May 30 is Hoshi Souichirou-san's birthday.
He debuted as a voice actor in the 1990s and has played various characters. In 2021, he has roles in titles such as "Higurashi When They Cry Gou", "Fukkou Ouen Masamune Datenicle Gattaiban +", and "Idolish7: Third BEAT!".
He is active in a wide range, not only as a voice actor but also as a supervisor for the smartphone RPG "RenCa:A/N".
To celebrate his birthday, we at Anime!Anime! conducted the same readers' survey as last year asking, "Who's Your Favorite Character Voiced by Hoshi Souichirou?". There were 315 votes during the survey period from May 19 to May 26.
The voters were mainly female with a gender ratio of 80% female to 20% male, and the age range was on the younger side with 30% under 20, 30% in their 20s, and 30% in their 30s.
■An idol, pilot, transfer student, etc... Various types of characters made the list!
1st Place
Toppin the list was Momo from "Idoish7". He kept the top position for two consecutive years with roughly 30% of the votes.
He was popular for being a character that cheers others up and received comments like, "A cheerful and dependable senpai! His positive attitude of overcoming hardship and his words of wisdom gave me a lot of courage," "His portrayal of the always cheerful and kind, yet also sensitive Momo was amazing. When Momo was distressed and troubled, it made my heart ache, and when Momo was happy, it made me also happy. His performance drew me into the story!" and "How he and Yuki, his partner in Re:vale, are great buddies and support each other makes me want to cheer for them."
"Idolish7: Third BEAT!" is scheduled to start in July 2021. The character from a popular series received twice as many votes as the character in 2nd place.
2nd Place
Coming in 2nd was Kira Yamato with roughly 13% of the votes. He also kept his position from last year.
"I love everything about him, his cute looks that you wouldn't expect from a Gundam protagonist, his voice that still has a boyish quality, his intelligence that can instantly understand Gundam's OS, and the way he kept fighting for his beliefs despite his troubles," "I love how Hoshi-san's kind voice matches Kira's personality. He's a charming, kind character who cares about his friends, yet is strong and cool in battles," and "I fell in love with Hoshi-san's performance again, when seeing Kira, who was cute, fragile, and sad in 'SEED', all grown up in the sequel 'DESTINY'," are some of the comments he received.
Many votes for him were from those in their late 20s to 30s, who watched the show back in the original broadcast, and many of them said they got interested in "Gundam" or even anime itself since watching this show.
3rd Place
Maebara Keiichi from "Higurashi When They Cry" took 3rd place with roughly 10% of the votes, moving him up from last year's 8th place.
Maebara Keiichi is a transfer student who has moved from the city to Hinamizawa. The protagonist who gets involved in mysterious incidents received votes like, "I think Keiichi adds to the fun in the club members of 'Higurashi' and brings the best out of them," "The snappy reactions and screams perfectly match my image of the character," and "His portrayal of the various emotions is amazing."
He moved up the list thanks to "Higurashi When They Cry: Gou", the new anime that started in 2020. There was also a comment surprised by his voice not changing over the 7 years, "His voice hasn't changed a bit, and I felt the return of Keiichi!"
"Higurashi When They Cry: Sotsu" is scheduled to be broadcast from July.
■Here are some comments for other characters!
For Tachibana Senzou from "Nintama Rantarou", "It's fun to watch Hoshi-san, who often plays energetic characters, playing the cool and talented senior student of the Ninjutsu Academy. It's also interesting to see the character go crazy from time to time."
For Kasamatsu Yukio from "Kuroko's Basketball", "He's competitive and has a strong sense of responsibility. I respect him for changing Kise Ryouta of the Generation of Miracles by treating him as an ordinary rookie member and not as a special person."
For Batetemoda from "Healin' Good Pretty Cure", "Yasushi-san is the only one who can portray the luck-pushing yet ambitious villain in a cute manner! I enjoyed watching him every week adopting the latest trends like rap and the Shupei pose."
For the first user of One For All in "My Hero Academia", a character he played in the latest series, "The strength, fragility, and gentleness of the first user, all packed in Hoshi-san's voice, was fantastic!"
While many popular characters were dominant in the 2021 survey, characters from titles that had their latest series broadcast recently also made the list. Characters from a wide generation received votes.

The first day of "Re:vale LIVE GATE 'Re:flect U'", the first solo concert of Re:vale from "IDOLiSH7", was held on October 15, 2022, at Main Arena, Musashino Forest Sports Plaza. This reports will feature the situation of the fabulous concert by the full band.
Re:vale is a 2-person idol group consisting of the cute Momo with an impressive adorable smile, and the cool Yuki with a mysterious atmosphere. They are a top idol in "IDOLiSH7" as they had handled the theme songs of various movies and dramas as well as the grand winner of the nation's largest music ceremony "BLACK OR WHITE".
On Day 1, Hoshi Soichiro (voice of Momo) and Tachibana Shinnosuke (voice of Yuki) appear on stage with the composure posture of the "Absolute King" while carrying on the passionate expectation of the fans waving the light sticks in the full house venue. Their appearance in the same clothing as the key visual had caused the fans, who were waiting for this moment, to be overfilled with energy.
The opening song was "NO DOUBT -Re:act LIVE GATE style-". This song is the rock tune version of one of the representative songs of Re:vale, "NO DOUBT" in a special arrangement. This song was announced to be the bonus track attached to the first limited edition of Re:vale's 2nd album "Re:flect In", and surely many fans have expected that this song will be performed in this concert due to the name. While maintaining the thrilling atmosphere, the song was added with the impressive profound sound that will linger in your ear.
The thing that surprised the fans from the first song, was the full band performance that is the first in "IDOLiSH7" concerts. The two performers have showed off their dignity as the top idols from the first song together with in-sync performance by "Future Notes Band", where Hori Kuraaki (keyboard) is the bandmaster.
They also called out using the same calls of Re:vale's Momo and Yuki, "Everyone! Are you all enjoying yourselves nya?!" and "Let's create the greatest stage with us Re:vale." As the fans can't let out their voice, they waved the vivid pink and berry green light sticks vigorously instead.
After the talking part, they performed "Yumeshizuku", one of the new songs in the 2nd album. They had magnificently performed the leading calm melody that transferred into the upbeat melody. The lyric "Buddy Futari Dakara Get it Norikoete Kita" (Because both of us are buddy, we are able to overcome it), has showed off their trust toward each other as the current Re:vale has faced various difficulties.
"Re-raise" has struck the fans with admiration with the unique performance. The members of Re:vale have reappeared with a new clothing in the moody venue that was created by the performance of the big bands with the addition of a saxophone, trumpet, and trombone. The AR performances of the running train from the MV and the original designed trump cards scattering in the sky have recreated the atmosphere from MV.
After that, the "Absolute King" Re:vale have charmed the fans with the various songs and clothing. In contrast to the singing part, where they had done in their best condition, they had also entertained the fans with natural interactions just like a marital skit, which is a famous act of Re:vale, during the talking part. With this, they have adjusted the tempo of the concert splendidly.
During the ending part, they performed the rock song with a speedy tempo "Fly! More Liberty". The phrase "C‘mon Rival!" is like a positive message toward the other friendly rivalry groups, such as ŹOOĻ, who will have a solo concert in February 2023.
The last song that was announced is "SILVER SKY -Re:act alternative style-". The psychedelic lightings, clothing, and choreography had created a performance that will remind you of the MV.
During the encore greetings, they had introduced the members of "Future Notes Band" that fired up the stage. The crowds clapped their hand as they praised them for the wonderful performances.
The last song of the encore is "Mirai Notes wo Kanadete", which is also the ending song of "IDOLiSH7 Second BEAT!". Their appearance of singing with a smile of this refreshing pop song till the end is just like a top idol.
The first day of the solo live has ended with the clapping from the crowds after around 2 hours and 30 minute’s of performance on the stage overflowing with fascination.
