To make a reference nobody is going to get, I'm going to master 2024 song nominations by the year 2024!
The theme of the new year- Tokusatsu! That's Japanese for special effects... and more functionally, that's weird nerd for "Japanese shows and/or movies with cool practical effects generally involving people in elaborate rubber suits with explosives strapped right to them that go off when they get kicked and stuff" and that still covers kind of a lot. Mainly though it's, Godzilla type things and superhero stuff. And you know, superhero stuff from Japan kinda hits different.
I am way, way into this sorta thing, and I recognize that the rest of you aren't, but you don't have to watch these to appreciate the music from them. Just looking at opening theme songs, skip through these here super-cuts!
Here's every Super Sentai show, the ones people hack to pieces to make Power Rangers.
Here's every Ultraman. You all vaguely know Ultraman, right?
Here's every Kamen Rider show. Those ones I'm particularly so into.
And Metal Heroes. That covers most of the miscellany. Of course there are still outliers like Zubat.
But that's just opening theme songs. There's also ending themes. Cool incidental stuff like particular character/power-up tunes. There's remixes. There's stuff that's not specifically from Japan. Power Rangers still counts, we all like that squeedly Bulk&Skull theme. Pacific Rim counts, no problem. Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog I guess but the music is terrible. Just about anything goes, really.
So... yeah, you know how these things go. Gimme a bunch of nominations. Like, 4 per person, maybe more if not a lot of people are on board. I'll mix in some obscure ones, we do the whole vote off thing. Since it's the end of the year and stuff's going on, take a couple extra days and let's arbitrarily say just arbitrarily say...
Get your submissions in by like, 6 AM Eastern or something, January 3rd.
