Interesting. There's been a lot of news like this lately. I have a feeling that either due to the relative success of Dogengers and Jizaris, or because of the demise of Super Sentai, there are a lot of tokusatsu projects popping up outside of the big franchises.

So this is what Sakamoto has been up to lately.

I'm going to guess there's some kind of big music component.

It looks like two of the members are women?

Exactly. First MKP, and now this.

Teaser No.2 has dropped. Our main four protagonists are Presto, Adagio, Vivace, and Lento. A fifth character by the name of Soraiya (I assume is the commander/mentor figure of the show) has also been revealed.

* Presto will be suit-acted by Ryuma Hashido (suit-acted as Wingman in WINGMAN, acted as Tasogare/Kamen Rider Eternal in Kamen Rider Gotchard and Iwashita/UW Zyuoh Eagle in Gozyuger) and voiced by Kensho Ono.

* Adagio will be suit-acted by Momoka Takasaki (suit-acted as Dino Fury Pink in PRDF, Cosmic Fury Red PRCF, UW Red Racer in Gozyuger, and Kamen Rider Muez in Kamen Rider 555: Paradise Regained) and voiced by Kaori Nazuka.

*Vivace will be suit-acted by Takashi Furuya (suit-acted as Cosmic Fury Orange in PRCF, Kiramai Yellow in Kiramager VS Ryusoulger) and voiced by Kappei Yamaguchi (Torabolt in Robotack and Ticket in ToQger).

*Lento will be suit-acted by Mizuho Nogawa (suit-acted as Momoninger in Ninninger and Kyoryu Pink in King-Ohger) and voiced by Megumi Han (Kyuemon Izayoi in Ninninger, Luna Kokonoe/Midoninger in Ninninger: Ninnin Girls vs Ninnin Boys FINAL WARS, and Pega in Ultraman Geed).
