This is earphones! 3 years of experience! Report on the 2nd Anniversary LIVE "Moon World Travel Band" celebrating the

The Earphones is a voice-over unit created by Riyo Takahashi, Marika Takano, and Yuki Nagahisa. The voice actor unit Earphones, consisting of Riyo Takahashi, Marika Takano, and Yuki Nagahisa, was born as the embodiment of the voice actor unit in the TV anime "Sore wo Seiyu! Their 2nd anniversary live "Moon World Travel Band" was held at Tokyo Kinema Club on June 18, 2017. Here is a report on the daytime session!

Led by the opening video, the band members appeared on stage. Yes, this was the first time for Earphones to perform with a band.
The first song was the coupling song of the latest single, "Riso Kyo Monogatari", performed for the first time at the live. There was a sexy choreography of twisting their legs around the microphone stand, a song chosen to match the unique atmosphere of Kinema Club.
The next song was the title track of the single, "Isshoukai Goyoujin. The intro to the song was "Say! Hi! GO FIGHT!" at the introduction, the audience shouted in unison, and the song was followed by "Susume! Otowa Shoujo-tai".

The first talk part. The first part of the talk part was "Ee ee ee," and they gestured to the audience to change the color of their shiny blades, and when the venue turned yellow, they introduced themselves as "I'm Rie Rie Takahashi, the yellow girl! She introduced herself as "Rie Rie, Takahashi Rie, the yellow person in charge! Marika Takano and Yuki Nagaku followed suit, and the venue was enveloped in yellow, blue, and pink, in that order.

The next part was the "reason why we formed the group" and the second single "Sore ga Seiyu! to their debut single "Into Your Ears". This is a song that has probably been performed the most and is familiar to fans. That is why many of you may have strongly felt the band sound for the first time and the evolution of the band over the past two years.

Earphones is a unit that also shines with its elaborate formations on stage. I think there was a sense of regret that they were not able to showcase their strengths at the previous 1st anniversary live due to Mr. Takahashi's foot injury. However, after that, this time, the band was in the back and the stage was narrow in the back. The band was in the back and the stage was narrow in depth.

In addition, the fast-talking in the "That's a voice actor! was the theme of every release event at the time. was the theme of every release event at the time, but that was a long time ago. Now, he plays with nuances in the endings of words, turns his head at the moment he is about to say something, and adds a little something extra to the mix.

In the talk part after showing their growth, Takahashi looked back on their debut and said, "Two years ago...I think it was about three years ago," to which Takano added, "Fans said, 'I'm going to the 3rd anniversary live! I felt like it was the 3rd anniversary too. When Mr. Nagahisa said, "That's how rich the time was," the audience nodded their heads in agreement. It seems that for the fans, too, the two years were as intense as the "three-year experience.

The next song was "Magic of love," the most fantastic song of the Earphones. With elegant chairs and the magic book enhancing the atmosphere, the composer, Mr. Rui Nagai, appeared on the sub stage. He added a flowery touch with his guitar, which sounded like a particle beam of compressed energy in the midrange.

Next came the biggest surprise of the day. An announcement was made in the hall that "the first solo song by the Earphones will be performed for the first time!　The performance started immediately!

The song "Parallel Gallop" by Riyo Takahashi was based on the motif of a merry-go-round, and in terms of sound and choreography, it was inspired by the musical "Chicago," which was set during the Prohibition era, and also utilized the atmosphere of the Tokyo Kinema Club, which used to be a cabaret club. The obscene charm of the mix of art, vulgarity, and romance was richly expressed in the sound, which was a mixture of idol pops, musicals, and Showa-era swing songs, and especially in the right hand movements.

Marika Takano's "UNRURY COASTER" is a straightforward rock sound with a roller coaster motif. The voice of Marinka "Noise Beauty" has a natural and pleasant distortion component that allows it to come through in any sound without being overpowered by the instruments, a la Ringo Shiina. It is a perfect match for the band's sound. The physical ability of Marinka, who seems to be the strongest among the Earphones, was also dynamic on stage, proving the strength of "Marinka + Rock".

The last solo part was performed by Yuki Nagahisa. When Nagahisa beat the drum set up on the sub-stage as hard as she could, a china-like introduction was played. It was "Ial San Set," a song with a Ferris wheel motif. You can imagine the atmosphere of the song from its Chinese title and the beginning of the drumming. The song is probably exactly what you would expect. This is a fun solo song that fits Nagahisa's image, as the character she is in charge of wears a Chinese outfit, and Nagahisa herself has shown off a Chinese outfit at solo events.

These solo songs, which share the theme of "attraction," will be distributed on CD to premium ticket buyers after the show. We hope that more fans will have a chance to listen to these songs in the future.

Next came the dark part. They continued with "Yummy Yummy Party" from "Preliminarily Lost Ballad of Ours. The singers were dressed in the same devil costume that they had been wearing on the cover of the single and at the release event, but this time they had added long claws to their impressive horns to make them more complete!
At the release event, the Marinka-produced "Dekodashi Gakkyu" was born, and this time Ms. Nagahisa had evolved to "Dekodashi + Ponite". It seems that this was also produced by Marinka.

The live was coming to an end. She was "growing up! After the towel spinning in "Zenryoku Cinderella", the last song was "Sankitousen! The choreography for this song was "AKIBA".
The choreography for this song was created for the live scene of "Mania-zu" played by the three members in "AKIBA'S TRIP -THE ANIMATION-", and the anime look was the top priority. It was not made for humans to dance. However, it was reproduced!
Here is "Sankitousen!", one of the most catchy songs in the history of the Earphones. is a song included in the compilation album "AKIBA'S COLLECTION," but it will also be available for sale as a stand-alone song on distribution sites immediately after the live. Please check it out.

Of course, there were calls for an encore from the "Earphones. The three members appeared on stage to answer the call and made another surprise announcement.
The 2nd anniversary live, last year's 1st anniversary live, and the year before last's "Earphones vs Aice5" will be distributed on dAnime Store!
In addition, the final volume of the original doujinshi "Sore wo Seiyu! will reach its final volume at this summer's Comiket, the three members of the Earphones, Futaba, Ichigo, and Suzu, have announced the production of a new song! The final volume of "Sore wo Seiyu! Final Volume SPECIAL Ver." and will be on sale at Comiket.

From this point on, it was time for the last part of the show.

The song "Anata no Omi ni Plugin" was performed for the first time at the live, and it was the song "Earphones no Sudara bushi" that was inserted into the "Anata no Omi ni Plugin," a radio show-style performance interspersed with other songs. It is a cover of the Crazy Cats' classic song about a man who repeatedly fails at drinking, horse racing, and womanizing, saying, "I know I know, but I can't stop.
In the Earphones version, the lyrics are accompanied by a small play, but in the live performance, the song is even more powerful, with ad-libs that make the most of the characters. The music lover Ms. Takano played the role of "a woman who drinks too much and misses the last train (while talking about the joy of listening to music through earphones)," the money-grubbing Mr. Takahashi played "a man who laments after failing at a bet (ten rounds of gacha)," and Mr. Nagahisa, who for some reason tends to be in charge of the punch line, played "a man who gets rolled by a woman (Marinka)".

A commemorative photo was taken of all the performers on stage and the entire audience. Mr. Nagahisa said, "We were all able to perform well this year," Mr. Takano said, "I want Komaku-chan and the others to stay by my side," and Mr. Takahashi said, "I am really, really happy that we could celebrate the second anniversary next to each other even though we cannot necessarily stay together forever with our friends connected by our works. They are not always able to be together forever, but I am very, very happy to be able to celebrate the second anniversary next to them.

The last song was "Joyful No More," a reworking of famous phrases from classical music. This song, which brought joy to both the Earphones and their fans, brought the second anniversary live to a grand conclusion.
