Obviously, they're not artists of the same caliber, but I don't know that the comparison to Bowie is that far off, at least within the milieu of the genre.

The Bowie comparison just didn't follow for me because he was such a master of self-reinvention whilst Inoue has more of a particular style. In the context of the above, I see what you mean.

He's also unquestionably a big part of Heisei Kamen Rider, and it follows for him to be involved with the end-of-an-era celebration.
