I was planning to do Ultraman Week and Girl Power Week 2. In respect to the natural disaster and tragedies in Japan, I have decided to not post anything else this week, unless important and or pressing. My heart goes out to those who lost their homes, or love ones. I personally know three people in Japan that are dear friends, I hope the best for my friends David Shaw, Danny Torres and Jill Sylvan. Jill Sylvan, a fellow website webmaster I've known since 1999 -- Sentai Spoilers, which is now on hiatus, is all right. Danny Torres is a pal I chatted with online and he moved from the United States to Japan and has met a lot of former Sentai cast. David Shaw, is my friend from college who is now teaching children English and has no Sentai relations (nor a big fan). So my prayers are there for them, the Japanese citizens and the whole world, in fact.
Hallwings says: This has got to be the first major pre-emption of Super Sentai (and tokusatsu in general, since other series were affected by this) since the death of Emperor Hirohito (Showa) all the way back in 1989. [But they didn't delay airings in 1995 for the 6.8 earthquake that hit the Hanshin region.] This was a 9-er, along with major tsunami.
I don't have much to back up the information or any other info on any other delays. On January 7, 1989, Emperor Hirohito Shōwa died. Choujuu Sentai Liveman aired in 1989.
Cast & Crews' well-beings:
Yuki Yamada (Gokai Blue) did recently update his blog earlier today, saying that he is fine and safe.

Uh, Hirohito (Showa) died on January 7, 1989, not Septemer 19, 1988. Plus, Maskman aired from February 28, 1987 to February 20, 1988.
Oh, and I get my information from Wikipedia (both English and Japanese). Don't crucify me because I rely on it so much.
I have way too much time on my hands.
no one is crucifying anyone
I know. It's just people say that Wikipedia is very unreliable.
The Japanese Wikipedia is a bit more reliable when it comes to tokusatsu info (which is natural, since tokusatsu shows are Japanese products made for Japanese viewers).
glad that every single known Gokai cast and crew are safe. i think they'll take a couple weeks off to help with the earthquake/tsunami damage
What about all my pretty rider boys?

I'm proud of you lavender. Your on disaster hiatus just like the shows. At least tv asahi and toei are comitted to their fans enough to show news footage and simply move the scheduled episodes down to next week, unlike fox which showed 9/11 footage but instead of moving the upcoming episode of pr to next week, they just skipped to the episode after that.
im getting really worried now about everyone in japan now radiation i am thinking how will japanese life return to normal i wonder hows parents are explaining this to children in japan
If only I could read kanji....
If they get relocated to America, I hope they can live with me.
Here's an idea... everybody in Japan should wear plastic toku suits so they can be protected from the radiation!
