Windows unit

[lordakiyama]

It appears that the Windows unit will be official as a T-shirt with their apparent logo was introduced at the live Korakuen Hall TV broadcast.

The unit is made up of Keni'chiro Arai, K-ness., Super Shisa, Shisa BOY, and possibly Kotoka.

The proper name is Madogiwazoku (translated as The Windows Group), which is what CIMA started calling Araken, K-ness., and Shisa collectively over the past month. The usage of the word is implied to be insulting of their position as being useless or old employees to be shoved away from the center of attention and "stick by a window until retirement". Essentially the other side of the spectrum in comparison with Team Veteran Returns.

BOY being part of the group isn't too surprising given that he's actually been around for over ten years since the Shachihoko Machine gimmick was first introduced in T2P. Kotoka... well, I guess since he's the only other elder NEX trainee not already aligned with a group.

I hope it helps me get into Arai, at least. I've been watching DG in Japan consistently for about a year now, and I've yet to really get into him as I have some of the other guys who stay primarily in Japan (Super Shisa, Fuji, etc.)

If you haven't already, check out his and Iwasa's tag team matches when they were tearing it up as members of Tozawa-juku in 2007-2008. They were a fantastic team then, and it rejuvenated their careers.

I wanted to see Kotoka turn heel and join Mad Blankey, they could really use another capable member.

Any particular matches you want to recommend? I actually LOVED the small run Arai and Iwasa had as a team last summer. I was also really hoping them and K-Ness would get a Triangle shot.

I'm indifferent to Arai and Iwasa, but I like K-Ness. I admit I haven't seen those 07-08 matches though, maybe I'd think more of them if I had.
They did get a Triangle Gate shot, it was the match where Tanisaki started looking like suspiciously like Tomahawk T.T, and Blood Warriors were stripped of the belts after a DQ finish. It was on the same episode of Infinity as...something else, but I forget what. Maybe the loser leaves the unit match that saw CIMA get kicked out of Blood?

I imagine Kotoka would turn heel only when he no longer has his other job as a regular reporter for the morning news show Ohayou Asahi Desu.

Haha, I disagree, the world needs more heel news reporters.
