The Ultimate Points of CSM Kaixa Gear Part 2: Kaixa Driver (1)

Hello everyone, this is Funasen.

Thank you very much for your pre-orders for CSM Kaixa Gear!
With surprising speed, the first batch of tickets was sold out in a blink of an eye.
We had prepared a reasonable amount, but to think that they sold out in less than a day...it really showed everyone's love for Soka and Kaixa.
We are currently accepting reservations for the second batch (delivery in April 2018), so we appreciate your continued support for those who are considering purchasing.




Well, today I'd like to pick out the Kaixa Driver (Kaixa Phone) from the Kaixa Gear and reveal its detailed specifications.
The program is currently under development, and we are currently making detailed adjustments to the following:

●Start-up sound when unfolded 180 degrees
A switch has been added that plays the startup sound when the phone is fully opened, recreating the transformation sequence in the movie.
In the cramped space of the small portable size, they managed to add a switch that plays the startup sound. (Thanks to the design team!) With this, we are sure that transformation play will be even more fun!

Also, this switch does not necessarily ring when you open your phone. If you watch the movie, you will see that if you open your phone when you receive a call, the startup sound does not ring.
Also, when I removed the phone after transforming and wanted to undo the transformation, there was no startup sound when I opened the phone.
If this sound were to be played in other scenes it would be irritating, so it is only played when transforming.


Therefore, we have programmed it to be able to make the above identification.
KaixaPhone distinguishes between the following four states and plays different sounds depending on the state.
① When in portable mode and before transformation
② When in portable mode and after transformation
3) With belt set and before transformation
④ With belt set and after transformation

Of these four, we have programmed it so that the "start-up sound when fully opened" will only play in state ①!
Furthermore, when the ringtone is playing, the startup sound will not play even in case of ①.



Transformation sound
Regarding the transformation sounds, because the sound in the DX version is different from the sound in the movie, we are developing new sounds to get closer to the sound in the movie. This is still in development, and we will be making further improvements to the sound we have heard in the PV.
As this was a production from 14 years ago, some of the sound data used in the show at the time, including the transformation sounds, is no longer available. We will create new sounds that sound as similar as possible, so we appreciate your understanding.


●Character voice
This time too, the dialogue will be played by entering a three-digit keystroke.
As for the key numbers, in the previous Faiz Gear, you could enter the episode number and the lines for that episode would play. As for the Kaisa Phone, Kusaka has many memorable lines even within the same episode, so the same method couldn't be used, so to make it easier to understand, the lines play in order starting from 001. The voice that starts with 0 is Kusaka's voice in the TV version. Also, by changing the number at the beginning, it is divided into the voices for the movie version and Keitaro and Mari, so I think it will be simple and easy to understand when playing.

By the way, as shown in the product promotional video, if you press the trigger button while the transformation standby sound is playing, you will hear Kusaka's voice saying "Transform!"

Furthermore, after the transformation is complete, if you press the trigger button while it is attached to the belt, the Kaixa attack cry will sound. This is the Kaixa Phone ④ state described above.

Furthermore, when you press buttons 1-9 in the ④ state, the lines spoken after the transformation from the recorded voice of Kusaka will be played. You can play Kusaka's lines while maintaining the transformation. This is also an evolution point.

By the way, if you press the CALL button at this time, you will hear a voice that says "Shaaaaa!" This is the call made when using a special move with the Blaygun. If you press the Clear button, you will hear a voice that says "Iyaaa!" This is the call made when using a special move with the Kaixa Shot. Finally, if you press the Off button, you will hear a voice that says "Deyaaaa!" This is the call made when using a special move with the Kaixa Pointer. When we were recording the calls, Murakami told us that he differentiates the calls for each move, so we included this one.


That's all for today. There are still many things I haven't mentioned about the Kaixa Driver and Kaixa Phone, but
I will explain that next week.



Finally, we have one announcement to make.
Today, we will be sending out a survey via email to everyone who has purchased CSM at least once.
We will use your responses as a reference for future product development and lineup selection, so please respond if you have time!
