Okay so, as you know, while there were a few Kamen Rider movies in the 90's, there weren't any actual television series. I thought it would be fun to come up with some pitches for KR shows with a distinctly "90's" flavor.
KAMEN RIDER GX (1994 - 1995) Series Brief: Show Genki is a musician, a guitarist with the best chops in all of Kyushu. His dream is to move to Tokyo and join the popular "Visual Kei" band, D'arc Spider Ice. His father, Show Jutok, however, is pressuring him to take over the family business - become a Kamen Rider! Genki runs away to catch his dream, but the dream soon turns out to be a nightmare when it turns out that D'arc Spider Ice isn't just a a band, but the front for a race of inter-dimensional beings - the D'arc - who need human females to reproduce!! Now the son must use the burden of his station to eradicate the D'arc from Earth and become the light of star! Characters: Show Genki / Kamen Rider GX - Main character. 19 years old. Big hair! Flashy dresser! Show Jutok / Kamen Rider GG - Genki's father and the Rider of Kyushu. Show Shiina - Genki's mother who doesn't want Genki to be a Rider. Doesn't want him to be a musician either. He should be a dentist! Ringo Ayumi - A young pop journalist investigating the mysterious D'arc Spider Ice, saved by GX. Sakkidatta Baka / Kamen Rocker Punk - a street roaming punk rock kid who isn't what he seems! Koinu - The lead singer / head monster of D'arc Spider Ice. Girls love him as he looks about as cuddly as his namesake - but he's a calculating tactician - very dangerous. Keiren - The 1st bassist monster of D'arc Spider Ice. Swings between being calm and frenzied. Pinky - Drummer of D'arc Spider Ice. Acts dumb, but is plotting to take over the band! BAD - 1st guitarist of D'arc Spider Ice. Hates Earth and wants to accelerate Project Rock Web so he can leave ASAP. When his sloppy actions allow Ringo Ayumi to witness his true nature, he is killed by Koinu. Crooky - 2nd guitarist of D'arc Spider Ice. Steals Genki's visage, expecting to use his life as cover. Of course, this doesn't work out so well for him! Ondori Joe - 2nd bassist of D'arc Spider Ice. A true blue D'arcian musician, Joe is just along for the ride, more into playing than fighting. Too bad he has to do that, too. Kansen Keys - Keyboardist and "minion engine" of D'arc Spider Ice. After his death, D'arc Spider Ice uses his unique cells to create obedient clones to do their bidding. In short - fodder for the Rider's to burn through once and a while. Driver Concept: Since the show has a rock / pop theme, so does the driver. Both the GX and GG driver are, of course, belt like and vaguely shaped like stringed instrument bodies (no neck): GX's looks like a flashy / pointy 'metal' guitar ( like this), GG's looks like a Shamisen - the more traditional Japanese lute. Both have a central set of three, large strings that they strike with a palm sized "soniku pikku" which vibrates their personal space within specific harmonic frequencies where their Rider Armor is kept. Different "soniku pikku" access different forms. The weapons - guitar like axes, guns and swords work on sound based attacks so fights get pretty chaotic. On the belt's sides would be spots for "pedals" which alter the power of the weapon being used - like guitar effects affect the sound of the instrument. There's also microphones, drum machines and synth power ups. Sure, why not! So: Pose down>"Henshin!">String Strike>big guitar/shamisen sound>Armor solidifies into reality as chord fades>Belt says "Rock Action GX" / "Kabuki Action GG" (Kamen Rocker's says "Shut Up!") Armor Concept: Keeping with the music theme, GX would look like he's built out of electric guitars - the helmet would have the trad bug eyes but the jaw / mouth would have stylized pickups across it with strings stretched across them vertically. His chest plate would mimic an amplifier head / P.A. system's metal grate, which has volume and gain knobs across the collar bone area. His voice would sound like it's coming from a speaker, the inference being that it's coming from this area. GG has the strings, but no amp stuff. Instead of pickups in his jaw he has a white skin with the kanji for "norite" (person who rides) emblazoned acoss it as if by ink brush. His armor looks like it's made from finely polished wood and have a Kabuki aspect. Other forms would include a (non-convincing) female aspect, as is part of Kabuki tradition (and makes sense since we're playing with visual kei). Kamen Rocker Punk would look similar to GX, but broken down, duct tape holding parts in place, broken strings hanging off, there's stickers and spray-paint all over it, his chest grate is all banged up, his voice has pops and scant moments of shrieking feedback, his driver sounds "out of tune" when he henshins, anyone nearby comments on a mysterious bad smell. That's what I just pulled outta my ass! Still working out the bikes! Anyone else wanna try?

I have never heard of that and I consider myself to be a big Rider fan, shame on me.

We're just making up Rider ideas to occupy the 90's gap
