BANDAI official KAMEN RIDER toy information site

Hello everyone! This is Funasen, the CSM specialist.

In yesterday's Ex-Aid, Taiga was so cool! They were a wonderful couple.
Also, I couldn't help but laugh at the way the new president, Amagasaki, posed with his fingers in one scene...
After that yesterday, I also watched the first episode KAMEN RIDER Snipe EPISODE ZERO, and after seeing Taiga when he was younger, I felt sad when I thought about his current situation...
Although it'll be a while until January next year before we can see the final episode, I'm looking forward to it.

Now, for this week's CSM blog, as we announced last week, we would like to provide a detailed explanation of the audio content of "Neo Amazons Driver."
Currently, up to the second episode has been released, but I think there is still a lot that is not known about the full details of the belt in the drama.

First, let's talk about the audio of Amazon Neo.
The sound of Neo's transformation is based on his half-Amazon, half-machine appearance, and is composed of a mechanical voice saying "Neo" followed by the sound of a machine being put together.
Afterwards, the memorable "transformation explosion sound" is heard.
This also appeared in Season 1, where after the transformation was complete, a red explosion spread from all over his body.
This audio, which was not included in the DX Amazons Driver, has been added to "Neo"!

After transformation, you can then move the holder up and down to activate a special move.
The first time you press it, the special move sound will be played along with a mechanical voice saying "Amazon Slash."​
This is a special move designed for large cuts.
The second time you press it, the special move sound "Amazon Strike" will play.
This is a special move based on the Rider Kick.



Move this part up and down to activate the special move.

Furthermore, if you push the injector again after transforming, the armament will change each time you push it.
The first time you operate it, you will hear the sound of the weapon being armed, along with a mechanical voice saying "blade loading."​
It's the weapon that grows out of his right hand in the first battle in episode 1.
The second time you operate it you will hear a "needle loading" sound, and the third time you will hear a "claw loading" sound.
The fourth operation will return the weapon to its unarmed state.
If you move the holder up and down while armed, the weapon's special move, "Amazon Break," will sound.



The injector can be pushed in further than in the image.

On the other hand, the transformation sound for New Omega starts with a similar mechanical voice saying "New O Me Ga," followed by a mechanical transformation sound, and finally an explosion sound.
Unlike Neo's, with this weapon the sound effect is "Amazon Punish" instead of "Amazon Slash."
This phrase is similar to that used in Amazon's Driver.
In episode 2, Yu was still wearing the Amazons Driver, but when will he switch to the "Neo" belt?
Stay tuned to the program to find out what kind of sound it has!


Finally, we will tell you about the last evolution point in terms of sound for Hopper Zecter.
Until last week, we have been talking about improvements to the sound of the "Hopper Zecter main unit", but in fact, we have also made improvements to the "clock up" function this time.

Added "clock up sound"
When Thebee or Drake activate Clock Up, they stroke the Zecto Buckle, and before the word "Clock Up" is said, a unique activation sound, "Pikyuuoon," is heard.
This time, we have added this sound to the beginning when you press the switch!
In addition, the "activation sound" and the "clock up" sound have been adjusted so that they overlap at the same time as they do in the movie!
This sound was created based on the Zabi scene in episode 7 of MASKED RIDER KABUTO, so if you're curious to hear what it sounded like, be sure to check out episode 7.
This is the era when Yaguruma is Thebee, so it's fun to NARIKIRI play as the two riders, with Yaguruma at the center!



Yaguruma: "Kabuto! Let's wipe out the worms with Clock Up!"
Please stroke it and press the button.

That's all for this week's news!
Well, next week on Monday, April 24th, we will be announcing the 16th CSM title!
We will touch on various topics in this blog, so please look forward to it!
Some of you may be surprised that we are already making the next announcement, but this year's CSM will have a slightly increased number of products than usual,


We hope to deliver more products to you, so we hope you look forward to it.
See you next time!
