All right! Did everyone have fun with this week's reference game? The winner this week is: @Renegade the Unicorn
The answer I was looking for was: Kamen Rider Ryuki! (Although some of you might be familiar with the American adaption, Kamen Rider Dragon Knight. Which is kind of funny, since "Kamen" was left untranslated, yet "Dragon Knight" is a literal version of the word "Ryuki".)
Thursday's reference was the lyrics from the opening theme, "Alive A Life".
Tuesday's reference was the lyrics from the Ryuki RIDER TIME special theme song, "Go! Now! ~Alive A Life Neo~"
Didn't win this time? That's okay! I'll be referencing another Kamen Rider next week. I hope everyone can be a winner!

@PoisonClaw I'm not surprised. Ryuki just has a special magic to it. Even before the American adaption, many people who don't usually like Tokusatsu or anything related to Power Rangers were happy to give Ryuki a try and change their tune as soon as they saw it. Ryuki is one of those toku that treats itself more like a drama, and treats the audience a bit more maturely because of it. It's almost no wonder that specific series was chosen by the Wang Bros/Adness.

@Bas Well, there was one episode of Detective Conan/Case Closed that had posters for Kiva, Den-O, and Faiz as an easter-egg in the background. But I don't think Ryuki ever appeared on that show.
Unless you're talking about Kamen Yaiba, which is Detective Conan's obvious parody/homage to Kamen Rider.
