   I'll try my best, but there's probably others here that can expand on   
   some of these

   Power Rangers Mystic Force.

   Yes, in a nutshell, but only the first few episodes had filming in NZ.   
   Everything's been Japan since then.  But there is a steady relationship   
   now.  No idea if the NZ unit works on both.

   IIRC, the only other sentai season with siblings was Fiveman.

   Azusa Watanabe is the actress's name.  In order not to spoil anything   
   for anyone, I'll answer the first question farther down.

   There's been music videos at the end of practically every sentai, but   
   I'm not sure when the "dancing rangers" phenomenon started.  Timeranger   
   was the last one before Deka where the episodes I downloaded had the   
   ending video and didn't cut it out, and that had them walking around,   
   but not dancing.  So it apparently started sometime between Gaoranger   
   and Dekaranger.

   Magimother apparently shows back up sometime from episode 34 on...   
   possibly in that episode specifically, but I haven't seen it yet, so I   
   don't know the details.  Before that, just flashbacks.
