Kamen Rider: Dragon Knight - The Official Thread

[Silver Wolf]

Now just like Kamen Rider Double, Dragon Knight has it's own Official Toei.jp page (Google Translated Version).

Can someone please properly translate or least summarize what's on there?

Also, according to a blog post I found, supposedly (consider it a rumor for the time being) Toei Hero Net's shopping section will have for the month of April:
-Dragon Knight "Pikkukichen" or "ピックキーチェーン" (Can someone elaborate on what exactly this is? Pictures?) at 500 yen each.
-Dragon Knight Mousepads (supposedly varieties include Black, Grey and Magenta) at 1000 yen each (by shipping)
-and Dragon Knight Stickers for 500 yen.

The order period for all of this being from April 1 to April 30.

If only that was a glimpse of the future of american Kamen Rider. :disappoin

Bootlegging?

I know this is really really old, but there's something odd about this marketing reel:

The Lobby creates Kamen Rider Dragon Knight marketing reel for Ishimori Production Inc., Toei Company, Ltd., Adness Entertainment Co.

(I had to hide it because the image was so big)

What exactly do they mean by "28 Theatrical Releases"? I know Adness wanted to make a movie, but were really going big and releasing that many movies...and theatrical on top of that? :sly:

You could possibly deduct "All Riders" and "Movie Wars 2010", as it's likely the "marketing reel" was created in early 2009, during Dragon Knight's TV run, likely to inform potential marketers of the history and "benefits" of the franchise if they decided to set up a contract. Thus, "28" was the "current" number of Kamen Rider theatrical productions at the time that had been released for public consumption.

 

[Wheatley]

I guess Adness was talking about the history of all the Kamen Rider movies released in Japan.

Well that answers my question.

 

[Silver Wolf]

So sorry to post this at such an early hour, only found about this now and I might as well report it in case it vanishes.

Found a clip of Dragon Knight from the TV-Asahi broadcast, which in addition to the show they also seem to have "KRDK Fact File" bits at the end of the episode.

The interesting thing here is that they have "Dive Into the Mirror" playing in the background and it sounds pretty good for an "exclusive song." (The band's name is "Defspiral" apparently)

Check it out:

Well I finally managed to get past the first 10 episodes of dragon knight (after a few months gap) and have now finished the series after 3 days of hardcore watching it.

Gotta say after the initial struggle I enjoyed it, found it better than Ryuki to be honest, (Ryuki seemed slow paced) however I am now going back to watch Ryuki again, after realizing I never watched the movie of it :O le gasp!.

But yer the show shouldnt of been canceled, hell it woulda been nice to see a run on UK TV.

 

[nerefir]

Did we already see those interviews with Steve Wang and Nathan Long? I don't exactly remember.

 

[Silver Wolf]

I can't recall either, though it is possible they were put up earlier.

More of [DIVE INTO THE MIRROR] (or at least a "clearer" version) is used in a short "introduction" to the show, likely goes on prior to the start of the show or right after the actual opening credits.

It's still a cool opening either way:

Anyone able to figure out the lyrics?
