My overall enjoyment on Revice really hinges on Reiwa Supaidaman, huh. I watch most of the Revice episodes with a straight face, but Dear Gaga got me smiling and feeling sad in its 15-minute runtime.

I love this bit of exploration on Hiromi's childhood home, the people that cheered him on and supported him from the sidelines as he became captain and later Kamen Rider. Those childhood pictures of Hiromi were actually Junya Komatsu's own child photos, which is a neat detail! I'm going off without subs, so anything I know is just basing on context and what few japanese words I recognize

Hiromi faked his memory loss to get the two Igarashis to leave, and told his Gaga what really happened. The shame of it broke Hiromi. But we get to see how much his sincerity and words affected everyone. There was Yuki, a kid who went to Hiromi and asked how to become a Kamen Rider, and there was Yasu, a strawberry farmer who is physically struggling with his work but Hiromi's words of "giving it your all as a hero" is what encourages him every day to continue. Seeing the town celebrate around the television when Hiromi came to screen on the first episode was nice.

Wakabayashi is here, I don't know what he is though. Either he's a ghost, a figment of Hiromi's imagination, or his inner (demon?) thoughts manifested in the form of Wakabayashi encourages him that running away is a valid option in life but denies that he really did lose his memories. He's still pushing him, but more so to do what really wants in life. That there's more he wants to do besides staying with his mom.

But his Gaga is suffering from some kind of condition. At Wakabayashi's last push to get Hiromi back up, Hiromi strengthens his resolve but finds his Gaga in critical condition.

Edit: Also his father is dead. Looks to be some sort of police office.

Edit again: Yuki is also a strawberry thief that Hiromi finds.
