The voice actor variety program "Say You to Yoasobi Tuesday' Shimono Hiro X Uchida Maaya' #30" was broadcast from 10:00 PM to 11:30 PM, on February 16, 2021, on ABEMA "Anime Live Channel". During the program, Shimono and Uchida give honest answers to "surprise consultations" from the staff . During the opening part, Shimono and Uchida reported each others activities on the previous week when the program was on a break. Normally, when they had ended the conversation, it would be time to show the opening video, but this time one of the program staff suddenly appeared and said, "Actually I have something I would like to consult you on..." Both of them showed a surprise expression and provided their "honest" answer toward this "surprise consultation" as it was not written in the script and they didn't prepare an answer beforehand. The details of the consultation is to ask advice on how to be a good senior as his juniors will be entering in April and this is his first time to have juniors. Toward this, Uchida gave the advice of "Try to act like a senior as it will make them hate you" and "It would be good if you treat them normally." For Shimono, he spoke about his own experience, "There is a possibility that an older person will become your junior. To me, I will treat them like an "older person" instead as they are my senior in life" as he mentioned that it is important to respect others. Shimono also said, "An actual good senior is someone who is frank and always helps others instead of acting like a senior. So, don't you think that those people are quite awesome?" and "Since we also need to learn everything, wouldn't it be better to learn while looking after our junior and helped them when they need it?” where the talk developed to his "ideal senior". After that, Uchida revealed that Shimono has been a kind senior since their first meeting, saying "You should be just like Shimono. He was quite frank and kind since we met each other... and his smile also!” During the program, there was various corners, like the "Dream-like Drive", where they improvise on their acting based on the situation, "Birth of Onomatopoeia!” where they think of non-existing sound, and the familiar Tuesday corners "What If Sub-culture talk" and "Dummy Head Healing". "Say You to Yoasobi Tuesday' Shimono Hiro X Uchida Maaya' #30" can be watched on ABEMA now. （C）AbemaTV,Inc.

'Oshiete Hokusai!', an educational entertainment anime to make dreams come true, will have an advance distribution on ABEMA from March 7, and on other channels from March 8. Along with that, it was announced that CHAI, world-famous "neo kawaii" band, will be performing the theme song, and that Waki Azumi and Konishi Katsuyuki, the voice cast in the anime, will sing the chorus as well. "Oshiete Hokusai! -THE ANIMATION-" is based on "Yume wo Kanaeru Bakushou! Nihon Bijutsu Manga Oshiete Hokusai!" written by Iwakiri Naoto, and directed by the author Iwakiri Naoto who is a Japanese art enthusiast, and produced by CoMix Wave Films known for "Your Name". It is a short anime with a 10-minute-long episodes (10 episodes in total) that enables you to learn "Japanese art" and "philosophy of life" at the same time. The story follows a lazy high school girl learning from the greatest painters from the Japanese art sphere, and struggling while growing up . The theme song will be 'Tentekorin no Theme' by "neo-kawaii" band CHAI. This song was written and composed by CHAI as a theme song for the protagonist Okakura Tentekorin with an inspiration from the original work. Based on the theme of the film, "What is talent?" and "Can dreams come true even if you don't have talent?", CHAI sublimates the "complex" of the protagonist, who has no talent and no motivation, into a true "art". Please do not miss it. Moreover, Waki Azumi as Tentekorin, and Konishi Katsuyuki as a god of thunder that appears to make her dream come true, joins in and sings in the chorus, which makes the song more colorful. 'Oshiete Hokusai!', an educational entertainment anime that makes a dream come true, will have an advance distribution on ABEMA from March 7, and on other channels from March 8. <Full comments> CHAI I understand how it is hard to start and keep doing something as there are many obstacles to come! We always end up looking for reasons for not doing it...I want to send this anime and song to people who are paralyzed by fear! You will get courageous enough to laugh and forget about your failures!

The 1st season of the "Seitokai Yakuindomo" TV series was aired in 2010. And the long-awaited latest film, "Seitokai Yakuindomo: The Movie 2" will be released on January 1, 2021. As part of the promotional campaign, they will be raising funds for advertising costs and merchandise production costs via crowdfunding until November 30. "Seitokai Yakuindomo" is an anime series well known and loved for its high-paced comedy driven by the unique characters and the dirty jokes told by the heroines at a former girl's school. And to nobody's surprise, the main visual of the first film, which was released in 2017, was... Full of corrupt morals! Even the shape of the "vase" on the table was questionable. Because of this style, the reward goods of the crowdfunding to support the film and campaign goods were full of "style". Let's take a look at each of these unique original goods. ■The courses and rewards The project has a total of 5 courses. Moreover, the theater repeater bonus will be improved and there will be additional rewards depending on the total number of supporters. Let's take a look at each of the rewards. First is the "*bleep* Whistle". This is the well-known whistle, which Suzu blows for the "Student Council Regulations" during the cold opening. It's always nice to have an item from the show, which gives you a feel of the world of the work. There is an illustration of Suzu's head on the side of the whistle. Different student cards of 5 characters will be included in each course. Which student card you can get depends on the course you choose. You can put your name on the card if you like, making it a one-and-only official item. *A maximum of 10 letters, and emoji's are not allowed. The next item is starting to push the limits. An "uncensored" script that contains lines that would be bleeped out for regular TV. Coming up next is "Full Nude Movie Storyboard Collection". Though the word "Full Nude" is questionable, it is a valuable item that "uncovers" the work. The staging and its intentions are all written in, so it will help you understand the scenes even further, for example, the reason the student council principal smiled in a certain scene. Next is a T-shirt, which is surprisingly(?) fit for everyday use. *There is only one size. (Length: 74cm, Width: 55cm, Shoulder Width: 50cm, Sleeve Length: 22cm) "Ultra-thin" sticker. I wonder, what else is ultra-thin? An unexpectedly stylish "48 Tricks Japanese Tea Cup". A great choice for erotic humiliation. Let's enjoy the risk of using it in front of our families. And last but not least. An entry in the end credits. You have a choice of "Small" and "Super Small". The "Small" size is the same size as the staff, and the "Super Small" size is a bit smaller than that. However, the course that gives you the "Small" entry in the credits has reached its limit, so you can only choose "Super Small". The end credit entry will be valid not only for the cinematic screening but also for the DVD and Blu-ray, making this your dark past... I mean a great memory. Let's make "Seitokai Yakuindomo: The Movie 2" a special movie of your life. *A maximum of 10 letters fullwidth forms and 16 letters in halfwidth. If mixed, the maximum is 10 letters. These original goods can be obtained from supporting each course. Let's take a look at the details of each course. First is the low-priced "Ousai Academy Student Council Accountant Course".

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).
