Hello there, my crowd! Welcome to my Weekly Musings: Red Edition. 

[I ❤ JAPAN] -- [I ❤ THE COLOR RED] -- [I ❤ CELESTIA]

   Feel free to leave a song request. Your song will eventually be featured in a future Weekly Musings entry!   

Hello, my crowd!  Sorry the delay on this one. Got no excuses this time.

 The biggest things that happened to me over the past week were: I got an item that I ordered online (it came from China, so it took forever to reach me), and I installed some shelves in my shed with my uncle's help. It was tough work in this heat wave we seem to be experiencing, but we got it done! And while he initially hated my fan idea, he eventually asked for it. 

 I saw some awesome pop culture stuff! The logo for the new Masters of the Universe movie dropped. I really have no idea what to feel; all the promotional art looks perfect but story descriptions I've heard don't inspire hope. I saw a trailer for Aztec Batman; that looks cool. And absolutely no one could have predicted a  Spinal Tap II trailer.

 Power Rangers Re-Ignition finally dropped on Netflix and other platforms. It's just an AI-enhanced rerelease. It upscales the video to 1080p without ruining the quality; but they definitely missed the chance to make it 60fps or some other nice enhancements. Just don't turn on the subs. They are dictated by AI and either incorrect or incomplete half the time. If you have an old DVD/Bluray release of the series, hold on to that. This one isn't anything special. It's only for those who haven't seen the show before and have no other way of seeing it.

 MOVIE TIME!  I saw SUPERMAN (2025)! I won't say much because it's in theaters. Go check it out! I will only say that I think James Gunn did a fabulous job of making the Superman experience we should be having. It's not perfect by any means. There are some minor narrative flaws that I didn't care for. However, for every flaw, there was at least two other things I applaud the movie for doing. I am hoping that this not only becomes successful enough to get a sequel, but that the sequel ends up being even better than the first movie.

That's it for now, my crowd.  Take care, and make a little room.

Happy Birthday, my gwumpy friend~! Hope your special day made you happy. 

Hello there, my crowd! Welcome to my Weekly Musings: Orange Edition. 

[I ❤ JAPAN] -- [I ❤ THE COLOR RED] -- [I ❤ CELESTIA]

   Feel free to leave a video request. Your video will eventually be featured in a future Weekly Musings entry!   

Hey there, my crowd!  Got any cookies?

 So I guess the biggest news is all hard work I've been putting in lately. I am building shelves with my uncle and helping my mother with some late renovations in her kitchen. Honestly, it's kind of exhausting work. Rewarding, but exhausting.  But at least I am getting stuff out of it! My uncle and I did a garage sale run, and I found a bluray player and a VR headset. Also, I will eventually be getting my uncle's old computer desk, which will be better than my current one.

 Can't say I saw any other trailers worth mentioning. Most were just new trailers for stuff I've all ready talked about. But the cast for the live action Zelda movie has been released, at least for the lead characters anyways. Also, a live action MLP movie was announced. Wild~

 [ 1 / 2 ] MOVIE TIME!  First, I saw Beetlejuice Beetlejuice! This movie good, but a little confusing. It was all over the place with its story (at times, I confused two dead guys as the same character), but when the visuals kick in, this movie is great. The actors that reprise their roles still got it! I wish there had been at least one reference to the animated series, but more then that, I wish the movie had prioritized its visuals a little more over the story. So outside of needing some cliffsnotes, when you turn your brain off and just enjoy the visuals, you'll really enjoy it. Especially considering they found a new way to make Beetlejuice into a creep, with a certain visual effect they really should have reconsidered putting in. If you know, you know.

 [ 2 / 2 ] DOUBLE FEATURE!  I also saw Mary Poppins Returns. When this movie first came out, the response around it was lukewarm at best. However, if it had come out now, people would be praising it for being a love letter to both animation and the cinematic arts. The movie borrows many elements from the original before it, yet still manages to be very whimsical and entertaining. The only thing I don't care for is how they really tried to have a villain in this movie. It's not a perfect movie; I would have liked to see Julie Andrews make a cameo at least. However, I don't think it's for me. It's the Mary Poppins movie for a new generation, a younger audience. And it accomplishes that mission quite well.

That's it for now, my crowd.  Take care, and make a little room.

Now this is my kind of humor. Just watch. This is "Losing balance" by Frosted_Derp.

Happy Birthday, RockABro!

TOKUSATSU MUSIC HIGHLIGHT:

"Surprise-Drive" by Mitsuru Matsuoka (EARNEST DRIVE).

AND!

"Saa Ike! Ninninger!" (Let's Go! Ninninger!) by Yohei Onishi.

Surprise and Wasshoi! 
Sorry for the wait, everyone. The year is not-really-2015. Kamen Rider Drive is all-in with its first car-themed Rider, who is also a police officer/detective. Some might recognize the singer of theme song. Mitsuru Matsuoka made his debut a few years earlier in the Kamen Rider Double movie A to Z, where he played the evil Rider character Eternal and also sang the movie's theme song. Here, he is back to sing Drive's opening theme, going straight to the main spotlight. As for Sentai, Ninninger is more of a ninja-themed comedy series, with honorable mentions to the various ninjas that came before, despite the fact that these characters are all on a journey to become the "Last Ninja". This singer got to make a random song for the previous year's ToQger, yet here he is taking the opening theme spotlight.

Fire Up the Ignition in NinJapan, my crowd.

Happy Birthday, Hugsy! You are missed.

You're not seeing things, my crowd. It really is missing, and you probably had all those reactions above! ⬆️⬆️

I genuinely didn't have much to talk about. Not much happened in the previous week, so I decided not to make a weekly summary about it. 
The most that happened was me seeing a movie.

But I'll return at the end of this current week with a proper weekly summary. Until then, you know what to do.

Take care, my crowd.

Happy birthday, my dragon friend!

My crowd.

Get ready,

for...

ZERO-G FRIES!

Happy Friesday, my crowd. 

Hello there, my crowd! Welcome to my Weekly Musings: Red Edition. 

[I ❤ JAPAN] -- [I ❤ THE COLOR RED] -- [I ❤ CELESTIA]

Hello, my crowd!  What a wild race to the finish!

 I guess the biggest news to share, and this one was a while coming... I got a gaming chair!  I am still getting use it. Half the time, I hate the extra optional pillows. Other times, it feels wrong without 'em. It's not new; I got it at a garage sale. But outside of a few minor scuffs, it's practically brand new~! And at $40, it was a steel.

 But that's nothing compared to the news that made my so hyped, I was in tears. The next Kamen Rider TV show was announced. Coming in with #1's color scheme and a chest driver instead of a belt driver; here comes Zeztz. But the best thing about this announcement? It's getting a global release!  Everyone seems to think that this global release will be on Amazon Prime. I would have preferred Crunchyroll, Netlfix, or any other platform. However, I can understand Amazon. It's still worth supporting. I just hope it gets an English dub AND gets aired on American television. That would be the dream come true.

 There's not much I can say about pop culture. Haven't seen any trailers worth mentioning; it's mostly just Superman and Fantastic Four; both are getting closer and closer to release, and I am excited for both.  I am aware their is skepticism towards these movies, surprise-surprise. At this point, I just think we should just give these movies a chance. If they're bad, they're bad. They won't need help to fail. But if they are good, then let them be good and successful!

That's it for now, my crowd.  Take care, and eat something tasty.

ABBA is a strange band for me. I like the style/genre of the music that made them popular, but I don't always care for their personal delivery of these songs. There is a number of their hit songs that I always felt could be done better. And while it is rare of me to take away the glory of the original, this one of those times where I dare say a cover is the superior version. This is "Gimme! Gimme! Gimmie! (A Man After Midnight) - ABBA (Peggy Lee Style Cover) ft. Lauren De Marco" by Postmodern Jukebox.

 There are no emojis strong enough to reflect how proud and how hyped I am.
A dream I once thought impossible is coming true in my lifetime!
It's true, anything could change after this announcement. It might not even become an advertised event. But for now, please, let this be real.

Happy Birthday, Silky~! 
May your birthday cake come with chocolate milk, and may all your days be trouble-free.

Did I miss a status update? 

No, not really.
To those reading this, I know some of you may be wondering where my usual weekly summary is. I post one every Sunday night/Monday morning, if nothing keeps from doing so.

Well I didn't forget. I was a little preoccupied Sunday, but I ultimately realized I didn't have much to share that I haven't all ready shared.
Don't worry, at the end of this week, I'll have way more to report. For now, no big loss. Just didn't have much to say.  But thank you for your patience and understanding.

Here you go, have a random bonus video.

Take care, my crowd. 

Happy Birthday, friend.

TOKUSATSU MUSIC HIGHLIGHT:

"Byun Byun! ToQGer" (Zip Zip! ToQGer) by Project.R.

AND!

"Just Live More" by Gaim no Kaze.

All right! You gotta move. 
Here comes a personal favorite of mine!  The year is sort-of 2014. Gaim is the first samurai-themed Rider show. And despite the silly elements on the surface, the show takes the franchise to new narrative heights we've NEVER seen before! Normally, I don't care for rap. But anything samurai-themed will always be hype for me, and this was rap done right, so it was win-win! The band is normally known as Shonan no Kaze, but they rebranded just for this TV show. And while we're at it, let's mix things up! Some time ago, I shared the ToQGer opening theme, so here's the Ending Theme instead! And after a good while, Project.R takes center stage again. ...Which is ironic, because the ED theme segment was cut out of all physical releases, making this ED theme a mostly TV-exclusive experience.

(I realize you are all expecting a weekly summary. Don't worry, it's on the way~ I just wanted to post this first.)

Don't Say No & Ride The Express, my crowd! 

Happy Birthday, my friend!

Would you like ketchup inside the fries?

...No?

Well maybe you'd prefer a pizza bagel stuffed with cream cheese. 

Happy Friesday, my crowd.

Thank you for the follow~! 
Hope you enjoy Tokusatsu music, because I usually post it once a week, if I can.
