Scenes from the third installment of the "Girls Remix" spin-off series, which brings together female characters from past Kamen Rider series, "Girls Remix in Halloween Party" (to be distributed on the Toei Tokusatsu Fan Club in October), have been released.
The images include scenes of Nomura Shizuka (Koike Rina), Narumi Akiko (Yamamoto Hikaru), Rinne Kudo(Reiyo Matsumoto), Mikazuki Nayuta (Tensho Amane), and Sakurai Sara (Nene Shida) toasting in gorgeous dresses at a Halloween party, as well as scenes of Kamen Rider Wiseman, Grotta Stomach's monster form, and Heat Dopant (Hundred) lined up.
A 15-second trailer has also been released on YouTube, showing scenes of Rinne transforming into Kamen Rider Majade and fighting the Grotta monster form.
Comments from the main cast were also released. Koike, who reprises her role as Nomura Shizuka from "Kamen Rider Kiva" (2008-09), said, "I was surprised because I never thought I'd be playing Nomura Shizuka again after 17 years. Shizuka was young back then, so I wondered what had happened to her since then? What is she doing now? There were so many things I was curious about, and personally I'd wanted to return, so I was very happy."

◇ Rina Koike (role of Shizuka Nomura)
--After you were chosen to appear
I was surprised because I never thought I'd be playing Nomura Shizuka again after 17 years. Shizuka was young at the time, so what happened to her since then? What is she doing now? There were so many things I was curious about, and personally I'd wanted her to come back, so I was very happy. Although the story isn't depicted after the series ended, I'm very happy that Koike Rina, who has also aged, has been given the opportunity to play the older Nomura Shizuka again.
--What are your aspirations?
Now I'm taking on the challenge of action scenes... I honestly didn't think I'd end up fighting, so I was caught off guard. I'll do my best and move with a sharp, crisp feel (laughs).
--To the fans
"Kiba" was made 17 years ago, so I'm a little worried that some people might be wondering who Nomura Shizuka is and getting to know her for the first time, but I hope that those people will watch "Kiba" on TTFC (Toei Special Effects Fan Club) and join us in supporting Nomura Shizuka, who has returned as an adult.
◇ Nene Shida (role of Sara Sakurai)
--After you were chosen to appear
It's been a while, everyone! I'm Nene Shida, who plays Sakurai Sara/Kamen Rider Hakubi in " Kamen Rider Geats "! I was so happy when I heard about it. I was asleep at the time, but I was so happy I woke up.
--What are your aspirations?
It's been a while since I last worked with Director Sakamoto (Koichi), and Director Sakamoto is known for his action, so if I have the chance, I'd like to take on the challenge! Also, it's been a while since I last filmed "Kamen Rider," so I'm excited and nervous. Also, usually I'm with (Sakurai) Kagekazu, (Kurama) Neon-chan, and Sara-chan, but this time I'll be acting with people I've never worked with before, so I'm excited and nervous. I'll do my best.
--To the fans
It's been a while, everyone! It's Sara-neechan! I'm so happy to be Sara-neechan again. Please come and see the different Kamen Rider with all the girls, and the energetic Sara-chan as always! I'll be waiting for you!
◇Makoto Okunaka (role of Koyomi)
--After you were chosen to appear
I knew about "Girls Remix" and had heard from Takayama Yuko, who appeared in the first film, that "It's been a while since I played Rinko," but when I heard that I would be playing "Koyomi" again in my 30s, I was honestly happy, but I also felt a mixture of anxiety, excitement, and many other emotions.
--What are your aspirations?
This Koyomi may be different from the one I played back then, but I hope to do my best to portray a new Koyomi that will bring back memories for viewers.
--To the fans
It's been a long time. I'm very happy to be able to play Koyomi again after 12 years. I'm really looking forward to everyone being able to see Koyomi again. I'll do my best in the role, so I hope you'll all enjoy it.
◇Machi Chitose (role of Grotta Stomach)
--After you were chosen to appear
I never thought I would be asked to work on not only "Gav" but also "Girls Remix," and especially since it's an all-female production, I'm excited but also very happy.
--What are your aspirations?
There will be female cast members from previous works, so I'm thinking about how I can interact with them and whether I can make a living by treating them as sweets, and also, since I'll be working with Director Sakamoto, I'm wondering if I'll be able to do action scenes with my own body. I really love action itself, so I'm looking forward to experiencing a lot of different things here again. I'll do my best.
--To the fans
Since I'll be appearing in "Girls Remix" this time, you might be able to see a different appearance, character, and style from "Gav," so I hope you'll pay attention to that as well. I'll be happy if you enjoy it, so please do check it out!
◇ Fumie Taniguchi (role of Mimei)
--After you were chosen to appear
Honestly, I was like, "Wow! Really?" and I was so happy, and I was filled with surprise and gratitude that I would be given the opportunity to breathe life into the character of Mimei again. I had seen the previous film, and it was a real honor to see all the female cast members from the historic Kamen Rider line up, but I also felt a little nervous about being able to work on a project with them all, so I would like to cherish those feelings and do my best sincerely.
--What are your aspirations?
I'm really happy to be able to work with such a wonderful cast, Director Sakamoto, and the staff, so I'll do my best! Thank you!
--To the fans
Thank you so much for your continued support. I'm so happy that thanks to your support, I've been able to create such a wonderful work with all of you wonderful people! Girls Remix is the best! Let's enjoy the story together! Thank you!
