The theme for the photos is an inspiration rather than a single title. Kamiya becomes a hair stylist, and did the photoshoots in various situations in order to cheer for the readers to make a fresh start.
He cut and washed hair, and thought 'I have no idea what is going to happen on "Monthly TV Guide" san's shooting as usual...(laugh)', but thanks to that (?), the photos are full of smiles.

To be honest, I had no idea why I was doing the photoshoot in a hair salon. The editor was saying "just like having your hair cut to feel refreshed for a new season", but I was thinking 'What is this editor saying? (laugh)' and 'Oh...OK...' (laugh) The photographer and assistant had the 8-year experience. They taught me how to hold scissors and hair, how to wash hair, and how to use my hands. I was thinking I have no idea what is going to happen on "Monthly TV Guide" san's shooting as usual...(laugh)'

The catchy songs and dances that are in the program are also popular, and the related videos have recorded over 150 million views. The program receives support from both children and adults.
The protagonist of "Otoppe Movie: Papa Don't Cry" is Otoppe Windy, known as the laziest wind in the Otoppe Town.
Windy names a baby, who appears out of nowhere and resembles himself, "Lil (provisional)", and brings her up.
Even though Windy struggles with a regular life and taking care, he gradually reaches out to her. However, Lil has some secret...
Iguchi Yuka will play Windy, Kuno Misaki will play DJ Shina, Nishijima Hidetoshi will play Westy, and Inagaki Kuremi, who was chosen on the audition, will play a mysterious baby Otoppe Lil. The director is Ushiku Takashi, the scenario will be handled by Mukouda Kunihiko, and the music will be handled by Yoshida Isao.
"Otoppe Movie: Papa Don't Cry" will be released in the fall of 2021.
Iguchi Yuka as Windy
FInally, Otoppe will be released as a movie! And it will be a musical!! Byu-byu-!!?? Is the protagonist Windy!!!? Byu wa-!!!!! I am surprised and excited at the same time! It has been broadcast for five years, and I am so glad. Thank you very much. I will play Windy, who is very expressive, blowing around, and pleasing everyone, with all of my effort. I hope everyone becomes full of smiles after watching the movie. There will be many songs that you cannot help hamming! Please look forward to it!
Kuno Misaki as Shina
I have been recording, hoping that many children watch Otoppe, so I am so glad that it will be released as a movie. I am already excited to see Windy performing. I hope a lot of people get to know Otoppe through this movie.
Inagaki Kuremi as Lil
When I watched 'Otoppe' on TV when I was six years old, I immediately became a fan of the songs, and sang 'Uki-Uki Otoppe' many times. I learned that different things had different sounds, and I looked for Otoppe in my house using an app. I was thinking what kind of sound each thing makes, and surprised to listen to some of them for the first time. I wanted to go to Otoppe Town, and I am so glad that my dream will come true as Lil-chan. I am really excited. I love the songs of Otoppe as I cannot help singing them once I hear them. I cannot wait to watch the movie in the theater.
Nishijima Hidetoshi as Westy
Otoppe will finally become a movie! I am so glad. How is the adventure of the characters going to be with their unique worldview? It will be a great work for sure. I will try with all my effort so that kids can enjoy the wonderful movie.
Ushiku Takashi as the Director
I have been involved in Otoppe through scenario writing and ending for the TV series, and YouTube videos. I am glad and very nervous to be a director of this movie. As we are in a difficult time, we will make our best effort more than ever to create a cheerful, enjoyable, but sometimes mysterious musical movie, being true to Otoppe. Please look forward to it!

The 1st PV of "Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid S", the second season of the anime series by Kyoto Animation, has been released. It was announced that director Ishihara Tatsuya will take over the position of director Takemoto Yasuhiro and the new dragon "Ilulu" will be voiced by Mineuchi Tomomi.
"Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid" is a comedy anime by Kyoto Animation and the first season was broadcast in 2017.
It depicts the almost warm interaction between dragon girls and humans with some black interspecies interactions.
The second season "Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid S" will depict the interspecies communication between humans and the "dragons" that had found their own place, like Tohru, who works as "Kobayashi-san's" maid due to certain reason's, Kanna, Lucoa, Fafnir, and Elma. One day, Kobayashi-san is facing a threat from a new dragon...
The contents of the 1st PV was depicted with a rap from Kobayashi-san, the familiar 4 dragon girls (Tohru, Kanna, Elma and Lucoa), and the new dragon "Ilulu". The PV has also announced that Mineuchi Tomomi will voice Ilulu.
What sort of development can be seen with Ilulu entering the fray? Do look forward to the broadcast.
"Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid S" will start broadcasting in July 2021. Also, "Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid" Blu-ray Box that contains the extra episode, episode 14 and the bonus trailer "Miss Kobayashi's Dragon 〇〇" will be released in April 21, 2021.
Director Ishihara Tatsuya
I'm Ishihara Tatsuya, who will be handling "Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid S" as the director.
Normally, it would be hard to take over a work that was handled by other directors, but I believe that there is no one other than me who can succeed in this position. So, I have taken up the position with that belief.
On first glance, this work seems to be an attracting comedy work with cute characters , but I believe that the hidden messages that delve deep into human mind and society are also quite interesting. In the first season, there is a scene where Tohru complains to Kobayashi, "You sound like a human being who has deviated from nature," and this is the fun of this work, and it is a consistent part of the seriesas if you are saying humans had separated themselves from nature" toward Kobayashi is one of the appeal points of this work as it makes us realize on the cheekiness of a human. These types of scenes can be seen throughout the series, and it won't be changed even when the director has changed.
Takemoto has said previously that mutual agreement between dragons and humans is not needed in this work as they are able to maintain a neutral relationship without understanding each other. The foundation of this work is the small time frame of living together with interspecies despite different lifespans and being unable to understand each other. So, with that in mind, I will work on the production of the enjoyable, bright, and home comedy "S".
Once again, I am happy that I am able to participate in this work in this manner. I would like to make this work to be able to be enjoyed by everyone regardless whether you are a fan or new to this series. Moreover, with the participation of the new character Ilulu, "Maid Dragon" will become brighter, so do look forward to it.

On February 24, "23:00 Saga Meishi Anime", a very short anime in which voice actor Miyano Mamoru does his best to show how delicious "SagaMeshi (Food)", reached the final night of its 10-night run.
To coincide with this, a "full version" of the previous 10 films, each of which is 30 seconds long, and a "more Miyano Mamoru" version, which features a lot of dialogue from Miyano-san, the star of the film, were released.
The "23:00 Saga Meishi Anime" was produced as a part of Saga Prefecture's information dissemination project "Saga Prize!" It is a very short animation that shows how delicious and attractive 10 foods that Saga Prefecture is proud of are.
Among the many "Saga Meshi" such as "Takezaki Oysters" from the Ariake Sea, "Saga Beef(R)", and "Saga Ramen", we picked up mainly winter foods that are in season. With Miyano-san's voice, the 10 ingredients were portrayed in a realistic and sizzling way for 10 consecutive days starting from February 15 at 23:00 midnight.
The "Complete Version" is a compilation of all 10 of the 30 second films in the series, and the " Increasingly More Miyano Mamoru" is a gorgeous version with lots of Miyano-san's dialogue.
In addition to the narration introducing the ingredients, Miyano-san is also in charge of the sounds of eating, such as the sound of noodles being slurped. The animation captures the truly delicious moments of "Saga Meishi", and Miyano's passionate performance with a sense of sizzle is worth watching.
Also, on the "23:00 Saga Meishi Anime" special website, a web video of Miyano-san talking about the charm and highlights of the anime "23:00 Saga Meishi Anime" has been released from 23:30 on February 24.
The video was filmed just before the release of the full version, and highlights include Miyano's expression of superiority at being able to watch the work before anyone else, and a rare post recording scene where he sings the last word of the unfinished "Increasingly More Mamoru Miyano". In the scene where he eats "Saga Meishi," he actually puts the food in his mouth to create a realistic sizzle, and other production secrets are revealed.
Miyano-san, who is now completely captivated by "Saga Meishi", also announced his favorite ingredients, and the scene where Miyano-san smiles and smacks his tongue at the ingredients is worth watching.
[Mamoru Miyano]
---- How do you feel about being a voice actor for the "23:00 Saga Meishi Anime"?
I'm really interested in Saga meishi. There are various specialties and it looks really delicious, so I had a strong desire to eat it while recording. I even want to eat it right now (lol).
----Please tell us about some of the memorable episodes during the recording?
In order to create the "feeling of eating", we actually used the ingredients and made sounds while recording. I'm sure everyone will think it looks delicious.
---- What are the main points of interest in the "23:00 Saga Meishi Anime"?
This time, rather than giving voices to the characters, we are trying to express the real scene or convey the atmosphere of eating, and the images are realistic animation. It's not just a realistic picture, but a realistic picture that conveys the taste of the food.
---- Who do you want to see this anime?
People all over Japan (lol. The anime was made with the intention of promoting Saga meishi to people all over Japan, so I hope it will reach people all over the country.
----Among the 10 Saga meishi "appearances", what is the "food" that caught your attention?
Yudofu. I'm really interested in boiling it in hot spring water from Ureshino Onsen. My family owns a tofu shop, and I grew up eating yudofu during the winter season (lols). It's so soft...it's so soft in the anime, I wonder how soft it is in real life (lol).
