NARIKIRI TOYS Exhibition Event "NARIKIRI WORLD (NARIKIRI WORLD)" !!
In this article, we will report on the opening ceremony and new product presentation that was held on Thursday, October 19th, the day before the event!

At the opening ceremony and new work announcement, special guests who embodied the saying, "Transformations never fade," appeared on stage were actor Hamada Ryuga, who fulfilled his childhood dream of playing Ultraman in 2017, Handa Kento, who played Kamen Rider Faiz/Inui Takumi, and Murakami Kohei, who played Kamen Rider Kaixa/Kusaka Masato in Kamen Rider 555, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary since its broadcast and has a new installment in the works.
During the talk session, details about the transformation items for adults from "Ultraman Geed" and "Kamen Rider 555 20th Paradise Regained" were announced, and each cast member shared stories about the heroes they played and the transformation items.



The ceremony started with a greeting from MC Sakura Miyajima.
First up, the first special guest was Hamada Tatsuomi, who plays Ultraman Geed/Asakura Riku!

After the greetings, the conversation will focus on Hamada's impressions of "NARIKIRI WORLD 2023."

When asked what the best part of the event was, he said, "I guess it had to be the Ultraman booth. My hands are still sweating just thinking about being in line in a space with all those popular characters..." His whole body expressed his joy.

And it was announced that the "ULTRA REPLICA Replica Z-Riser", which was a major reason why Hamada-san came to visit, will be commercialized!



Hamada was also impressed by the high quality of ULTRA REPLICA-Riser" that appeared on stage, saying, "I've been waiting for this! After six years, I'm finally happy to be part of the ULTRA REPLICA series! I could almost mistake it for the one I used in filming... this is amazing!!"



When asked to do a pose, Hamada said, "If they've prepared something as wonderful as this, I have no choice but to do it!" and took the "ULTRA REPLICA Z-Riser" and showed off a perfect pose.
"It's been a really long time since I last transformed, so I was actually a bit nervous, but the product looked just like the real thing, so I was super excited and did the whole thing!" she said about her transformation.





Next up, from "Kamen Rider 555 (Faiz) 20th Paradise Regained", Handa Kento, who plays Kamen Rider Faiz/Takumi Inui, and Murakami Kohei, who plays Kamen Rider Kaixa/Masato Kusaka, will be appearing!
After the two of them appeared, a video was shown of the "CSM FAIZ DRIVER NEXT," a transforming belt toy that is a "smartphone" type, which has evolved from a "flip phone" type over the course of 20 years and was one of the highlights of the event.

　 　　
After the video, the actual "CSM FAIZ DRIVER NEXT" appeared on stage, and Handa commented on the product, "We've finally graduated from the 'flip-phones' (laughs). I don't think kids these days have ever even handled a flip-phone. It feels like we've finally caught up with the times. It eliminates the action of opening the flip-phone, so it saves time (laughs). It's a smart transformation." He seemed impressed with the upgraded transformation item.



In addition, following the "CSM FAIZ DRIVER NEXT," MASKED RIDER KAIZA 's transformation item, "CSM Kaixa Phone XX (Twenty)," will also be commercialized. Regarding the decision, Murakami, while promoting the product himself, announced, "I'm really happy that Kaixa is also being updated. In the movie that will be released, he has finally transformed for the first time in 20 years. In fact, it's been 20 years since he last transformed properly."
Handa commented, "It's really matured after 20 years," to which Murakami responded, talking about highlights of the upcoming film, saying, "I think you'll enjoy some vintage transformation! Look forward to it."



Furthermore, in front of the new HENSHIN BELT, Handa and Murakami also showed off new transformation poses for Kamen Rider Next Faiz and KAMEN RIDER Rider Next Kaixa!




After the two showed off their transformation poses, it was also announced that HENSHIN BELT of KAMEN RIDER Muse, who also appears in the new video, will be commercialized!
The "CSM Muse Driver" was also exhibited at the "NARIKIRI WORLD 2023" venue, attracting the attention of many customers.



Afterwards, Hamada appeared on stage again, and when asked about his impressions of the funny poses performed by Handa and Murakami, he commented with respect, "They were super cool! I was thrilled to be able to see them do it so closely!"
In response to Hamada, Handa said, "Compared to Ultraman Geed, our transformations are simpler (laughs). The amount of work required is different, so thank you," and went on to share his thoughts on each of their transformation poses.

Finally, each of the special guests gave a comment, bringing the opening ceremony and new product presentation to a close.
