Laid-Back Camp: “Let’s Go Camping!” “Couldn’t Resist Buying It” New Headphones Featuring Nadeshiko and Rin’s Voices, Plus More Merchandise!
From the TV anime "Laid-Back Camp SEASON 3," the over-ear headphones ANIMA AOW03 with a selection of newly recorded voices from Kakamigahara Nadeshiko and Shima Rin, are now available. Onkyo has started accepting pre-orders. "Laid-Back Camp" is a girls' outdoor story serialized by Afro in the manga app COMIC FUZ. It gently depicts the daily life of high school girls who love camping, set in Yamanashi and Shizuoka, with over 10 million copies of the manga in circulation. The first season of the TV anime aired in 2018, and the second season in 2021. In the movie "Laid-Back Camp," released in July 2022, the main characters, who have grown up, challenge themselves to build their own campsite, which became a hot topic. The third season of the TV anime started airing in April 2024, and the production of the fourth season, "Laid-Back Camp SEASON 4," was announced at the SP Event Yurucamper's Gathering held in November. ■ Equipped with voice guidance: "Alright! Let's go camping!" "Hehe... Couldn't resist buying it." The ANIMA AOW03, a pair of wired/wireless compatible over-ear headphones featuring newly recorded voice guidance from Kakamigahara Nadeshiko, Shima Rin, Ogaki Chiaki, Inuyama Aoi, Saito Ena, and Toki Ayano,is the result of a collaboration between ANIMA and Onkyo. The headphones take inspiration from "Laid-Back Camp" by placing a bonfire motif on the right aluminum plate and a tent motif on the left aluminum plate. You can enjoy a total of 15 voice guidance words (16 words for Inuyama Aoi) for each of the newly recorded voice guidance, such as when turning the power on or off, pairing, and tap sounds. Here are some examples of voice guidance. ■ Kakamigahara Nadeshiko Voice Guidance Examples Pairing start: "Ok, let's start pairing!" Connection successful: "Oh, it connected! Thanks!" Tap sound: "Uhehe" ■ Shima Rin Voice Guidance Examples Pairing start: "Well, guess I'll get it paired." Connection failed: "What the... qwsedrvftgyfujicolp" Tap sound: "Seriously?" ■ Inuyama Aoi Voice Guidance Examples Pairing start: "First of all, let's get it paired." Connection successful: "Connected. It really is good." Tap sound: "Just kidding." Hidden command: "＼HELLO／" In addition to the initial voices, download voices are also available for purchase. The dedicated app ANIMA Studio is scheduled to sell voice guidance for each of the 6 characters when the headphones are shipped (download purchase is only available to headphone owners). In addition, headphone pouches will also be available as made-to-order items. The Onkyo Akihabara store ONKYO DIRECT ANIME STORE -Lifestyle- (Otoani store No.2) will exhibit the headphones and pouch.

A new promotional video of the newest animation short "SPECIAL EPISODE Sauna to Gohan to Sanrin Baiku" included in the Blu-ray＆DVD of "Heya Camp" gets released. Toyama Nao, who voices Shima Rin, has also commented on the series. Additionally, it's been announced that Sakurai Takahiro will play Rin's father, Shima Ayumu. His voice can be heard during the PV. "Heya Camp" is the latest short spin-off of the anime "Yuru Camp", broadcasted from Jan. to Mar. 2018. The Outdoors Activities Club at Motosu High School is a laid back place located in a narrow corner inside the school's building. While Kagamihara Nadeshiko is killing time there, Ogaki Chiaki and Inuyama Aoi suddenly barge into the small room announcing: "We're going out on an adventure". Tagging along, the still confused Nadeshiko with them, and the members of the Outdoor Activities Club start traveling throughout Yamanashi prefecture. What are the high school students up to in this incident-filled journey? The PV released contains footage of the "SPECIAL EPISODE Sauna to Gohan to Sanrin Baiku" recorded in DVD & Blu-ray. The now short-haired Rin is seen traveling around in her tricycle, enjoying hot springs and flavoring delicious food. The short anime "Heya Camp" will be released in May. 27, 2020 in Blu-ray & DVD. Also, a special event featuring the main cast of the series, Hanamori Yumiri(Kagamihara Nadeshiko), Toyama Nao(Shima Rin), Hara Sayuri(Ogaki Chiaki), Toyosaki Aki(Inuyama Aoi), and Takahashi Rie(Saito Ena), is scheduled to be held on Nov. 29.
