Kazuchika Okada 😚

[thistledropkick]

While everyone was posting about the Tokyo Sports Awards, Okada was focused on a much more important award.

"Today 23:45 TV Asahi "Cream Nantara" Miniskirt Track and Field 2023 Winter Event

By the way, here's the MVP trophy I won last year! Please watch it!"

(The trophy reads "Miniskirt Track and Field 2022 MVP 5/19/2022")

Here's a promotional photo from the event, from a tweet where Okada asks "Will it rain panty-flashing?"

As always I'm like, a gazillion years late with this but I published 2 new translations on my blog. Tanahashi becoming NJPW president reminded me of the closing quote in an interview he did in 2014 about Nakamura, and Okada leaving NJPW made me think about this joint interview he had with Nakamura when he was still finding his footing as the rainmaker. there is a part where the interviewer calls them the "chosen ones" (a title that had often been applied to Nakamura, and would afterward often be applied to Okada), and that always stuck with me.

(This is "the other side" of the photo book the questionnaires of which floated around on this site like a decade ago or so, but I didn't get around to finishing the translations of everything until now. Below is the "A side" with Tanahashi and Ibushi that I published last year.)

this isn’t going to make it in the timeline bc it’s not really GL related but I do need newer fans to know about the saga of Okada’s tights

so he usually wore these great shorts but he started wearing long pants instead when he was not exactly being a heel but sure as hell being kind of a dick

and everyone hated those pants so much, and then he lost the title to Kenny at Dominion and he handled it Very Well Thank You, it in no way completely reframed his relationship with himself and the audience and his entire worldview it was FINE. but he diddd dye his hair red about it

and start bringing balloons to the ring as you do. just trying to have a nice time!!!! and okay he was clearly struggling a lot with who he was and what was lovable about him sans title, and then like he didn’t have enough on his plate he got betrayed by his best friend/manager and jay white tried to takeover CHAOS

but THEN at WK for his match against Jay White, Okada entered to his old music for the first time in AGES and when he came out his hair was gold again and he was wearing his old golden coat and everyone was soooo happy to see him like that again bc he was so clearly Going Thru It before

AND THEN!!!!!!! after he got to the ring he did a SHORTS RUVEAL

like he got a special entrance skirt made and everything!! It was literally one of the biggest pops of the whole night like everyone was SO HAPPY AND EXCITED and HE KNEW!!! he knew how happy it would make everyone, he made it into a moment just for us ;-;

anyway i love Okada

Hello NJPW and Okada fans. I refuse to elaborate.

Okada: “Thank you, Tanahashi-san.”

Tanahashi: “For now, it’s over for today. I’m proud of you.”

Okada: “Thank you.”

Tanahashi: "Show the world what we've done here."

Okada: “Okay.”

Tanahashi: “Come with me, I’ll show you off.”

[randanopterix]

Okada:

Who should I invite to be X and XX?

Desperado, very helpfully:

Two Young Lions, perhaps

[jasvvy]

well holy shit

The enzuigiri used by Okada, who is the same height as Antonio Inoki and fights with the same philosophy as him, gives me an emotional attachment.
