Right about now I'm wishing it were Christmas in Japan circa 1978.

Tokusatsu Gargleblaster!

While reading up on Matsushita yesterday I learned of their involvement with National Kid, a live action hero show from 1960 that I'd never heard of (news flash: I didn't grow up in Japan in the late 1950's) so I went to YouTube et viola, he's the first in a string of heroes in this brain-meltingly cool montage. After watching these cut scenes set to OP themes I'm convinced that the Toku shows post 1989 tend to bite. I'm also reminded of how weird Brazil is.

It keeps dancing and dancing . . .

Dopey, but hey, this is P.G. and beer is just part of the equation.

Personally I think the profits should be used to send drunks into space : /
