Reservations will start today at 1pm!



A total of five products will be available, including two surprise products and two variation products.
Due to the large variety of products and the fact that there is some overlapping content, we have decided to open reservations at 1pm to allow you time to properly check the page content.

Today's blog will provide an overview of each product.


Product 1: "CSM DECADRIVER ver.2 & K-Touch"





"Magenta" not "White" The idea was to seriously remake DECADRIVER, and the first thing they did was change its appearance. Belt design details match suit props It's being redesigned.
Some easy-to-understand examples are the clear part in the center which is red, the green circle above it which is also clear green, and the three green, red and blue circular designs on each side which form a hemisphere.


(By the way, did you know that the design was inspired by the three buttons on the Ganbaride cabinet?)

The shape of the part that opens by hooking your fingers on either side has actually changed.
I think you won't really know this until you actually touch it, so I'd like you to check it out after it arrives.

If ver.2 is a suit prop design, ver.1 can be said to be an actor prop design before transformation (because it was based on DX).
Therefore, the value of ver.1 will not be lost just because you have upgraded. It is a good deal to have both.
The K-Touch that comes with this figure can basically only be attached to the belt after transformation, so I think it will fit perfectly with the look of the suit prop.
Also, if I were to do the Diend Driver, the only Diend belt that exists is a suit prop, so I'm taking that into consideration as well.


The biggest change, besides the appearance, is the sound.
Regarding the intonation, there were some differences between the cards and the actual play, so we re-recorded Mark Okita's voice this time.
While listening to the original audio, we will have you do about 10 takes for each sound, and then we will synthesize and adjust the takes to make them more consistent with the impression in the movie. On the product page, you can listen to the sound of "Slash", but we still need to polish it up, so we plan to make further adjustments from here. As in the audio, the card name and various sound effects will be overlapped.

Each card will have its own dedicated sound effect.
For Attack Rides, add unique sound effects. For Final Form Rides, add transformation sounds. And for Kamen Rides and Form Rides, add transformation sounds.
New transformation sounds have also been prepared for the Kamen Ride Cards of Riders from No. 2 onwards.
The white DECADRIVER 's Kamen Ride sound featured a shortened and edited transformation sound.
This time, a similar shortened arrangement has been added to the transformation sounds, so the fun of playing cards will increase dramatically!
It's so much fun!

To allow you to enjoy the audio to the fullest, we have included all of the cards used by Decade in the film.
(Last time, we sold some of the cards separately, but most people bought both, so we decided that there was no point in splitting the products up and that this time we would sell them all in a set.)
The total number is an astounding 125! See the card list page below.

Something that wasn't in the previous product,
- Blazing Great Slash
● Terebi-kun (appears on the DVD of the All-Member Service)
Autobajin, Rekka Daizantou, Gaga's Bracelet Blank (appeared briefly in the movie)
●9 types of Final Form Ride blanks
●Final Attack Ride Blank
Skull Blank
●Three types of cards for K-Touch (one of which is blank and completely new).



On the other hand, the "Final Form Ride Decade" that came with the previous Decade card set has not been used by Decade, so it has not been included in this product.
This product includes...

"Rekka Daizantou" was a much-anticipated addition to the game, as many people had requested. I heard that it couldn't be included last time due to copyright issues.
Years have passed, and this recording has finally come to fruition.
Meanwhile, in the movie "Super Hero Taisen," there is a scene where the Goseigers use their "Gosei Card Refle Cloud."
We would have liked to include this as well if possible, but the barcode on the Gosei Card is in a different position than on the Rider Card, so it cannot be physically scanned.
Therefore, we discussed with the relevant parties whether it would be possible to arrange the card design by forcibly changing the position of the barcode and include it in the recording, but we were unable to obtain permission from the copyright side if we had to change the design, so we were unable to realize the recording. We ask for your understanding.


Recording of background music began with the previous work, DECADRIVER, but due to storage capacity at the time, only about 15 seconds of each song was recorded.
This time, we've included all 12 songs in high quality! We've gone overboard with the goal of creating the definitive version.



Starting with that memorable "Summary of the previous episode," you can relive the entire story flow through the background music, including the theme song ⇒ enemy appearance ⇒ sermon ⇒ transformation ⇒ insert song ⇒ Final Form Ride, and so on.
Not only that, but by loading "Final Attack Ride Hibiki", you can play the music from the ensemble scene in the second part of the Hibiki world battle! (This music cannot be played with the BGM button.)


Another major element of the version 2 remake is the inclusion of many lines from Inoue Masahiro, who plays Kadoya Tsukasa!
The dialogue button has been placed where the power switch was originally located. (The power switch has been moved to the back.)
There are many memorable narration scenes in Tsukasa that are complemented by the background music, so you can enjoy those "sermons" to the fullest by combining them with the background music function above!
It took about three hours to record Inoue's voice, which contained a huge amount of lines, but he didn't take a single break in between because he didn't want to lose concentration, which was simply amazing.

We had some fun conversations in the interview, which you can see below.



Mynavi has a different interview with him, so please take a look at that too.



Also today, please check out the YouTube channel "GGE CHANNEL" in which Inoue appears!

The completely new "K-Touch" has an overall sharper impression compared to the rounder DX.

The screen size is smaller than the prop (it's the same screen size as DX), but this is to match the card design.
It is likely that the prop made the screen larger to prioritize how it would look through the video and because the fingers would become thicker when wearing a suit, making it difficult to press small areas.
If we were to try to recreate that screen size, the card design would completely change from the prop (only the rider mark would become abnormally large and encroach on the design around it), so we kept it the same screen size as DX.
(We also considered making the card size larger, but since there is a scene where the Complete Card is taken out of the Ride Booker, we decided it would be better to keep the size the same.)

The magenta parts are divided into small parts to ensure a beautiful color, and the molding color is changed to magenta and then painted magenta. Magenta.
When dividing the parts like DX, the color is inevitably pulled towards the black molding color and ends up being a little dark, but since CSM can spend more money than DX, it is possible to pursue good color development by dividing the parts into small parts and using separate molds.

Now, moving on from the appearance, in terms of electronics, the evolution from the DX is as follows:

① The Decade marks F and C will light up.
This lighting was already achieved on the "DX K-Touch 21," but since F and C emit white light, the use of red and white has made the design even more reproducible.

② Uses an electrostatic touch sensor!
The DX's touch sensor is a "resistive type," which means it only responds when you press it firmly.
However, this time it is what is commonly thought of as a "touch sensor," which means it responds to just a gentle touch.
In episode 21, when he first transformed, he responded to touch with a smooth, sliding motion, and now you can recreate that transformation scene!

3. Narutaki!!! Includes many lines from Tatsushi Okuda!



Where there is Decade, there is Narutaki. So let's bring him to our products! So we've included many of Narutaki's lines on the K-Touch!
The "number card" that was on the DX is what makes the K-Touch a mobile phone, but in the movie it was never used as a mobile phone.
Naturally, we had to include this card as a high-end DX product, but since there was no particular use for it, we recorded a gameplay feature that is a continuation of CSM Faiz Gear, in which you enter a number into a portable item to play any line of dialogue, and we asked Narutaki to come and help us.
This is the ultimate item that allows you to easily enjoy "Damn Decade!!!" anytime, anywhere.
Of course there are lines from the movie, but this damn Decade alone is packed with a wide variety of expressions, including joy, anger, sadness, and happiness.
(…No, there is no joy.)
Okuda-san also performed with great enthusiasm. I think it's a really fun item.


Product 2 "CSM DECADRIVER ver.2"



This is a driver-only product that does not include the K-Touch.
All you need is the belt to enjoy all the important scanning activities, so this is for people who just want that.
Three K-Touch cards are also included as a bonus.


Product 3: "CSM Rider Card Set -DECADE-"



This product has been further pared down in Contents so that you can purchase just the cards.
Due to the structure of DECADRIVER, scratches will inevitably appear on the cards, so this product is intended for people who want to keep their cards in good condition for their collection or who want to have spare cards.


Product 4: "CSM Ride Booker"



This is surprise product no. 1!
After releasing the driver teaser, we received a lot of requests, so we were relieved that we decided to commercialize it at the same time.
As everyone has said, the sound of the card being taken out and the action involved in it are very important points in Decade's transformation.
It also includes the sounds of flipping cards over, making it a very useful item for perfectly recreating the entire transformation scene.

The Ride Booker can also be used as a weapon, but if we tried to follow the transformation gimmick too closely, it wouldn't create the same impression as in the movie, so this time we decided to just go with the "swap" approach and transform it into sword mode and gun mode, in order to recreate the proportions.




You can get an idea of its size by looking at the photo that Mr. Inoue showed us.
...Well, Inoue-san is extremely tall, so he might look a little small.
The size was calculated backwards from the card, so it is a reasonable size for a Ride Booker, and as a sword it is shorter than the prop, but the proportions based on the Booker body as the axis are exactly the same.
In order to maintain the proportions, we have carefully designed the sword's muzzle and the grip, which can be extended by changing the length of the grip. The magenta decade mark also looks beautiful with multiple tampo printings.


Product 5: "CSM Rider Card Set EXTRA"



The second surprise product this time is an additional card item that will further expand the playability of DECADRIVER.
Please see below for a list of included cards.

Rider cards are used for transformation games, but the cards also have a collectible element.
When I was collecting all the products from the previous film, I honestly thought that if the products only contained the cards that appeared in the film, the characters would look quite disjointed when you lined them all up.
So, in order to fill that gap, we decided to create new cards of riders that would make sense given the setting of the show.
When we tried it, we found that so many things could be made into cards, and we ended up creating a total of 89 different cards.
Of course, if you load them into DECADRIVER ver. 2, the character's unique transformation sound will be played after the character's name, making them a very fun item to play with.
I can say with confidence that this is a must-buy for anyone buying a driver!

Each card is also priced at about 90 yen. When you think about it, it seems like a really good deal.
The card set -DECADE- is cheaper, at about 80 yen each.
Since this is a product that is already included in the driver, it is assumed that it will be purchased multiple times, so we have further reduced the price to make it a little more affordable.

Many of the card designs revealed today are blacked out as they are still in the design process, but we plan to release more in the future. We hope you will look forward to them.
(The amount was so large that I couldn't finish the design in time.)


Due to the large number of products available this time, the reservation deadline for the three products (Ride Booker and two types of card sets) has been extended by one month from the deadline for the belts, to January 25, 2022.
If it is difficult for you to order everything at once, please consider ordering at different times.

Please note that the first delivery will be in May for ride bookers only.

That's all for today's blog.
We look forward to your reservation!

The next update is scheduled for Tuesday, November 16th.
Well then!
