Hello everyone. This is the KAMEN RIDER toy development team.

In today's blog post, we'll be sharing some additional information about the "CSMデンオウベルト＆ケータロスver.2," which has a pre-order deadline tomorrow, that wasn't included on the order page!

First, as a preliminary recap, "ver.1" was released in 2017 and was one of the pioneering products that led to the current CSM specifications. Therefore, this is a remake based on the recent methods of creating and structuring audio programs.
The most obvious additions are the inclusion of "Pretty Den-O" and its compatibility with the new product "CSMデンガッシャー," but beyond that, the concept of this "ver.2" is to pursue overall refinement and higher fidelity.

● About BGM
In version 1, due to capacity limitations, there were only four background music tracks in total, and furthermore, two tracks were allocated to the DEN-O BELT Belt and two to the K-Taros.
This time, all the songs are included in the DEN-O BELT Belt, allowing for NARIKIRI-playing with plenty of music even without using the K-Taros. Furthermore, although not listed on the order page, we've added the song "Leave it to me." This was also a song often heard during battles. In addition, the four "Double-Action" tracks and "Real-Action" tracks come in two versions: a longer version (with A and B sections) and a shorter version (intro followed by chorus). We've provided options for those who want to enjoy the music at a faster pace depending on their mood. (Version 1's Double-Action tracks were the shorter versions.)
"Real-Action" was included with the dream of one day commercializing the "Denkamen Sword." (For now, please check out "CSMデンガッシャー.")
Including these variations, there are a total of 16 songs.

The K-Taros only contains the track "Strongest Vega Form!". This is because it's background music that's meant to play at the same time as the Climax Form transformation sound. The K-Taros only activates when it's set to BGM standby mode, so if you want to hear it on its own, play it from the DEN-O BELT Belt.

●Includes various transformation sound variations and sound effects not found in ver.1!
This time, we've added more variations to the transformation sounds for each form.

●Platform: Includes two types of transformation sounds: long and short!
Version 1 included the transformation sound from the first episode, which was the longest audio clip throughout the entire series. A shortened version was played from episode 2 onwards. This was likely done to match the length of the video's production time.
In Ver.2, the more frequently used "short" version is set as the default platform transformation sound, and the longer version from episode 1 can be played by performing a variation selection operation. (Also, the belt attachment sound is different only in episode 1, so that will also be switched.)

●The transformation sounds for Sword, Rod, Axe, and Gun from the transformed state include the form change versions!
In ver.1, the transformation sounds for the four forms were the same even when changing to a different form after transforming, but this time, the sound configuration has been changed for "transformation from before transformation" and "form change after transformation." When starting from before transformation, there is an initial sound for entering the platform state, but when changing forms such as Sword to Rod, only the armor changes, so we created the transformation sounds for the form change versions by referring to how the sounds are used in the show.

●Includes the direct transformation sound for Liner Form from the final episode!
Version 1 also included the Liner Form transformation sound, but it was a transformation gimmick using the "Farewell Den-O" sequence (putting the belt on and holding up the pass). This time, in addition to that, we've also made it possible to perform the direct transformation from the "TV series finale." By performing a specific operation to set it to the finale standby state, putting on the belt and attaching the K-Taros will play the "Liner Form direct transformation sound (finale version)." (You don't need to hold up the pass.)

●The intrusion and possession system has evolved! Two patterns that more closely resemble the in-show effects are included!
The "Intrusion Possession System," where a different Imagin will spontaneously intrude after a certain amount of time, is still present in ver.2, but to better reflect the on-screen presentation, we have prepared the following two patterns.
Pattern 1: Another Imagin intervenes with a line ⇒ possession sound ⇒ original Imagin's line: and it ends.
In the show, the character presses the form button after taking over, so this pattern ends the scene with the line about taking over. (In ver.1, the transformation standby sound would play automatically from that point, but that actually looked strange when matched to the scene in the show.)
The voiceover ends the segment, so to change forms from there, you'll need to press a button and hold your pass over the reader yourself. The form change is not complete just because you hear this voiceover.

Pattern ②: Another Imagin's intrusion dialogue ⇒ possession sound ⇒ "Intrusion transformation sound" ⇒ Original Imagin's dialogue
This is a pattern often seen towards the end of the show, where the character is immediately taken over and undergoes a form change. The transformation is completed without any pass-through. After that, the original Imagin's lines are played. The transformation sound at this time was quite fast and also included the transformation standby sound, so this audio represents that.

Additionally, we've added a new method for activating the "Intrusion Possession" ability: you can now activate it at any time by holding down a button.

● The DEN-O BELT alone can play DenLiner-related sound effects and more!
In version 1, the "DenLiner sound" was included on the K-Taros side, but in this version, it's also included on the DEN-O BELT side.
In addition, sounds such as the "sound of holding up a Rider Ticket," which were implemented in later products such as the "CSM Zeronos Belt," have been included in this DEN-O BELT. I think it will look just as good when displayed alongside Zeronos. Furthermore, the Axe Form will include sounds that were depicted as unique to each form in the show, such as the "sound of Kintaros cracking his neck."

As described above, we are working to refine the 2017 version from the perspective of current CSM production.
We've made subtle adjustments to get closer to the on-screen presentation, so there might be some details you don't notice, but we're continuing to refine it to provide even greater satisfaction to fans of Den-O. We hope you'll pick it up and check it out.

The deadline is tomorrow, but we are still accepting reservations. Thank you.
