[Explanation]
A highly acclaimed work produced as one of the big projects commemorating the 50th anniversary of Kamen Rider's birth, which was exclusively distributed worldwide on [Prime Video] from October 2022 and received a great response. (10 episodes in total)
The year is 2022. For half a century, the country has proclaimed coexistence between humans and monsters, but the monsters, who live in human form, are oppressed, and humans and monsters repeatedly clash. In the midst of this, a girl who dreams of harmony meets a man named "BLACK SUN"... A profound and shocking work that sharply examines the social problems rampant in the world, asking "What is evil?" and "Who is evil?" The popular "Kamen Rider BLACK," which aired from 1987, has been rebooted as "Kamen Rider BLACK SUN" by director Kazuya Shiraishi of "The Blood of Wolves" and "The Disease Leading to Death." The screenplay is by Izumi Takahashi of "Tokyo Revengers" and "The Devil's Path." The concept visuals are by Shinji Higuchi of "Shin Godzilla," the special effects are by Kiyotaka Taguchi of the "Ultraman" series, the character designs are by Kakusei Fujiwara of "Kingdom" and "Shin Kamen Rider," and the music is by Kenta Matsukuma, who has produced music for "BiSH." Furthermore, the film stars Hidetoshi Nishijima, who is considered one of the top actors in both popularity and talent, and Tomoya Nakamura, who starred in "Drive My Car" and was acclaimed worldwide. Other talented actors such as Kokoro Hirasawa, who plays a key role as a human rights activist girl and was praised by director Shiraishi as a "genius actress," and whose future activities are highly anticipated, as well as Yo Yoshida, Gaku Hamada, Takahiro Miura, and Baijaku Nakamura, are all present, bringing together a luxurious cast and first-class talent that will lead the Japanese film industry. The superb character designs of Kamen Rider and the monsters are also a must-see. Although it is a "Kamen Rider" film, the rating is an R-18+. The extreme depictions and fierce battle scenes that would never be seen on terrestrial television are also highlights. This is a "film for adults," and a new Kamen Rider has been born that can be enjoyed not only by "Rider fans" but also by "film fans." A special sleeve and booklet are included as a first-edition bonus. The booklet includes a new interview between director Shiraishi and screenwriter Takahashi Izumi. It also contains valuable behind-the-scenes footage.
