BANDAI official KAMEN RIDER toy information site

Hello everyone. This is Funasen.

Thank you for preordering the CSM Zeronos Belt!
Due to popular demand, we are currently accepting second orders for delivery in December.



Today I'd like to introduce you to the recorded background music.



This time, a total of five background music tracks will be included.
"Action-ZERO" is, of course, Zeronos's coolest theme song, and it's also my favorite Den-O song.
"Altair Form" and "Denevic Buster" are iconic songs associated with his exploits during the battle against Zeronos.
"Airi's Tears" is not a battle song, but it was played during the memorable scene where she transformed into Zero Form for the first time.
Since we're recording the sound of Zero Form's initial transformation, I thought this song was essential and included it.
I'm sure everyone wants to put the belt on, lie down, and soak in the Zero Form transformation.

And the fifth song, "Send Help," is one that I think very few people know.
What this is is the heavy background music that was played several times during Vega Form's battle scenes when he first appeared, and since it is a free sound source, it is not included on the soundtrack.
Following the Ixabelt, we have now recorded a toy from a free sound source.

Zeronos Belt was late in becoming a CSM, but if it had been released before Ikusa Belt, I don't think this free sound source would have been included.
In order to commercialize the Ikusa Belt, we had to use free sound sources to express past Ikusa, so we worked hard to reach an agreement with a rights company.
Zeronos' exploits are sufficiently conveyed with just the music included in the soundtrack, so if it had been released before IXA, I don't think I would have gone to the trouble of searching for free sound sources.
It can be said that the path opened by EXABELT has expanded the range of music that can be used in future products.


Well, that's all for today's CSM talk, and now I'd like to share some information about the toys that were released today.
Let's start with KAMEN RIDER SABER!
"DX Blade King Sword Cross Saber"!!!!!!!!!!

This item is used to transform into Saber's strongest form, KAMEN RIDER Cross Saber, which appeared in the preview for the next episode aired last week.
It is the strongest cross-shaped sword, created by the crossing of ten holy swords.

The most distinctive feature of this strongest form is that the sword is the new item, not the collection item (book)!
All of the strongest Rider forms from the second Heisei period onwards have had a collection item for the strongest form, which has a gimmick that connects to the belt, but Saber's sword changes!
The collection items used are all ones I have collected over the years. It was worth collecting them.

Cross Saber has a huge range of gameplay possibilities, with many special moves just using the sword alone.
By sliding the tsuba, you can mix the power of the ten holy swords.
You can enjoy the game even if you don't have a Sword Driver, as you can perform moves such as the "Cross Slash," which reads out the names of each holy sword, and the "Blade King Cross Star Fierce Slash," which changes depending on the distance you slide (the number of emblems scanned).

And if you have the Sword Driver, you can enjoy transforming into the strongest form, the Cross Saber.
The transformation sound (form name) will change depending on the number of books.
The method of transformation remains the same as before: you set the sword on your belt, insert the book, and pull out the sword.

Transform with one Wonder Ride Book: KAMEN RIDER Cross Saber
Transform with two Wonder Ride Books: KAMEN RIDER Hybrid Saber
Transform with 3 Wonder Ride Books: KAMEN RIDER Crimson Saber
Brave Dragon Lion Senki Lamp Do Aranjina Transformation: KAMEN RIDER Featuring Saber
In addition, the three Legend Rider books also feature special transformation sounds celebrating the 50th anniversary of Rider!
The Featuring Saber has a cool gimmick in that it transforms from a collection of the main form books of Saber, Blaze and Espada!

The transformation sounds are still the voices of Otsuka and Sakamoto, just like before, but all of them (except for Legend) are flashy song transformations!
The text in the speech bubble on the product page is not a reading, it's a song.
Not only does this allow Sakamoto to show off his talents as a singer, but Otsuka also sings...!!!
It's so flashy, I laughed when I first heard it because it was so grandiose. The transformation sounds for each form are all amazing.
This is definitely a must-buy item for anyone who has a Sworddriver or is collecting Ride Books.
It will be released this weekend on Saturday, June 5th. Thank you for your support.


In addition, we will be releasing new belt products called the "Legend HENSHIN BELT Series" as Legend Rider items to commemorate the 50th anniversary.
These are the "TYPHOON" and "ARCLE" whose photos I previously posted on my blog.




This year marks the 50th anniversary, so I think there will be many opportunities to see legendary riders.
This is a product that we hope will encourage children living in the Reiwa era to enjoy KAMEN RIDER that their grandfathers and fathers enjoyed, such as No. 1 and Kuuga, with the belt.
At 3,850 yen (tax included), it is an inexpensive belt and well worth the price.

For both products, when you pull the lever at the top, the center of the belt lights up, rotates, and the sound of transformation plays.
Due to their structure, the LEDs are monochromatic, so both only emit red light, but ARCLE 's transformation sounds include Dragon, Pegasus, and Titan forms.
Please check this out as well!


That's all for today's blog. The next update will be on Tuesday, June 8th.

Well then!
