I'm watching 24 Japan, I'm 2 episodes in, and I'm pleased to see a number of toku alums on the cast. Zyuoh Shark plays a party girl while Dr. Maki plays her dad and Kamen Rider Build plays her shady hook up.
Episode 2 features new Gavan as a CTU agent while Bouken Silver plays a security agent. I like the show so far. It maintains the tension that 24 is known for. And I like that they started at 12 midnight as it ramps up the excitement level more than if they started at daytime. So, hoping for a few more toku alums to pop up in the next epidodes. There is already a couple of faces that look familiar to me though I can't place what show I've seen them from. One of them I think was in LuPat but I'm not too sure. But I'm just glad to see them in what I believe is a major show in Japan.

It's an adaptation of 24, the Kieffer Sutherland action series. Basically it's 24 episodes of 1 day. Episode 1 was 12 AM to 1 Am. Epsode 2 is 1 AM to 2 AM. and so on. It follows a CTU (Counter Terrorist Unit) agent trying to stop an assasination plot against a Prime Minister candidate on election day while his daughter is also kidnapped in what could be a related plot.
The original 24 series was pretty good. High intensity, great tension and a lot of action. So far from the 2 episodes I've seen of 24 Japan it is living up to its name.

Fun fact, Toshiaki Karasawa who plays the Jack Bauer of the show, was the Riderman suit actor for the ZX one-shot. He is also Kenji in the live action 20th Century Boy movies that co-stars toku alumni Hirofumi Araki aka Leo from Gekiranger and Masato Irie aka Kamata/Abyss from Kamen Rider Decade.

I'm at episode 14 now and another toku face has popped up: Otoya Kurenai has now joined the fray. And it looks like he will have a big role to play in the second half as he plays an assassin. Sad though that he wouldn't have a scene with Build, would have been nice to see them here together.

It would be funny if Banjo pops up here too.

Sometimes coincidences can be great. I just watched the Vulcan-Valkyrie v-cinext before I watched episode 16 and seeing Raiden in v-cinext and seeing him in this episode I was like how did I not recognize him? He even have the same blonde hair and he was featured quite often. Oh well there you go another toku face on the show. Oh and the other one who I was trying to remember where I saw him from I believe was Dr. Pacman in the Ex-Aid movie. It just dawned on me when I saw this episode.

I'm at episode 20 now and another toku face has shown up. Tadokoro from Kabuto appears as the leader of a mercenary group hired by the villains.
Just 4 more episodes. I wonder if there will still be toku alums to appear. I'm just happy to watch and go "hey it's ______ from _____!". I'm positively delighted.
