Den-O actor diagnosed with collapsed lung, getting better
Kamen Rider Den-O star Sato Takeru supposedly complained of chest pains and was diagnosed with pneumothorax, or collapsed lung. He’s getting better now and was told to rest for ten days.
Pretty scary, especially considering his age. If you feel any discomfort, don’t hesitate to visit your doctor!
Get well soon, Sato-kun!

Mog Rider Spreads Justice on Nintendo Wii
Just doing my daily check on The MagicBox (this is where I primarily get my Japanese video game news) and I found the above image. Mask, scarf, large belt…Whoa, it’s Kamen Rider! So, I spent a couple minutes making Mog Rider, coming to a TV near no one! Kind of reminds me of a cooler […]

Kamen Rider Parody: Gei Raida
Here’s something I found on random at YouTube. This basically no budget series is a parody of the Kamen Rider series, with so far two episodes released. The special effects are actually pretty good, with effective camera cuts and fake gunfire. There are a couple homages to Kamen Rider Black in the first episode as […]
H.G.C.O.R.E. - New Generation V3 edition
One of my favorite toy blogs, Charab Life by Sappii, has some high-quality photographs of the newly released H.G.C.O.R.E. set. This is actually the first time I’ve ever seen Chainsaw Lizard, which I think looks nice. It’s neat to see a vixen-type female villain in the new movies as the original Kamen Rider was pretty […]
