This was aired in Japan a decade before Power Rangers aired in the US I have been making my way through Space Sheriff Gavan and it has been pretty fun. Kenji Ohba's performance is great and sometimes silly like in episode 18 where the hermit turtle guy obsessed in trying to find Princess Otohime (complete with the Cinderella slippers bit), Gavan uses a disguise that "Hunter Killa" sees right through, he pulls off the goatee and mustache then Gavan blows the briefest of raspberries. I ran back that scene so many times. Haha. Every episode ending with the monster blowing up is awesome as it hilarious for some reason. I don't know why. Also, the friggin' cartoon spring "boing" sound effect when he summons the electroplate armor. Your mention of Power Rangers reminded me of what I thought when the Makuu Space element was brought up since the very first episode feeling very much like Rita Repulsa's "Make my monster grow!". Different visuals but both doubling the monster's strength and prolonging the fight to bring out the Laser Blade followed by a wave attack finisher (Gavan Dynamic!).

He was 1 of the costumed stuntmen in a few Sentai series, then he became 1 of the main characters in the several Super Sentai series. Then he was Gavan. He also guessed in the next 2 metal heroes series (Sharivan & Shredder), even when he was battling cancer.

Makuu space thing was unique to the 3 Metal heroes series. The Super Sentai / Power Rangers series & Kamen Riders mostly fight on earth. Reviving destroyed monsters is pretty much in most super sentai series. If you have time, try to watch the Zyuuranger series, which was the base for Power Rangers seasons 1&2. It is interesting to see the differences between the 2. For example, Goldar has a wife in Zyuuranger. IIRC she only appeared once in MMPR This Youtube channel has those old shows in continuous rotations. They also have Speed Racer, Digimon, Ultraman, and Godzilla series and movies https://www.youtube.com/@TokuSHOUTsu/videos?view=2&sort=dd&live_view=501&shelf_id=1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOrcKing Posted September 24 Author Share Posted September 24 I heard this song a couple times as a kid and only just finally found it after 30+ years. Damn. The last ten or so seconds gets faded out in this recording unfortunately. Ah well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since you bring up saxophone... add a girl walking on a beach... plus playing in front of audience in a concert.... How much 80s can this video be ???

How much 80s can this video be ??? (Big hair is a given HA!) Big hair, long hair, weird hair, everyone had a 'do, boys & girls alike. Saxophone and synthesizers were peak 80s. I recall the Yamaha DX7, the Juno and Jupiter by Roland. I cannot remember who, but I do remember someone saying drums recorded in analog sound better than digital. And I tend to agree. Drums through analog resonant with a powerful "oomph" whereas pure digital sounds so clean you can hear the stick hitting the plastic and the physical reverberation through the physical drum itself more than the actual beat produced. Almost like hearing a pick scraping across the strings of a guitar. Just sounds odd to my ears. Also peak 80s, trippy visuals and bizarre effects telling a story that barely makes a lick of sense or has anything to do with the lyrics but it certainly keeps your attention so who cares. Ha. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
