After an opening speech by a BANDAI director, MC Shiihashi Justaway appeared on stage and the ceremony began!
From "KAMEN RIDER BLACK SUN," which began streaming on Prime Video at 0:00 on Friday, October 28th, we were joined by guests Nishijima Hidetoshi, who plays the lead role of KAMEN RIDER BLACK SUN/Minami Kotaro, and director Shiraishi Kazuya.




After the greetings, the conversation will focus on topics related to "KAMEN RIDER BLACK SUN," which will soon begin streaming.

After the screening of the trailer for "KAMEN RIDER BLACK SUN," Nishijima commented on the passion he put into the transformation, saying, "It made me realize that my childhood dream is finally coming true at the age of 50. I was reminded that the accumulated know-how of everyone who has worked on special effects up to now has given the transformation scene great power, and I transformed while feeling the history."
Director Shiraishi also commented on the points he paid particular attention to when creating the transformations, saying, "I based the pose on that of Kurata-san (who played Minami Kotaro in 1987's KAMEN RIDER BLACK), and I hoped to create poses that would make the most of each character's transformation pose."

And! The "COMPLETE SELECTION MODIFICATION HENSHIN BELT Century King Sun Driver" will be unveiled for the first time at this event!



Everyone was staring intently at the actual "CSM HENSHIN BELT Century King Sun Driver."
We received a delightful comment from Nishijima: "Wow, this is so cool! Look at the dirt processing!"

And the "automatic transformation" gimmick, which is the main feature of this product, was shown to everyone by Nishijima actually activating the transformation.

The built-in motor and gears were powered, allowing all 10 parts to move, and visitors were able to see the "CSM HENSHIN BELT Century King Sun Driver" automatically transform from an open to a closed state.

Nishijima also talked about the key points to consider when transforming, saying, "I think if you say the line, 'I won't forgive you!' and then transform with anger and sadness in your heart, that will work."

The topic then turned to NARIKIRI TOYS.
The conversation was lively in front of NARIKIRI TOYS on display at the event.


As Nishijima played with the role-NARIKIRI item "ULTRA REPLICA Beta Capsule (SHIN ULTRAMAN)" from the "SHIN ULTRAMAN" movie, he reminisced, "I wish I could transform," to which Director Shiraishi retorted, "It looks like you can do it now, you could transform (laughs)," resulting in a very harmonious exchange between the two.

Then, towards the end of the talk show, a surprise video message was played from Nakamura Tomoya, who also stars in "KAMEN RIDER BLACK SUN," announcing the commercialization of KAMEN RIDER SHADOW MOON's HENSHIN BELT, "COMPLETE SELECTION MODIFICATION HENSHIN BELT Century King Moon Driver"!

This surprised both of our guests.

Nishijima commented with a touch of humor, "Tomoya's Shadow Moon is really cool, so I hope everyone will check it out. I'm sure this HENSHIN BELT will be popular as well."
When asked about the pair's chemistry during filming, director Shiraishi commented, "I had goosebumps the whole time I was watching. I really felt that KAMEN RIDER is what it is all about because of the two of them."



Finally, Nishijima commented, "The streaming will start in about six hours. I would like not only fans of 'KAMEN RIDER BLACK', but also those who have never been exposed to Kamen KAMEN RIDER before to watch it, as it is a deep human drama as it is directed by Shiraishi. Also, earlier Tomoya said without thinking that (HENSHIN BELT) was made better than the real thing, but I was honestly surprised at how much more attention has been paid to it than the real thing, so I hope those of you at the venue will come and see it."
Director Shiraishi commented, "There are 10 episodes in total, so I put my heart and soul into making each transformation scene, making slight changes to each one. I hope you will watch it over and over again, focusing on the transformation scenes and finding your favorite monster." With this, the event came to a close.

The opening ceremony is now available on YouTube! Please check it out!
