Kagami Arata, I love you.

[prillalar]

Kagami fils is the sweetest sweetie ever. I want to buy him video games and knit him a sweater and tell him that everything is going to be all right, honey. And Kagami père? Oh my god, I'm so attracted. Do you think I'd make a good step-mother? I'd be supportive of Kagami and Tendou's love.

So, I'm really in love with Kamen Rider Kabuto these days. It's giving me just exactly what I love from toku: a near-flawless blend of serious plot, strong character development, and insane crack. I would pimp the show harder, but TV-Nihon's BT page is still down. So another time.

I uploaded a few caps from eps 26 & 27. In the Duel pic (#4), does anyone recognize the actor on the left? There's another pic of him, without glasses, below it. He seems familiar, somehow. Or maybe just really, really pretty.

Tendou

Hiyori

Duel!

Who is this guy?

Daisuke, after the duel

Tendou's, er, bike.

by 'bike' they mean 'phallic object' I take it.

[prillalar]

If you can think of a way to make that bike more phallic, I'd like to hear it. :D

So wait, is this the show that has Katou Kazuki as a make-up artist? I saw a clip of that and nearly died. So... hosty! As in, it was like Ouran High School Host Club come to life. Very odd.

[prillalar]

Yes, that's the one. I suppose if you just saw those clips, it would seem hosty. :) Really, there's a lot more battling monsters than there is make-up.

It took me a while to twig to who he was. He showed up around ep 10 or so. Getting to play a Kamen Rider -- what could be cooler than that?

[maxine-chan.livejournal.com]

lol, if you think that's Host Club-ish, you should watch some of the clips with Kamishiro. He's pretty much the epitome of cliche rich boy types. ^.^ It's great, hehe.

[prillalar]

Oh my god, I never know whether to laugh or cry at him! "I am the man who stands at the top of waiting in line!"

[darkeyedwolf.livejournal.com]

Ooh, I'm digging this Tendou guy and his shiny penis extension. *_______*

[prillalar]

He is fun, that's for sure. And I nearly died the first time his bike transformed into *that*.

[disutansu.livejournal.com]

*stares* He either reminds me of that one evil guy in Garo or... Nephrite in PGSM... but more the former? *stares some more* I think he's just pretty. XD; *nods*

[prillalar]

I'm leaning towards the "just pretty" theory for now. But it's still bugging me. I'll check out your suggestions.

[nuhiep.livejournal.com]

I'm fairly sure that he's Nephrite from the Sailor Moon Live Action. Matsumoto Hiroyuki.



PS: Yes! Please pimp Kabuto! For the good of all humanity.

[prillalar]

Oh, yeah, that could very well be! I'm not very good with faces so when people change their hair, I easily get confused.

Kabuto needs to be pimped far and wide. It will be my project for the week/weekend.

[svz-insanity.livejournal.com]

Okay, pretty! Next question is-- what is this series about? and Why are those people so pretty?

When the site comes back up, do a pimping post! I'm still staring at the guy who's in the second screencap. Um, hello. *stares*

[prillalar]

I will plan out a pimping post! If I can get more people into toku, I will be so happy.

There's a lot of monster fighting in cool outfits and a lot of mystery and angst and a lot of bizarre duels in things like cooking and make-up artistry.

[akahannah.livejournal.com]

So, is there a purpose to the shiny penis extension on the bike? Or is it just there for us to lol at?

[prillalar]

It has a practical purpose too: it's your basic monster stabbing appendage. But, my god, the *shape* of it!

[akatonbo.livejournal.com]

Does the guy you're trying to place have a character name that could be looked up or something? Also, OMG Tendou is hot.

[prillalar]

He was just in the one episode. His name was shown in kanji, but I don't think anyone every said it out loud.

Tendou is very pretty. But I always want to yell, "Get a haircut!" at him.

[maxine-chan.livejournal.com]

Wheee, Kabuto!! Yes, someone definitely needs to do a pimping post, because there are so not enough people watching this!! =P

[prillalar]

I shall start planning one! If enough people watch, then there can be fic and all. :)

[dana-campbell.livejournal.com]

How much do I love you for pimping Kamen Rider Kabuto? So much!

And that guy... I don't recognize him, but don't they have cameos from other Kamen Rider series all the time?

[prillalar]

I love your icon! I will try to get a real pimping post together this week.

And there's a good suggestion about the Mystery Guy in the comments further up the page, along with a pic.

[dana-campbell.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Aside from revealing the secret identity of make-up guy, Nuhiep also made my fabulous icon. <3
