BANDAI official KAMEN RIDER toy information site

Hello everyone, this is Funasen.

The day after tomorrow, December 25th, is the shipping date for the first batch of "CSM Amazons Drivers"!
Christmas. Holy night. I hope the stars fall on you all too!!
We hope you'll have fun with us during the year-end holidays.

Well, did you all watch" KAMEN RIDER Reiwa: The First Generation" this weekend?
There is a product I would like to recommend to everyone who has seen this.
Of course this one!



If you've seen the passionate battle scenes between Aruto and Sonoyu, you'll definitely want to get your hands on this belt...!
Pre-orders have already begun, so we will provide a link so that you can easily access Product Information again.

In addition, pre-orders for the "DX Another Watch Set VOL.5" have begun today.
This product set includes the Another Watches of "Another Zero One" and "Another 1" that appear in the movie, and the Another Watch of "Another Diend" that appears in "KAMEN RIDER ZI-O NEXT TIME Geiz, Majesty" that will be released next spring!
Please check this out as well!!




On the other hand, I can't go to the cinema because I'm in China right now.
I make toys that are shipped from this country.
...To be honest, I miss Japan and Christmas, but for now (omitted)

・・・・。
So today, I am on a business trip to the CSM KIVAT BELT production factory in China to prepare for the start of mass production.





We check and approve the color, communicate the feel of the operation directly to the engineers, and make fine adjustments.
At the same time, we were doing final checks of the audio program, etc.



Kivat and Tatsurot are connected to the wiring board.

Meanwhile, in today's blog we will be revealing further details about the specifications of the CSM KIVAT BELT and Tatsurot.

1. Added the BGM "Summoning Melody" to KIVAT BELT!
We will be adding memorable background music that will play when transforming into Garuru, Basher, and Dogga forms!
I had originally wanted to record it, but because the amount of lines was enormous, I intended to wait until the program had progressed to see if it was possible before making a decision.
The weather is sunny and we are looking forward to the weather clearing up just in time, so we have decided to go ahead with the recording!
We guarantee that form-changing play will be even more fun!


② The BGM "Supernova" is included in two versions: a shortened version and a full-length version (although it's still the first version)!
In the drama, the famous song Supernova was often performed in the following pattern: intro (part without vocals) → chorus, but in some episodes it also had a part with vocals, followed by intro → A-melody → B-melody → chorus.
We will be recording both of these!


3. Trivia mode includes almost all of Kivat's opening trivia and his dialogue with Tatsurot in the opening scene!
On the pre-order page, it was listed as "Trivia Dialogue Mode," and all but one are included!
The only part that was cut out was the opening scene of the story that was an announcement for the movie version.
This is a rather meta topic and a bit out of date, so...

By the way, if you use voice recognition to say, "Tell me a bit of trivia," Kivat will randomly tell you one piece of trivia from over 20 different pieces.

Communication with Tatsurot is carried out via radio communication, but...
It's incredibly funny to see this dialogue unfold in front of you!
Unlike the wireless communication of Faiz Gear, the phenomenon of two people having a live conversation right in front of you evokes a mysterious sense of elation, a new element not often seen in toys until now.
I would love for you to try it!


4. BGM standby mode also supports "special move sounds"!
In previous CSMs, the BGM standby mode was activated in sync with the "transformation sound."
However, Kiva's special attack scenes, such as "Darkness Moon Break," are very impressive, and the combination of the perfect background music creates a sense of excitement! Therefore, we implemented a "BGM standby function during special attacks," a first for the series.
The background music "Wake Up" that starts playing right after the voice goes "Wake, up!" is, frankly, irresistible!
In addition, when summoning Tatsurot with Tatsurot Whistle, the BGM standby function is activated, so if you set the BGM "Kiva Air Battle" it will be extremely effective!!

We hope you will continue to support KIVAT BELT and Tatsurot.


In addition, we are sending out a survey about the CSM series via email to customers who have purchased the "CSM DOUBLE DRIVER ver.1.5".
We will use your information as a reference for future product development, so please fill it out.
Let us know what items you would like to see commercialized in the future!
Responses will be accepted until 11:00 p.m. on Wednesday, December 25th.

That's all for today's blog.
The next update will be on Friday, December 27th, the last day of the year.

Well then!
