【Chairman Morikawa Toshiyuki】

At this time, I, voice actor Morikawa Toshiyuki, will take the responsibility of chairman for BL FES!! Does everyone like BL? I love it. I want to make BL FES!! an event that spreads the potential of the culture of boys love even more. Above all, I will do my absolute best as chairman so that fans will be able to be captivated by the expression and charm that only BL has to offer and enjoy BL from the bottom of their hearts and feel that "BL FES!! is amazing!!"

【"Yes ka No ka Hanbun ka" Author Ichiho Michi 】
I am so excited to see the animated(!) announcer Kunieda moving, walking, getting angry! And to see Ushio laugh, struggle, and make a move (maybe)! I hope that everyone can look forward to it and enjoy it with me. Please say yes! Thank you so much.

【"Marudase Kintaro" Author Guren Naomi】
I am the one most surprised by the sequel "Marudase Kintaro" becoming an animated film 10 years after releasing "Masaka no Kintaro" (the first work in the series). I would be happy if you enjoy it.
