Hello everyone! This is Funasen.
KAMEN RIDER REVICE has begun!!
It was a really fun first episode! This year is going to be a fun one too.
Our staff is working hard to develop toys that can be enjoyed all year round.
Please look forward to the video!

By the way, do you have the Revise driver?
...Huh? There isn't one?!



The DX Revise Driver is now on sale and is a big hit! There is also a special set to commemorate the 50th anniversary. If you get it one day earlier, you can play for one more day until the final episode. If you get it now, you can play for just 20 yen per day, calculated on a pro-rata basis for the year. When you think about it like that, it's a good deal, isn't it? With a Buy Stamp, it's 4.6 yen per day. I definitely recommend getting it now that the first episode has aired, even if it's just for the belt!!!

Thank you very much.


Also, after purchasing the product and playing with it, it sometimes happens that the stamp pad on the driver becomes crooked.



Due to the structure of this product, misalignment may occur if you repeatedly fiddle with it, and this is included in the specifications, including the ability to correct it manually.
Here's how to fix it.



When you move it, you will hear an unsettling "crack" sound every 45°, but this is an indication that the clicking is working and does not mean that there is any negative load being applied.
This is also stated in the instruction manual. Please refer to it and continue to enjoy the game.


Revise has already started distributing the TV-sized version of the theme song "liveDevil" (Da-iCE feat. Kimura Subaru)!!



It has a style that has never been seen in previous KAMEN RIDER theme songs, and it was so cool when the music started playing from the first transformation scene!
I've already watched it over 10 times. However, I couldn't hear the lyrics in the video at times, so I recommend listening to just the song on the digital version.
Whether you read it from left to right, it's liveDevil. Whether you read it from top to bottom, it's Yamamoto or m
I don't know much about palindromes in English, so I thought it was really cool. I'm looking forward to the opening video starting next week!



Well, it was recently announced on September 4th during the Fourze 10th anniversary commemorative broadcast.
The DX Nadeshiko Driver is finally here!!! 



As a product commemorating our 10th anniversary, it will now be commercialized in DX format after a truly long time.
The "KAMEN RIDER" belts that appear in Fourze are now finally available as merchandise!
(There are no plans to commercialize the Gingaoh Driver.)

In fact, this is the first-ever commercialized "dedicated HENSHIN BELT" for a female rider!

Nowadays, female riders such as Poppy, Tsukuyomi, and Valkyrie are active, but their HENSHIN BELT were shared with other riders.
A belt exclusively for female riders has never been commercialized until now. (Recently, Sabera's special transformation "Sword" was released, but this is the first time a belt has been released.)
The Nadeshiko Driver was exclusive to the Nadeshiko and only appeared in the movie version, giving it an extremely rare appearance (other examples include L'Arc and Shuki), which made it even more difficult to release.
For that reason, we didn't have the courage to release it 10 years ago, but since it is our 10th anniversary, we thought that if we missed this opportunity, there would never be a better opportunity, so we gave the go-ahead to commercialize it, and that's how we got to where we are today.

Of course, it is also part of the "Uncommercialized Item Commercialization Project" that began with the "Friendship Burst Ghost Icon," whose release was announced recently.
Thanks to you all, we have reached our target number of orders for Friendship Burst, so we feel like this project will now be easier to move forward with.
Thank you to everyone who purchased!

And today it was announced that, miraculously, we were able to record Mano Erina's lines!
As he lives in Spain, we had been discussing the difficulty of recording his lines as we progressed with the development, but when Toei approached him about streaming the Fourze 10th anniversary stream, we received a reply from his office saying, "Miraculously, he has just returned to Japan," and we were able to record the lines together with the YouTube interview. We were really lucky...!

The dialogue button is located on the axis of what used to be the lever of the Fourze Driver, and it turns on by turning a cylinder, and the lines are played in order.
Also, when the power is turned on and the device is started in "dialogue mode," dialogue will play when the transformation sound is played or a module appears, which is the same design as recent memorial items and CSMs.

The Nadeshiko Driver does not have a lever, so you can transform by simply pressing two red switches.
Since there is no lever, a "limit break" is not possible, but please note that this is not (and cannot be) done in the movie.
The switches can be attached and detached, and other switches can be set in the ● and ■ slots!
The audio is also properly recorded, so you can make things like KAMEN RIDER Nadeshiko Electric States (what's that?)! Of course, this is just for fantasy play.
There are many new parts, but the LED panel is also designed to look like Nadeshiko, as shown below.



As you can see from the product images, the obi has the same design as the Fourze Driver, but in a different color.
There was a lot of interest in whether it would be possible to recreate the distinctive diagonal hanging style, but unfortunately this cannot be achieved.
In order to make it possible to fasten it diagonally as snugly as in the movie, the belt straps on both sides need to be U-shaped from the beginning to the middle, curving in halfway.
One downside is that the obi would also have to be a new type, which would mean the price would exceed 10,000 yen.
Another reason is that even if we create a curved design, the position of the curve has to fit perfectly on the left and right sides of the waist, and since waist sizes vary depending on the person wearing it, it will fit perfectly on some people, but on the other hand it may not fit at all and they may not be able to wear it at all.

So, if you want to try diagonal tying, please use your own ingenuity. As an official product, the minimum requirement is that it should be easy for anyone to use.
Perhaps you could put on an extension belt to let it sag and then secure the belt on the right hip with a regular clothes belt or something...I'm not sure what to say, but if anyone has any great ideas please let me know.


The switch that comes with this set is also a highlight.
Thanks to this product, we were able to commercialize the "Gate Switch" and "SOLU Switch", which had never been commercialized before.



The SOLU switch is equal to Nadeshiko, so it's the perfect item to include in the package.
At the time, they even released a highly niche item called the "Core Switch," but the two types mentioned above were not yet on sale.
After 10 years, I have now completed all the Astro Switches! This is the first time I've ever wanted to release a DX brand product.
Gate and SOLU are not inserted into the Fourze Driver in the movie, so they are fully painted. Therefore, we have added a note on the reservation page saying "Do not load."
Please note that we cannot be held responsible for any wear or discoloration that may occur as a result of loading the product.
By the way, the pin on the bottom will also be gone, so there is no point in putting it in.


Another one, the "Launcher Switch (Nadeshiko Switch Color ver.)" was once commercialized as a gift to all applicants for the "KAMRN RIDER FOURZE Super Complete Works" published by Shogakukan.
However, since it was limited to those who applied for the Super Complete Works, we thought that many people may not have realized it existed, so we have made it available for purchase with this new product.
However, the paint specifications have been changed.



In the super complete collection version, like SOLU and Gate, the entire set is painted silver, making it not recommended to use it in conjunction with the DX Fourze Driver.
However, the very purpose of the Nadeshiko Switch is to recreate the Meteor Nadeshiko Fusion States belt, so if it cannot be worn, it becomes quite meaningless.
​In order to make a product that can be officially advertised as "easy to install and recreate", the silver parts have been molded in a custom color.

By the way, the reason why this is the only one called the "Launcher Switch" is because all sound patterns that are played when inserted into the second socket of the DX Fourze Driver are assigned, so it is not possible to make it "silent".
When I plug it in, I have to say the name of some other switch, so I've left it as the original launcher design.
I briefly considered removing the switch pin altogether so that it wouldn't make any sound, but if I did that, the switch wouldn't be recognized as being on even when it was turned on, and the LED on the right foot wouldn't light up, so that wouldn't have worked.


The original DX Fourze Driver had top-class specs on par with DRIVE DRIVER in the DX Belt series.
It has a monstrous specification of 25 detection switches and 5 LEDs, and since this is the base, the DX Nadeshiko Driver also has 13 detection switches and 5 LEDs, which is actually a higher spec than some of the other main belts.
It is more expensive than the Fourze Driver of that time, but compared to the Fourze Driver which was mass-produced at manufacturing costs 10 years ago, I think this is unavoidable given the current manufacturing costs, small production runs, and the above specifications.
If the Fourze Driver were to be resold now, it would probably go for over 10,000 yen.
It's truly a miracle that this product was even released and that Mano's voice was included, so I hope everyone will get their hands on it for that reason as well!
Especially for those who already have a complete set of Astro Switches, please give it a try! Thank you!

That's all for today's blog.
The next update will be tomorrow, September 8th (Wednesday), and will feature a special on the Revise Remix Figures, which will be released this weekend!
See you tomorrow!
