Finding/buying Toku music

Post by HenshinForPie »

Hi all. I'm trying to find and download/buy more Tokusatsu music, but with Avex blocking Western exports, I feel like this might be difficult. I've found only two Kamen Rider related songs on Spotify, (Remix of RX theme and Climax Jump) but I don't know where to find others there or on Pandora/iTunes. Any tips?

I kind of forgot this was a thing. Guess it's been a while since I've been interested in buying a toku CD.

Has anyone established a workaround? If they don't want to sell it to you, time to put on your pirate hat, I guess!

(Or you could try asking Lunagel very very nicely~)

I know you can buy stuff off Amazon Japan or iTunes Japan if you have a gift card, which are usually available digitally.

In America, iTunes has Gaim's opening, a few incidental songs (mostly from Kamen Rider Girls), and the Kamen Rider Generations Final soundtrack (including at least the ending song).
Watching:
Kamen Rider Kuuga, Gotchard

Watched:
KR W, Gaim, Ghost - Build, Geats
Ultraman '66, Leo, Great, Nexus - U7X, Ginga - Blazar
Donbrothers
GS Sho, Dogengers S1-4

If you make a Japanese iTunes account you can purchase most of the stuff easily. You'll need to buy Japanese iTunes gift cards from somewhere like Play Asia to get funds though as you need a matching region credit card for iTunes accounts typically.

Other than that, like Take said, channel your inner Gokaiger.
