Cast comments

Sou Okuno(Sougo Tokiwa / Masked Rider Gio)
I went to see the movie with a friend from my hometown (Osaka), and my friend said to me, "It's so funny that you are sitting next to me in the movie! I was told by my friend, "It's so funny that you're in the movie sitting next to me! I was not noticed by the people around me, but it was a good opportunity for me to directly feel the audience's reaction. Performing with Mr. Sato gave me goosebumps from start to finish, and was a valuable experience for me!

＜The first calligraphy of the year: "Absorption.
I want to learn and absorb everything this year.

Gaku Oshida[as Meikoin Gates/ Masked Rider Gates
I received a line out of the blue from my dance teacher saying, "I have seen all 20 (Heisei Rider) films, and your Rider is perfect! I was happy to hear that!

<Heisetsu Rider Gates> "Deyaaaaaa" with a pose.
I wrote this with the desire to win. Since I keep losing, I want to make at least one rider kick this year! I will do my best!

Shieri Ohata[as Tsukuyomi
I contacted a good friend of mine and she said, "I'm going to watch Masked Rider now," so we went to see the movie together. I went to see the movie with my good friend. I could see the reactions of the audience right in front of me, and I was smiling as I watched. I think it would be a lot of fun if the audience called out the past Kamen Riders together with the children and adults during the scene where the children and adults are calling out the past Kamen Riders.

<The beginning of the calligraphy> "Leap forward".
I hope to make more efforts and leaps forward, as I did with the filming of "Geo".

Keisuke Watanabe[as Woz
I went to see the site on the day Takeru Sato was recording. I went to see the filming on the day Takeru Sato was filming and the atmosphere was tense and crisp. The staff was very passionate about the film because it was a commemorative film and many of the legends had also appeared in the TV version. I felt the staff's desire to leave a lasting impression in the hearts of everyone who watched the film.

<The first calligraphy of the year> "Celebrate
We haven't celebrated on TV yet this year, so I want to celebrate as much as I can. When I say "celebrate," please say "celebrate.
