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.
Tonight was the official introduction of the next Kamen Rider series- Kamen Rider Zeztz!
Some highlights from the event:
*Kamen Rider Zeztz’ true name is Baku Yorozu played by actor Ryutaro Imai. Baku is a luckless young man obsessed with spies and secrets. One day when badly injured Baku finds himself in a dream world, recruited by an organization named CODE to fight creatures called Nightmares responsible for attacks on humans.
Because of the Nightmare attacks two police officers- Tetsuya & Nasuka will pursue both Zeztz and the monsters.
Baku’s greatest ally is his younger sister Minami (actress Yagi Miki.) Joining CODE will bring forth a new rival named Nox (Furukawa Yuki)who helps guide the Nightmares into reality.
*Zeztz’ motorcycle will take on a robotic form- becoming a character known as ZERO voiced by actor Jay Kabira.
Veteran Kamen writer Yuya Takahashi will return for this new series, with fellow Rider veteran Kazuya Kamihoruchi directing.
The opening theme for the series is VISIONS by NAQT VANE.
Kamen Rider Zeztz premieres September 7 2025!
