Generation Kikaida is closing up shop within the next month, unfortunately. A lot of their products have already been sold off with only small quantities of the Kikaider Reboot and scattered volumes of the OG series still left. It’s sad to see them go, the team there really worked hard to keep Kikaida’s memory alive here in Hawaii for the past two decades. Can’t thank the woman in charge, Joanne Ninomiya, enough for the work she put in all these years and for pretty much being the reason why I was even able to watch the original series and 01 in the first place by getting them to rerun on KIKU when I was a kid in the early 2000’s. Whoever managed to pick up full series copies while they could really have themselves a piece of tv history.
1000%!
It’s sad that kikaider is one of those Ishinomori originals shows that is almost forgotten unlike Kamen rider and super Sentai.
Not completely true, yet. Kikaida still has a presence in the state of Hawaii. Even in as recent as November 2023, the University of Hawaii pep band played the Kikaida opening theme song during timeouts at the University of Hawaii sporting events home games.
@@AlteringcollectiblesThey do
Some people may not know him that much. But hawaii will forever. I've been to a hawaii basketball and the band played go go kikaida. (YES I am from hawaii)
Part of Kikaida’s legacy still still holds strong today.
As recent as November 2023, the University of Hawaii Pep band played the Kikaida opening theme song during a time out of a University of Hawaii Women’s volleyball game, to a crowd of over 7,000 people.
That's fantastic! Wish I could have been there to experience that first hand.
YES!! ❤❤
Hakaider has the best villain theme song, also without him there'd probably be no Darth Vader
Hakaida has *two* theme songs, actually (Theme Of Saburo, The song of Hakaida), and they are both better than anything the hero gets. =^[.]^=
Sadly, we lost Ichirou Mizuki at the end of 2022. He so dramatically sang Hakaida’s song. (Hawaii fans use -da rather than -der)
It really saddens me that a lot of these old shows were unable to be subbed before fan subbing was basically wiped out.
Aloha from Hawaii ..... this video popped up in my UA-cam feed today. Wow, growing up, Kikaida was something I watched every week with my family. I still have a CD of Kikiaida / Kikaida 01 and Kamen Rider V3 songs. I also still have the DVD collection of Kikaida and Kamen Rider V3. Anyways, this is an excellent video. I'll be sharing it with my friends.
Awesome! Thank you so much for sharing your memories of watching the series in Hawaii 😀 (and your kind words!)
Quite possibly one of the most famous Tokusatsu shows of all time... That you probably never heard of. (God I wish us Brits had official releases of shows like this and the more famous Kamen Rider)
5:55 It's interesting that Kikaider had the "half mechanical parts" look before Terminator, Borg, etc. The illustration at 7:12 shows the partly transparent look even more than the costume did. (Later on, Micronauts and Space Adventure Cobra.)
I’ve been looking forward to this one! So glad it’s here🔥
Watching now💪🏻
Thank you! I tried my best to live up to expectations for this one. But all feedback is welcomed! 😀
in Hawaii in the early 70’s he was a huge hit. After 40 years I got my picture taken with kikaida Jiro -Ban Daisuki
And kikaida 01 Ichiro - Ikeda Shunsuke and autographs when they came to Ala Moana shopping center .. they had an interpreter
so fans could communicate I was happy to wait 1 1/2 hours in line. Both of them were so patient and made eye contact and in my
case Ban Daisuki talked to me first and asked The interpreter if I would like to come around the table to get a picture .
I was 48 years old 6’1” 250 pounds but at that moment I was that 8 year old kid meeting his heroes . I just wish I had brought
my elementary school photos with my kikaida T shirts on 😁 great people ❤️
Fantastic! Thank you so much for your sharing your experience with Daisuke Ban. Sounds like it was a great moment! I can completely relate to it too!
Jealous of you. I only have a poster autographed in advance by Ban-San and Ikeda-San. And in January, I was in SoCal and could not attend Generation Kikaida’s last event. Still very sad about that.
You also forget that Metalder’s ally of Top Gundar is a Hakaider inspired character even though his head is shaped differently.
okay I want Hideaki Anno to reboot this too, give him a blank check to bring these classics back to life.
That was an incredible history of Android Kikaider! Change! Switch On!! 1!!! 2!!!! 3!!!!! 🔴🔵
Thank you!
@@JapanHero It is my pleasure 😉👍
キカイダーに至るまでにあったヒーローの概要のみならず、原作、当時の背景にまで紹介を網羅した、緻密な特集だとおもいます。
しかし、リラックスした大らかな解説作品で、言葉が違っても、見ているうちに作品世界を理解できそうな、美しい場面のセレクトは
本当にセンスがあります。マガジンのフォトグラフにまで取材をされているのも嬉しい作品紹介だと感じます。
どうもありがとうございます。
Aloha and mahalo for creating and posting this summary.
Thank you very much! I appreciate your kind words 😀
Not very familiar with this show, so I found this very informative. Also, while I had no idea the actor who played the 2nd Battle Cossack played Android Kikaider and Inzauman prior, it should be noted that Battle Fever J aired from 1979 to 1980, while Denshi Sentai Denziman aired from 1980 to 1981.
Thank you very much! I also appreciate that correction on Battle Fever J's broadcast years. I can't believe I missed that when I did my spot-checking before publishing the video 😆 There were a couple of other small things I missed, so I'll have to spend more time on those checks for my next one.
@@JapanHero It's understandable
Battle Fever J, Denshi Sentai Denziman, and Taiyo Sentai Sun Vulcan had a Marvel Comics co-production, just like the Japanese Spider-Man (Supaidāman)
Coincidentally, I just ordered the Figuarts Kikaider and Side Machine
Awesome!!
@@JapanHero Yeah. I'm planning on making a video with them when they come in the mail.
I love your reviews there are aways amazing.
Thank you! I appreciate your kind words.😀
0:38, hey look! Sonoi. Hehehe.
3:22, Metalder learns a lot from this.
12:45, kinda reminds me of Cutie Honey Flash whenever Prof. Kisaragi had the chance to escape but is then captured. Hmm..guess Honey did take some influences from things after all.
13:27, ah yes..Toshiki Inoue's dad.
I must watch this show. This really is a legend to never be forgotten.
@4:17 Where Capcom got their inspo for their character "Q" in Street Fighter III
Definitely!
I remember as a kid, I would always hear on the Radio and on TV commercials, about Kikaider showing up at the mall... I never saw the show as a kid, save for one episode (thoughI think it was just him playing his iconic melody before the fight. I was more into power rangers back then. But I knew of the hero kikaider. I had only becomeinterestedin kikaidera few years ago, after seeing it referencedon Brandon Tenolds Cult movie Classics (Inframan). I was lucky to find a DVD set a g-fest, though it was a bootleg collection. Its actually kind of funny, how wrong some of the subtitle are, often mentioning "king dark" and "planet dark". It also had commercials from when it was recorded... its an odd time capsule of sorts from before my time. I personally consider it a treasure of sorts. But it made me want to to buy the official stuff. Am working on getting the dvd's. One at a time.
Now, I think back to all the times I heard about his visits on the radio. Makes me wish I went to that mall. It would have been great, I can't help but think.
Thank you for sharing these memories of your experience with Kikaider.
Yoy forgot that post credits cameo from the second Super Hero Taisan movie.
Ha! I know I missed a number of other appearances-for example, there are multiple Pachinko machines I skipped-but Kikaider's appearance in the 2013 Super Hero Taisen movie...I completely missed.😅 Thanks for calling it out. I'll have to make sure I include it, whenever I get to doing a lookback at the Kikaider Reboot movie.
I missed out on the good work done by Generation Kikaida, but dvdrparty has it for those interested.
Narrators voice is 😵💫
Unsure what this feedback means but we'll continue to do what we can to improve the presentation of these videos. A lot of the feedback we've received these past few years has been very helpful, so if there's anything in particular that can be improved on please let us know.
Choujinki Metalder the 80's darker re-boot of Kikaider,
It has a lot of similarities for sure! As it happens I started working on a Metalder episode, but quickly realized that Kikaider should go first so I can better draw those comparisons in the Metalder overview. Then I forgot to kickstart work on Metalder! Need to get back on that 😆
Kikaida suit color it was a little brighter blue color when you watch the First Season and 1 episode the original kikaida it wasn't a dark blue color.... you'll See the difference......
The suit's colors changed over time due to wear, the sun and other environmental factors. In some programs like Barom One, the color of the suit by the end of the series is almost completely different due to this.
My guess is Metalder is next.
That was the original plan, but after spending a 3-4 weeks on Kikaider, I'm taking a small break from working on red-blue, asymmetrical android themed videos.😆 I have x 2-3 ideas on what to work on next, hopefully starting on one of those this afternoon.
I thought the original ultraman with hiyata came out way before all these other ones mention
Have you heard of campus Special Investigator Hikaruon or Japan gakuen tokusou hikaruon
I have heard of it.
what are these pronunciations lmao
My first language is Spanish. Any feedback on specific words I could do better with are definitely welcomed.
This video is pretty good, but it would have been a whole lot better without the continual (and atrocious) mispronunciations of nearly every Japanese word - sadly including even "Kikaida". It is NOT pronounced "KikaidER".
Thanks for watching the video and your feedback.
If this show would have aired in West Virginia in the 80s i would have never left my living room
