[Kamen Rider Die]

So, I'm on my phone a minute ago, and there's a news story from Tokusatsu Network about a bunch of Sentai music getting put up on streaming music services like Spotify and Apple Music. (It covered here, too, but I didn't notice before.) "Huh," I thought, "I subscribe to Apple Music. It's too bad I'm not into Sentai. I wish they'd release some Kamen Rider music, but it's probably not big enough in the US for them to bother. I don't know, I'll check anyway, lemme just type in Kamen RiOH SHIT there's decades of music available!"

You all probably already know this, but I sure didn't, and now that I can listen to the Drive theme song everywhere I'm not sure I'll ever listen to anything else.

It got me curious, though, about how into the music of Kamen Rider other fans are. I don't really spend a lot of time listening to the fight songs or even most of the openings outside of the context of watching an episode. I like some, a lot, but it's not the sort of thing I listen to on its own. Maybe now I will?

(That said, I have fallen down a rabbit hole or two of watching YouTube videos of people covering Kamen Rider songs in weird ways, piano versions of rock songs, that kind of thing.)

How about you? Do you find yourself listening to Kamen Rider music when you aren't watching Kamen Rider shows? How often? Any unusual faves?
