BANDAI official KAMEN RIDER toy information site

Hello everyone. I'm Funasen, the CSM developer.

Did you watch the Tamashii Nation broadcast?
The visuals for "KAMEN RIDER BLACK SUN" and HENSHIN BELT design have been announced!





Since the main target audience for this work is adults, the products will be developed under the CSM brand from the start.
(Based on the reflections of the DX Amazons Driver.)

Above all, Hidetoshi Nishijima will be playing the role of KAMEN RIDER BLACK SUN.
KAMEN RIDER Moon will be played by Tomoya Nakamura.
The anticipation is high as the cast is incredibly surprising!



The belt is currently under development, and will be developed as the program progresses, taking into account feedback on the content.
The belt image shown at the event was a painted version that was still in development, so the balance is expected to be slightly different in the final version.
Pre-orders will begin in line with the release date, so I think it will be quite a while before it arrives.
So, without any hesitation, I'd like you to get DECADRIVER ver.2 first! (←This is what I want to say most right now.)


By the way, the M in CSM stands for MODIFICATION, so given the origin of the brand name, some people thought it would be strange to have CSM right from the start (there was no product to use as a basis for modifications in the first place), so when we released "Neo Amazons Driver," we released it as a product without any title.

So when we started talking about what to do this time, the CSM brand has been around for nine years and is well-known as a "HENSHIN BELT product brand made for adults", and considering the difficulty of separating the brand into smaller parts and promoting it at this point, we decided that "CSM" would be fine as the brand name for "Kamen NARIKIRI KAMEN RIDER in general for adults (target age 15 and over according to our company standards)".
Even if we were to launch a separate brand, or even if we were to simply create a separate brand called Concert, it would still take time for the concept of difference to become widely established, and if there are multiple subtle differences in definition it would simply become complicated, and there would be no benefit for those communicating the product.
So once again, we hope you will continue to support the CSM brand.

(By the way, the meaning of M = MODIFICATION originally meant "modifying and reusing the DX mold," but since the release of DEN-O BELT in 2017, it has changed to "modifying the product itself." This is also something that tends to be misunderstood, so I'd like to point it out here.)


And speaking of CSM…
​the "#CSM HENSHIN BELT Commercialization Campaign" that was held until November 19th!Thank you very much to everyone who participated in
On the first day, the event was ranked highly on Twitter trends, and we were very grateful that so many people participated.
All of our staff look over the requests for products we receive.
Some items were as expected, while others received more requests than we expected.
We will use this information as a reference for our future planning and development. Thank you very much!


Now, in the crowdfunding campaign we are currently running separately from the new BLACK, we are offering a reward of a reproduction "TV Power KAMEN RIDER BLACK Transformation HENSHIN BELT", but we have now decided to commercialize the "Shadow Moon HENSHIN BELT" as an item of the same shape using the same mold!



Is this the first time in history that a Shadow Moon belt product has been released?
Sales format and specifications will be announced at a later date.
The only thing that can be said is that these two HENSHIN BELT have a gimmick that enables them to function together.
This is an item worth having two of.
First of all, be sure to get the BLACK belt as a sister item!

The packaging design is currently in progress, but it will feature a super large header (the part that sticks out from the box on DX toys) that pays homage to the 1987 belt products.

The crowdfunding deadline is coming soon!
Please note that the deadline is Monday, November 29th!

I believe that the announcement of the cast and designs has raised expectations for the show.
Your support will directly contribute to improving the quality of this program.
We look forward to your continued support!

Due to lack of time, detailed information on the "CSM DECADRIVER ver.2" will be postponed until next week.
That's all for today's blog. The next update is scheduled for Tuesday, November 30th.

Well then.
