So we have a thread for Anime, and a source I've stated that I feel is often lost but certainly should not be ignored when talking about Japanese (for me at least), is Tokusatsu shows. "What is Tokusatsu?" you may ask? Well tokusatsu (特撮) or "Special Effects Shows" is a type of Japanese Live Action Film or Television Drama with a good dose of special effects as the name implies. Things like explosions, smoke, scale models, special suits are usually found in Tokusatsu programming, at least the ones I've watched. Tokusatsu usually falls into genres from Sci-fi, Fantasy, and Horror, but other genres can work. Well known examples of tokusatsu include -Kamen Rider-Godzilla-Super Sentai (Where Power Rangers gets it's stock footage from)-Ultraman-Metal Heroes-Giant RoboAs for me, aside from Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger (It's a rad entry in Super Sentai! And hey my current avatar is from a fan art of it so go go go), I've been watching a little bit of this as well. ;y
(man I love those explosions at 1:05 <3333)

Ahahaha there's no way Gogo Five's opening can get stuck in my head...Matte 'ro yo go fiiiive Ikite 'ro yo go fiiiiive...
A-Anywho, speaking of "ridiculously catchy Tokstatsu themes that will never leave my head", here's one that might ring a bell if you remember way, way back in my anime thread post
Like Gokaiger's, Zyuranger's opening puts me in a really, really good mood even if I've had a pretty rough day. Which is kinda ironic since Zyuranger is kinda....rough on the heart to say the least (At least to me, even if it wasn't as all out crazy with the kind of stuff you'd find in Kamen Rider V3 holy moly Ishinomori you crazy, crazy man).
