October 30, 2023November 10, 2023 Billy "TaJa" Doyle

Good morning Heroes, and happy Monday, as we are one day away from celebrating Halloween 2023! Now, today we have an interview that has been sitting in our backlog since last December. However, what delayed everything was scheduling, editing mishaps, and ‘corporate okays’ pertaining to what our guests could say. Unfortunately, during this time, the educational streaming Narō TV announced it would be closing its door by 2024. Yet, rather than cancelling the interview outright, our guests are allowing us to share what Narō TV was about. Especially, since the…

Last weekend, Power Morphicon’s sister-show Japan World Heroes had its third event, and it was held in Burbank, California. Additionally, this year’s convention seemed to be the most packed for its guest roster when compared to previous ones. Coincidentally, like its first event, Japan World Heroes 2023 managed to host lead talents from the big three tokusatsu franchises. For the Ultra Series, the convention featured the “First Lady of Ultra” Hiroko Sakurai, and Ultraman Gaia star Takeshi Yoshioka.

Hello there Hero-Club, this is ZeltraxMillennium returning again, and today I have a new interview for the site. Surprisingly, this time our guest is none other than voice actress and ADR director, Lia Sargent. Whereas, for those unaware of Lia’s roles, she has been part of the English dubbing industry since the 80’s. However, most of Lia’s notable work occurred throughout the 90’s and early 2000’s like being Street Fighter’s Chun-Li anime voice. Now, Lia does not do video interviews, so the following is specifically text based and was conducted…

On Sunday, December 18th, Hero-Club held its first-ever live interview on Twitch, thus launching our interview subseries Hero-Club LIVE. To verify, this series will be for whenever interview guests want to meet up for long durations. In addition, the guests are allowing us to interview them in front of a virtual audience, and accept viewer participation. However, we are uncertain if future Hero-Club LIVE interviews will remain exclusively on Twitch or shared on YouTube moving forward. Then as for our first guest in the series, it is actor, stuntman,…

[Interview] Tokusatsu Director & Producer Takeshi Yagi

December 7, 2022October 22, 2023 Billy "TaJa" Doyle

Today, Hero-Club is presenting its newest interview, which we previously alluded to in our interview with Ultraman Max’s Sean Nichols. Also, Sean Nichols should be considered as the initial mastermind behind this current interview altogether. Especially, when it was Sean who helped to network and connect us with our guest that we are featuring today. So, we really have to further thank Sean, as this entire interview would probably not be happening without him. Now, as the title of this article states, our guest is former Tsuburaya Productions director and…

For those unaware, immediately after our interview with him from Power Morphicon 2022, we looked to schedule another one. Surprisingly, we were able to quickly arrange at date, and meet up to talk more in-depth about Super7. This time we wanted to go more in-depth with our questions, and give Kyle as much time as he needed. Also, we wanted to use the time to discuss the other brands that Super7 collaborates…

Today, Hero-Club is releasing its second interview that was conducted at Power Morphicon 2022, which was held last month. Now, our guest for this interview is the lead designer on Super7’s Ultimates and ReAction Power Rangers figures, Kyle Wlodyga. Surprisingly, we jump right into things, and forgo typical introductions to talk about the ULTIMATES line. So, we get some clarity on why certain characters are chosen, and how waves are assorted. In addition, Kyle tells us what things regarding Power Rangers most interest him, and history with the franchise. Whereas,…
