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

Pre-orders for the "CSM Lockseed Yggdrasil Set" have started today!



This time's lineup is titled "Yggdrasil" and is filled with items that are related to the company.

●Pine Cone Lockseed: Of course, it's mainly used as Hatsuse-chan's dark shadow, but also as a trooper element for Yggdrasil Corporation.
-Lemon Lockseed: Of course, it's for Professor Ryoma.
- Forbidden Apple Lockseed: Used by Shugetsu Tohka Idun, a subject in Yggdrasil's research.
●Pomegranate Lockseed: Used by the former head of research at Yggdrasil, Kudo Kukai, Savior. This name is super cool, isn't it?
●Blood Orange Lockseed: Originally released as a Lockseed for Bushin Gaim, it was included in the set because Savior used it.
Sunflower Lockseed: The most versatile and popular of the Lockseeds made popular by Yggdrasil.

That's why I put together this set of six.
I was hesitant to combine the Forbidden Apple with the remaining three apples because that would have fit in better, but after keeping the concept of each set in mind and calculating all the way up to the final set, it seemed better to group them together with Yggdrasil, so I've included it here.

I have the impression that Blood Orange was out of stock at the time, so I think that by re-releasing it as CSM, many people will be able to get their hands on it for the first time.
When Blood Orange is set into the Genesis Core, the transformation sound will activate in the same tempo as Savior's transformation sound in the movie, with the number of seconds until activation adjusted.
Also, there was no interjection (in this case, ``Haa!''), or rather the cut sound was ``Haa!'', so we will be removing the interjections.


The Himawari Lockseed has skipped the DX and gone CSM, so I wondered what I could do with it as a toy... and I thought about it a lot.
This sound effect was included in the driver's side because it was not cut from the movie, but rather the driver simply set it on his belt and locked on to receive nutrition.
As a toy, the same feeding sound is recorded in the same place as the transformation sound so that cutting the toy can provide additional nutrition.
We are also currently working on improving the sound effects in the Inves game. We will provide more details in a future blog post.

The other Lockseeds are made with the same concept as previous CSM versions.


The faceplate is also a very important item as it unlocks lines for SENGOKU DRIVER.
There are five types this time, so I think it is a must-have item to expand the range of driver play. I would like those who missed the Gaim set to get it.
Please note that Idun's faceplate is the only one that does not have a cast voice.
The Kurokage Trooper's faceplate is the same as the one that came with the "CSM SENGOKU DRIVER Project Arc Edition."
It is now possible to play the lines from Jonouchi's transformation in the final episode.


This is the first time we've received an order for Lockseeds in a while, so we'll be continuing to release several sets at this pace this year as well.
I wonder when we'll get to the Genesis Driver... I hope you'll continue to support the development of the series.
Thank you very much.


Well, next week on Tuesday, January 25th,
CSM Ride Booker
CSM Rider Card Set EXTRA
CSM Rider Card Set -DECADE-
Reservation deadline is here!

The other day, we released some of the card sounds on Twitter, and as you can see in the latter half of the video, the transformation sounds of the riders from No. 2 onwards included in EXTRA have been arranged and recorded in the "shortened transformation sounds" that are characteristic of the white DECADRIVER. I think it's clear once again, but this is the ultimate product that allows you to easily enjoy the transformation sounds of the first Heisei riders with just this one belt.
There is no HENSHIN BELT toy like Gills that makes sounds.

The Card Set EXTRA is a must-have card for playing DECADRIVER ver.2 to the fullest.
If you don't have this, you will be wasting your time because you will not be able to play the 90 different sounds that are on the belt.
So, to those who have purchased DECADRIVER
It may seem strange for me to say this as a seller, but I want to say it strongly.
It would be a shame to waste it, so be sure to buy the EXTRA as well!!!

The second round of pre-orders for the EXTRA set has started today. It will be shipped in May. Thank you for your support.








By the way, some people have raised concerns that there is no silver line on the shoulder of "Stronger Charge Up", which was added the other day, but of the image materials that can be used for products, the only one left for Charge Up is one with a rotating S mark (probably taken for a still photo shoot), and even among those, the only one that was facing forward and had high resolution that could be used for a card was the current design, so we decided on this card design.
There is no silver line when the S mark is rotating, so this is not a design mistake. Thank you for your understanding.



This is a part of the original image, and as you can see by looking at the arrow, there is a rotating afterimage of the S mark. It is also slightly reflected on the card.


Finally, there were some points in the previous blog post about "CSM DEN-O BELT Movie Edition" that were not explained clearly, so I have revised the blog post at the link below. (Transformation play of the Ghost Skull Form)
[Blog article here]
The product has already arrived, so I'm sure those who already have it are aware of this, but thank you for your help.

That's all for today. The next update will be on Friday, January 28th.
The next day, we will start shipping out the "CSM HENSHIN BELT TYPHOON," and the article will include an introduction to the product sample and some operating precautions that we were unable to include in the instruction manual due to TYPHOON issues.
Well then!
