W-B-X ~W-Boiled Extreme~ (the Ws in the title are read as the word "Double") is an opening theme (OP) from Kamen Rider W. It was performed by Aya Kamiki.
It also the eleventh single by Japanese musical artist Aya Kamiki and the first as a collaboration with TAKUYA, former guitarist of Judy and Mary, as Aya Kamiki w TAKUYA (上木彩矢 w TAKUYA,Kamiki Aya w TAKUYA). The song is Kamiki's first release under the Avex Trax label, and was also included in her album released under Avex titled Individual Emotion.[1][2][3]
In its first day of release, the single sold 7000 copies and reached #8 on the Oricon daily charts.[4] It also became the #1 theme song downloaded as a ringtone for the week of November 25 to December 1. The single has sold 54,176 copies during 27 weeks and has been downloaded more than 100,000 times (Gold) on mobile.
The music video begins with Philip listening to W-B-X on an old radio until it begins malfunctioning. He awakens Shotaro, who attempts to fix it to no avail. Akiko comes from nearby and slaps it with her slipper, only for the radio to emit electricity. Soon after, Kamiki and TAKUYA appear in the pit and begin performing the song in front of a live audience.
As soon as Kamiki points to the duo, they smile and begin to transform. However as the next bridge of the song begins, they do not transform. Philip realizes that the Double Driver was somehow connected to the two singers as he replaces his Cyclone Memory with the Heat Memory, and Kamiki's outfit turns red. Shotaro activates Metal, and TAKUYA received a new silver outfit. They do the same with Luna and Trigger, turning the singers' outfits into yellow and blue respectively. As a montage of their outfits interchange, Kamen Rider Double performs a combat routine in the background somewhere else before ending with his signature pose.
The radio began to emit sparkles and explodes in the faces of Shotaro, Philip, and Akito, with Kamiki, TAKUYA, and the crowd nowhere to be seen. As the smoke clears, Shotaro spots a guitar pick with the letters "W-B-X" engraved on it.

また誰かが 突然ドアをたたく

W-B-X crime and the city (x2)
W-B-X Crime and the city
Once again, someone's knocking at the door
Got a feeling it's a case; Welcome to Windy city
Tears do not go well with this city
Find the Keyword that's concealed in the darkness
A dream that I cannot reach alone
(Look into the infinite archives,
dive into the sea of memories)
But with you around, we can make it come true, Half and Half
(Double Boiled Extreme!)
W-B-X!
The Bodies & Souls of two,
(I'll ride with Only you and no other)
Become one
W-B-X!
Upon meeting the ultimate partner
A miracle will be created (So We can make it)
Search for W (Double)!
(W-B-X Crime and the city)
The chaos of the city, the alluring scent of danger
A storm is coming; Welcome to Windy city
Slip through the congesting News and lies
Find the Keyword that's hidden from sight
Someday, the strength of this combination of trust
(As halves, the two are extreme,
Skills are unleashed from 2 ways)
Will, with no doubt, save this city, trust and trust
(Double Boiled Extreme!)
W-B-X!
The Bodies & Souls of fate,
(It can be no one else but Only you alone)
Become one
W-B-X!
The ultimate chemistry has happened
Sweep away the topic (So We can make it)
Search for W!
People have disappeared from there,
And now, the city is but an empty box
The wind that connects us together,
There's no sign of cessation!
W-B-X!
The Bodies & Souls of two,
(I'll ride with Only you and no other)
Become one
W-B-X!
Upon meeting the ultimate partner
A miracle will be created (So We can make it)
We're W (Double)!
W-B-X!
The Bodies & Souls of fate,
(It can be no one else but Only you alone)
Become one
W-B-X!
The ultimate chemistry has happened
Sweep away the topic (So We can make it)
Search for W!
