Mano Erina appears at a stage greeting for “Kamen Rider” movie

On December 10th, Hello! Project’s Mano Erina appeared at a stage greeting for the upcoming film, “Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider Fourze & Ozu MOVIE Taisen MEGA MAX“.

Mano, who plays the role of ‘Kamen Rider Nadeshiko’, commented, “Once again, I feel I was given a great role. ‘Nadeshiko’ was also this year’s popular word.” She continued, “It’s a bittersweet movie, so I want Nadeshiko to be a first love for a child, and I want adults to remember their first love.”

This film is the latest of the “Kamen Rider MOVIE Taisen” series, and features both Kamen Rider Fourze and Kamen Rider Ozu. The story begins at Amanogawa High School, where a mysterious high school student (Mano) comes falling from the sky. The main character, ‘Kisaragi Gentaro’ (Fukushi Souta), just barely catches her, but finds that she does not speak very well. Gentaro looks at her student ID and finds out that her name is ‘Misaki Nadeshiko’, and immediately falls in love with her.

While all this is happening, the Zodiarts attack the school, and Gentaro transforms into Kamen Rider Fourze. Then, Nadeshiko takes out a transformation item, and turns into Kamen Rider Nadeshiko to fight alongside Fourze.

Director Sakamoto promoted the film saying, “Don’t be shy, cry and laugh aloud. Enjoy the film.” Fukushi Sota, Takahashi Ryuki, Shimizu Fumika, Watanabe Shu, Miura Ryosuke, Takada Riho, and Arai Atsushi also attended the event.
