From the TV anime "Hamatora," the decision to produce a theater version and SD anime has been announced.

Hamatora" is an original anime that aired from January to March 2014. Set in Yokohama, it is a battle ensemble drama depicting a detective duo and a police officer solving cases involving people with special abilities called "minimates," with the second season airing from July to September 2014.

The new information was unveiled at the "Re: ␣ Hamatora Fes. 2015 Spring" event held on March 8 at the Maihama Amphitheater. It was revealed that the first theatrical version of "Hamatora the Movie" and SD anime series will be produced, and the casts expressed their joy together with the fans. Here is a report from the evening session.

On the stage was a brick wall reminiscent of the opening image of "Re:␣ Hamatora. In the center of the wall was the title logo of "Re:␣ Hamatora" in large letters. The event opened with doors painted with the title logo opening to the left and right, and the cast members took the stage, each saying a line from the character they were portraying. Each time a cast member appeared on stage, the venue was filled with yellow and broken cheers from many female fans, and the event got off to a rousing start.

All the cast members appeared on stage, but Murase-san, who plays the role of Three, was the only one wearing a lion mask. The audience applauded when he announced that he was ordered by Honey to be the MC for this event.

MC Murase immediately introduced each of the cast members, who greeted the audience. Finally, a full-body standee of Ratio, who was not performing today, appeared onstage. A separately prepared voice recorder played back the greeting of Yuichi Nakamura, who plays the role of Ratio, and the audience erupted. The voice recorder also contains several other voices of Mr. Nakamura, which will be performed during the upcoming event. The control buttons were to be entrusted to his partner, Mr. Fukuyama, who played Birthday.

The first corner, "Re: ␣ Hamatra's Famous Scene Selection," was followed by a screening of fan-selected favorite scenes from "Re: ␣ Hamatra," which featured numerous famous scenes.

The first scene was the "Hama ♡Tora" (tentative) part from the first episode, where Ogata-san revealed the sound director's attention to detail regarding the "Hama ♡Tora" cast, who were all very talented in their CVs.

Next, "Murasaki's hospitalization scene" from episode 7 was selected for scene 2. Mr. Hatano spoke of his memories of the full use of "Hikari," the OP theme of "Hamatora the Animation.

And scene ③ is also "the scene where Birthday slips" from episode 7. Here, "Are you trying to run away? and "Don't lose, Birthday!" Ratio's voice was used in many scenes, which excited the audience.

Scene (4) was a video of Freemom Suzuki. When Mr. Osaka said, "People were talking about Suzuki on the spot, because they were curious about him." The host, Mr. Murase, revealed that there was a backstory behind Suzuki's character: "When he takes off his mask, he is a very handsome man.

The next corner was "Hamatora Investigation File! Things that can be said now". The backstory of Hamatora, which is an original work and therefore contains many secret materials that have been kept in storage, was revealed for the first time. While most of the visitors had fan books and perfect files, there were high expectations for more episodes. The event began with a comparison of the initial and new settings of the characters.

First, the setting of Koneco appeared. She was shown in sunglasses, looking more mature than she does now. She is still the same money-loving character, but at first she was a detective egg," said Yasuno-san, who plays the role of Koneko. Yasuno-san, who plays the role of Koneko, said.

Next, a comparison of the master's initial setting and the new setting was made. The cast members were surprised to see that he was a human dog and had hair in the beginning.

Next, the initial setting of Mao. Eguchi-san reveals, "At first, I was at a loss as to how to play the role of an old man, but we worked on it little by little on the set." Eguchi says, "At first, I was at a loss as to how to play the role of an old man.

The next display was Birthday. Mr. Fukuyama said, "My first impression was that he is a reggae-like older brother. At first, he was just an event guy and didn't have a name. Some details have changed, like the position of the tattoos, but the basics have remained the same." He said, "I was going for a more Fukuyama-esque look. He went with Fukuyama-san," says Murase.

Next up was the ratio. When the setting is projected on the screen, Ratio's voice is played back from the voice recorder, "Stop it, you're embarrassing me. In the beginning, he was an elite businessman, not a doctor." The suit character was going to wear a suit, so I went from a suit to a lab coat." Mr. Murase tells us.

The last character to appear was Momoka. Under the screen, Ms. Ogata controls the men who try to peek inside her skirt. The first scene in which she appeared was just picked up by Birthday, and it was almost as if she couldn't hear him. Momoka no longer has any desires, but it might make sense that someone without an ego would be the enemy." Ogata said.

The next section was "Hamatora! Battle Quiz," in which teams of two are paired against each other, with those who draw the same team name paired against each other. The cast members were excited to hear that the winner of "Team Handyman" would be able to freely control Ratio's voice recorder. Meanwhile, when his partner, Mr. Fukuyama, regretted being separated from Ratio, Ratio said "I love you" and the audience cheered!

The teams decided were as follows
Team Hamatora: Kamiya-san & Hatano-san
Team Otome: Ms. Ogata & Mr. Kato
Team Fearsome: Ms. Eguchi & Mr. Yasuno
Team Handyman: Ms. Fukuyama & Mr. Osaka

Here, Mr. Fukuyama reveals the existence of a secret button on the ratio recorder. As soon as Mr. Osaka, who is now the team handyman, presses the button, a voice plays, "Kamiya-san, please stop hitting Eguchi-kun's buttocks, please. The audience laughed at the sight of Eguchi-san running away and Kamiya-san chasing after him. Then a voice plays, "Aisaka-kun, I hear you're dancing again? A voice plays, "I heard you're dancing again," and this time, without any choice, Mr. Osaka starts to dance on the stage. The line, "Please excite the audience with your usual snappy dazzle," was played back for Mr. Fukuyama, who stepped out in front of the stage and said, "I'm usually in Yokohama, but this is going to be my hometown! Maihama~what a place!" He excited the audience with his words.

The first question of the battle quiz. The first question of the battle quiz, a magazine brought by Birthday as a gift for Ratio was shown on the screen. What was the special feature in that issue? The question was, "What was the special feature in that issue?

One point was awarded to Team Hamatra in honor of Kamiya-san for memorizing the details of the image. Another point was awarded to Team Otome, based on MC Murase's own prejudice.

The next question was "Reproduce the pose of the person who was in the center of the room. Kato's pose was the closest, and once again, Team Otome got the second point.

Ratio's voice said, "Don't lose, Birthday," for Team Handyman, who had not yet earned a single point.

The last problem is from the Trunker-kun appearance scene. The subject was "Please draw Trunker-kun, Hamatora's mascot. One aspect of the scene was that Mr. Fukuyama danced to the background music of the thinking time.

The cast members showed their unique illustrations, but Team Hamatra received 1 point for the correct number of beards. One point was given to Team Otome for the correct number of eyes, which were drawn correctly and cutely. Two points were awarded to Handyman for its high degree of perfection. For the most fearsome team, only Yasuno-san received 1 point.

Next was the last problem involving the Golden Ball. The marriage proposal scene from "Kaguyahime" was shown, and the question was, "Think of a proposal word that would make everyone in the audience swoon.

Ms. Hatano said, "I am so happy to be on such a wonderful stage. Today, I will sing for you alone. Please listen to it, Hikari." Once again, he proposed by referring to the ED theme he had sung.

Mr. Kato was embarrassed, but said, "We've been together for a long time, but I don't mind if we're together now. Please take care of me!" (The audience responded, "That's so cute!"). The audience cheered, "That's so cute!

Mr. Osaka said, "There's something I've always wanted to say to you, but I wonder if you would listen to me. Will you please follow me forever, Hajime-chan?" He expressed his feelings on behalf of Nice. In response, Kato responded, "Thank you, Nice-kun. Mr. Kato replies, "Thank you, Nice-kun.

Yasuno-san replied, "I'll do the dishes every day, so please make me a delicious latte every day! Master!" She then proposed to the master, which the cast and audience cheered. The cast and audience cheered.

Eguchi said, "Well, it's cold today. You said the lowest temperature was 3 degrees Celsius. It's cold, cold, cold! I wish I could warm you up when it's this cold. I wish I could be like a sweater for you. No, I want to be like a ball of fluff that sticks to your sweater all the time." He then proceeded to propose in his own unique way.

Fukuyama skillfully used Ratio's voice and asked the audience to read the words on the flipchart, creating an exchange between the audience and Ratio.

Kamiya-san, whose turn came next, first strode slowly across the stage, waving to the audience. He then said, "Everyone who just waved to me. I love you. In response, Hatano-san and Kamiya-san started singing. Hatano-san and Kamiya-san sang in response and hugged each other tightly.

Ogata-san was puzzled, "I don't know what to do at a time like this," but the audience cheered for him to keep going, and he said, "Well then, I'm going to sing a gender-changed version of Momoka. He prefaced his speech with, "Even though I have 3 billion, my heart is empty...can you warm it up for me!" and unleashed a proposal, which drew one of the biggest and loudest cheers from the audience.

At that moment, the winner was decided again by Team Otome, this time following the lunchtime session. Ogata-san and Kato-san took the prize, a 20,000 yen prize money right to Yokohama Chinatown.

When Mr. Kamiya asked Mr. Murase to close out the contest, Mr. Murase became impatient. Ratio's voice immediately said, "You're not going to run away, are you?

Murase-san said, "I've had everyone else do it for me, but when it came time for me to do it, I didn't realize how hard it would be. He then shared the words he had said to his wife when he proposed to her. If there is someone outside of me who can protect you for the rest of your life, bring him to me. I'll kick your ass. He then pulled Osaka, who played the role of his wife, into his arms, but she was so embarrassed that she collapsed on stage.

Next was the reading performance, an original drama written especially for this event. The title of the play was "A Blank Dream. The audience was absorbed in listening to the live dubbing by the gorgeous cast.

At this point, the cast members left the stage, and after the lights went out, the live performance began.

The first song performed was "Re:␣ Hamatora" OP theme "Sen no Tsubasa" by kz. Mr. kz appeared on stage from the center of the stage to the intro of the song, and his outstanding performance enlivened the audience.

Next, Wataru Hatano sang "Hikari," the ED theme of "Hamatora. The audience's voltage was at its highest! He sang strongly, moving from one end of the stage to the other, enlivening the audience.

The attractive music is also synchronized with the works, which is one of the major features of the "Hamatora" series.

Once again, today's performers gathered on stage. At this point, a major announcement was made.

The first was that the event "Re:␣ Hamatora Fes. 2015 Spring" would be released as a DVD. Secondly, "Hamatora the Movie" will be produced, and thirdly, an SD anime series will be produced! The audience was the most delighted of the day when the announcement was made.

There was also a surprise that was not announced during the daytime session. A birthday song was played from the audience, and a cake with an illustration of Murasaki was brought on stage. Wataru Hatano, who will soon celebrate his birthday, was surprised by the birthday surprise. The venue was filled with warm applause.

Hatano, who was fed the cake by Kamiya and Fukuyama, was cheered by the audience.

As it was, the event finally came to an end, and each cast member gave a speech of thanks.

Murase: "Is there anyone in the audience who likes Three? The first customer to raise his hand was asked, "I made it with all my heart." He gave them the Three's headgear that he was wearing at the time of his appearance today.

KZ: I am grateful for the opportunity to be involved in the series. It's not often that I get a chance to meet the fans of the series, so I appreciate it. I felt the strength of the song "Hikari. The world of "Hamatora" will continue to expand with the theater version and SD anime, and I hope to enjoy it together with everyone.

Ogata: I thought I graduated from "Team Otome" by winning the Golden Ball in the daytime quiz, but maybe two was not manly enough, so I went back to "Team Otome" in the nighttime quiz, but I got the Golden Ball again, so this time I really will graduate! I hope you will continue to support the Hamatora series.

Eguchi: I am happy to be here in front of all of you to announce our new work. I want to know who the hell Mao is, and I want to know the most. Since he has so much life-threatening information, he must have considerable minimal ability, so I would love to see him! Thank you for your continued support.

Yasuno: It was great to see you all after a long time. I was sobbing thinking that I would really have to graduate from "Hamatora" after today's event, but now that the theater version and SD anime have been announced, I am glad that I can continue to keep in touch with you all! Also, please look forward to everyone's daily life in "Nowhere".

Fukuyama: It's been two years since I was involved in "Hamatora" as Birthday, and if I think about it from the audition, I have known you all for a long time, but I am also happy that we were able to create such a fun stage and that I am still able to create works with you all, including the theater version and the SD anime. Birthday-wise, I am glad we were able to celebrate Hatano's birthday. Birthday-wise, another thing, today was also my father's birthday. Happy birthday~!

Kamiya: Watching kz's cool performance and Hatano's "Hikari" from the sleeves, various memories of "Hamatora" came back to me like a running light. Art is a serious character, so it was hard for me to get involved in the interesting parts, but I am glad that people could see the breadth of art in this reading performance, because it was a dream. The fact that so many people came like this confirms that we are accepted by many people, and it was a really happy time for me.

Kato: I was very happy to see so many different characters again after a long time. Hajime was the most unchanged character from the beginning, and I was happy to be able to continue to play the role of her. I think this is the result of everyone's support and nurturing. Now that we have decided to make a theater version and SD anime, I hope that we can create fun works together with everyone.

Hatano: "Hamatora" was a work that I had a very deep encounter with, including the music and the opportunity to work on the radio. The story was created after many changes from the initial setting, and we all spent many days worrying and confronting the characters. I was happy to hear that Murasaki became an interesting character because of Mr. Hatano's performance, and that "Hikari" had interesting elements incorporated by having Mr. Hatano sing it. I look forward to meeting you again through your character.

Aisaka:I was given a lot of advice by the senior members of the cast, who were all very senior, and the work made me think about many things. It all happened so fast, but I feel like I changed, even if only a little, through the work. I am happy to be able to play Nice again in the theater version and SD anime. I believe that we will be able to meet again like this with all of us together, so I will not say "goodbye. Let's meet again!"

And finally, the entire cast thanked the audience by saying "Thank you very much~! The event ended on a high note with a shout of "Thank you very much!
