Sad news for tokusatsu fans today:
We have been informed that singer Nobuo Yamada– perhaps better known by the stage name NoB– has passed away at 61 due to kidney cancer.
NoB was a frequent collaborator for the music of Super Sentai, performing the intro songs for Gogo Sentai Boukenger & Tensou Sentai Goseiger along with insert songs for a number of other shows.
Our thoughts are with his friends & family in this difficult time.

"【Obituary】
NoB (Nobuo Yamada) Passing Announcement
We express our heartfelt gratitude to all the fans who have strongly supported NoB?s activities and to all the related individuals who have made great efforts."
RIP.
That sucks, 61 is way too young.
If you’re like me and don’t know who this guy is, he did the theme songs for Boukenger, Goseiger, and Strongest Sentai Battle.
Also inserts for Magiranger, Go-Onger, Gokaiger, Go-Busters, Kyoryuger, Zyuohger and King-Ohger, plus compositions for Kyuranger and Kamen Rider Amazons.
Rest In peace, we already lost alot of good people this year.
RIP. Thank you especially Mr. Yamada for singing this song.

We've lost one of the most iconic musical voices of Japan. We've lost the voice behind one of the most iconic anime songs of all time.
RIP Nobuo Yamada. Thank you for all the wonderful music. You will be missed.
Goseiger's OP is one of my favorites. Yamada was a talented singer for sure. R.I.P.
NoB is one of my favorite Singers on Sentai, so when I saw this news yesterday, I was in disbelief. And this comes after all the losses we've had this year.
Rest in Peace, Yamada-San. You were a true Super Star.
Rest in peace. I loved the Boukenger OP.
