Mashin Sentai Kiramager Press Conference details
1 Attachment(s)
Happening now, first meeting of the cast & crew.
*Kirame Red- Juru Atuta *Kiramei Blue / Shigure Oshikiri *Kiramei Yellow / Tametomo Imizu *Kiramei Green / Sena Hayami *Kiramei Pink / Sayo Ooharu and Kiramaizin! |
That mecha is the best since... god, it's the best in decades honestly. I think this is genuinely my favourite Sentai mech ever.
|
Rather unique to have the Red Zord. Usually it forms either the head, the torso, or both.
|
Not the greatest mecha, not the worst. The chest piece is oversized and I'm worried how it'll look as a toy.
|
AHHHHHHAAHAHAHAHAHHHHH Pikotaro is their mentor! :lolol
|
Wait, is the red zord the legs? Interesting.
|
KirameBlue is a stunt actor ?, oh god please don't make him like Dax from Power Rangers Operation Overdrive

Hasbro better be paying attention! P. S.: Are there individual shots of the vehicles yet!? |
Yo, that mech looks sick. I may actually have to import the minipla for this one.
Does anybody else get slight Ultraman vibes from the head? |

And it seems like based on some of the Japanese news sites they say he is their tech guy so he might not be their commander per se and more like Q from the James Bond movies. I guess we will have to wait and see. |

Kanon
is a power ranger oh god and Crow from GARO is the blue one. Jesus I might watch my first full sentai series just for them. |
Somehow this show feels like a love letter to the 80s, 90s, and 2000s aesthetically. The villain with its human mouth exposed is fresh out of the 1980s. The suits and mecha feel more 2000s, and the civilian outfits are straight 1990s. It’s a clash of styles but I really enjoy what they have done here.
Kiramaizin is as beautiful as I thought it would be. The light coming through the crystal parts is stunning. Wouldn’t surprise me if a P-Bandai version with lights was made available. I do have some complaints though. Not a fan of Kiramaizin proper being the RYG combo. All five should be the base combo, but thankfully it looks like all 5 are meant to combine unlike Ryusoulger. The other complaint is that blue is only a sword in the 5 piece combo. It’s kind of a bummer, but they do look good altogether. I can’t wait to see the toy version. |
Haha, Kanon's actor is pink ranger now. The last time I saw her was in Silent Siren's video for the song "Hero". :)
And yeah, the simple helmet & suit design and ESPECIALLY the shiny (blinking?) mecha design are homages to 80's visual styles. Yep, this season gives off strong 80s/90s nostalgia vibe. Can I play Time After Time now? :D |
Kanon may now be a Sentai member, but what blows my mind even more is that they got the Pen Pineapple Apple Pen guy in this.
Oh. My. Stars. |
It's a miracle! The zords actually do some transforming.
|
Hell yeah seems like the sleek mecha is going to be the standard now.
Bandai really needs to start making model kits of the Sentai mechas other than Minipla, hell even make a return of Super Robot Chogokin. I really want a Kishiryuoh figure! |
Kiramaizin looks Kiramazing! (*insert Aruto's joke pose*)
I wonder if they intended that pun. |

I want to see more of the villains now! The non-human mouth villain had a head design like a crescent moon which makes me think of Geilton/Cursed Armor from Abaranger (Zeltrax in Dino Thunder) and, by default, Neo-Geilton from the Kyoryuger VS. Go-Busters Movie (Snide in Dino Supercharge). |
Does anyone have a link to the video? I can't seem to find it anywhere.
|
First there was Genius Gamer M...Now we have Genius Gamer T.
|
Also the team pose is certainly uh, unique I have to say.

This should help. |

I mean yeah it is nothing new where famous comedians and veteran actors play the grown-up mentor, but I did NOT expect the man who gifted us with PPAP to take the mantle. :lolol By the way, I want to point out a correction. That info about Blue being a stunt double is wrong. He is specifically described as a "popular good-looking action star" so in essence I guess it is safe to say he is an amalgamation of Hurricane Blue and Gokai Blue because he is a celebrity who is wicked with a sword. And aside from Red/Juru's name being an obvious pun on JEWEL, Mabusheena is a pun of the Japanese phrase"Mabushii na" which translates to "How bright". |
There's a lot of things I like in that trailer. I'm pretty excited! It took me a while to warm up to the Kiramager's suits, but I really like them.

I guess I'm impressed...
But what kind of sixth ranger you all expect to see? Would like to see two more rangers where they are in opposite sides. A marine vehicle please? |
I really like the ending song! I dunno why, but it reminds me of Magiranger's ending song.

I hate the megazord so much that I love it. I want the toy!

So looking up the kanjis the names feel like they are somehow referring to gems or their characteristics and traits.
Juru as I have previously stated is a pun on 'jewel', but if you break down his name further, it means 'abundance of gems/precious stones'. The 'I(pronounced like the letter E in this case)' in Tametomo's surname Imizu means to shoot or archery, and reflects his position as the sharpshooter of the team. It also can be found in the Japanese word for Sagittarious, Ite-za. Tametomo is likely a reference to Minamoto no Tametomo, a 12th century samurai who was considered a skilled archer. The 'Se' in Sena means 'water rapids', reflecting her position as the speedster of the team. The 'Kiri' in Shigure's surname Oshikiri means to 'cut/slash' reflecting his position as the swordsman of the team. The 'Haru' in Sayo's surname Oharu means to 'heal'. Sayo's name might also be a reference to the fairy tale The Nightingale, which is called 'Sayo Nakidori' in Japanese, as well as Florence Nightingale, the famous nurse in relations to her job as a doctor. |
Hmmm.. I Like the megazord. It looks ok.
|
I love the extravagant poses they strike after transforming, it looks like something out of ballet or figure skating! All the fight footage looks really stylish too, and hopefully the mecha fights will be good too since we have another agile-looking mech. Not really feeling the villain designs, maybe once we see more of them a good aesthetic will emerge but what I saw in the trailer just looked random.
|
Where's the Mecha toys? Argh.
|
Also want to point out that KiramePink actress was also Kanon in Kamen Rider Ghost. I didn't realise it earlier was because I pretty almost forgot everything about Ghost's side cast.
|
So I guess the personalities for the rangers are Juru is a creative artsy type, Tametomo is the cool kid, Sena is sharp and quick-witted, Shigure is the stoic silent type, and Sayo is the kind and caring big sister who got skills. Interesting mix.
Fun fact, aside from playing Crow in GARO, Shigure's actor was also the voice of Al in the live-action Fullmetal Alchemist. |
Oh wow, I really like both the OP and the ED. This is probably something only I care about, but it was a really pleasant surprise to see Shouko Fujibayashi is the lyricist for both. I don't think she's written anything for Sentai since Go-Busters*, and that's a shame when every time they use her, we get songs that line up with the themes of the show perfectly.
Like, that opening, right? It's great. Has a classic Sentai sound, and the upbeat, optimistic feel that comes with that. But right away there's a specific reference to something that's obviously going to be a huge part of the series, by likening a sense of hope for your future to the freedom and potential of drawing the first line in a blank sketchbook. You know, that thing our Red this year has? That's wonderful. It's the extra mile you don't always get, even in songs I'm still fond of, like Ryusoulger's theme. *EDIT: Disregard that bit, I thought wrong! I just went and looked up her credits and it turns out she's actually been doing Sentai songs on a regular basis since then. I have no idea how I was unaware this entire time the ちょーかっこイーグル pun in Zyuohger's ED was her work. My mind is a little blown right now. :lol |
