Amazon Japan began listing a new Kamen Rider series titled Kamen Rider Amazons from Ishimori Productions and Toei on Friday. The series will be available on April 1 from Amazon Prime instant video in Japan.

Tom Fujita and Masashi Taniguchi (Higurashi no Naku Koro ni live-action film) will star in the series. The story will focus on two contrasting Kamen Rider Amazons. Hidenori Ishida and Ryūta Tasaki are directing the series.

Kamen Rider Ghost, the latest installment in the long-running Kamen Rider special effects series, premiered on TV Asahi last October.

The series is part of Toei's "Superhero Year," which celebrates the 45th anniversary of the Kamen Rider franchise and 40th anniversary of the Super Sentai franchise. The Kamen Rider 1-Gō, which features both the original Kamen Rider character and Kamen Rider Ghost, will open in Japan on March 26.
