stage 1 - ChipChan-Kick - PCFX - Yoshio Furakawa, Masahara Iwata, and Hitoshi Sakamoto - Ep 4 – 00:14:28 08: Fun with Laser Guns - FearOfDark - FDS – BotB Winter Chip 8 – Ep 8 – 00:17:40 09: Metro City Subway - Final Fight CD – Sega CD - c: Harumi Fujita, Hiromitsu Takaoka, Junko Tamiya, Manami Matsumae, Yasuaki Fujita, Yoko Shimomura and/or  Yoshihiro Sakaguchi / a: T's Music - Ep 15 – 00:21:11 10: High Sky - El Viento – Genesis - Motoi Sakuraba - Ep 16 – 00:23:15 11: Snow Land - Wiz 'n' Liz - Genesis – Matt Furniss – Ep 12 – 00:25:37 12: Tachy Touch - Knuckles Chaotix - 32X - Junko Shiratsu, Mariko Nanba - Ep 2 – 00:27:53 13: Ethnic Cave and Flame - X-Men - Arcade - The Konami Kukeiha Club – Ep 10 – 00:28:54 14: The Vile Peaks - Final Fantasy XIII - PS3 - Masashi Hamauzu – Ep 10 – 00:31:24 15: Twilight Palace (Outside) - LoZ: Twilight Princess - GC/Wii - Toru Minegishi, Asuka Ota - Ep 4 – 00:34:10 16: Options - Bram Stoker’s Dracula - Genesis - Matt Furniss - Ep 2 & 17 – 00:37:18 17: Intro - Sabre Team - Amiga - Matt Furniss - Ep 12 – 00:38:46 18: Cycle 1 - Streets of Rage 3 - Genesis - Motohiro Kawashima w Yuzo Koshiro) - Ep 2 – 00:41:38 19: Bonus 1 - Second Samurai - Mega Drive – Matt Furniss - Ep 12 – 00:44:51 20: Mission One - T2: The Arcade Game - Genesis – Matt Furniss – Ep 12 – 00:46:19 21: Traveller's Tales - Knight Arms - X68k - Toshiya Yamanaka - Ep 2 – 00:48:30 22: Yug's Stage - Cosmic Carnage – 32X – Hikoshi Hashimoto – Ep 13 – 00:51:05 23: Stage 5-2 – Bram Stoker's Dracula – Genesis – Matt Furniss – Ep 17 – 00:53:01 24: Stage 4-3 - Bram Stoker's Dracula - Genesis – Matt Furniss – Eps 12 & 17 – 00:55:30 25: 4th Cause - Psychosis - TG16 - Atsuhiro Motoyama – Ep 4 – 00:58:17 26: Naja's Stage - Cosmic Carnage – 32X – Hikoshi Hashimoto – Ep 13 – 01:02:47 27: Gong Shun Sheng - Outlaws of the Lost Dynasty (Dark Legend) - Multi - Seiichi Hamada – Ep 4 – 01:04:56 28: Dungeon 2 – Sword of Vermilion – Genesis - Hiroshi Kawaguchi and Yasuhiro Takagi - Ep 7 – 01:07:34 29: Swamp - Samurai Ghost - TG16 - Gappy, Miyoshi Okuyama, and/or Hiroyon – Ep 20 – 01:09:47 30: Passage - Destiny - PS4/XB1 - C.

For the 45th time, Rider Break! returns as Hiroshi Fujioka returns as Takeshi Hongō, who returns after 45 years (maybe?) in the 45th Anniversary movie Kamen Rider 1, as Kamen Rider returns to the big screen and Rider Break! returns as well.Hongō returns to Japan, meeting faces old and new. Shocker once again looms large, but is now split in two. Despite a beefy new appearance and an updated version of the Cyclone, something is wrong with our hero, and with each breath and battle, the end draws near...Is this Rider 1's greatest adventure? Is it Hongo's final day? Is this Rider Break's last episode?There's only one way to find out!In This Episode: • Rider Break! (like somebody in this movie, it turns out) is immortal!• Once again Craig of The Repacked Podcast joined in to help as I (very badly) recap the movie, and hey, this time we're actually getting it out on time!• Oh yeah and RIDER SPOILERS!Episodes Notes:• Music used includes:Excerpt from "Let's Go!! Rider Kick -2016 movie ver.-". Get it on Amazon Japan!A BGM track from the V3 PS1 game.• As before, Skype recorder was used for most of this, hence the slight drop in audio quality. I wanted to get this one out as soon as possible. This time, I succeeded!• This episode (which really is 25) marks a transitional phase of sorts for Rider Break!, though it's not going to be immediately obvious here. Wait until next episode (hopefully coming... well, sooner than usual! There may just be a little Q&A involved!)• Okay, real talk time. As much as I bag on Novashocker's plan for comedic effect, I have only seen the movie once, so it's possible I missed the justification for everything (like why they show up at the beginning to confront actual Shocker in full force yet can still operate as a real company, or what legal loophole they're using to get away with blackmailing everybody face-to-face and not just getting sued/arrested.)On the other hand, I forgot to mention it at the time, but the way Ghost and Specter are able to locate their base? It's noticed to be the only building with any electric power left and where a huge energy beam is projecting from (this was from the dialogue) so I'm starting to think the rest of Shocker didn't exactly mind losing those guys.• Yeah yeah yeah I'll do something about Drive in the background (this will make no sense if you're reading this any time after 2016).Timestamps:00:00 - Speaker-destroying sound time.Less than a minute in - a badly edited-in appearance from late-afternoon Igadevil.22:45 - (most) Spoilers for the movie begin!02:09:25 - The (I believe) longest episode of Rider Break! thus far comes to an end!• Thanks for listening!Get The EpisodeDownload hereRider Break! on iTunesOr listen here:

Hiroshi Fuijoka is a treasure. Thanks in part to his charisma and athleticism, we have Kamen Rider as an on-going money making endeavor for Toei and Bandai. I don’t know if Ishimori Productions gets a cut, but fans of the Kamen Rider franchise have been benefiting from his work for decades. Even in the Western … Continue reading Hiroshi Fujioka: International Treasure – Rider Jump 11

In the first of a probable trilogy of episodes, Super Hero Taisen GP: Kamen Rider 3 is discussed by one person who hasn't seen the movie yet, and one who has but can barely remember what he did last week. This part is mostly spoiler-free, and just covers my initial feelings, reactions and stuff you'll have already know unless you were without internet access for the past several months.In This Episode: • Rider Break! has now set a record for how many times a podcast can die and return, approximately eleventy-billion.• I'm once again joined by Craig of The Repacked Podcast (which I'm on a hiatus from at the moment due to work-related stuff, but I will return to!) Craig volunteered to be somebody to bounce off of and keep me focused when going through the film, which really helps, especially when recapping something as long and detailed as this. Next time I'll see if I can't get someone who also saw the film to join in. I do know these guys... Also, I'm always open to having more voices join in on Rider Break! in the future!• As mentioned, this is mostly just the basics, and the real meat/summary of the movie will be in the next two parts (or one part, I'm still not sure how I'll do it, but it will be soon.)Episodes Notes:• Music used includes:"Let's Go!! Rider Kick 2006" by Hiroshi Fujioka (excerpt) Get it on amazon.co.jpThe music from the Taisen GP trailer mentioned.• As mentioned, Skype recorder was used for most of this, hence the slight drop in audio quality. I wanted to get this one out as soon as possible (and it's already a couple weeks late!) so pardon the half-boiledness of this production.• Parts 2 (and hypothetical 3) will be coming along soon, and they will be spoiler-filled! And after that... yeah, I do have to do that damned Q & A episode, don't I?Timestamps:00:00 - Watch those speakers!16:45 - Around here was where I initially planned to start getting into spoilers for the plot. That doesn't quite happen, though there is some discussion of who appears (and who doesn't appear) in the movie from here on, so listener be aware!49:23 - End of Part 1• Thanks for listening!Get The EpisodeDownload hereRider Break! on iTunesOr listen here:

You Are The Wheelman.In This Episode: • Rider Break! has another episode in less than 24 hours! A new record!• It's another first-reaction commentary, this time for Kamen Rider Drive episode 1, "Why Did My Time Stop?"• Spoiler Warning because duh.Episodes Notes:• Music used includes:"Let's Go!! Rider Kick 2006" by Hiroshi Fujioka (excerpt) Get it on amazon.co.jp"SURPRISE-DRIVE" TV-size ripped from the episode. CD release forthcoming!• Not much to say that isn't said in the episode! I got up, sat down with my microphone, and recorded my thoughts. I did go back and edit this one later since there were periods of silence while I took things in (that didn't exactly make for great listening) so the timing may be a bit off and there's no commercial breaks (not that there's much to say. The toy ads are great, the fish sausage ad is deceptively cool, and the gummy ad is still drug-fueled. Can't wait to try the monaka snack though.)• And that's it! More Rider Break!

Kamen Rider Drive is just hours away, and Kamen Rider Gaim has had 46 47 weeks (plus a few weekends off for golf, Super Sentai crossovers, etc.) to tell a tale of Armored Riders warring all so that a DJ can make one of them into a space god to save Christmas. Or something. I wasn't really paying much attention, but I did like that Bravo fella.Fortunately this episode I'm joined by Craig & Nikki from The Repacked Podcast to figure all this stuff out!In This Episode: • Rider Break! is back. Hey, it was quicker than last time. There's several episodes being edited right now (Kikaider REBOOT, that Damned Q&A, and yet another one that isn't about Kamen Rider at all!) but very likely the next one will be about Kamen Rider Drive episode 1 anyway. But hey, that's a lot of Rider Breakage on the way!• Yes, actual human contact! Craig makes his return, and our mutual pal Nikki also chimes in as we discuss general thoughts on the most-recently-finished and soon-to-air Kamen Rider series. I still do a lot of the talking (per their choice) but it's always good to get some more voices in the mix. You can hear all three of us talk toys every week over at The Repacked Podcast.Episodes Notes:• Music used includes:"Let's Go!! Rider Kick 2006" by Hiroshi Fujioka (excerpt) Get it on amazon.co.jp"JUST LIVE MORE" by Shōnan no Kaze (TV Size) Get it on amazon.co.jpSound & music from the Kamen Rider Drive deluxe belt ad• As mentioned, this episode was recorded Thursday, October 2nd. More news, reviews & bits of juicy info have been released since then (such as the title of the next Movie War.) During recording we used the Kamen Rider Drive tumblr which compiled all the scans together nicely, as well as The Tokusatsu Network for information (they've got a great interview with Riku Sanjo that just went up not long after we recorded this.) The Drive toy ad mentioned can be found here (At least as of October 2014.)• We mention HJU Radio here and there; if you want a more comprehensive analysis of Gaim that'll probably be the place to hear it (and probably not from me, because I won't have gotten a chance to rewatch the whole show this time!) This episode's really more of a general thoughts type deal, very free-flowing (which is why we jump around from one show to the other near the end.)• I think there are two points where I started to form an idea, then went off on a tangent and never returned. One is about episode 46, and if that had been the actual ending. What I was going to say was that I'd still probably be okay with it. But for me, if 46 is the "Gaim" ending, episode 47 feels like the "Kamen Rider" ending for the show (if that makes any sense), and it brings 46 up a little more in my book. Now the penultimate chapter is more like the close of Kōta/Kaito/Mai/Sagara's story, with a 'final battle' that is more bittersweet in nature. Whereas 47 wraps up (most) everyone else, and has that Hell Yeah Rider Final Battle in it. They're two parts of a whole to me.The other was Marika/Yoko, who I don't think I really gave a clear answer on (she is probably my favorite character in the show, but a lot of that is down to liking the actress. I think Minami Tsukui could lead a series, she's that good.) What I'm trying to get at is that while her ultimate fate doesn't spoil the whole show (for me; but I understand if it does for you) it is one of the parts I'm having the hardest time figuring out. I'd love to know if Urobuchi or anybody commented on it.• Yes, I know that every non-Rider badass rival villain reminds me of Apollo Geist. That's pretty much down to Apollo Geist being that great and memorable of a character. I like him about as much as I like Doctor Shinigami/Ikadevil, and I like Doctor Shinigami/Ikadevil more than is probably healthy.• My big thanks to Craig for soldiering it out (he was coming off of a cold) and Nikki as well (who had to jump away from the computer a couple times.) They will return some day. And they're not the only ones! I'm always looking for interesting new voices to come on and talk all things Rider or Tokusatsu. At least, once I get the current crop of episodes squared away.• And yes, that Q&A episode is STILL actually happening!Timestamps:00:00 - Watch those speakers!Around 35 minutes in - Drive talk begins (and eventually returns to Gaim.)01:32:55 - The end!

Can the classic and modern (and guys that are like 15 years old but we'll still pretend they're sorta modern) Riders put aside their vaguely-defined differences in time to save the world? Will Shu reunite with his mother? Will Super Sentai actually show up? Who will survive, and what will be left of them? It's an overlong, incoherent nonsensical monstrosity... but enough about this episode of Rider Break!Listen in as Heisei Riders vs. Shōwa Riders: Kamen Rider Taisen feat.

Here's Part 2!• The movie "review" concludes with more Riders fightin', an epic final battle, a REALLY epic cross-generational transformation, and an unbelievable ending that is bound to be super unpopular. And of course, I love it.Episodes Notes:• Music used includes:"Let's Go!!

It still doesn't come across as completely in-character to me personally, but I think it's better than the crazy-go-nuts motivations for heroes in previous films. Ultimately it'll come down to a matter of opinion. Some might find it all a load of hogwash; others may be more okay with it than me. Still others will wonder who the hell still says things like "a load of hogwash".• There are probably tons of mistakes and out-of-order scenes near the end. One I can already recall offhand is that Fourze was just in regular Base States with the Rocket Arm... I think. Guess we'll find out in a few more days!• For even more laughs though, continue that drinking game of how many times:- A sentence ends on "...and stuff like that"- "You know" is used as a bridge between two thoughts- I stop talking about the actual movie plot to talk about something tangentially related, like the history of X-Rider's transformation or my own theory about the rest of the Faiz cast.-A character's reaction is described as being "What the he-" or some variations thereof.-I put off a thought by saying "but I'll get to that..."• And as mentioned, this is Part 2!

At long last, Igadevil & Rider Break! return for the gajillionth time to bring you the overdue epic mess of a review for Heisei Riders vs. Shōwa Riders: Kamen Rider Taisen feat. Super Sentai... less than 48 hours before the movie comes out on home video! It's a Rider Break! so big, we had to Rider Break! it in half! Exclamation points!In This Episode: • Rider Break! returns for the second third fourth hundredth millionth bajillionth gajillionth time, utterly failing to produce any new episodes since October 2013 January 2014! Basically in the last few months I have finished one job, started another, moved, had two severe colds and various other injuries, and done a lot of things which aren't as painful but are time-consuming. Also several other movies have come out, including Gaim's. Real life is brutal kids, never grow up.• I'm back to flying solo this week, but fear not! I hope to have many more guests pop up in the near future! Just as soon as many more episodes start popping up in the near future!• It's the first half of a long, long, long review of the biggest Rider movie in a while, which was the focus of last episode, will be the focus of next episode, and will probably be the focus of a future episode! There are spoilers for everything under the sun (after a point), including this movie, previous movies, multiple Rider series... heck, probably even some things that aren't Kamen Rider! Part 1 of 2.Episodes Notes:• Music used includes:"Let's Go!!

As mentioned, this was recorded some time after seeing the movie (and I saw it quite a few times, after a very long break between the first and second time.) So there are a lot of details that may be incorrect or left out. But before editing, this thing wound up being nearly 4 hours long, and even then has been cut down to about 3 hours and 20 minutes split into two halves, so there still is a LOT of talking about this film.• For laughs though, make a drinking game out of how many times:- A sentence ends on "...and stuff like that"- "You know" is used as a bridge between two thoughts.- I stop talking about the actual movie plot to talk about something tangentially related, like the history of X-Rider's transformation or my own theory about the rest of the Faiz cast.-A character's reaction is described as being "What the he-" or some variations thereof.-I put off a thought by saying "but I'll get to that..."• And as mentioned, this is just Part 1!

Fujioka & Hayami are back to show the new kids how we do it old-school this spring. Igadevil is back and is so excited, he has no clue how to string together a coherent sentence. Fortunately, he has some help from Down Under.In This Episode: • Rider Break! returns for the bajillionth time, utterly failing to produce any new episodes since October 2013! There's reasons, but I don't get into those this week.• For the first time ever, the show has a guest host! Craig of the Repacked Podcast joins in to discuss the exciting news about Heisei Rider vs. Showa Rider: Kamen Rider Taisen feat. Super Sentai. Primarily this consists of me talking, and him making the episode actually interesting to listen to. Basically, I just recorded and edited down the kind of chats we have every week.• Various things are touched on, such as the current status of the classic Rider actors, the aging (or lack thereof) of cyborgs, what I like the Kamen Rider name to stand for (most of the time) and the shocking true origin of the Henshin pose! Which I'm sure I've mentioned before somewhere else!Episodes Notes:• Music used includes:"Let's Go!! Rider Kick 2006" by Hiroshi Fujioka (excerpt) Get it on amazon.co.jp"Sega Saturn, Shiro!" by MoJo (yes, that one)• As the conversation was recorded via Skype Recorder, it's a bit more muffled than the usual level of audio quality for the latest episodes (but probably better than earlier Rider Break! episodes.) This was my decision as it was just an experiment and something I thought up on the quick. I might stick with this in the future, or try the "everybody records and I edit later" approach like the pros! We'll see.• This was recorded on Saturday, January 18th, and has now gone on the site a few days later, so it was before the first real trailer hit. I had seen a variation of it in theaters, minus the Rider 1 vs. Gaim bit at the end, and I wasn't sure at the time if Haruto was in the movie or not (he is.) Also, we did indeed record that HJU Radio episode the next day!• The time-displaced Samurai movie I was trying to think of is called Ghost Warrior in the US, and SF Sword Kill in Japan.• As we mention more than a few times, check out the Repacked Podcast. I'm on it sometimes!• My deepest thanks again go to Craig for being a good sport and joining in to keep things flowing. As mentioned, this won't be the last episode to feature a guest or two (or more) though I'm not sure yet of the who's, when's, where's and why's.• That very-long-delayed Q & A episode will finally be next. Like, hopefully before-the-end-of-the-month next After that, the one I originally planned on being about the last two episodes of Wizard will happen at some point, in greatly expanded form.

Rider Break! is back with another "live" first reaction, this time to the first episode of Kamen Rider Gaim! Is it a fresh new direction for the series, or did the months of waiting just amount to a crate of old fruit rotting in a run-down warehouse? Expect no clear answer to this question, plus more!In This Episode: • Rider Break! returns to its normal schedule of releasing once in a blue moon, but fortunately in October there will be a few more blue moons. This time, I talk over the entirety of Kamen Rider Gaim episode 1 because if there's one thing everybody loves, it's when people talk over the movie.• Spoilers for episode 1 of Kamen Rider Gaim because duh.• And because it's a live first impression commentary recorded at 8 in the morning, expect complete incoherence. You can make a drinking game out of how many times "really" is said in the first 5 minutes alone.Episodes Notes:• Music used includes:"Let's Go!! Rider Kick 2006" by Hiroshi Fujioka (excerpt) Get it on amazon.co.jp• The show's soundtrack came from the episodes via a captured stream, so there's some short pauses in the audio. This isn't a really big deal because my comments are a bit delayed anyway (i.e. I note Gaim is riding a horse like 5 seconds after we see him on the horse) but if you're actually attempting to watch this alongside video, it probably won't align perfectly. Ultimately I think the podcast just works on its own, watched with the original episode still fresh in one's mind, though if it does actually go along with the video at all, I'd be happy to know!Note in advance: I paused for the first two commercial breaks, and didn't say anything really interesting after the belt commercial at the end, hence going right into the wrap-up.• As mentioned, Wizard 52/53 & the long-delayed Q & A episode will be next.

My "live" first reaction to the new footage of Kamen Rider Gaim!

While there likely won't be another one until the end of the month/early August, hopefully this is the start of more regular episodes of this little podcast.•  Recording this episode was almost as difficult as the filming for the Rider episode I spend the majority of it talking about. My voice was starting to go early on, and I recorded this while juggling a billion other things (including Ishinomori Week) so it's all a bit, as I say in the episode, haphazard. I had to record it in chunks at different times, hence some slight changes in volume & sound quality. I also notice I slur a couple words together ("astronaut and all that" and "good on you" is what I was saying.) Despite all that, this was one of my favorite episodes to do.• Wizard pictures described in the episode can be found here and here.• Sound clips in this episode come from Kamen Rider episodes 68 & 93, as well as All Riders vs. Daishocker.• For a comparison of Girizames & Ikadevil:Notice the "cowl" motif I mention, plus the golden belt buckles (and, now that I think about it, the silvery belts, the aquatic theme, even the asymmetric left hand.

With time running out and destiny drawing near, Rider Break! ventures into controversial territory with an examination of the last two episodes of Kamen Rider Decade. Three years on, is it still the destroyer of fans, or a misunderstood masterpiece? Also, how many Rider finales can get spoiled while just trying to cover one!?This episode was originally released on 8/20/2012In This Episode: • Rider Break! returns one more time before another extended leave of absence!• Some brief thoughts on Kamen Rider Fourze episodes 43~46!• I once again plug Rising Sun Tokusatsu and fail to provide answers to their questions.• A frank, honest and open (re: boring) reflection on the Kamen Rider Decade TV finale in both its original and edited incarnations, including complaints about Movie WAR 2010 and a big SPOILER WARNING! as a bunch of other series finales or penultimate episodes are covered (the original, V3, X, Super-1, Kuuga, Agito, Blade, Ryuki, W, OOO, and of course, Decade.)Episodes Notes:• Music used includes:"Let's Go!! Rider Kick 2006" by Hiroshi Fujioka"Journey through the Decade" by GACKT"Battle World" (BGM excerpt)• This is it folks... the final episode of Rider Break!...in America, anyway. The next episode will be recorded in the land of the rising sun itself! No clue when that'll be, or when you'll hear it, but hopefully, before the end of the year/world/whatever.• I mention that this will probably be a shorter episode... that turned out to be false! It clocks in at just over an hour & thirteen minutes.• An extra-big thanks to Lynxara of Low Visibility and HJU fame for inspiring a large chunk of this episode.• Other podcasts/sites mentioned this episode include:HJU RadioLow VisibilityRising Sun Tokusatsu• Here's the article about the Decade finale I mention. Check it out, it's a great read.• Many thanks to all who responded and shared their thoughts on Decade 30~31. Hopefully you guys didn't mind me reading some of them to pad out the episode (which I swear I thought would end up being like 27 minutes long.) Also thanks to all who sent well wishes and congratulations for my upcoming move!• For some reason the old layout I've been using up until now stopped working back in early July, and if I try to post any links after the embedded mp3 player, everything turns into a jumbled mess. If anybody knows what the deal with that is, let me know. Until then, I'll just stick the embedded player and episode links after the show notes and timestamps from now on to save myself some headaches.Timestamps: 00:00 - Watch that volume!02:06 - Fourze talk17:33 - Break time already!? Also, use of "cliffhanger" twice in the same sentence (I did record this at like 3 AM.)19:04 - Decade episodes 30 & 31 are talked about (sort of) in a nearly hour-long rant that touches upon multiple Rider series finales (all of which I inevitably end up liking no matter how much I try to view them objectively) as well as the nature of a multi-part series ending. The description of how Agito's final battle tells a big story on a small scale is my favorite moment of the episode (36:12) and possibly the show's history so far.1:13:20 - If you listened to all that, you are a true hero.• As always, let me know what topics you'd like to hear in future episodes, and I'll put them on the roster!• Thanks for listening!Get The EpisodeDownload hereRider Break! on iTunesOr listen here:
