Aimi Satsukawa and the Mechanical Man

Kikaider Reboot

  I’ve been hearing about this new “Kikaider” reboot that’s supposed to be coming out soon for quite some time now, but I have to say these remake versions don’t hold a lot of interest for me as my connection with the character is purely to the original TV series. The streamlined 90's “cyborg" version and even the darker anime update didn’t interest me, but I’ve discovered that there IS something that I kind of want to see in this new movie: Aimi Satsukawa!!!!

Aimi with Nagasaku Hiromi in Funuke Domo

   As you may recall, I’ve loved Aimi ever since her appearance as the beleaguered little sister of crazy Eriko Sato in the phenomenally awesome “Funuke Domo, Kanashimi no ai wo Misero ~ Show Some Love, You Losers!” ...

in "Going my Home"

Aimi in Gekiryuu Watashi wa Oboetemasku

...as well as her turns in dramas like "Galcir" with Toda Erika, “Going My Home” with Hiroshi Abe and the recent drama “Gekiryuu~Watashi Wa Oboetemasuka?” with Rena Tanaka et al, WELL, in the new Kikaider movie, she’s playing none other than freaking MITSUKO KOMYOJI!!!! SUGOI!

Satsukawa Aimi as Komyoji Mitsuko

 There’ve been many, many young actresses I love who have come from Tokusatsu and Sentai beginning (Ryoko Kobayashi and Miki Honoka among them), this is the first time I’m following a drama actress towards her Sentai career! Okay, NOW I gotta SEE this Kikaider reboot!
