Voice-over unit "BRILLIANT4" performs live to thank fans one year after its formation!　Event Report to Commemorate the Release of Character Song CD

On May 3, the voice cast unit "BRILLIANT4" held an event to celebrate the release of their character song CD.

BRILLIANT4" is a unit of four spirits from the TV anime "Amagi Brilliant Park": Sylphy (CV: Tomoyo Kurosawa), Coboly (CV: Hanae Mikami), and Serlama (CV: Minami Tsuda). They are in charge of the ED theme song "Elementario de meet you" of the same work.

An event was held at Lazona Kawasaki Plaza on May 3 to celebrate the release of a total of four character song CDs on April 22. On that day, Lazona Kawasaki was crowded with anime fans from the morning as the voice actor unit "Rhodanthe*" was holding an event to celebrate the release of their CDs. Here is a report.

At the event's starting time, the members of BRILLIANT4 appeared on stage in checkered costumes. Mikami Eori, who took the stage, said, "Hey everyone!　Are you burned out on Rhodanthe*?" to the thousands of people in the audience, who cheered so loudly that Lazona Kawasaki shook. Combined with the midsummer-like sunshine, the venue had the atmosphere of an outdoor anime song festival.

After brief greetings from the members, the live started. The first song was "See you at Elementario! The first song was "Elementario de miae!", the ending theme song of the TV anime "Amagi Brilliant Park", which is a familiar song to the fans. The characters played by the four members are fairies who are in charge of "water," "fire," "wind," and "earth," so the song features cute choreography and lyrics inspired by the four elements. As soon as the live started, the audience cheered for BRILLIANT 4 by clapping and calling in unison, and thousands of fans became united and excited.

The second song was the coupling song "Souharashiki FUN! This song was sung by Aisaka, Mikami, Kurosawa, and Tsuda in turn, and the highlight of the song was the formation that changed several times during the song. Fans shouted along with the lyrics "Oh Yeah" and clapped along with the chorus, and the audience was as excited as the ending theme.

After the two songs, Flying Dog Yamashita-san, the emcee of the event, appeared on stage and began a mini talk corner. When asked how he felt about the live performance, Mr. Aisaka replied, "This is a shopping mall, right?　Is it safe to be so excited? (laugh)" When he expressed his impression of the heated venue, cheers mixed with laughter flew in the hall.
Then, after the four members in charge of solo singles, five of which were released on April 22, each introduced his or her solo single, the mini-game corner "BRILLIANT 4: Teamwork is Born! began.

This corner was a test of the cohesion that the members have cultivated since BRILLIANT4 was formed one year ago. The rule was that one of the members gave a question and the other three answered it on the flip side, and if all the members answered correctly, it was a success.

Aisaka, who was in charge of the first question, asked, "Muse is a serious and hardworking character, but I am also cautious and try to arrive at the work site how many minutes early?" The first question was posed by Ms. Aisaka. Mr. Mikami and Mr. Tsuda wrote "30 minutes before," but only Mr. Kurosawa wrote "5 minutes before. Aisaka-san commented, "Five minutes before is just barely enough time! (laugh)", which drew laughter from the audience.

The second question was from Kurosawa. Sylphy is an energetic character, but I love summer. What do you always want to do in the summer? But one of the members said, "It's too difficult! The members said, "It's too difficult! The clue was too easy: "We were just talking about it backstage," but only Tsuda-san commented, "I didn't hear that! The answer was "summer festival," but as I had feared, only Mr. Tsuda answered "suika wari," and not everyone got it right.

The third question was from Mikami-san, who asked, "What is it that Eori Mikami looks for in a man and a woman? The third question was "What does Eori Mikami look for in a man and a woman? Ms. Mikami said that she often says this on a regular basis, so all the members wrote the answer on the flip side. and wrote the answer on the flip. The result was that all the participants answered "glasses" correctly, showing a perfect teamwork.

The last questioner was Mr. Tsuda. After prefacing the question with a request that the participants answer without using the flip, Tsuda-san said, "Minami Tsuda often goes to karaoke. And when she gets into it, the way she holds the microphone becomes interesting. What kind of way is it? The question was posed. Each participant was asked to answer by holding a pen in place of the microphone. Mr. Aisaka's answer was to hold it between his pinky fingers, and Mr. Kurosawa and Ms. Mikami answered by holding the microphone upside down.
Then, before Tsuda-san could indicate his answer, Flying Dog Yamashita-san asked, "I guess you hold your pinky finger up.　The answer was, to Mr. Yamashita's surprise, the "pinky finger up," as he predicted.
The audience laughed out loud when Tsuda neatly closed the game corner by saying, "I didn't get along with the members, but I got along with Flying Dog Yamashita-san, which means that BRILLIANT4 will be safe in the future (laughs).

After the game corner was over, it was back to the live corner. The last song of the event was "+Universe," which was performed for the first time and is included in the character song collection. The members of BRILLIANT4 gave a crisp performance to the speedy song, and the fans cheered for BRILLIANT4 with all their might, as it was the last song of the event. The four members seemed to have enjoyed today's event very much, smiling and waving to the thousands of fans who had gathered, and bowing deeply to them. At the end of the event, the members of BRILLIANT4 thanked the fans in attendance.

Yuka Aisaka
Even after the anime has finished airing, I am happy to have the opportunity to perform our songs in front of everyone like this. I hope to have another event with BRILLIANT4. If we ever have an event, I will practice hard and sing my best, so please continue to support us.

Tomoyo Kurosawa
BRILLIANT4 is a unit born from "Amagi Brilliant Park". Each of us is in charge of a spirit whose motifs are "earth," "water," "fire," and "wind. As a unit of four people with such a connection to nature, it was fun to hold the event in such a wonderful venue with abundant greenery and blue skies. Although the anime has ended, there are so many people who support us, and we hope to see you again somewhere. Thank you very much.

Mikami Eori
Aren't our costumes cute? (laugh) I am really happy to be involved in "Amagi Brilliant Park," with its cute characters and costumes. With your support, we may be able to continue the work!　I look forward to seeing you again somewhere. Thank you very much for your time today.

Minami Tsuda
Did you all have a good time?　I am happy to be able to release character songs even after the "Amagi Brilliant Park" anime has finished airing, and also to be able to see the faces of fans like this. I think it was great that not only fans but also people who were shopping at Lazona Kawasaki got to know us today. I hope that those who stopped by to watch the show will become even a little bit interested in anime. I would like people to know that animation is very interesting. Thank you very much for your time today.
