Any others not listed just ask

Again, I’m super sorry for the delay of this fanreport! I apologize if I mix up details from the afternoon session and night session together!  My memory is a bit fuzzy already but I will do my best! Remember, my Japanese isn’t the best and this isn’t beta-ed as usual! Sorta picture heavy.

So I went to both the afternoon and night session! I went to the afternoon session with Emi ( @emii-suterii ). She wrote a fanreport on the afternoon session so you can read it HERE. And since she did one on the afternoon session, I will just do a fanreport on the night session! They’re both pretty much different! :3

I was really happy to be able to go to both sessions!  Actually, I didn’t win tickets for the first application period. But before applying, I asked Emi if she wanted to go together. I was going to apply for two tickets anyways because I didn’t want to go alone. >__< She said yes! I figured it would be better if we both applied for two tickets, just in case. Good thing that happened because I didn’t win the tickets but Emi did! And thank god for Emi’s luck because we got really AWESOME seats for the afternoon session. Block D and row 4!!! I didn’t even need to look at the screen at all. And they were so close!!! >/////////////<

Anyway, I decided I should apply for the night session for the second application period. I was originally planning to go to only one session but I had gotten two serial numbers, one from the first DVD and one from the second DVD. I thought, why not? This would be my first time going to both the afternoon and night session of an anime seiyuu event (not counting lives). Again, I applied for two tickets but for the night session. Truthfully, I didn’t think that I would win tickets but I actually did!

I planned to just post on twitter and ask if anyone wanted to come with me since Emi wouldn’t be able to make it. Luckily, Emi’s friend, Jessa, wanted to go so we went together! :3

On the day of, Emi, Jessa, and I planned to meet at Tokyo Station at the platform heading to Maihama Station around 8:15. So we got on and headed there. Even though I went to Maihama Amphitheater for Kiramune’s Reading Live, it was such a long time ago so I didn’t remember the way. Luckily, Emi did so we just followed her.

Surprisingly, for the goods this time, only people who had the Prince of Stride event ticket could buy the goods. I’ve never gone to an event that had done that… so it was interesting. It was kind of nice, too. When we got there, the line didn’t seem bad at all so we just sat down. The weather was surprisingly cool as well. The venue is near the sea so it was cooler. Plus, it was a bit cloudy and really windy.

We got to know each other a bit more while waiting! The staff passed out the goods form to make the transactions smoother. You have to write down how many you wanted of each item. They also lent us these pencils. There were also extra goods that weren’t listed on the official website!

I felt a bit tempted to buy more stuff but I was able to control myself. I’m sorry, wallet… you’ve been through a lot… what with Starmyu and KiraFes. XD

I decided to just get the pamphlet. That’s it. XD I’m a pamphlet collector. xP It’s the first picture of this post.

The staff eventually announced that they would start selling goods at 10:30 instead of 11:00 so yay! I think it took around an hour to get the goods because they only let in around 20 people at a time. After that, Jessa left to go to a dj event. Emi and I decided to go to Tully’s and eat something before the event started.

After we ate, we decided to look at the pamphlet (I’ll take pictures of it soon). XD AHHHHHH RYOHEI AND NOBU. <333 Ryohei looks really good. We fangirled and talked for a bit before heading back to the venue.

We started lining up and I was surprised to see that not many fans had lined up yet. Although the venue is small, it was still a surprise.

Though I found out that wasn’t the main reason… Jessa had messaged Emi about how the trains hadn’t been running for a while… I realized that many fans probably went somewhere else and couldn’t come back to the venue because the trains weren’t running. Even Suwabe tweeted about his concern about the trains not running… Luckily, the staff pushed back the time to 14:30. It was supposed to start at 14:00 but the staff was considerate to change the time due to the train problem.

So Emi and I headed in.

We found the present boxes! They’re adorable!

It was nice that it wasn’t that crowded yet and we took pictures of the flower bouquets and stands!

There were also tapestries, too!

Next is the Galaxy Standard portraits!! And they were signed by the seiyuu as well!! <3

Mamo’s handwriting is just so <333

Wow… I’m impressed because he wrote the kanji for “Thank you” *___*

Oh god… Egu… XD

Looks like it’s part of his jacket design. XD

Niiiice!

Haha.. cute!

We decided to head to our seats!

It was easy to find our seats and I was freaking out over the fact we were SOOOO CLOSE. XD And I had a REALLY AWESOME time with Emi during the afternoon session. Thank you so much, Emi!!! <333

It lasted for around two hours. After it ended, we waited for Jessa. We managed to meet up and went back to the venue. Unfortunately, Jessa and I had to say good-bye to Emi. ;w;

I thought that they might push back the time for the night session but they didn’t. When we got in, there were a lot more people and it was a bit more orderly as well. We got in line to take pictures of the Galaxy Standard members. Well, I already took pictures of them but I figured I could take better ones plus there was still time before the event started.

So our seats were pretty much in the back. XD K Block, Row 21 but still decent since it was a small venue. I did have to look at the screen more though. I was basically in the same area as the afternoon session but just farther back.

————————————————————————————————————————-

And so the event started at 18:30!

First, you heard OnoYuu’s voice. He was on the phone with his nii-chan (brother). And then Egu and Tosshi joined in. (Yay Galaxy Standard!). I don’t remember what happened now…  (In the afternoon session, Ryohei, Hanazawa, and Nobu started it off and it was super adorableeee. They were like, “What? It already started?” kind of thing).

And then in the center of the stage… how do I describe it…? The center of the stage has a circle and so all the seiyuu appeared on stage slowly from below with a pose. XDDD

From the left, the order was Tosshi, Egu, Suwabe, Hanazawa, Ryohei, Nobu, Shimono, Okiayu, OnoYuu, and Matsuoka. Everyone was wearing the jerseys pertaining to their character.

Ryohei and Nobu led the fanmeeting and first off, they did introductions! They each introduced each other as “Prince of” something. XD

• Ryohei started it off and then Nobu. I don’t quite remember what they said… XD
• ThenHanazawa! A lot of us were yelling out that she was really cute! And she’s seriously so adorable and then she looked like she couldn’t take it anymore and screamed, “HAPPINESS!!!” She said she was the princess of eating bread (?). Haha she’s really cute.
• Next up was Shimono! FREAKING ADORABLE. He was wearing glasses (Ayumu heehee)! He said he would also represent Hozumi in spirit! And he had that black kitty with a yellow scarf hanging from his pants and he showed us his back, which had this big can badge of Hozumi. DAWWWW <3333 I only remember in the afternoon session, he said he was prince of kimchi. XD I didn’t catch what he said during the night session. But he’s such a cutie. I was surprised he didn’t say he was prince of karaage. XD
• ThenSuwabe was next! Unfortunately, I don’t remember what he said. >__<
• After that was Okiayu who said, “Please say kyaa!!!” and pointed the microphone to the audience. Then we went kyaa!! Hahaha. Then he said he was the prince of full of karaage. (reference to the afternoon session where he ate a whole plate of karaage). XD
• ThenEgu went he was the prince of debt (same as the afternoon session). Ryohei pointed out that that means that he must owe a lot of people money. XDDD Typical Egu…
• Followed by OnoYuu who said, “Konbanwa!” and pointed the mic to the audience. We said it back! He said he was the prince of yo-yo. He’s really good at doing tricks with his yo-yo. xP
• And then Tosshi… man HE’S FREAKING ADORABLE TOO. XD He ran around the stage first and then said, he was the prince of… and stumbled and said prince again. And the other seiyuu were like, “Prince of prince!?” Then he said he was the prince of megane (glasses). XD
• Finally,Matsuoka. He was wearing a pink Ichijokan jersey to represent Hachiya Tetsu. (In the afternoon session, he wore a green Mihashi jersey to represent Kamoda Kei). He voices two characters in Prince of Stride so… XD I think he mentioned how he was the prince of doing his best (because he voiced both of his characters in the drama script reading for the afternoon session. And both of his characters were on the same team so you can imagine how he had to do a conversation with essentially himself XD It was pretty amusing and amazing).

I felt like the cast was really pumped up for the night session and I think the cast mentioned that as well. XD

Ryohei told us to say, 3, 2, 1 GO (in English) to start off the event!

So most of the members left the stage except for Matsuoka and OnoYuu. So first off was a mini-drama.

• So Hachiya kept going on how he will buy goods for Himemiya and he would buy Himemiya goods. He went on and said he wanted the clearfile, bromides, etc.. He basically worships Himemiya. XD Asuma and Hachiya talked about the fan meeting goods. And Asuma went something along the lines of, “Wait, but there aren’t any Hime goods.” And Hachiya was like, “Yes there is! The clearfile,” and the screen suddenly did a zoom-in on the Himemiya clearfile. I think Hachiya wanted to buy more than one…
  
• Then Asuma promoted the Prince of Stride DVDs. I remember Hachiya saying he has all the Prince of Stride DVDs as well and Asuma was impressed with that. XD I think Hachiya said he could watch Hime as much as he wanted. God… he’s such a Hime fanboy. XD
  
• And then Asuma said he had an announcement. He kept us in suspense by saying, “Nanto (I can’t really translate this but it’s something along the lines of “It seems that…”) and then pausing. He did it a few times (during the afternoon session, Egu dragged it on longer and it was seriously adorable) and announced that this event will be on DVD!  AAHHHHHHH a;sjdkflawe
  

Next up was an original drama script reading corner called “Exhibition Match”. So this exhibition match is set in Smile Land (aka Disneyland. I kept thinking…. So that’s why the venue is in Maihama Amphitheater. We’re literally next to Disneyland. It’s perfect!).

• So first, you see Tosshi, Shimono, Egu, and Nobu. On the screen, there was a picture of a blimp in the sky with balloons and bubbles of the characters on stage. Ayumu was talking very fast so I couldn’t keep up with the Japanese but he was just really cute. I just thought he was very random and sorta crazy (You know his character). I felt like he was doing some kind of weird comedy skit. At one point, his glasses flew off. XD Then Fujiwara said a famous line and then Ayumu did his infamous line where he said, “Stop! Line stealer!” and you hear that police siren. XD
• I remember Okumura was just being a freaking adorable Kuga-senpai fanboy and there was a picture of Kuga on the screen. Eventually, Ayumu got interrupted when there was a sudden strong wind. Okumura said that the wind must mean that Kuga is near. More fanboying. And then Suwabe joined them. More fanboying. Okumura is SO FREAKING ADORABLE. He even did this SQUEAL… I don’t even know how to describe it.
• Then Okiayu joined in and said they would do an exhibition match. One of them was like, “Wait, but there are only 5 members. How are we going to do a match?” Dan-sensei said, “Look again.” Then they started to count and only got up to five. Then Dan-sensei said he would participate in this match! The other members were surprised at this! Okumura was freaking out, fanboying, and wondered if he would be on the same team as Kuga. He sounded like he would die out of happiness if that happened. Okiayu announced the two teams.

• Team Ayumu: Ayumu (relationer), Ban-chan, and Fujiwara

• Team Dan-sensei: Dan-sensei (relationer), Okumura, and Kuga

• And you don’t know how much Okumura was freaking out being on the same team as Kuga. SOOO CUUUTE. XD And Kuga seemed a bit overwhelmed with the fanboying. XD I think Kuga told Okumura to do his best and Okumura was very earnest to do that.
• The first runners would be Ban-chan vs Okumura. And the last runners would be Fujiwara vs Kuga. Fujiwara said he would not lose to Kuga. Then the match started. At first, Ban-chan was in the lead. But Okumura got motivated by Kuga and I think he got in the lead. When they touched hands to change runners, Okumura started fanboying by saying Kuga’s hand was big. At one point, Okumura even said he wanted to “bathe in Kuga-senpai’s sweat.” HE LITERALLY SAID THAT AND I WAS LIKE OMFG. XD And Kuga was very freaked out. XD
• There was actually a buzzer when Ban-chan tried to relay to Fujiwara… I’m guessing they weren’t successful? So Okumura got ahead but Ban-chan managed to touch hands with Fujiwara afterwards.
  
• Ayumu and Ban-chan decided to sing a song to motivate Fujiwara. XD It was a bit weird… and Fujiwara seemed a bit put off with it and then Ayumu said he should do this for Hozumi! And Fujiwara got into it.
• Eventually, Okumura heard Team Ayumu singing and wanted to sing for Kuga, too, to motivate him. He started wondering what he should sing and what type of music Kuga liked. He went, “Classical? But it seems that he likes enka.” Kuga heard all of this and quickly said something before Okumura started singing. XDDD He said that Okumura didn’t need to do anything. Just his feelings were enough. And Okumura squealed at this. XDD God, I love fanboys. XD
• It was a really close match and they both reached the finish line at the same time. When they looked at the times, they found out that… Team Ayumu won!!

After they left the stage, you see Hanazawa and Ryohei at the center of the stage. Another mini-drama!

• They were both super cute!! They started off by going, “Ping pong (onomatopoeia for doorbells) in very cute voices. <333 AHHH Then Sakura said they had a announcement and that they should do the drumroll like Hozumi! Riku seemed a bit reluctant and Sakura just did the sound effect and Riku awkwardly joining. XDDD And they announced that Prince of Stride would be getting character songs!!! Just one good news after another huh? XD

Then they left the stage and next, the screen showed a picture of Reiji with the Yagami yakisoba bread. I think he mentioned that you should only eat up to 3. XD So we heard Mamo’s voice and they showed a video message by Mamohimself!

• He apologized that he couldn’t make it to the event. He was asked about a memorable moment in doing Prince of Stride. He talked about how he enjoyed talking with Hanazawa and also, there was a part where he had to sing live at the recording studio. Then he said, “Speaking of songs…” XD (In the afternoon session, Shimono had to do his infamous impromptu singing so I thought oh god… poor Shimono). “Speaking of songs… oh no, I’m not the one who will be singing but… you know, that person… who is famous for impromptu singing… and makes you cry(?)..” Then he paused… and suddenly said, “Tosshi!” He said his name a few times and hoped that we would enjoy the event until the end.  

I don’t remember when the seiyuu came on stage but I clearly remember seeing Tosshi on stage, looking absolutely flabbergasted. XDDDD He was like, “What!?” I’m pretty sure everyone was expecting him to say Shimono’s name (like in the afternoon session). Apparently Shimono went, “Yes! Hehe” at this. XD Tosshi looked really reluctant to do it but he decided to do it. He dragged Hanazawa to do it with him. XD And let’s just say… impromptu singing is really difficult because they both failed. XD At one point, Tosshi sang, “Machu Picchu is a world heritage site~” It was just so random. XDDD Then he let Hanazawa continue it but failed. XD

Anyway, they were all seated. Ryohei and Nobu led the session. At one point, they were talking about Okumura fanboying and how he made this incredible squeal. XD Ryohei asked OnoYuu to try to do it. When OnoYuu tried, he made this really creepy sound. XD Also, Tosshi accidentally called Kuga “Kuga-chan” instead of Kuga-senpai. He got teased for making this mistake. XDDD They were wondering how their relationship got to that point, from senpai to chan.

Next, Ryohei or Nobu said that there was this one song in the OST. They played the song, which is called “Trust.” It’s that one song that gives you many feels and goes, “You gotta show me… you make me feel okay.~” They usually played this during an emotional scene and apparently, it’s only played in five scenes throughout the anime! I could’ve sworn I heard it more times! They played the first two scenes during the afternoon session and for the night session, they would play the rest of the three scenes! Then they talk about the scene afterwards.

I think before each scene, Ryohei told us to say, 3, 2, 1 GO!

1. The scene where Ayumu injures himself in the match so he could relay to Hozumi. ;w; I think this scene is pretty self-explanatory. It’s seriously sad… and gives me so many feels. ;w; I think many of the seiyuu like this scene as well…
2. The successful relation between Hozumi and Kuga. I believe Suwabe said that he actually went to the station where that relation was done (he might have said this during the afternoon session).
3. Lastly, of course, the last episode with the relation between Riku and Fujiwara. <3

Next up, they would do a variety corner, which means they would play games and compete for a prize! They split into two teams. Team Ryohei and Team Nobu!

Team Ryohei – Matsuoka, OnoYuu, Suwabe, Shimono

Team Nobu – Hanazawa, Okiayu, Egu, Tosshi

First, they did Prince of Animation. For this corner, one of the seiyuu from the Prince of Stride cast made a ranking of the top 3 scenes they liked the best. Team Ryohei and Team Nobu will be given a list of 10 scenes and they each have to guess the top 3 scenes that that seiyuu has chosen. And they have to put it in the right order to get points. They will get 1 point for each one they get right. If they get all 3 in the correct order, that team will get 10 points. Since Ryohei and Nobu were leading the session, they would not participate so it’s up to the members in their teams. So the seiyuu this time is OnoD!

Each member had boards and these boxes of magnetic strips of the scenes. They only got like 10-20 seconds to think and then had to show their boards. Ryohei or Nobu gave out a hint that the scenes that OnoD chosen doesn’t necessarily have his character in it. XD

They actually started off with number 3, then number 2, and then number 1.

OnoD’s top 3 scenes 

1. The scene where Fujiwara yells (I believe he was running against Hachiya and was falling behind). OnoD chose this scene because Fujiwara is usually reserved and quiet but this is the first time he voiced out his frustration(?).
2. The scene where Ayumu injures himself in the match so he could relay to Hozumi. ;w;
   
3. The scene where Kuga and Heath are talking. Kuga said he would run home and then goes off running. Then Heath says, “Everyone is an idiot,” and he runs off as well. XDDD

• When one of the seiyuu gets it right, Ryohei puts a sticker on the one they got correct. Egu had gotten one correct, but Ryohei bullied him by not giving him a sticker and simply ignored him when he went in his direction. Egu whined like a kicked puppy (which I found surprisingly cute because usually he usually complains in a loud voice). Eventually he gave him one. XD Sadistic Ryohei…
• When Ryohei went to the left, Shimono had gotten one right and he simply gave him a sticker. I believe after seeing Egu’s treatment, Shimono told Ryohei, “I got one right! Praise me! Praise me!” God, Shimono was so cute. Then Ryohei pat him on the head and said, “Aww, you did a good job,” in this cute doting voice. AHHHHHH <3333
• Apparently Suwabe and Okiayu managed to choose all the right scenes, just not in the correct order.

Team Ryohei – 3 (thanks to Suwabe, Matsuoka, and Shimono)

Team Nobu – 2 (thanks to Egu and Hanazawa?)

Next, they did jump roping! Two staff members came on stage with a long jump rope. Apparently they have to jump rope in teams! And they had the audience count!

• First, Ryohei’s team took the challenge. They managed to do 11! Actually, one of Matsuoka’s shoes fell off while doing it. XDDD
• Next, it was Nobu’s team’s turn! I think they asked Hanazawa if she would be okay jumping since she was wearing sandals but she said she would be okay. They made Egu go in the middle since he’s so tall. And they did 21! It was seriously amazing. Egu had to bend quite a bit to jump. XDDD Nobu also had to hold onto his pants because it was slipping. XD I think a few other members had to do so as well. XD
• Then Shimono tried convincing Ryohei’s team to do it again. XD The rest of Ryohei’s team seemed reluctant because it’s seriously tiring. Suwabe was like, “I’m in my 40’s!” Then Nobu asked the audience what we wanted… and of course we asked them to do it again!!! XD
• So they reluctantly tried to do it again. Matsuoka got asked if he wanted to jump rope with or without his shoes. XD They tried to convince him to just do it without the shoes but he said he could do it. This time, they only did 7 and it was OnoYuu’s fault. XD He started laughing but the rest of the team said it wasn’t a laughing matter! XD I think they asked if they could do it again and they did. XDDD And this time, they got 28! Man, they all looked so tired. XD
• Nobu kneeled and requested to Ryohei’s team to give them a chance to do it again. I think Shimono said okay. They all looked pumped up and headed to the jump rope. And Egu dramatically threw his jersey down on the ground. But once they got in front of the rope, they bowed to Ryohei’s team and said they give up. XDDDDD And the main reason was because they were tired. XDDD And plus there would be one more activity coming up… which would be tiring as well.

And lastly… you can’t do a Prince of Stride event without a running quiz! XD Two treadmills appeared with a digital number counter attached to them. First, each team chooses a runner and they get on the treadmill. Then a question will be asked relating to Prince of Stride. The runners have to run to 50 meters, and the first to do so, their team has the chance to answer the question. If they answer correctly, they get one point. If they don’t, the other team’s runner has to run to 50 and then the other team has a chance to answer the question. Before the runners started, the audience counted, 3, 2, 1 GO! I don’t remember much of the questions in relation to the runners…but anyway…

• Shimono had a lot of energy and he was moving like Funasshi…so Team Ryohei chose him to do the running first. XD For Nobu’s team, Okiayu volunteered to do it. Shimono ran to 50 meters first.
• Then it wasOnoYuuvsNobu. And OnoYuu runs FAST. I didn’t think he could run that fast. XD He got to 50 in no time while Nobu looked like he would die. I think the question asked was… how many times does Kuga say, “The wind is coming”?, and he didn’t look sure and just said 2 times. It was wrong. So Nobu… already dead tired, ran up to 50 meters weirdly, looking like a zombie. Okiayu gave it a try and guessed 5 times, which was wrong. The actual answer was 6 times! The closest number to 6 would get the point this time so that means Nobu’s team got points! Suwabe asked, “Did I really say it that many times?” XDDD
• ThenMatsuokavsTosshi. They were worried about Matsuoka because of his pants. He was wearing one of those fashionable sagged pants. It looked like it would be hard to run in. And I think OnoYuu bent down and grabbed his crotch area of the pants (It’s sagged mid-thigh so it’s not as if he’s actually touching it but still). XDDD Poor Matsuoka getting violated like that. Matsuoka’s counter kept on going up before it started, too. XD Anway, Matsuoka easily won even though one of his shoes fell off. XDDDD I think Tosshi stopped early because he got a cramp?
• I think one of them asked the audience who we wanted to see on the treadmill. I yelled outRyohei. And then one of them went, Egu? I guess many fans yelled out Egu’s name. And told us to chant Egu’s name so we started chanting it. XDDDD When they got on the treadmill, Ryohei said he wouldn’t lose when it came to this kind of game. Egu looked tired and had a weird running pose and truthfully, I didn’t have high hopes for him because he was really slow during the afternoon session. XD But it was actually a very intense… close battle!! XD It was 49-50 meters, Egu’s win!! AHHHHH
• I think the final battle was betweenSuwabeandHanazawa. Suwabe who is 44… and they were worried that Hanazawa wouldn’t be okay because she was wearing sandals. She said she would be okay. Suwabe said he would give a handicap and run with one leg! And he actually won… I was SO IMPRESSED to see a 44 year old man running with one foot like that. It looked like he was hopping… It must have been tiring. XD The question was actually a bit difficult because they got asked, “Which side of Himemiya’s hair is black?” Ryohei’s team said it was up to Shimono to decide. Shimono asked if they were talking about Himemiya’s point of view or audience’s point of view. He was told to answer with the audience’s point of view. Shimono was very indecisive and Suwabe just answered left and it was correct! XD
• So the end result was…. Ryohei Team – 44 / Nobu Team – 22
• Yes, Ryohei’s team won… by double! XD (They lost during the afternoon session). And for the grand prize… they won tickets to “Smile Land” aka Disneyland! XD One of them said, this meant that all of them can go to Smile Land together!! I think Shimono got a bit too excited and asked when they should go together. XD
  

After that, they left the stage and the screen started showing something.

• They promoted the upcoming Prince of Stride stageplay that would happen in Tokyo and Osaka. They showed Riku, Sakura, and Fujiwara. After that, they showed nice pictures of the Saisen members and announced that the Saisen members would have their own drama CDs!!! And furthermore, there will be a drama CD of the prologue of the Yagami brothers!!

ThenOxT came out wearing the Honan jerseys!! OxT is really amusing. XD They really know how to make the talk interesting. I heard that Oishi Masayoshi has experience with comedy? XD Well, he was doing the talking mostly. He said that they came JUST for this ONE song. xDDD Anyway, they had some requests.

• First, they wanted us to stand up. Then he explained how whenever fans say, “Stride!”, it sounds like “Soi”, so we might as well just say, “Soi!” And when we say “Soi!”, he wants us to jump and/or wave our penlights up. Not only with the “Soi” part, he said to just watch his hand movement. Whenever he raises it up, we should just jump and/or wave our penlights. Second, he said that we should have fun. Then whenever he says the words, “Maihama” or “amphitheater”, we should go, “Woo!” Lastly, they wanted us to do fanchants, basically sing some parts. He sang one part of the first verse, and most of the fans were able to sing after because of the opening. But then he sung the second verse and many fans didn’t know how it went. Oishi was like, “If you didn’t buy the single, you won’t know how the next part goes.” But he said, we can just hum it if we didn’t know the part. XDDD
• Then they sang it!! There were many blue and red penlights all around! :3 It was really fun! They were so cool, too!!!

After they finished, Ryohei and Nobu came out. Ryohei came out with his jersey tied around his waist. <333 They thanked OxT for coming just to sing this one song. XD Then Be My Steady played in the background and all the other seiyuu came out.

They lined up in the same order as the introduction. Oishi was at the end of the left side and Tom H@ck (guitarist) was on the right side. This time, for the concluding thoughts, they started from the sides first, from right to left. My mind blanks out on what they said but…

• Hanazawa said she was tired. And apparently she had always wanted to wear the jersey. She noticed that many fans wore it, too!
• Shimono said he wanted to drag the real Hozumi aka Kensho next time if theres an event, not just the can badge. <333 And he suddenly put his glasses on the ground for some reason. XD
• OnoYuu said he was “protected” by his brother and took out Shizuma’s acrylic charm from his pocket. OMG dawwww.
• I think Egu and a few others mentioned how it would be nice if all of them could get together (all of Saisen, etc) next time if there’s an event.
• Again,Matsuoka mentioned how he did his best voicing two characters. XD It must have been an interesting experience. XD
• Ryoheiwas the last one to say his comment and he said that the staff worked hard to plan out this event. <333

Then they all said thank you and began to leave the stage. ;w; Ryohei and Nobu high fived each other! AHHHH I think Shimono left weirdly. XD And Ryohei, one of the last ones to disappear from our sights, bowed once more and left. ;____;

And then we heard Sakura. >__< At the end, she told everyone to gather! And everyone said, “For always supporting us… thank you very much!!!” AAAAHHH ;W; Too many feels… On the screen, there was a picture of the PoS characters in chibi form surrounding the words, “Many thanks to you!” (in English).

My thoughts:

• Suwabe – Really cool as always!!!
• Okiayu – I think he’s really handsome in person! xD I feel that he’ reliable.
• Hanazawa – SHE’S SO CUTE!!!! <3
• Matsuoka – Awkward but really cute!! I was really impressed when he voiced two characters!!
• Egu – For the first time, I thought he sounded cute when he whined. XDDD And his character is really cute, too! I usually find him interesting or dorky… but not necessarily cute. XD But overall a dork. XD
• OnoYuu – Not only is he good at yo-yo… he can run fast!! He has a really nice smile, too!
• Tosshi – THIS FREAKING ADORABLE KUGA SENPAI FANBOY. AHHHH I think I grew to like Okumura… he’s seriously a cutie.
• Nobu – Oh Nobu… XD Cute.
• Shimono – SUPER ADORABLEEEE. AHHHH. When I see him in videos, I think he’s always gets bullied by others and interesting… but he was super cute in real life. In the afternoon session, he was the closest seiyuu to me and AHHHH. <3 He was waving to the fans as well. And bravo to his impromptu singing. xD
• Ryohei – What can I say? XD MY BIAS <33333 Super adorableee. XD I never fail to see him bully Egu every time.

• A special thanks to Jessa for coming with me to the event!! <3 I had lots of fun!

Thank you for reading this loooong fanreport of incoherency. XD Look forward to the CDs and DVD!! I REALLY RECOMMEND it. :3　Now, I have the urge to rewatch Prince of Stride…. anyway, until next time!

I attended both the afternoon and night session of the event on 6/19! So fanreport later!

1. The event is set to be on DVD!!!
2. There will be character songs!!!
3. Stage play in autumn in Osaka and Tokyo.
4. Drama CDs for Saisei characters!
5. Drama CD for the epilogue of the Yagami brothers!!!

I think there was one more thing but I forgot…

But omggg I can’t wait for the event DVD to come out and to hear the character songs!!!

Regular zines & mega bundles are sold out! Once the last two bundles go, all senpai zine merch will officially be gone! 

BUT there are still discounted misprint cover copies available! The interior is the exact same as the regular zine; the only difference is that the covers came out too dark. 50 pages of content for only $12! Remember, no reprints. Don’t miss it!

Originally a drabble challenge on Quizilla called “139 prompts”, 139 Dreams is a set of fics I started a long time ago. It features many different anime, kpop, and various other things that interest me. Because I have been working on this set for so many years, it’s very dear to my heart and I hope to finish it one day soon.

/ Sports Anime Menu

I am not biased toward sports anime.

I am not -

✰ Prince of Tennis - 5
✰ Kuroko no Basket - 3
✰ Haikyuu - 6
✰ Oofuri - 2

Damn it.

I am so biased toward sports anime (；一_一)

I’m kind of shook that I did more Haikyuu than I did Prince of Tennis but I’m gonna just blame it on how I’m currently watching Haikyuu so of course I’m more obsessed at the moment! Plus, there’s plenty of time to switch the characters around so let’s see if these numbers change ヾ(⌐■_■)ノ♪

━━━━━━༻__༺━━━━━━

 After Completing the Set:

✰Top three anime I used:

1. Haikyuu!! (9/30)
2. The Prince of Tennis (4/30)
3. Ookiku Furikabutte (3/30)

✰Top three sports quotes used:

1. Haikyuu!! (15/30)
2. Kuroko no Basket & The Prince of Tennis (each 4/30)
3. Eyeshield 21 (3/30)

Yup, totally not biased at all  (⌐■_■)ノ♪
