It has all the charm you’d expect from the legendary singer
The dark horse series of 2016, Thunderbolt Fantasy Use traditional Chinese and Taiwanese puppetry to capture the imagination of anime fans around the world. An indispensable person in the production process is Takanori Nishikawa. He not only provided the theme song for the three seasons, but also provided the voice for the red-haired pipa young man Lang Wuyao. To celebrate the singer’s birthday, the puppet company behind Thunderbolt FantasyThunderbolt Puppet, imagines a Nishikawa “puppet”.
X from Pili Puppet Show (formerly twitter) account posted a picture of Nishikawa’s “puppet” on Nishikawa’s birthday, September 19.
【Dongli|Happy birthday to Xichuan Guijiao】
Today is September 19th, Takanori Nishikawa’s birthday. Let us recall the classic “HOT LIMIT” together~
The theme song of the fourth season “SKYBREAKER-” is sung by Takaki Nishikawa, with lyrics written by Benjamin + cAnON. and music composed by Hiroyuki Sawano.#Let’s wish the leader a happy birthday together #西川高典 #heatlimit pic.twitter.com/Y3mu9z8Pna— PILI Puppetry (@epilinet) September 19, 2024
And photos from Pili Puppet Show X/twitter This post seems to be a puppet of Nishikawa, Nishikawa and savvy fans of Nishikawa Thunderbolt Fantasy Will notice that something is a little off. Because this account synthesized Lang Wuyao’s puppet head onto Xi Chuan’s real body. It’s also quite a convincing job, as at first glance it appears to be an original puppet with all the charm Nishikawa could have hoped for.
Now, it would be nice if he took the stage to perform “Hot Limit” wearing a Lang Wu Yao mask.
