Amazon.co.jp removed the title from the opening single.
Previously it was listed as "Switch On", now it simply says New Masked Rider Opening Title TBA (新仮面ライダーOP タイトル未定)

Huh...going to be interesting to see how they'll make a chorus around that :laugh:

I'm starting to think that this year's OP will be instrumental just like Hibiki's and modern american cartoons.

 

[Frumix]

They wouldn't release a separate single just for the OP if it was instrumental.

Were you here during Hibiki? Kagayaki recieved it's own separate single IIRC

Not exactly. The disc was the theme song, Shonen Yo, and Kagayaki was a B-track on that. Current description still claims there is an opening as the main dish.

Well... Avex and Toei are corporations, all they want is money. The are not companies that are going to hide their main sell window.

Am I the only one who thinks that keeping this hidden is wierd? Avex never did this before, NEVER, EVER. Why that? Because they sell things using the hype factor like "OMG!! Gackt is gonna sing the new Kamen Rider Decade Opening, go buy the single when it comes out". No! This year we didn't have any information during the Press Conference. As a matter of fact, the song that was playing during the trailer didn't look too much as an instrumental for a possible vocal song (The Press trailers for OOO and W featured an instrumental of their Openings).

The fact that we are two weeks away from the show's airing, and we don't have any CLUE of the opening singer, doesn't make you think that there is actually no singer? If Fourze is really trying to approach this "American show" vibe, why not do like the modern cartoons and shows from here and put only a instrumental opening?

Pointless speculation.
They might have a new artist up their sleeve which they want to promote through the show rather than the other way around. Some random contractual obligations might have emerged that were not sorted out yet.

atriotic:

I don't see how pertinent is your speculation compared to mine but let's leave it like that, we will figure it out in 2 weeks
