Who will win the gorgeous prizes?　KING of HALLOWEEEEN" competition

With Tetsuya Yanagihara of the comedy duo America Zarigani in charge of hosting, the event began with the cast performing Halloween-like dialogues along with the words "Happy Halloween," in reference to the event title.

The first event was the "KING of HALLOWEEEEN" competition with gorgeous prizes on the line. The winner would receive one of the following prizes: "Zagin Desi Sushi" (an industry term meaning "sushi in Ginza"), Halloween costume goods, or a pumpkin, and the cast members who wanted to eat sushi in Ginza engaged in a serious battle.

B-PROJECT", a quiz about "B-PROJECT" was first presented. The quiz was supposed to be a quiz contest, but somehow it turned into a battle of the blurbs.
In the latter five of the ten questions, each cast member was asked one question at a time, including a quiz by Ms. Yashiro on what she wanted to apologize to Mr. Hanae for being so friendly with her, a quiz by Mr. Chiba ranking the four cast members in the show as people he would like to make into ____, and a quiz by Mr. Yashiro on which "____" best fits. The quiz was a very exciting corner, with the participants making fun of the 10 questions without regard for the prizes.

The competition for the prizes was temporarily suspended at this point. Haruhi Teramitsu of KiLLER KiNG, Tatsuhiro Nome of MooNs, and Yuta Ashu of THRIVE appeared on the screen and performed a special live video to express their gratitude to their fans. The audience stood by with penlights ready to enjoy the show. the audience, who stood by with penlights, watched and cheered enthusiastically for THRIVE, KiLLER KiNG, MooNs, and Kitakore's motion-capture live video.

After such a special 2nd anniversary video, a special edition of Nico Live Radio "Gandara BB + 'DARK in the HALLOWEEEEN' Special" was held. Mr. Yashiro, who is currently serving as MC for #25, was asked what he thought of the program. When asked what he thought of the program, he said telepathically that Kazuki Kato, who plays Kenju Aizen and is also a personality on the show, was cool, which drew laughter from the audience.
In the "Gandara BB+" corner, the cast members answered the audience's questionnaires in the "Worries and Concerns to the Members" corner.
The questions included "What costume play do you want girls to wear on Halloween?", "When you fold down your seat on the Shinkansen, do you fold it down slowly but call out to the person behind you? The cast members kindly answered these three questions.

If they succeeded, they would receive gifts for their fans!　Challenge Project "HALLOWEEEEN CHALLEENGE

Next up was the second half of the "Challenge" with prizes up for grabs. The second half of the challenge was "If you are a top idol, it is natural that you should be popular with the ladies! The "motest" corner was held to find out which of the two choices in various situations would win the hearts of the women.
In this corner, the audience was asked to decide which of the two choices would make them happier, and the two questions were "What would you do if the food your girlfriend cooked for you for the first time was not delicious? The cast members thought seriously about each situation. It was interesting to see that in both cases, the majority chose the honest answer.

Before the announcement of the results of the confrontation corner, there was another exciting event for the fans. This was the "HALLOWEEEEN CHALLEEENGE" challenge, in which if you succeeded, you would receive a special marshmallow as a present for the fans gathered at the venue for the Halloween event.
The first challenge was to draw an illustration of a theme on a large piece of paper in 10 seconds. However, the picture he showed was unexpectedly "artist" level, and the second one was so bad that the original form of the picture could no longer be seen. The second time, the contestant was put last, but the "cute bunny" turned out to be a "horrifying bunny," and the audience burst into laughter.

Following the first challenge, which he managed to complete, the second challenge was "Three Count Pressure. The second challenge was to answer a simple question in three seconds, and again the second person, this time Mr. Yashiro, caused a stir. Following Hanae-san, who passed the first question without incident, Yashiro-san was asked to name a fish whose name begins with the letter "sa. She was then asked to name a fish whose name begins with the letter "sa," to which all the participants replied, "Shark skin! and was met with a round of "Why did you put 'skin' on it? As a result, the second challenge also failed prematurely, and another challenge was allowed out of pity. Under pressure to succeed or fail again, the final question to Mr. Chiba was "Yakiniku menu starting with 'ka'". While everyone else imagined "kalbi," Mr. Chiba answered cheerfully, "Kakuteki! The final question for Mr. Chiba was "What is the menu of yakiniku meat that starts with the letter 'ka'?

The points from the first round quiz corner and the second round "motest" were combined, and the winners were Hanae-san and Uemura-san, who earned 5 points. Mr. Okawa, the winner of the daytime session, had drawn a pumpkin, which meant that he still had a "zagin de shi shu" ticket left for the nighttime session, leaving the two of them with a chance to win it. The red, blue, and yellow boxes were prepared on the stage, and after much deliberation, the two selected the yellow box. After much deliberation, they chose the yellow box, and a catalog with the words "See See in Zagin" glittered from inside. The two winners of the gold prize were given a round of applause.

As the event, which was filled with laughter and cheers, was about to end, the cast expressed their gratitude to the fans and the event came to an end.
While the audience thought it was time to go to ......, the screen started showing images again. Then, the screen showed an announcement of the production of the 4th SINGLE and the decision to produce solo songs by the 14 members. The words "Special Announcement" appeared on the screen, and the audience was in an uproar. The audience was then excited to see the words "Sequel to the anime is going to be produced! the audience burst into loud cheers.

In the video shown in the special announcement, it was said that in addition to Kitakore, THRIVE, and MooNs, who have appeared in the anime so far, there were also glimpses of KiLLER KiNG, but the truth will surely become clear in the future.

With the announcement of the second season of the anime production, it seems unlikely that we will be able to take our eyes off of "B-PROJECT" in the future.
