Kadokawa Shoten Presents

Nicknames: "The Silver Bird", "Dragon/Phoenix Transformation", "The Fiery Medallion"

Logo:
On a black background, we zoom out from the glass orb with blue flames bursting inside, which they burst out and we zoom out through the dark tunnel until we zoom out of the mouth of the red dragon, who's breathing out blue fire and carrying the glass orb flying around the dark blue cloudy sky. The giant book zooms from the bottom of the screen and the fiery comet flies around from the bottom-left corner, causing the dragon to fly away to the top-right, and the comet hits the book, letting out 2 shock waves and the flash of light, dissipating it into pieces in the process to reveal the gold CD inside, while same dragon flies in from the bottom and transforming into a fiery fire bird, resulting from the destruction of the book. The fire bird then briefly halts at the bottom-left and circles the CD, turning it into a gold medallion with the famous Kadokawa bird embossed on it, and enveloping it in flames. Then the medallion explodes, causing the same bird, but made out of silver, to appear instantaneously. The bird zooms out and the crystal shards forming "KADOKAWA SHOTEN" and "PRESENTS" and multicolored streaks shooting outwards from behind.

Trivia: The fire bird enveloping the CD/bird medallion and exploding is the call-back to the 1st Kadokawa Pictures logo.

Variants:
  • A short version of it exists, starting with the bird medallion burning and exploding.

FX/SFX: Everything. Excellent CGI.

Music/Sounds: We start out with computer beeps backed by a whoosh, then it segues into a dramatic orchestral theme coupled with sound effects (windchimes for the shine of the glass orb, the dragon's roar, whooshes for the comet's impact and the fire bird setting the medallion on fire, hisses for
the destruction of the book).
