Report on the stage greeting for "Graduation Pictures" and "Part 2: Hibiki-", the final part of Tamayura!　Collaboration game with Sanfrecce Hiroshima was also held

From the anime "Tamayura: Graduation Photos," here is a report on the stage greeting for "Part 2: Hibiki" that began screening on August 29 and the Sanfrecce Hiroshima collaboration game.

Set in Takehara City, Hiroshima Prefecture, the "Tamayura" series depicts the daily lives and modest dreams of high school student Sawatari Kaede, who loves photography, and the people around her, and was introduced in 2010 as the OVA "Tamayura," the first TV anime season "Tamayura: hitotose-" in October 2011, and the second TV anime season "Tamayura: Moagureshi" in July 2013. Tamayura ~Moagureshibu~" was broadcast in July 2013 and gained popularity as a daily healing animation. The final four-part work, "Tamayura: Graduation Photo," will be sequentially screened from April 2015.

Part 2: Hibiki" began screening on August 29, and a stage greeting and Sanfrecce Hiroshima collaboration game were held on the weekend. The event was a great success, especially in Hiroshima.

First, Shinjuku Piccadilly held a stage greeting on the opening day on August 29. Kana Asumi, Yuko Gitake, and director Junichi Sato took the stage to talk about their impressions and highlights of the film. They also commented on the subtitle of the film, "Part 3: Longing. Later, at the match between Sanfrecce Hiroshima and Nagoya Grampus at Edion Stadium Hiroshima in Hiroshima Prefecture, "Tamayura" seats and booths were displayed as part of the collaborative match. Despite the unfortunate rain, Hiroshima scored two goals in the first 10 minutes of the match, perhaps helped by the pre-match talk show in which Yuko Gitake and manager Junichi Sato gave encouragement. When the game was over, Hiroshima had won 5-2, showing their "Goddess of Victory" spirit following their previous collaboration.

On the following day, the 30th, a stage greeting was held at Hiroshima Wald 11 in Hiroshima Prefecture. Kana Asumi, Yuko Gitake, and director Junichi Sato took the stage to talk about their impressions of having a stage greeting in Hiroshima, the same place where the first part was held. During the second stage greeting, the mascot character of Sanfrecce Hiroshima, Sanche, surprised the audience with a bouquet of flowers to cheer them on. The audience laughed as he passed a bouquet of flowers to Asumi, who had become friends with Gimu through the collaborative match, but Gimu rushed past him and handed the bouquet to Asumi. At the end of the event, a commemorative photo was taken with the approximately 400 fans who had gathered for the event.

Part 3 will be released on November 28, and Part 4, the final chapter, on February 20, 2016.
