Official Report】 （※敬称略略）
On October 15, the event to celebrate the release of Asakihana's 3rd single "Play the game", which will be released on November 8 (Wed.), was held at AKIHABARA Gamers main store event space in Tokyo.

Since this single is the OP theme song of the game "OCCULTIC;NINE", a stamp rally was held at all "9" locations, named after the work's name "Nine", to encourage people to participate in the campaign multiple times. The event is also a fun game in which participants can receive a special bromide depending on the number of times they participate.

On the first day of the campaign, the event consisted of a talk by 5pb.Records' PR representative and Asakana, a mini live performance, and an autograph session.

During the talk part, they talked about the fact that the recording of "Play the game" was actually done before the recording of the 2nd single "Edelwiss" and the "Asaka Special Tweakath" held the day after Asaka's 18th birthday event. The live part was a behind-the-scenes talk about the single, which could only be heard at this event.

During the live part, the audience decided one of the three songs to be sung by a majority vote, but since there were almost equal numbers of requests for two of the songs, they ended up choosing "Play the game" and "Kimi to Hajimari Monogatari" from the single and the TV anime " As a result, in addition to "Play the game" and "Kimi to Hajimari Monogatari," two songs from the single, "Play the game" and "Kimi to Hajimari Monogatari," the audience was treated to "Open your eyes," the ED theme for the TV anime "Occultic;Nine," and "Edelwiss," the ED theme for the TV anime "The Sentor's Trouble.

A total of 8 launch events will be held in Aichi, Mie, Gifu, and Tokyo, mainly in the Tokai area including Asakika's hometown Nagoya, so please be sure to attend these events.
