Kamen Rider Hibiki Blu-ray Box 1 introduces a hero whose power comes from discipline, sound and an ancient tradition of protecting others. Shigeki Hosokawa plays the experienced Hibiki, while Rakuto Tochihara portrays fifteen-year-old Asumu, whose personal growth unfolds alongside the battles of the sixth Heisei Kamen Rider series.

Deep in the mountains, rigorous training has long enabled a select few to transform into oni and gain extraordinary strength. With the support of the secret organization Takeshi, these warriors defend people from the dangerous Makamou. Hibiki's tuning-fork transformation and instrument-inspired weapons set the series apart, building its action around a strongly Japanese visual and musical identity rather than a conventional transformation belt.

This 2025 release contains the first fourteen episodes in an HD remaster scanned from the negatives. Episodes 1-4 are on the first disc, episodes 5-9 on the second, and episodes 10-14 on the third, for approximately 328 minutes of programme. A specific mastering correction restores the episode 6 title screen to a blue background after the original materials were rechecked; the earlier DVD had shown that screen against black.

The extras include a solo interview with Shigeki Hosokawa, the recorded production announcement, creditless opening and ending sequences, the original new-series preview and episode trailers. Further interviews feature Hosokawa and the pairing of Joji Shibue with Mayu Gamo. The archival announcement, creditless sequences and trailer material draw on the earlier DVD supplements, while this box presents the episodes on Blu-ray.

The three region-free Blu-rays use 16:9 1080i video and Japanese Linear PCM stereo audio. No subtitles are included. This is the opening volume of the series, not the complete collection.
