Masaru Nagai (TimeRed) is another one who now pretends he was never in tokusatsu and won't let anyone talk about it ever. I heard that he was once on a show with Tori Matsuzaka (ShinkenRed) and Matsuzaka made comments indirectly critical of ex-toku actors trying to deny how their careers started ... I'd like to see that clip :laugh:
Yes. To be honest - I don't care about Joe Odagiri. Godai/Original Kuuga's gone for me(I don't even think that I have ever liked Godai to begin with). I really enjoyed Ryouta Murai's play in Decade. Onodera/Kuuga is one of my favorite Riders. I'd happy If I had a chance to see him again. But TimeRed... is one of the best Reds in Sentai(and Timeranger is one of my favorite Sentai), especially in pair with Naoto/Timefire. So It really make me fell sad, knowing that he probably won't even return or come in touch with fans.

I don't think the thing about Nagai is true. On a Christmas special this year, they listed Nagai's credits and deliberately mentioned him making his debut as TimeRed in Timeranger, so I doubt he has anything against the show. I can understand him not wanting to be just known for a show (Which is hard for Nagai and Odagiri, since Kuuga and Timeranger were so good, plus they themselves are popular actors), but yeah. I don't think he has anything against it.

But if it makes us feel better, at least Tamayama Tetsuji liked his role as Gao Silver.

I thought that was a rumor.

Given the frequency of this topic, what exactly constitutes as "porn" in Japan? I would imagine the boundary line varies between countries. Were these people simply in movies with nudity that people construed as pornographic, or was it actual porn?

Wait, WHAT?

You mean the modeling books, right? Cause I can name a few toku actors who do those. Like Ryosuke Miura.

I think Hiroaki Iwanaga does them, too.

Actually, I think the main actors from OOO besides Watanabe have all done a few.

Maybe it's because I'm male, but I just can't envision the idea of a male model photobook/shoot. It seems like a bad imitiation a female model shoot. Who are the women that supposedly buy this stuff?
