V BUCKLE & Drag Visor coming soon! & Beyond Driver is here!
Merry Christmas! Hello. This is Funasen.
Have you seen "KAMEN RIDER Heisei Generations FOREVER"?
It was a truly wonderful movie, fitting for the end of the Heisei era.
I think this was especially striking for those of you who read this blog every week.
I've been following the story of "Heisei KAMEN RIDER" for 19 years. Although the time and period of contact differed for each person, they were there every Sunday morning. This movie made me realize clearly that these people, who have been with me for more than half my life, are now indispensable in my life.
So after seeing the movie this weekend, I was reminded of the part that "Heisei KAMEN RIDER" has occupied in my life, and I was quite moved...
Anyway, this is a film I want as many people as possible to see. If you haven't seen it yet, please make your way to the cinema!
We BANDAI also play a part in this fiction.
If the "reality" in which we live is something that is right in front of our eyes and that we can touch, and the "fiction" of KAMEN RIDER is something imaginary and intangible that exists on the other side of a screen, then we believe that we may be able to bridge the gap between reality and fiction, even if only a little, with the tangible form of a "toy," and we work hard every day developing products with this feeling in mind.
(This is a different story from the movie though...)
And his appearance in the film was a complete surprise to us! As written on Toei's website, it was a surprise created through strict information control, with his appearance not even being printed in the script.
I was completely surprised... and needless to say, I had a lot of fun playing with that belt when I got home.
This belt has been commercialized by CSM, and what's more, we are currently accepting raffle entries for the "Last Lottery Sales Festival of the Heisei Era"!
We've kept the product name a secret just in case (although the information has been lifted), but those who saw the movie missed out on buying that belt!
If you are interested, please apply below!
Well, the first pre-order deliveries for the "V BUCKLE & Drag Visor" will start this week on December 27th, and we will be releasing some additional information just before then!
●About the unique voices in card decks other than the riders who have cast voice recordings
V BUCKLE has four types of switches that allow you to uniquely identify your card deck.
V BUCKLE has four types of switches that allow you to uniquely identify your card deck.
There are a total of 15 types that can be identified by the four button combinations! They are assigned as follows.
First off, 12 types.
First off, 12 types.
① Ryuki, ② Ryuki Survive, ③ Ryuki Blank, ④ Knight, ⑤ Knight Survive, ⑥ Zolda, ⑦ Ouja,
8. Lyra, 9. Taiga, 10. Fam, 11. Ryuuga, 12. Odin
After transforming into these, you can play each rider's unique lines by pressing the "dialogue button."
There are three types of Ryuki, but the lines he says before transforming into the red Ryuki in episode 2 can only be heard when using the blank Ryuki deck.
With the above allocation, there are three types of identification left over. Since I didn't record the voices for any of the riders other than the ones mentioned above, none of them have any voice... But you're completely wrong! Since it would be a waste, I thought about what I could do with the remaining five card decks using these three types of identification, and as a result, I included the following sounds.
⑬Scissors...The sound of Volcancer using scissors to prey is played.
14. Impeller: Makes the sound of a mirror breaking and evaporating.
⑮ Guy Verde Abyss... explodes.
These five people incorporated sounds that represent each of their final moments.
As for the three people in ⑮, they were all blown up, which is why there was an explosion sound.
And finally for today! We would like to introduce the "HENSHIN BELT DX Beyond Driver", for which information has just been lifted!
- Dragvisor's dialogue mode includes voice recordings of not only Shinji but also other characters!
Although it's just a shout!
Originally, we were planning to record only Shinji's voice on Dragvisor. Specifically, the "Ha!" shout that comes with the sound of the sword clashing during the Sword Vent, as well as the shouts during the Shoot Vent and Final Vent. And then the voice for the Sword Vent...
On the other hand, we also recorded the other cast members' shouts just to be sure, as we thought it might be possible to record them in a similar way to "CSM Kaixa Gear."
However, we thought it would be a waste if we didn't link it to each Advent Card, so we changed our mind mid-development and, as a result, we added each rider's shout-out to the Drag Visor, even though it was just in time.
It is activated by inserting each rider's unique card into "dialogue mode".
*Ren's voice was also included in the DX Drag Visor Zwei released at that time.
We have also recorded such audio. It will probably take a long time to listen to all the sounds of V BUCKLE and the Drag Visor, but we hope you will enjoy it during the New Year holidays!
And finally for today! We would like to introduce the "HENSHIN BELT DX Beyond Driver", for which information has just been lifted!
Finally, Woz becomes KAMEN RIDER!? However, in the preview for the next episode that aired yesterday, we see a white Woz with a somewhat different vibe...
Story aside, the Beyond Driver uses a different transformation system than ZIKU-DRIVER.
The concept this time is simply "projection mapping!"
In the center of the belt, a three-dimensional head without any detail is sculpted.
When you insert a new Ride Watch, called the "Miraide Watch", the Rider's design is "projected" onto the three-dimensional head!
This is the moment when HENSHIN BELT, with its mysterious and fun gimmick, is born.
This is the moment when HENSHIN BELT, with its mysterious and fun gimmick, is born.
As has already been announced, the voice for this belt will be Afro from "MOROHA"!
MOROHA writes lyrics that really hit you in the heart. Recently, Afro has also been doing narration for a certain mobile phone commercial, so I'm sure many of you have heard of him. His voice, which you'll never forget once you've heard it, makes the Beyond Driver's transformation sound one of a kind.
We hope you will not only listen to Beyond Driver, but also check out MOROHA's music!
I personally love MOROHA's music, and when I'm feeling down and about to give up, I listen to their music over and over again to cheer myself up. So when Afro-san was suggested as a candidate for the transformation sound, I couldn't help but say it.
"Are you serious?" I said without thinking when I received the offer.
``Seriously?!''
We hope you will not only listen to Beyond Driver, but also check out MOROHA's music!
By the way, Afro's voice is not only included in the Beyond Driver, but also in KAMEN RIDER Woz's weapon, the DX Jikan Despia.
The biggest feature of Jikandespear is its touch sensor!
By touching the four buttons on the app icon, you can transform the weapon into three modes - spear, staff, and scythe - and use special moves.
Touch sensors are now very common in smartphones and other devices, but when seen in a toy they still have a futuristic feel to them.
It seems like a fitting weapon for Woz, a man from the future.
(In exchange, the tip shape must be changed manually.)
In addition, the "DX Miride Watch Holder" that is attached to Woz's arm is also on sale!
The specifications are the same as those of the Zi-O and Geiz holders, and are in Woz color.
Since the Ride Watch is not included, it is priced affordably.
We recommend buying two so you can wear one on each arm.
These three products will be released on Thursday, December 27th! Please note that since it is the end of the year, it will not be on the usual Saturday!
That's all for today's blog.
The next update will be on Monday, January 7, 2019.
Thank you very much for your support this year!
Well, have a happy new year!
