The "Premium Screening & Talk Show" was held on the eve of the distribution of both films, and featured three of the stars of "RIDER TIME MASKED RIDER SHINOBI", including Rimasu Tawada, Asuka Hanamura, and Takuma Zaikki, as well as Satoshi Matsuda, Hachimasa Takano, Shun Ichijo, and Tomohisa Yuge from "RIDER TIME MASKED RIDER RYUKI". The five actors from "RIDER TIME MASKED RIDER RYUKI", including Goshi Matsuda, Hachimasa Takano, Tomohisa Yuge, and Takashi Hagino, and the director of both films, Takayuki Shibasaki, greeted the audience on stage, sharing episodes from the shooting and behind-the-scenes stories that can only be told now.

At first, when the three cast members of "RIDER TIME MASKED RIDER SHINOBI" appeared on stage, the audience cheered and applauded in unison. In his opening speech, Mr. Tawada called out "Cho Shinobi," to which the audience responded "Po (law)," unifying the audience. When asked about a memorable episode during the filming, Mr. Zaiki replied, "When I put on the transformation belt for the first time, I was so surprised that children who were there clung to my legs. Ms. Hanamura, the heroine, said, "I was happy to be able to do an action role for the first time, which I had wanted to try for a long time. I was frustrated that I couldn't do it as I had hoped, but when I saw the finished film, I was glad that I had worked so hard. In closing, Mr. Tawada said, "I hope to see you all again as 'Shinobi'. Please continue to support us. I hope to see you all again as 'Shinobi' and I look forward to your continued support.

The audience was excited to see the cast of "RIDER TIME MASKED RIDER RYUKI" reunite with the cast from 17 years ago. The yellow cheers of female fans and the cheers of enthusiastic special effects fans echoed throughout the venue, and even children who were not born when "Masked Rider Ryuki" was broadcast on TV saw the heroes live for the first time in person.

The cast members of "Masked Rider Ryuki," who have come together again after a lapse of time, enlivened the audience from the start with their well-matched talk. We were surprised when we saw the script. It is a completely new story that has never been told before. The other day, I happened to be talking with the members of Ryuki about how we all want to do Ryuki together again, and I was surprised and delighted to hear about this. I was surprised and delighted to hear about it.

Director Takayuki Shibazaki said, "We didn't just try to recreate the Ryuki of that time, but we combined the good qualities of that time with the good qualities that are possible only today. Ichijo said, "When I was preparing for the role, I watched the first episode of "Ryuki" with my son. I felt a little embarrassed, but I was proud. I was able to do something that was very fatherly." He also shared some heartwarming episodes that came about only after 17 years had passed.

Mr. Hagino, who played the role of the king snake, said, "Back then I was young and wore a snakeskin jacket with my upper body naked, but now I'm an adult and wear innerwear. I didn't want to wear brown hair because I'm in my 40s now and I didn't want to hurt my hair, but the staff convinced me to go with brown hair after all." I didn't want to wear brown hair because I am in my 40s and I didn't want to damage my hair.

The audience also talked about Takamasa Suga, the lead actor of the film, who was unable to attend the event this time. When asked about the episode with Mr. Suga, Mr. Matsuda said, "We were more together than family back then, so even if I haven't seen him in a while or whenever I see him, it doesn't feel like it's been a long time. It was interesting to see how "Sugachi" perfectly recreated the Ryuki of that time, and I was amazed at how well he did it. When we were filming back then, we would joke around until the production started, and we had just as much fun filming this time." The episode showed how well they got along with each other. In the middle of the event, a special comment from Mr. Suga was shown on the screen. The audience was also disturbed when he said, "In the spin-off film, there is a bed scene between two men that could not be broadcast on TV.

When it was further pointed out that Mr. Matsuda has been talked about for his resemblance to Gaku Oshida-san, who plays Gates in the current TV broadcast of "Kamen Rider Zio," he replied, "I think the setting of the role and the way he does his voice are similar. When I met Mr. Oshida the other day, he said, "We don't look much alike," and when I posted a two-shot on SNS, I received about 10,000 comments saying, "You look just like him! I got about 10,000 comments saying, 'You look just like him! The audience burst into laughter.

The stage greeting ended with comments from all the cast members to the fans.

＜RIDER TIME MASKED RIDER RYUKI

Satoshi Matsuda (Ren Akiyama / Masked Rider Knight)
We have all been actors for the past 17 years, but for me personally, it hasn't been an easy 17 years. So when I heard about the spin-off, I thought to myself, "I am so glad that I have continued to act. Acting is not a profession that you can freely continue just because you want to, and it is thanks to all of you who have supported me. Thank you very much.

Hachimasa Takano [as Kaiyuki Tezuka / Masked Rider Raiya
This work was broadcast in prime time and was a legendary Rider at the time, so there was a lot of pressure and joy in doing it for the first time in over 10 years. I felt happy to be able to shoot in a different atmosphere than back then.

Shun Ichijo [Jun Shibaura / Masked Rider Guy
I am happy to have been able to participate in this work that everyone was looking forward to. With such an original cast and new cast members, it is very impressive. I think that the original Ryuukis would have been more enjoyable to watch with that sense of speed from episodes 47 and 48.

Tomohisa Yuge [as Goro Yura
First of all, I would like to thank all the people who made this work possible with this group. I have worked on other Heisei Masked Rider series, but I am very happy to have been able to work on "Ryuki," the series that I am most attached to, with these members for the last time in the Heisei era.

Takashi Hagino [Takeshi Asakura / Masked Rider O-Snake
It is thanks to all of you gathered here today, to the people who watched Ryuki back then all over Japan, and to the many people who came into contact with Masked Rider and found Ryuki interesting over the past 16 years, that this miraculous work by the members and staff was able to be made. Thanks to all of you, we were able to spend a very happy time together.

＜I would like to express my gratitude to all of you for the wonderful time we had together.

RENTARO JINZO / MASKED RIDER SHINOBI
I have loved both Super Sentai and Masked Rider since I was a child, and I never thought I would be able to transform twice in my life. I hope to have the chance to meet you all again as "Shinobi.

Asuka Hanamura [as Benihasu Kanakura
I was shaken when I was chosen as the heroine. It was my first time to take on an action role, so I hope you will give me a warm welcome. I hope you will watch me warmly as I take on my first action role.

Takuma Zaiki [as Yudo Imaou/ Kamen Rider Hattari
Since the story is set in the year 2022, I will make sure to keep my schedule clear so that I can film in the year 2022! Anyway, it's going to be fun. I'm not bluffing, I'm serious.
