Press Conference happened.
The Kamen Rider Eternal actor is singing the theme song.
Plus the writer of W...and a red, vehicle-themed police Rider.
W Part 2?
Even the poster reminds me of the scene in W.B.X where Terui ropes off the crime scene.
Consider me excited for Drive.Apparently Riku Sanjo is writing Drive, and Takahito Omori is a producer.

I think he would fine without the tire sticking out of his chest.
Mr. Peppler has been chosen to portray professor Streinbert, the developer of the Drive System and Tridoron.
Whoa did they just reverted to kanji for kamen again?
It kinda seems like Otsuka did the voice for the 4 main lockseeds and Pine, then Hiratoko took it from there with the others.Sengoku = Seiji Hiratoko
Genesis = Miki Shinichiro
A lot of people thought for awhile at first Deneb's voice, the narrator of Gaim, Hochu Otsuka, did the Sengoku Driver.
Er, when did they not use kanji for "Kamen"?
I thought they used Masked before but changed to Kamen around Double?

It sounds like Christopher Peppler isn't voicing the Drive Driver/Trideron, but playing their inventor.

Of course I guess he could maybe be doing both.
The kanji never went away.

It wouldn't be recent Heisei Kamen Rider without an outrageous element of design thrown into the mix. Dude has the best belt in years, though.
Yeah that's one other weird thing about the design, the logo on his belt and on his forehead are different.

The "R" does appear on the belt. You can see it in the pictures here. The belt design just changes with Type and Shift. The "S" is Type Speed, his base form.
Story:
The Roimyuudo are android-like beings who desire to become human. With exception of some leaders, the Roimyuudo are all spread across the net in light form. The leaders, using the platform left behind, work to revive the original Roimyuudo and stage an uprising against mankind. There are others who want to revive by themselves from the network by learning strong human thoughts that allow them special powers. They can access townspeople and cause various types of mysterious cases. Standing in their way are the Tokyo MPDs Special Unit whose latest recruit, Shinnosuke, gains the ability to fight them as Kamen Rider Drive. Using new powers granted by Shift Cars and his supercar, the Tridoron, he aims to stop their plans.
Cast:
Takeuchi Ryouma will play Shinnosuke/Kamen Rider Drive. Shinnosuke used to be a passionate elite until an incident happened and a fellow detective of his unit was left incapacitated. He lost all motivation as a police officer. However, because of this, he is assigned to the Special Unit. After coming across the Drive Driver, he secretly becomes Kamen Rider Drive. His main vehicle is that of the supercar Tridoron.
Rio Uchida plays Kiriko Shijima, a beautiful, but scary and almost robot-like young woman. Shes responsible for all the technical work at the Special Unit and knows Kamen Rider Drives true identity, often helping him during fights.
Rei Yoshii plays the impatient Rinna Sawagami, an Electron Physicist who researches the powers and abilities of the Roimyuudo monsters. In additional to covering the Special Units mechanical work, she doubles for Shinnosuke whenever hes out searching for things.
Kyuu Saijou, played by Kenta Hamano, is a Network researcher. While hes an expert at what he does, hes still more or less a nerd in love with occult stuff. His approach to the cases sometimes gets him in trouble with the rest of the team.
Tsurutarou Kataoka, the trouble-hating Police HQ Chief is played by Jun Hongnaji. Into fortune telling and feng shui, hes often found wearing different ties on different days to match his lucky color. Because of Shinnosukes tendency to slack off, he assigns Kiriko to watch over him.
Rounding out the cast is Taira Imata as Genpachirou Otta, the foul-mouthed, yet reliable lieutenant of the Special Unit. Otta thinks the Special unit is nothing more than a burden, and often tends to make fun of the Occult Club at the station. However, he gets along with Shinnosuke. He loves children but he doesnt want anyone to know this.
Villains:
On the side of the Roimyuudo are firstly, their black-clad secret leader Heart , voiced by Tomoya Warabino (Gokusen 3). Also among them is Brain, voiced by Shouta Matsushima (Godhand Teru), in charge of intelligence gathering and analysis. He has a nervous personality and regards Drive as being the most dangerous. He can fight with nervous attacks. Drives main rival in is the mysterious professional hitman Chase, played by Taikou Katoono (No Dropping Out: Back To School At 35), who rides the custom Shinigami motorcycle. A silent ladies man, his identity has yet to be shown.
Staff:

Holy crap I LOVE the police lieutenant. He's really expressive and I think he's supposed to define a parody of "loose cannon cop". If he's supposed to be the crazy higher ranking office and its something like that I am gonna enjoy me some crazy ass dialogue out of him.

My wife, who loves Double to an unhealthy degree, remains unhyped for this show.
WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE?
She's smarter than us.
I'd watch Drive, but I want to check out OOO, Fourze and Gaim first. I know everyone says to skip Wizard.
I'm currently re-watching OOO, and I can say that it's definitely worth checking out. Gaim is an obvious choice, but still, give Wizard a few episodes.I'd watch Drive, but I want to check out OOO, Fourze and Gaim first. I know everyone says to skip Wizard.
Gotta drive fast.What is Drive's catchphrase? Justice in the fast lane?
Oooh, villain may be a Rider too?Drive’s main rival in is the mysterious professional hitman Chase, played by Taikou Katoono (No Dropping Out: Back To School At 35), who rides the custom Shinigami motorcycle.
