The following description is courtesy of David Hirsch from The Collectors Den:

Columbia has released a new compilation of opening themes, " Kamen Rider Opening Theme Song Shu" . From the original series signature tune right up to the recent "Kamen Rider Hibiki," where he slays the beasties with his magical kodo drumsticks, it's a great album for fans of the masked rider!

Additional info:

All of the tracks on this CD seem to be vocal tracks. Track 17 is "ELEMENTS", the CD single for this is also on this site at this link: Kamen Rider Blade - ELEMENTS (AVCA-22153).
