LIVE

I personally think that I’m a voice actor because of my characters, not because of any merit I bring from being me. That’s why I always think it’s very hard to talk as just “Nogami Sho,” the person.

Continuing off the first half, this is the second half of Nogami Sho’s feature in KIKI VOICE’s series focusing on up-and-coming voice actors, NEW COLOR VOICE! The full article comes with a mini-photoshoot you can view here, under KIKI VOICE’s monthly paid subscription.

our feelings will go anywhere, no matter how far away / as long as we [both] think “i want to meet you.”

Kashicomi is Chiba Shouya and Nogami Sho’s unit for their radio show Shoufuku Shourai! This single was released early for their first anniversary event, but please support their single when it goes on regular sale! Also listen to the previews here.ブッラクアウト killed me jsyk

I’d thought that I’d only been doing mistakes the entire three years I was in Yugioh, but it seems I wasn’t all wrong in everything, and I think it’s good that I did my best. The reason why I live right now is because I’ve been helped by lots of people.

追憶レター (Recollection Letter)

Enoki Junya (E) and Yashiro Taku (Y)

E: We definitely can’t get any closer than this
You’re right by my side, but your words are far away
Y: These feelings I can’t ever say,
It feels like they’ll vanish soon.

E: This time,
Y: I’ll write it all down,
E: And leave it in
Y: A letter
Both: If I leave it all behind, will I finally be at ease?

Your serene profile reminds me a bit of the shadows,
And the pain of the past I’ve hidden between the lines
To whoever’s in the future, so it won’t vanish away in memories:
I send your kind, laughing silhouette
E:My heart aches,
Y: But, beautifully,
Both: I shall waver

I still…

Hatanaka Tasuku (H) and Lounsbery Arthur (L)

(Whoa…)

H: You always tell me too much stuff,
Just for my embarrassed reactions, yeah…
L:In (a day) packed to the minute, I keep remembering you
I’ll stop tapping out letters with my fingertips,
Both:Turn off the screen…

H: You definitely don’t know, and you’ll never answer back,
Both: But nevertheless, inside my head –
Ah, but no, you won’t, not like this,
I’ll answer my own questions all over again;
I’ll be wound up.(?)
It isn’t even that deep,
L: It’s just one word
Both: But it always drives me crazy.

月の下で電話して (I’ll call you under the moon)

Kousaka Atsushi (K) and Nogami Sho (N)

K: We take the same train station, but go opposite directions.
N:As we go our opposite ways home, we wave at each other and smile.
K:The full moon I see out the train window, I wonder if you can see it too?
N: I’ll call you on my way home, thinking we haven’t talked enough.

Both:Ah, this phone call across the night sky connects us,
Even though the two of us are far away.
Ah, there’s nothing I really want to talk about,
This is enough for me, I just want to hear your voice.
(Whoa whoa,)
K: No matter when,
(Whoa whoa…)
(Whoa whoa,)
N: No matter where.
(Whoa whoa…)

statice

Masuyama Takeaki (M) and Chiba Shouya (C )

M:You don’t have to worry about those things,
So forget about it right now.
C:Watching you from behind, as you walk, I see you trip over the past we can’t turn back upon.
M: It won’t sway me,
C:I want you to believe me.
Both: I want to hold you close, so much that it hurts.

Passionate memories flow through my heart (flow through my heart)
Can you feel it? Our feelings are the same.
C: Let’s double our happiness,
M: And halve each other’s pain;
Both: Our future will definitely be sparkling.

All lyrics are completely by-ear so I’ll go over the full versions when I get the CD!! My only notes for now: arthur and tasuku’s second english line actually sounds more like “i’ll be welled up” (???) to me, and the flower meaning of statice (“sea lavender”) is “remembrance” :“)))))

@tasukubar0817: My humblest apologies for my selfish behaviour. I have many grateful emotions for all my fans. Thank you very much.
Also, information about my projects will now be on Hatanaka Tasuku’s official Twitter. Or they would be announced on KenPro’s official Twitter. I shall be in your care.
@tasuku_kenpro
@kenpro_official

As for the letter he screencaps here:

I was really conflicted about this, but I’ve decided.
Sorry for this all of a sudden, but from today on, Hatanaka Tasuku will be taking a break from Twitter. Honestly, I am very cowardly.

I mind the number of my followers, I mind the number of my retweets, I even do egosa (searching up his own name on Twitter), I remember having fun minding those things, and for me who has no confidence in myself, it has been a source of encouragement for me.

But if I keep constantly looking at my phone, I definitely might neglect the things I should be valuing -
I shouldn’t mind how other people think of me, but rather, notice how wide the world spreading in front of me is when I shut my phone off; so I think, won’t accepting various forms of stimuli touch my heart more?
For the sake of unbinding myself to the various things tying me down, I will do this one thing.

I’ve been able to be connected with fans like this for roughly two years now. It had truly been an irreplaceable time. For encouraging me in tough times, for sometimes sharing various emotions with me, thank you for being there with me. I really, really, feel nothing but gratitude.

I will never forget the things we’ve shared, these various emotions.

So I can properly do my work as an actor, I think I will straightforwardly concentrate on it. Of course, this is the same for my songs and performances, too.

Lastly, thank you for reading up until this point. When I start using Twitter again someday, let’s meet again!! Thank you very much!

I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say this might be what he was agonizing about recently. But SNS detoxes are good for the soul so I wish him all the luck!!!


Update: I’m about to cry IT’S HIS MOM (actress Fukushima Keiko)

@keikoro1217: You’ve been worried, and worried, and worried about this, so you decided to do something about it. And I cheer you on this decision.

Whenever he’d come back home, Tasuku would always bring the letters he gets from his fans home, and would always be reading them.
I will be cheering him on as any fan would, to the point where I may get annoying.
From here on out, Tasuku shall be in your care.

Igarashi Takumi’s photoshoot for numan’s  沼落ち5秒前!インタビュー/声優編

Igarashi (nicknamed Iga-chan) is one of the members of seiyuu unit Claw Knights!


So what led to you entering this world?

When I was watching the anime my friend recommended me back in middle school, I was so deeply moved that I thought I wanted to become a seiyuu.

Please tell us the actors (seiyuu) you respect, and the reasons why you respect them.

Morishima Shuuta-san. He kindly taught the newbie me who didn’t know his left from his right, is kinder than anyone else, and takes his plays very seriously; he’s the kind of person one can respect on a personal level.

Who are the actors (seiyuus) you get along with well?

Morishima Shuuta-san, Amano Naru-kun, and Iwanaga Kennosuke-kun. As we work together as the seiyuu unit Claw Knights, which our characters from the game CARAVAN STORIES are part of, we go out to eat together and go on trips together, and even on our days off we end up hanging out a lot. 

Who are the seiyuu/actors who you want to have as a friend?

The actor Suda Masaki-san. I really like his work, and as a person he’s really charming, so I’d like to be his friend.

If you were to sum yourself up in one phrase it would be?

Cheerful. Or maybe a “reason freak”.

Your sales point (charm point) is?

The mole above my eye.

What is your hobby/talent?

Playing the guitar, doing handstands.

What do you usually do on your days off?

Hanging out with my friends. We play video games or go strolling or do karaoke!

What did you eat yesterday?

Curry rice. It was the curry I made the other day and I reheated it!

The thing you want the most right now is?

A fully automatic washing machine. Drying clothes is very hard, so I want one! I think I’ll come to love doing the laundry if I ever get it (lol)

Of all the things you’ve ever gotten up to now, what made you the happiest?

Letters. They make me very happy. And I think I’ll treasure each one I get from here on out.

Have you been working on anything lately?

Plays, and making my body more flexible. 

Your favorite karaoke party trick is?

SMAP’s “Orange”

How do you avoid stress?

By playing games or going to karaoke.

Please show us your favorite picture in your camera roll, or a picture you took recently.

A picture of sushi from when us Claw Knights members went to Osaka. It was really delicious, we had loads of fun, so it’s the picture I have my eyes on!

Please tell us your hangups (whether regarding plays or not)

I never throw out the bubble wrap my stuff comes in. I keep thinking I can play with it or use it again somehow (lol)

What have you sunken into (what is your obsession lately)?

Body building. I’d like to have a body which can accomodate to any situation.

Up to now, what’s the thing you’ve worked the hardest on?

I guess it was the time I ran all summer when I was in middle school? I was in the baseball club, so I ran a lot.

Up to now, what are you most useless at?

I’ve been run over by a car twice. I want to tell me from my childhood not to play games while crossing the street (lol)

Please tell us your favorite phrase, or verbal tic.

Recently I’ve been saying “For example…” a lot. It’s been a habit of mine to compare things to other things when I’m talking, but…it’s just so I can compare things to things I can easily understand…

The translation of the interview connected to these pictures can be found under the cut!


So what led to you entering this world?

During my summer break in 2nd year middle school, I’d noticed that other people’s names were lined up beside the characters’ names in the ending credits, and while I had always known that the reality behind that was that “these are the people whose voices appeared in this show,” it was then that I saw them in a new light. At that time I had to quit my club activities due to my injuries, and was worried about having a future without anything to work towards, so I was very happy and surprised when I found out about voice acting as a profession.

Please tell us the actors (seiyuu) you respect, and the reasons why you respect them.

Seiyuu:

Yamaguchi Kappei - I’d just become a regular cast member for a year (with him), but just by being there he’d make his surroundings become lively, his presence is really like the sun. He was very approachable even though we were newbies, and I’d always look forward to every time I’d get to see him at work.

Shimono Hiro - I met Shimono-san in the same show I got to costar with Kappei-san in. He’s a guy who thinks about his kouhai a lot, and he advised me in many things, from work to private matters. Up to now we still exchange emails sometimes and get along well. Of course he’s my esteemed senpai but he’s the kind of guy I’d wanna call “aniki” instead of “senpai”…

Fujiwara Takahiro - Ever since my debut, he would take me out to eat during the times when I barely had enough money for transportation expenses, and he’d given me advice after I got reprimanded very bad at work…he’d always been looking out for me, and now I’ve been thinking that “this is the kind of senpai I want to become.” Just like Shimono-san, he’s the kind of guy I wanna call “aniki”.

Enoki Junya - He debuted the same year as me, but from how nonchalant he is when he’s at work, to how he does adlibs during dubbing…no matter where he goes I always see his face in a refreshing smile, but he’s actually a guy who’s passionate about his work and I think there are a lot of things he has that I don’t have, myself…I’ll never tell him this to his face, though (lol) And I’m simply just a fan of his Spiderman.

Actors:

TEAM-NACS (Morisaki Hiroyuki, Yasuda Ken, Ooizumi You, Totsugi Shigeyuki, Otoo Takuma) - TEAM-NACS, who met in their theatre research club in college, and up to now are still actively participating in plays as well as various other genres. Their variety shows and stage work saved me from the homesickness and other troubles I went through after first moving to Tokyo. If I could become the catalyst for someone else through my characters, just like NACS had been for me during those times, I would be happy.

Who are the actors (seiyuus) you get along with well?

Kumagai Kentarou-san and Takeuchi Shunsuke-san

Who are the seiyuu/actors who you want to have as a friend?

Ooizumi You-san. He’s been involved in a lot of projects as a seiyuu so I’d be happy if I get to record from the microphone beside his someday.

What is your hobby/talent?

Shopping

What do you usually do on your days off?

I go strolling, which is okay even when I don’t have much time. Or I’d go gossip about recent events with my favorite clothes shop’s staff, while drinking coffee.

What did you eat yesterday?

Curry rice

The thing you want the most right now is?

Self-confidence

Of all the things you’ve ever gotten up to now, what made you the happiest?

The wallet my father bought me at around the time of my debut. I still use it now.

Your favorite karaoke party trick is?

Kimi no machi made (To your town) by ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION

Please tell us your hangups (whether regarding plays or not)

The character’s feelings are important. Never forget that.

What have you sunken into (what is your obsession lately)?

Clothes…probably, right? In the beginning I’d scared myself into being aware about it by saying “If I don’t present myself properly I’ll never become a seiyuu!”, but as time passed, bit by bit, I begun to just like it.

Up to now, what’s the thing you’ve worked the hardest on?

The hardest…I can’t decide on one, but I think it would be my audition for the agency I’m attached to, where everything started.

Up to now, what are you most useless at?

Normally there are very few things I am not useless at, so I can’t think of what should come first; but I have an extremely horrible sense of direction, and recently it took me 40 minutes to go to a studio that’s 10 minutes on foot away from the station, and in the end my manager still had to meet me halfway…I’m always very sorry.

Come on a my cafe

Ghost (CV. Hatanaka Tasuku), Skeleton (CV. Yashiro Taku), Mummy (CV. Enoki Junya), Frankenstein’s Monster (CV. Lounsbery Arthur)

All: Welcome, customer!
(Oh yeah!)

Hatanaka: When lunch was about to end,
Enoki: An unfamiliar lady came in
Lounsbery: We whisper amongst each other, exchange glances -
Yashiro: Have your menu, and a blanket

Hatanaka/Lounsbery: So the coat you were using as an umbrella fluttered and flew away
Yashiro/Enoki: And right before our eyes, your water glass drops down on you

All: Come on at my cafe more, I want to make you smile
And make you forget the bad things in daily life
It’s okay to be selfish right now,
Anything you wish for, I’ll make it come true somehow.

Lounsbery: You watch curiously, marveling at the
Enoki: Poisonous mushrooms standing on top of your pasta.
Hatanaka: Looks fresh, isn’t it? That’s today’s recommended – WHOOPS!!
Yashiro: A waiter’s bone gets added in.

Hatanaka/Yashiro: The apprentice’s fingers are transparent and he can’t pick up the bone,
Enoki/Lounsbery: The chef covered in bandages is smiling, the one covered in scars stands quietly

All: Come on at my heart, I faithfully promise
That I’ll definitely take care of you
I have faith in my service, this place is rated 3 stars
My heart overflows when I see such happy smiles

Hatanaka: You seem nervous, looking around so much,
Lounsbery: Hey, what’s the matter?
Yashiro: Approaching you slowly, looking at you intensely,
Enoki: I wonder if your stomach’s already full?

Yashiro: I’m glad I got to meet you,
I want to serve you more, though

All: As an apology for messing around,
We’ll make you a cake next time, ok?

Come on at my cafe more, I want to make you smile
I made you forget the bad things in daily life, didn’t I?
You say “I’ll come again,” and smile,
I wave goodbye until your figure disappears - let’s meet again!


MYSTIC SECRET

Grim Reaper/Death (CV. Nogami Sho), Wizard (CV. Kousaka Atsushi), Werewolf (CV. Masuyama Takeaki), Vampire (CV. Chiba Shouya)

Chiba: To the midnight feast,
Masuyama: I welcome you, my lady.
Nogami: Where might you be going?
Kousaka: There’s nothing to be afraid of.

Nogami/Kousaka: The screams of the dead are BGM
As the spirits play “trick or treat”
Masuyama/Chiba: If you’re lost, we’ll give you snacks
As the tables sway suspiciously

All: Mystic secret, come, come, hurry up
You’ll get bewitched if you won’t eat up, don'tcha know?
What kind of intentions lie within these deep red lips?
The curiosity in your eyes is brighter than fear.

Masuyama: Curses or poisons or magic,
Nogami: There’s none of that in there.
Kousaka: Doesn’t it look delicious? Won’t you have a taste,
Chiba: And put it in your mouth?

Masuyama/Chiba: The moment you gulp it all down, your entire body
Screams out “trick or treat”.
Nogami/Kousaka: It’s better if you don’t know,
Because once you open the door of secrets, you can never go back.

All: Mystic secret, hurry up if you want it,
The secret behind your return gift
What kind of emotions lie in front of those trembling eyelashes?
The moon peeks down on us, from between the clouds coiling around it

Chiba: Won’t you give me some of your secrets?
Masuyama: One, two, or three would suffice
Nogami: Won’t you give me some of your troubles?
Kousaka: Every last one of them–

All: Mystic secret, let’s talk it out, and I’ll solve it for you
So give thanks for this solving magic

Mystic secret, come, come, hurry up,
In that moment before your tears fell,
What kind of intentions lay within those deep red lips?
There’s no need to worry tonight, just sleep deeply,
Fall asleep, good night.

???: “Good night.”

  • duet -  ダブルスターライト  (Double Starlight)

Come now, we’ll guide you
So smile, believe in the string of possibilities, and face tomorrow.

  • Nogami Sho - Make up lip

This is just a coincidence, but it’s already fate
Everything about you has become something I want to know

  • Yashiro Taku - Two Steps

Even if you hear me asking “Where shall we go today?”
I already know, like I know everything else about you.


This took so so long I’M SORRY BUT FFS THAT RAP Full translated lyrics for all songs under the cut!


duet -  ダブルスターライト  (Double Starlight)

As we aim to be the brightest star
(Go up to the stage!)
We go journey up to the very end
(It just started now)
My heart is burning

The unfolding future
(No, nobody knows)
Is uncharted, new history
(Singing like a star)
It’s time for everything to change 

We want to show you the greatest passion
Sometimes, it just comes from love and dreams

Step into love, we can’t let go (Yay!) of our bonds with you (Say!)
That’s right, we’ll show you (Hey!) the two sparkling starlights(Yes!)
Until the very end
(Raise up the starlight, light that never dies)
Of the world
(Double starlight emerging from the darkest night)
We want to convey these feelings in two-part duet

Come now, we’ll guide you
(Going my own way!)
So smile, (We are walking on)
Believe in the thread of possibilities, and face tomorrow

There are dreams we want to come true,
(Catch a dream and love)
So there are also times when
(Sometimes we must fight)
We clash and collide

If we’ve always wanted the greatest experience,
Then putting this in song is better than words,
Let’s use courage and hope.

Get back true minds, we won’t get lost in
Small (Yay!) things like pride (Say!)
Break the cycle, we are starlights(Yay!)
Shouting until our voices go hoarse (Yay!)
If you gather
(Starlight scattering like fireworks)
Our heartbeats
(Double starlight colliding with passion)
Time shall tick away in lightyears

The wish we’re aiming for
Is what links our sky to you.

Step into love, we can’t let go (Yay!) of our bonds with you (Say!)
That’s right, we’ll show you (Hey!) the two sparkling starlights(Yes!)

Get back true minds, we won’t get lost in
Small (Yay!) things like pride (Say!)
Break the cycle, we are starlights(Yay!)
Shouting until our voices go hoarse (Yay!)
Until the very end
(Raise up the starlight, light that never dies)
Of the world
(Double starlight emerging from the darkest night)
We want to convey these feelings to you.


Nogami Sho - Make up lip 

How long has this been going on?
Oh, please, please tell me
Because I just want to know you better,
I get you, I get you, that’s all there is to it

You’re scared to say how you really feel,
So if you want to feel like you’re someone else, then,

Here’s a secret palette, it’s magic!
I’m not lying, this is for real!
For the sake of your honest smile,
I’ll always be by your side.

Put some makeup on your lips,
Take a look, it really suits you
You’re tinted in pink, so cuz of this, [go on,]
Yes, just the way you are.

We’re together everyday,
So if there’s anything bothering you, please tell me
And when you’re crying,
I’ll cheer you right up.

This is just a coincidence, but it’s already fate
Everything about you has become something I want to know

Here’s a secret palette, fantastic
This is just for you, soul lipstick
So that you’d be able to say your honest words,
I’ll always be by your side.

Take over the world,
If you run away it’s game over
I’ll softly make those lips of yours pink
And always be by your side.

Don’t be afraid,
Don’t pretend [to be anyone else],
Adorning yourself and playing a part are two different things,
Whoa…

Here’s a secret palette, it’s magic!
I’m not lying, this is for real!
No matter where, I’ll be by your side,
For the sake of your smile.

Put some makeup on your lips
Take a look, it really suits you
(“You look good.”)
You’re tinted in pink, so cuz of this, [go on,]
Yes, just the way you are


Yashiro Taku - Two Steps

Even if you hear me asking “Where shall we go today?”
I already know, like I know everything else about you.

Through this path with the wind blowing,
If we walk at the same pace, our gazes will intertwine.

The clear colors of the world
Started changing because of you
I wonder what my eyes looked like when I noticed it?
I just noticed when I looked down [at you]

(You and me,)
With your voice, the way you act towards me right now,
(Going now, the two of us talking,)
Let’s chat more, so we can get to know each other better, shall we?

I want you to tell me about anything,
So let’s go somewhere a bit further today.

If you’re happy, then these sceneries
Will always become good memories

We are the many-colored pieces on the path we chose to go on.
The lights of the world have gathered here to dance.

(Shining heart)
As we innocently laugh together
(I’m feeling, as I talk with you,)
Let me stay next to you forever.

That’s right, let’s go make a miraculous time
[What you were saying] just now, can you let me hear it?
Because it’s all precious [to me].

The clear colors of the world
Changed to make way for a bright future
My heart can’t stop beating
I just noticed this while I was looking at you

(You and me,)
With my voice and the smile on my face right now,
(Going now, the two of us talking,)
Let’s chat more;
If you wanna get to know each other better, let me know

(I want to chat)
(I’m feeling I want to know you more and more,)
(I’m feeling, let’s go walk together, ah)



  • my translation index
  • haha finally finally FINALLY
  • i had this done but it was sitting in my drafts for THE LONGEST TIME because of those GODDAMNED RAP LINES IN THE CHORUS
  • i was also second guessing myself for the longest time now re: takuchan solo but anyway here it is PLS TAKE IT AWAY FROM ME I BEG
  • the con of online music shopping is that the tracks do not come with the lyrics
  • (thanks mitsu-nee for confirming what those rap lines were in the lyric sheet!!!)
  • note on double starlight: yes, there were part divisions. no, i am not indicating them. the way the lines are split up, part-dividing this in english makes no sense, ESPECIALLY when they have random english bits sprinkled in (the ones i left in italic) so, yeah. sorry boys, i tried

Come on a my cafe by Ghost (Hatanaka Tasuku), Skeleton (Yashiro Taku), Mummy Man (Enoki Junya) and Frankenstein’s Monster (Lounsbery Arthur)

Welcome, customer!
(Oh yeah!)

Hatanaka: Moments before lunchtime’s about to end,
Enoki: An unfamiliar lady comes in
Lounsbery: We murmur to each other and exchange glances
Yashiro: Here, have the menu, and a blanket

So the umbrella you were using fluttered and flew away
And the water glass in front of you clattered down?

Come on at (yeah!) my cafe more,
I want to give you smiles
And make you forget (whoo!) the bad things everyday
I’ve give you this, (yeah!) today (say!) it’s okay to be selfish

No matter what you wish for, I’ll make it come true

MYSTIC SECRET by Death (Nogami Sho), Wizard (Kousaka Atsushi), Werewolf (Masuyama Takeaki) and Vampire (Chiba Shouya)

Masuyama: *werewolf howl*

Chiba: To the midnight feast,
Masuyama: I welcome you, my lady.
Nogami: Where might you be going?
Kousaka: There’s nothing to be afraid of.

The screams of the dead are BGM
Echoing “trick or treat”
If you’re lost, we’ll give you snacks
While the tables sway suspiciously

Mystic secret, come, come, hurry up
If you won’t eat, you’ll be bewitched
What kind of intentions lie within these deep red lips?
The curiosity in your eyes is brighter than fear.

SK8 Love Masquerade Seiyuu Event – 07/04/2021 Afternoon

Seiyuu Cast:

  • Hatanaka Tasuku - Reki
  • Kobayashi Chiaki - Langa
  • Nagatsuka Takuma - Miya
  • Miyake Kenta - Shadow
  • Midorikawa Hikaru - Cherry
  • Matsumoto Yasunori - Joe
  • Koyasu Takehito (VTR) - Adam
  • Ono Kensho (VTR) - Tadashi
image

Report under the cut!

■ INTRODUCTION

  • Reki and Langa did the intro (voice over only), where they issued guidelines before the start of the event like not being allowed to eat in the venue (which saddened Langa), and having to turn off their phones (Reki took care of turning off his phone and Langa’s). Langa also had a hard time reading some kanji in the guidelines and Reki helped him.
  • The event of course starts with Adam, appearing in a VTR welcoming everyone to the masquerade. He calls “Langa-kun and the others” to enter the stage. Throughout the event, Adam appears through the VTR as the host of the masquerade.
  • The seiyuus appeared with masks on (but eventually took them off when they spoke).

■ “OUR INFINITE TALK” CORNER

A “video message” from Koyasu appears as an introduction, though the only thing shown on the video is his mask on top of a table.

Question #1: Since Sk8 is an original anime, you did the acting without knowing how the story would go later on. What development particularly surprised you?

● Koyasu: I didn’t expect that Adam would be THIS amazing as a character. I really loved Adam. (VTR shows Adam in the last ep in his funeral outfit and skateboard)
● Nagatsuka: That Langa is TOO good. I thought it would be a story about Reki and Langa moving up the ladder together, but Reki was eventually left out.
● Hatanaka: I was surprised about what happened to Hiromi getting beaten up later on.
Kobayashi: I was surprised that he would end up getting along with everyone, like he’s gotten the Mom role now.
Midorikawa: He’s indeed gotten cuter towards the end.
Matsumoto: We were talking in the backstage earlier how there would be a spin-off where the Manager falls in love with Shadow (not Hiromi).
Hatanaka: But the Manager was shown with someone else in the last ep
Miyake: I’m sure that’s just one of their relatives!
● Kensho (appearing through a VTR where he’s in his Tadashi outfit): Didn’t expect that Adam and Kikuchi grew up and have lived together since they were little, and that Kikuchi is actually older than Adam. I never thought that I’d ever get to play a role who’s older than Koyasu’s (Note: irl Koyasu is 54, Kensho is 31 yrs old)

Question #2: What about SK8 shocked you the most?

● Matsumoto: I thought SK8 would be more about sports, but it turned out to be really crazy! I honestly thought like, “What the hell is the director thinking?”
● Nagatsuka: I was surprised that even getting off the skateboard is counted. Well, there’s Joe who rode using his hands, which in a way is still considered riding, but Adam got off and even hit someone with a skateboard.
● Hatanaka: And even when someone gets hit the people around were just calm about it like it’s something normal
● Midorikawa: But hitting others is bad! That’d hurt A LOT! Moreover, at first I was thinking that the exhibition moves like Love Hug is impossible irl, but Cherry sometimes would give explanations so that’s interesting and made me think that it might actually be possible.
● Matsumoto: But Joe’s style is really unbelievable! I tried it at home (“Rocket style” but with no skateboard) but it was impossible!
● Director Utsumi (answer is shown on-screen): When I received the first draft written by scriptwriter Ookouchi, I was surprised that Kikuchi answers Adam with “Wan!” in the last ep. (Note: Wan! is a dog sound in Jpn) In the end it was replaced with “Hai! (Yes)”.

*The seiyuu cast then rewatched the scene in the event.

Cast: Now the only thing we can hear is Kikuchi saying, “Wan!”

Question #3: If you can have Carla for a day, what would you ask her to do?

● Hatanaka: I want her to tell me to “Calm down, Hatanaka-san” whenever I get nervous. I want her to get mad or control me. (The cast laughs at his wordings because of the possible implied meanings)
● Kobayashi: I want Carla to guide me because I get lost easily.
Matsumoto: Just use your phone!
Midorikawa: That doesn’t have to be Carla, you know.
● Midorikawa: I want Carla to guide me during recordings, saying things like, “Your next line is coming in 3, 2, 1…” or “For the next line, you should put more emotions”.

Question#4: Which character unexpectedly got more/less screen time?

● Kobayashi: The glasses girl voiced by Hayami Saori. She appears in a few episodes and I thought she would have an important role to play later on, but nothing happened.
● Nagatsuka: I was curious to know more about Harry.
● Hatanaka: I was thinking that Reki actually didn’t skate that much throughout the anime.
● Matsumoto: Midorikawa and I were thinking that Reki doesn’t seem much like a protagonist.

■ LIVE VOICE ACTING CORNER

  • Adam asks the seiyuus to reenact the scenes again,
  • Reenacted eps:
  • #2: Joe-Cherry bickering scene, Langa going to Reki’s garage scene
  •  #6: Skating scene when they arrived in Okinawa, Reki-Langa “I will protect you” scene, “Papa” Joe scene
  • #8 Shadow vs Snake scene
  • #7 Reki-Langa “breakup” scene
  • #10 Reki-Miya Hospital scene, Reki-Langa reconciliation scene
  • Hatanaka and Kobayashi did the Infinity bump (with proper social distancing)
  • The Palm trees aka ED was played/shown at the end of the corner
  • Reki and Langa were having a talk after. Langa said that he also wanted to hear Adam’s scenes again. Reki then said that he also wanted to hear the “Love hotel guy” too.
Langa: Ah, Reki you never gave any explanation about the love hotel incident.
Reki: Okay! Let’s just go and impersonate Adam!
Langa: You’re dodging the question.
Reki (imitates Adam’s voice): Langa-kun! Love Hug!
Langa: No Reki, it’s “Love hug” (English accent)
Reki: That’s not the point!
Langa: Okay, I’ll go next (in impersonating Adam). Reki-kun! You’re lovelyyyy!!
Reki: That’s wrong! He’s not gonna say that!

■ LIVE PERFORMANCE CORNER

ASH DA HERO and Yuusuke perform the insert songs.

■ Announcements like Blu-ray and Goods promotion

  • Host Club SK8 - Original Drama CD coming out
  • Behind the Mask - Adam version coming out
  • In the goods corner, Hatanaka took the Reki puppet, waved it and with a tiny voice , “Are you all having fun?”

■ Picture-taking with the audience

■ Farewell greetings

■ ENDING

Reki and Langa again did the voice over as guide at the end of the event. Langa is hungry after the event. When Reki asked him what he wants to eat,

Langa: Poutine, Ramen, Cake, Ice cream, Poutine…
Reki: That’s too much! You should have stopped at Poutine
Langa: Poutine isn’t enough.

In the Evening event, it was announced that sk8 will be having a

  • Stage play adaptation
  • New anime project

Details to follow!

Thanks for reading!

I’m no longer active on tumblr nowadays, so you may follow me on twitter instead @harukaja15

Though for long reports like this, tumblr is really perfect :)

For similar Japan-based original posts, you may follow me or track the #my original content tag on my blog.

The report is late, but still posting this for the record!! It’s long and detailed but the talks were really interesting so please read until the end! I promise, you won’t regret it! I also put Haikyuu pictures for easier understanding (but no seiyuu pics from the actual event besides those from the official accounts).

The event was held on 1/10 but there was an archive viewing on 1/23~24 so I watched it again <3

image
image

The event starts with a prerecorded video of a mini skit by the voice actors. The video shows the Inarizaki members at the club room at the start of the year (not animated, still images only moving once in a while).

Atsumu: I won this year, Samu! I got more New year postcards than you!

Osamu: But you’re also including the ones sent from business establishments! They don’t count!

Atsumu: Doesn’t matter! They’re addressed to my name, anyway! You’re just a sore loser!

Suna enters the room and they notice that he seems to be happy. Osamu assumed that it’s probably because he got a lot of money from New Year, but warns him that if he spends too much, Kita-san would scold him telling him to save money properly.

Atsumu: Ah! Must be nice to be you, Suna! Because we’re twins, we have to divide and share the money we get from our grandparents! I envy you!

Osamu: *sighs* If I were an only child, I’d get to buy delicious stuff and enjoy all the food by myself!

But Suna clarifies that it’s not because of the money he got why he’s happy, but actually because he got “excellent luck” from the fortune this year.

The twins didn’t expect him to bother about such things, and they said that they don’t actually believe in that because as twins they’re often told to share the same fate.

Kita enters the room and everyone greets him a Happy New Year. Kita greets back and tells them to get ready for the meeting and the practice. Osamu suddenly asks a question before they go though.

Osamu: I heard from Aran-kun before that Kita house’s “ozouni” (Japanese soup with rice cakes traditionally eaten during New Year) is really delicious. Is that true?

Kita: Ah well, it’s made by granny after all, so there’s no way it’s not.

Osamu: Please let me eat that next time!

Atsumu: That’s unfair!!! Let me too!

Kita: *chuckles* Oh, you’re pretty enthusiastic about this, huh. Well, it’s good to properly eat such food during New Year after all. I’ll let you next time.

Twins: Thanks a lot!!

Osamu: Ahhh~ Can’t wait to eat Kita house’s ozouni!

Suna: Osamu, you really do like eating, huh.

Kita reminded them to not get carried away and take care of their bodies. They then go to proceed with their meeting.

image

The seiyuu event starts with the Inarizaki members greeting a Happy New Year. They’re also happy that Inarizaki is the main focus of this event.

For convenience, they’ll be referred here as follows.

  • Miyano Mamoru (Atsumu’s seiyuu) - Mamo
  • Kabumoto Hideaki (Osamu) - Kabu
  • Nojima Kenji (Kita) - NojiKen
  • Shimazaki Nobunaga (Suna) - Zakki

They’re all wearing Inarizaki-themed kimonos for the occasion and showed it off with the camera tilting down to up, focusing on each of them, as they also turned around.

Kabu is wearing a matching arm warmer, which he mistakenly calls “warm armer” (Mamo corrects him laughing), that volleyball players apparently use during games. He also shares that he spent the New Year alone (due to the pandemic situation), meanwhile NojiKen went to the Haikyuu exhibit during the holiday and was really impressed with the experience.

There were also seiyuu events held last year but since the anime was still ongoing at that time they cannot fully talk about everything, but now they can go talk without any hesitation. This is also the first time that the four of them gathered for a Haikyuu event.

Zakki has been open about his love for his team in past events and this time he also expressed that with a full smile.

Zakki: I’m really very happy (that we’re all here)! *cute mini jumping/shaking gestures* Ah, i LOVE Inarizaki! I REALLY love this team, it’s the best! Even if I knew that we’d end up losing, I still felt like we were definitely gonna win.

Mamo: But we did lose

Zakki: Don’t say it!

The MC of the event entered afterwards and the seiyuus formally introduced themselves one by one (they almost forgot lol).

Karasuno was then introduced. They also appeared in a mini skitfirst.

Hinata arrives at the gym first. However, inside the gym Mt. Fuji appeared out of nowhere. He was surprised for a second, but then thought that he’d go climb it anyway. 

Kageyama enters the scene chasing a flying hawk.

Kageyama: Oy boke! Hinata! Catch that bird! Fly!

Hinata jumped and jumped but wasn’t able to catch it.

Kageyama: Oy! How dare you let it go! What was with those little jumps anyway? You wouldn’t reach it with that!

Hinata asked what was that all about and Kageyama said that the hawk matches Mt. Fuji. And with that, Hinata realizes that the only thing lacking for a good luck charm is an eggplant (“nasu” in Jpn).

Hinata: Kageyama! “Ore ni nasu!” (Tr: “Bring the eggplant to me,” but this is a play on the “Toss to me” line which sounds similar in Jpn “Ore ni tosu!”)

Kageyama refused, complaining about it and they started to argue.

The sound of alarm suddenly rings. Hinata wakes up from the dream*, and heads out to go to practice.

*Hatsuyume - the first dream of the year deemed to be important in Jpn culture. Dreaming of Mt. Fuji, hawk, and eggplant is particularly considered to be lucky.

The Karasuno seiyuus then join the rest in the studio saying their greetings.

  • Murase Ayumu (Hinata) - Ayu
  • Ishikawa Kaito (Kageyama) - Kaito

Haikyuu Back to the Top!

The seiyuus selected their most memorable scenes from the season.

Ayu and Zakki apparently chose the same: Hinata’s “Nice receive” scene.

image

Zakki particularly loves the silence that follows after the receive, and Kageyama’s “Nice receive” (he claps when it was shown on the VTR). 

He loves Inarizaki and really wanted to fight and win with them and felt very frustrated when they lost, but he can’t really help but admire this Karasuno scene. The people who were watching the game couldn’t believe what happened that everyone’s feelings synced and they all fell silent. The silence held so much meaning, he thinks that the events and all the drama that occurred for them to reach this turning point gave the scene life, despite the lack of sound, and it was really beautiful. It’s a scene made by everyone. It also happened that he was at the studio during the recording and he saw how Kaito and the director gave so much thought about how Kageyama would say the “Nice receive” line to Hinata.

Ayu adds that the Inarizaki match is indeed very important to Hinata’s growth and this scene is a testament that Hinata’s path was right, and all his efforts weren’t in vain. He also likes the monologue by Japan National Team coach Hibarida in this scene, saying that Hinata’s life as a volleyball player which would still continue from then on, was acknowledged.

Mamo and Kabu’s chosen scenes were also shown together - Twin’s Quick.

image

Kabu chose the last quick of the game, while Mamo chose all.

For the first quick, Mamo especially liked the moment when it zooms to Atsumu. The reverse quick was also impressive. 

Mamo: *pointing at the VTR* Isn’t this amazing? This is reverse, you know!

image

Kabu still doesn’t want to believe that their last quick got blocked.

Mamo chose all because of the build-up and growth that happened during the match. The quick attack was something the twins just tried on a whim, but their guts, playfulness, and talent were really amazing.

The last quick was particularly memorable to Kabu because Osamu can be seen as the more reserved of the two, and while the twins carry the same thing inside them their approach and expression of things differ. But in the last scene, Atsumu and Osamu gave their all and really synced 100% perfectly.

Mamo adds that the first and last quick had the same lines, but the tension was very different and he really liked the juxtaposition. As the actors they were also carried away and really let their voices go all out in the last one, and he even thinks that Kabu and him synced perfectly that their voices sounded very alike.

image

On the other hand, the Karasuno members were also asked for their opinion.

Kaito: Aahhh, no matter how many times I watch it, it’s really amazing. And because it’s the quick attack that we’ve been doing ever since, I still feel irritated, like *points at his face* this area below my eye really twitches unconsciously. That’s our attack! Don’t do it!

Ayu agrees and says that he really likes that last rotation in the game, that if it weren’t for that rotation, if it weren’t Kageyama and Hinata there, Karasuno would not have been able to block that attack. As he also shared in the Jump Festa last time, it’s theirs and they’re the ones who knew it the most so it’s only perfect that they were the ones who were able to stop that.

The next scene shown was the one Kaito picked which turned out to be unexpected to everyone - Atsumu’s happy scenes compilation.

image

Kaito explains that they might think that he’s just fooling around, but he actually has a serious reason for choosing this. Kageyama and Atsumu are both setters with similar personalities, they love volleyball, and are very straightforward to their dreams. And while he does like Kageyama’s demeanor, he admires Atsumu’s attitude towards volleyball so much.

Kaito: “I’m having so much fun right now!!” The way Atsumu expresses that, as a human I want to work and live a life like Atsumu who enjoys doing what he loves so much, and is able to openly express it to the world. Atsumu’s way of playing volleyball, those smiles, the voice that holds all the experiences he’s had - i REALLY like them.

Mamo was glad and grateful with the compliment and agrees, sharing that sometimes at the end of a hard day’s work he’s also like Atsumu who’d go tell himself, “Ah! Ain’t today’s me so amazing?!”

He says that Atsumu is so carefree and thinks that there’s nothing wrong with expressing how he feels at the moment, especially when he’s strong because he’s doing his best everytime. It’s the result of his efforts and he takes pride in it. That is why he can express that smile that loves volleyball very much.

The last scene was the one NojiKen selected - Kita’s “Aren’t my teammates amazing?” scene (starting from the “I don’t have any regrets” line).

image

While watching the VTR,

NojiKen: Ah, I’m gonna cry..

Mamo: This scene would really make you cry… I did cry during the recording.

Kabu: Aran-kuuunnn T.T

NojiKen: It’s very admirable.. Ah, I really wanted them to win..

Mamo: Ahhhh… He’s the best captain…

NojiKen shared that he was torn between choosing this scene or the scene when Kita got his uniform. During the recording the seiyuus, just like the Inarizaki team, fought with their all, only thinking about victory despite them knowing the end result.

So when the team lost, he really felt so frustrated and if it was him, he’d really want to shout and cry. But Kita-san doesn’t have any regrets, and his choice of words here showing the maturity of his heart really struck him.

NojiKen: Kita-san wasn’t crying in the scene, so during the recording I shouldn’t cry too. But after that, I did cry a lot. I think that in the corners of Kita-san’s heart he was really frustrated but hid it, and when he was left alone, he probably shed tears, too.

Mamo: Ahh, what a really nice talk this is..

NojiKen: So frustrating..

Zakki: I really wanted us to win..

For the next corner, the seiyuus were asked (beforehand) to

describe the Karasuno team and the Inarizaki team in one word.

Their answers were compiled and due to the short time allotted for discussion, only a few answers were discussed.

image

NojiKen: Karasuno = Turkish ice cream

They’re like that ice cream that unbelievably stretches a lot which he likens to Karasuno growing and improving consistently physically and mentally. Moreover, when you buy the ice cream, the vendor usually won’t hand it to you right away and you’d keep chasing for it, and just like that, Karasuno is a team that isn’t easily “captured” by their opponents.

Zakki: Karasuno = Sticky sticky love volleyball (they were laughing at Zakki’s lack of vocabulary)

Zakki also defended his answer that well, Karasuno is sticky and stretches out too that no matter how far the opponents go they will stick to them persistently. And because they are sticky, no matter how much they stretch out they won’t get cut easily amidst difficult situations, remaining connected. And because they love volleyball, they don’t stretch out in pain, but happily.

Inarizaki = Go go go head-on love volleyball

Inarizaki has overflowing spirits and potential and they always go for any challenge, almost without limits. He thinks that if Kita-san wasn’t there to steady the hold they’d go flying too much and even collapse somewhere. And of course since they all share that love for volleyball, despite the differences they are able to face everything head-on.

Kaito, to Zakki: You’re saying something so good but because of the word choice it gets negated!

image

Mamo: Karasuno = comrades; Inarizaki = family

Inarizaki gives off a strong family vibe not only because the twins are literally brothers, but because of the role of each member like one is a responsible parent (Kita), an older brother (Aran), an inexpressive cheeky little brother (Osamu/Suna?), etc, and he likes it. Whereas Karasuno are more like comrades in arms fighting together.

Ayu: Inarizaki = Despair

This team has a lot of potential and it’s as if they don’t have any weaknesses. They can stop the good momentum of the opponent to get back on track, and when the momentum is on their side they also have Kita-san who can prolong that despair. He says that when he first read them in the manga, he was like “it’s impossible to beat them!”

Kaito: Inarizaki = Growth period

Inarizaki is always ever-growing all the while they’re having fun, and that road to “ripening” is unstoppable, making this team a formidable opponent.

The next corner featured fortune-telling by a tarot card reader named A.M., which was then revealed to be Ayumu Murase. In private life, he revealed that he enjoys tarot card reading and does it almost everyday. He drew the cards of the other seiyuus beforehand to determine their luck in “battles” this year.

Since this corner isn’t about Haikyuu, I won’t report it in detail.

Basically they were ranked based on their luck, and Ayu explained the readings for each one of them.

  1. Kabu
  2. Mamo
  3. NojiKen
  4. Zakki
  5. Kaito

Since Kaito ranked the lowest, he was given a lucky item - a golden volleyball.

New Year Postcard Pick up Corner

After that, they proceeded to the New Year Postcard Pick up Corner, where cards sent from fans were displayed on a board. This was led by Ayu and Kaito and two cards were picked which contained greetings and questions from the senders.

1st card - Share a moment when you felt like you got hooked on your job again (just like Haikyuu characters did to volleyball).

Ayu and Kaito both answered that it was getting to work in Haikyuu. Kaito expounds that Haikyuu reflects real life as they don’t always win, despite being the main characters. They continue to grow as actors too, and when they get to meet one another in the next seasons they all get to enjoy the new battles they face together.

image

2nd card - What do you think is Kageyama’s weakness?

Kaito thinks that Kageyama may be seen as strong but he’s not a perfect setter and is continuously supported by the people around him.

Meanwhile, Ayu thinks that as a setter Kageyama may be seen as smart who is good in studies as well, but then the fact that he’s actually just on the same level as Hinata in studying, is cute.

image

M-1/K-1/S-1/H-1 GranPri

The event then proceeds to the “Grand Prix” program, where three selected scene cuts (VTRs) for each character are shown. Each seiyuu would vote which scene they think represents the character best. After the initial voting, they’d engage in a discussion stating the reason for their choice (though because of time restriction not everyone can speak) where they can persuade others to change their votes. After that they make a final vote.

Miya-1 GranPri: Osamu

Scene 1: from Ep16

image

Scene 2: from Ep21

image

Scene 3: from Ep22

image

Initial Votes:

  1. Zakki
  2. Mamo, Kabu, Ayu
  3. Kaito, NojiKen

Discussion:Kabu remembers that he wondered about how Osamu would talk in this scene, as he’s frustrated but chose to say such words. He talked to Mamo about it and since Mamo/Atsumu would strongly say his lines, Kabu/Osamu also settled to assert his point with more conviction (”Let me finish what I’m saying!”).

Since Kabu discussed his experience that way, other seiyuus were easily convinced to change their answer to 2. Though NojiKen states that his favorite number is 3 that’s why he voted for 3. (So yeah, this didn’t turn into a discussion at all lol)

Final votes: 2 - everyone

Miya-1 GranPri: Atsumu

Scene 1: from Ep4 

image

Scene 2: from Ep21

image

Scene 3: from Ep24

image

Initial Votes:

  1. Kaito, Kabu
  2. Mamo, Zakki, Ayu
  3. NojiKen

Discussion:Kaito had a hard time choosing but ended up voting for 1. He says that scene 1 definitely gave a strong first impression of Atsumu. He got disappointed in Kageyama because he didn’t get thrilled on his by the book’s way of playing volleyball. Mamo adds that when they recorded this Atsumu really appeared as a strong, mysterious senpai character, and Kaito who watched it, honestly said that he’s scary. Kaito adds that there is more impact because he was on the receiving end of those words.

Everyone was a bit silent and looked like they got convinced of Kaito’s answer, but Zakki begged to differ. He says that because of scene 1 being scary, people would wonder what kind of person Atsumu is, and once they see scene 2 they’d understand where he is coming from. They’d see that Atsumu is a very earnest person who goes straight forward to what he wants and has to do. In an instant, all of Atsumu’s appeal/charm as a person, as a player is shown.

Zakki: Won’t everyone begin to like Atsumu because of this scene?

NojiKen was about to defend his answer, apparently he has a proper reason this time for voting 3, but the time limit bell rang before he had the chance to do so.

Final Votes: 2 - Zakki, NojiKen, 1 - the rest

Kage-1 GranPri

Scene 1: from Ep7

image

Scene 2: from Ep19 (Kalm Kageyama)

image

Scene 3: from Ep24 (Setter Dump)

image

Initial Votes:

  1. Kaito
  2. Ayu
  3. Mamo, Kabu, NojiKen, Zakki

Discussion: NojiKen says that scene 3 exhibited Kageyama’s sharp intellect as a setter that thoroughly thinks about the strategy. Kabu adds that with this, he thinks Kageyama was able to get even with Atsumu from the goody two-shoes remark.

Ayu thinks that scene 3 was indeed impactful on the opponent side (that’s why all Inarizaki voted for it), but for a teammate the presence of a ‘Kalm Kageyama’ is impressive as it shows a different side of him when playing so he went for 2.

Kaito finds scene 1 a very important turning point for Kageyama as Hinata makes him a king. A king is someone who can’t exist without his own people, so a king only becomes one because he is chosen. Up to now Kageyama has been nothing but a lonely king, so that act from Hinata for the first time ever officially made him the King of the Court. And from that, scene 2 is born showing a King, and then scene 3 shows that this King can also act like this.

Final Votes: 2 - Kaito, 1 - the rest

It was a surprise that after everything Kaito said, he ended up the one changing his answer but he didn’t give any explanation about it.

Suna-1 GranPri

Scene 1: from Ep19

image

Scene 2: from Ep19 (the old man discussing Suna’s ability)

image

Scene 3: from Ep20 (Suna wanting to find Kita’s weakness)

image

Initial Votes:

  1. Mamo, Kabu, Ayu
  2. Kaito
  3. Zakki, NojiKen

Discussion: 

Mamo: 3 is Kita-san’s scene!

Zakki: And 2 is the old man’s scene!

Kaito defends 2 saying that core training is very hard and he looks up to Suna for being able to master that. But when he thought about 1 again, he says that 1 is indeed a good scene and considers changing his answer right then lol. Meanwhile, NojiKen actually wanted to choose 1 but Kita-san was in scene 3 so he voted for that.

Mamo: Well, that was Kita-san’s cute scene after all!

Zakki was about to explain about 1 but was cut by the time limit bell.

Final Votes: 4 - Zakki, 1 - the rest

Zakki explained that he likes 1 but the scene he liked the most was the exchange when Tsukki got back on Suna, so he chose 4. Mamo agrees and teases the staff that they should have chosen to put that scene in the selection instead.

Kita-1 GranPri

Scene 1: from Ep20 (scene cut starts from Aran and Kita going home until this “chanto yannen” scene)

image

Scene 2: from Ep20 (Kita analyzing the 2nd years one by one)

image

Scene 3: from Ep24 (“I’m a human invited to a monster’s ball.”)

image

Initial Votes:

  • 1 - Mamo, Kabu, Zakki, Ayu, Kaito
  • 3 - NojiKen

Discussion:NojiKen continues fooling around by choosing 3 even if he actually likes 1. Mamo says that he actually likes the scene before 1, the moment when Kita-san got his uniform and proceeds to tease the staff again to put that scene instead. But Kabu says that he likes that going home scene, surprised that Kita-san can laugh like that and Aran was also cute for getting confused at what Kita-san was talking about. Kaito adds that scene 1 also shows us the level of friendship that Kita-san and Aran have. Kita-san laughed but Aran didn’t look surprised, meaning that he has seen it before - Aran knows Kita-san’s smile.

Final Votes: 1 - everyone

Hina-1 GranPri

Scene 1: from Ep1 

image

Scene 2: from Ep13

image

Scene 3: from Ep24

image

Initial Votes:

  • 1 - Mamo, Kaito
  • 3 - Kabu, NojiKen, Zakki, Ayu

Discussion: Kaito was very hesitant in making a decision again but ended up with 1. Ayu starts the discussion saying that 1 and 2 are indeed very Hinata-like, but 3 left a big impression on him, seeing Hinata become someone who is able to give his teammates a moment to breathe in the middle of a game, showing how much he has grown. He was deeply moved when he read it in the manga and when he watched it in the anime again.

For a moment Kaito wanted to change his answer to 3, but then explains that 1 is the very starting line of To the Top. Because of that, not only Hinata but Karasuno was able to face and fight Inarizaki like this. Mamo comments on a different note. He wasn’t in the studio during the recording of 1 but when he watched it again now, he felt impressed and realized how along with Hinata Shoyo, Murase Ayumu the seiyuu has also grown a lot. That one short scene makes Ayu’s development very clear, for being able to voice act like that. Ayu was so happy and grateful he immediately changed his answer to 1. 

Final Votes: 3 - Kabu, NojiKen, 1 - the rest

New Year Postcard Pick up Corner 2

After the Granpri, they went to the New Year Postcard Pick up Corner again, led this time by Mamo and Kabu.

Mamo: Hi! We are Hyogo’s Miya twins!

Mamo reads the 1st card though there was no question, it’s from a mother writing about his 6-yr old son who loves Haikyuu, particularly Atsumu. Mamo is glad and thinks that people of different ages really do watch Haikyuu. Kabu adds that it would be nice if this can actually inspire someone in the future to play volleyball.

Mamo: Yeah, like hearing someone say that because of Haikyuu they became a setter, or a professional player.

2nd card - Do you have anything that’s like Kita-san’s concept of “Repetitive, Methodical, Thorough”?

Kabu answers that this applies to his work as a stage actor where they keep doing the same things properly everyday for months.

image

New year’s Play-offs

The next games that followed were more related to New Year but less of Haikyuu so I won’t be reporting them in detail too (also because it’s probably only funny if you get to watch them playing the game). The seiyuus were divided into two: Team Atsumu with Mamo, Zakki, Ayu, and Team Tobio with Kaito, Kabu, and NojiKen.

image

Game 1 - Guess the Situation of the First Dream: Sleep Talk Nuance Quiz

Mechanics: One of the members will sleep talk using a random line from the anime. There are four situations given where the line can possibly be used, and out of the four the other members will guess what kind of dream their teammate had. 

This game was played 4 times, with 2 turns for each team. Both teams won once.

Game 2 - Two-attack First Drawing

Mechanics: One member has to guess the word that his two other teammates will draw together. The challenge is that they can only draw using one pen stroke or without lifting their pen.

Each team only got one turn, and both didn’t get the correct answer.

With the two teams ending up in a tie, they were both declared winners and the prize is… Kita House’s Ozouni! A Hyogo-style ozouni was prepared for them. NojiKen led the serving of the food.

NojiKen: You have to do cooking properly, too. (“Oryouri mo, chanto yannen”)

image

The event now comes to a close. The seiyuus say their

last message to the fans.

Zakki: I hope it was made clear that this is how fun the atmosphere is during recordings. I really love Inarizaki and the Haikyuu team. I will continue to hope that there will be more chances to spend time with everyone again. Please continue supporting Haikyuu from now on too!

NojiKen: Due to the pandemic situation, voice recordings were taken separately, but still this kind of teamwork was born. During these hard times, please watch/rewatch Haikyuu a lot of times and exercise your hearts and mind. Thank you!

Kabu: I have been invited to participate in a lot of Haikyuu events since last year and then for the first time these 4 Inarizaki members have gathered, and I really had a good time. I hope you all enjoyed it too. Looking forward to your support.

Mamo: I’m really glad that I can experience youth again at my age through Haikyuu. With the current situation where the norm is no longer the usual, I’m really happy that we were able to finish and present this Inarizaki match to you, thanks to the efforts of all the staff who have carefully considered how we can work best while taking the necessary health precautions. From here on too, we will continue to bring entertainment to the fans like usual, and I’m hoping that we can work again and act for the future stories too of Haikyuu.

Kaito: Did you have fun watching, everyone?

*answers himself acting as a viewer* Yes! We had fun! Thank you!

Thank you for all your comments! It’s been more than a year since we started working for Haikyuu To the Top and despite all the difficulties brought about by outside influences (particularly the pandemic), I’m really happy that we are here now and were able to say, “That was fun!” with everyone. Let’s keep the flame burning for Haikyuu!

Ayu: As what everyone has also mentioned, the current situation has made me realize more the value of each and every episode we created. Precisely because the normal everyday things have ceased to become normal, being part of a work that can touch people’s hearts when they watch it and make them appreciate volleyball more, makes me feel really proud. I’m really grateful to the staff. Hinata and everyone’s path will still continue from now on and I really hope we can continue to work with this team until the end.

After their goodbyes, NojiKen was tasked to lead the last greeting as the captain of Inarizaki, which is the main in this event.

NojiKen: Thank you everyone for watching us ‘til the end. Thank you!

All together: Thank you!!!! *cute bye bye waves*

And that’s it!! It was a fun fun fun 2.5 hrs event! I’m really glad that despite the current pandemic situation we can still have seiyuu events like this.

I just want to say that I’ve been watching Haikyuu all these years, but unexpectedly, the Inarizaki match is the moment I felt that I got hooked on Haikyuu *cries*

I just really really LOVE Kita-san soooo much, and the Miya twins T.T !!!!
