I'd link you what I believe is the song you're talking about, but, uh, the video uses an image of Kuuga's final form so...
Either way, if it's the one I think you're talking about, yeah. I fuckin' love that track! It's essentially Kuuga's insert before inserts were a thing and it always gets stuck in my head from time to time. It's just got such a good beat and pace to it. |

Is it this?
This is generally the track people think when they think Kuuga. Although bits and pieces of it are mixed in all over the place, which is one of the great things about the soundtrack. I adore Toshihiko Sahashi's work, and one thing about Kuuga in particular is the really strong use of motifs for everything. He's also just crazy varied in terms of what styles he can do. He did the BGM for Agito, Hibiki, Den-O, and Zi-O too, so look forward to that.

I'll give this one more shot, but "exciting guitar shreddage" describes a lot of tracks from Kuuga, so this might be hard to narrow down.

Anyway, it's such a cool bit of fight music. I miss the dialogue and driver noises and stuff of the later Heisei fight scenes, so aggressive music like that makes the fight scenes feel, I don't know, thicker, like there's more going on.

MASKED RIDER KUUGA EPISODE 20
So, uh, yeah. Sorry! This last month has been relentlessly busy (built a new store, my birthday happened, Thanksgiving, etc.) and I had to take a time-out on, like, everything nonessential. No Kuuga for Kamen Rider Die, unfortunately. Luckily, things have settled into merely So Much Work and I'm able to get back on the Kuuga viewings. It was incredibly gracious of the production team to time this episode for my return to the series (that's how time works right?), what with it being a relaxed check-in with every character and every plotline. I was a little afraid I'd've forgotten too much in the last month, but I was able to follow what was happening in the episode. Did, y'know, did anything happen in this episode? I liked that this one took pains to show that there were stakes to Godai's death and resurrection, even if Godai is his typical goofy self, but it maybe spent too long on acknowledging stakes. There needs to be a middle ground between Neo Heisei's "walk it off” attitude to being cosmically eradicated and reconstructed, and half an episode of people telling a Kamen Rider that they're glad he isn't dead anymore. Maybe if the episode was structured differently? It's very, very front-loaded with dialogue scenes and emotional connections, with a monster attack only occurring at the very end. Worse, it's a monster we've already seen Kuuga beat, and one who doesn't even blow up at the end. It's an anticlimactic fight (which is noted in a way that I assume they'll come back to) in an episode that desperately needed some kind of big action finish. (There was a very cool shot, though. After Kuuga defeats the monster, as he's standing next to Ichijou, the camera pushes in on Ichijou past Kuuga, then pulls back out and it's Godai standing there. One fluid camera move, no edits or effects. Totally immersive. Big round of applause for that shot.) So, yeah, weird one to come back to. It felt like a nice refresher, but it was hardly the rousing superhero show that'd get me back in a good routine. I am trying to get back in a good routine! I promise not to disappear again. Unlike Ichijou and Godai's dead fathers (ALL DADS ARE DEAD), I won't abandon you.

Worse, I have two!
If anyone's in Chicago and wants to talk Kamen Rider at a comics shop, nothing would make me happier.

Congrats on the new store!

Honestly I think at this point that Kuuga as a whole might not be your kind of rousing superhero show, but I hope you'll have found plenty to like about it by the time you reach the end.
Congrats and all the best with whatever more work comes your way! |
