A little bit early for the "Anime GaTarisu" Kuri-Pa! The student council and members of the Asagaya family joined in for a talk full of behind-the-scenes stories and a live performance of the theme song!

On Sunday, November 26, 2017, "Welcome to the Asagaya Family Christmas Party☆," a fan appreciation event for the original TV anime "AnimeGatariz," was held at Team Smile Toyosu PIT in Toyosu, Tokyo. Fourteen cast members and one artist and other gorgeous performers gathered for a Christmas party full of fun, including talk corners and a theme song live performance. Here is a report on the first event.

The performers were as follows

Kaede Hondo (Asagaya Minoai), Ayaka Sengi (Kamigusa Arisu), Nisako Tojo (Koenji Miko), Junta Terashima (Nakano Mitsuteru), Setsuo Ito (Musashisakai Mochi), Riyo Takahashi (Obata Yui), Inori Minase (Asagaya Maya), Asuka Nishi (Akabane Tsubaki), Natsumi Takamori (Osaki (Shobu Osaki), Misuke Takagi (Mari Toda), Kenta Zaimitsu (Shugo Asagaya), Ai Kakuma (Ai Asagaya), Shin Furukawa (Masato Gomon), Hironori Kondo (Neko Senpai), GARNiDELiA (sings the opening theme).

Talk corner where behind-the-scenes postrecording stories were revealed.

Before the show began, a staff talk show by Director Kenshiro Morii, Assistant Director Hiroshi Kubo, Series Composition by Mitsuki Hirota, Screenplay by Daisuke Tazawa, and Producer Hiroaki Takeuchi warmed up the audience before the party. Director Morii also mentioned that his only regret was that he could not do a compilation episode.

The party then opened with a live performance of "Good Luck Lilac" (TV version) by the voice actor unit GATALIS. Ms. Hondo, Ms. Sengoku, and Ms. Tojo appeared in their private Sakiganeko Gakuen High School uniforms and performed the song with cute choreography. They even recreated the characters with their hairstyles and ribbons, which got the party going right from the start.

The first corner was "Anime Gatari's" Gatari's, in which they talked about their works. Furukawa-san and Takahashi-san served as hosts, and the three groups were divided into three groups for the talk. Incidentally, Takahashi-san referred to Avan (the scene before the opening), where Yui is active, and revealed a behind-the-scenes story about a carefully calculated ad-lib in the "back of the knee" scene in episode 7, which was broadcast just before the event.

The first group was "Team BL Lover" consisting of Mr. Tojo, Ms. Terashima, and Mr. Ito.

Immediately, Mr. Terashima and Ms. Ito cuddled up to each other and offered their services. Ms. Tojo, who plays Miko, who seems to be overjoyed by such a rewarding scene, says of Miko's character, "At first she only showed her taciturn side, but recently I was happy to see her show her true nature, or rather her rotten side. Not only does she have glasses, big tits, and BL, but she also finds the human side of Miko attractive: "She has a bit of a bad personality and uses harsh words for Minoa.

Mr. Terashima, who plays Nakano-senpai, reveals his acting plan: "I tried to make him sound like a 'handsome character' that anime characters would talk like. Nakano-senpai is a fan of idol anime, so director Morii asked him to watch a certain school idol anime, and since Terashima-san was also into it, he was able to prepare perfectly.

Musashi Sakai lump, aka "Kaikai," a chuuni-sickness in full swing, was described as having a certain "mad scientist who jumps over the world line" look at the time of the audition. However, Ms. Ito says that she liked it when he showed more of his true colors, and that she took that aspect of his performance very seriously. Ms. Tojo explained her relationship with Mr. Nakano by using symbols that are easy to understand: "I would rather have a '+' than an 'x', so long as you get along with me. I'd rather have a "+" than an "x" in my relationship with Nakano-senpai.

After the talk, the audience was challenged to a mini-game in which they had to win a yakiniku ticket. The game was based on the scene in the second episode where flyers are distributed, and involved catching papers scattered from a stepladder.

Chorosa was the deciding factor for the student council president.

The second group, "Arisu & Student Council," consisted of Ms. Sengi, Ms. Nishi, Ms. Takamori, and Mr. Takagi, who took the stage. Incidentally, the Student Council members were making their first appearance at this event.

As for the relationship between Arisu, a young lady, and the student council, Sengoku-san pointed out a scene in which Arisu spends a large amount of club money due to differences in financial sense. When asked what Arisu thinks of the student council, she replied, "It's a nuisance (laughs). They complain about money," she said, expressing her true feelings. When asked what she thought of the student council, she replied, "They are a nuisance (laughs). It seems that Arisu was expecting Arisu to be a "prick," and Sengoku-san had a complicated expression on his face, saying, "I guess it comes out because she's the opposite (of me).

Ms. Nishi, who plays the role of Tsubaki, the student council president, recalled that she had auditioned for a different role and was surprised because she had never played an older sister or cool type before. When I asked her why she was chosen, she said, "Tsubaki has a bit of a coolness to her. She was told that "Tsubaki is a weak woman who has an opening somewhere. I won't mention whether Ms. Nishi herself is a chokoro or not at .......

As for Shobu, the vice president, Ms. Takamori said that the script gave the impression of a serious person. At first, there were no surprise marks (!) on his lines. When I said it in a serious tone, he directed me to "make it more idiotic. He said, "I didn't think too much about the distance and just added surprise marks to everything I said," and revealed that he flexibly changed his acting to complete Shobu.

Mari, played by Takagi, is the student council treasurer. I've never played a smart girl before, so I struggled a lot. （I hope I was able to bring out her smartness," she said with a laugh. Ms. Takagi also talks about her inner life, saying that Mari does not dislike anime, but rather "likes the chairman and does what he tells her to do. Shobu likes the chairman as well, and when Nishi heard that, he said, "Thank you," with a nonplussed expression on his face.

The mini-game was to draw Arisu's super talented butler "Sehasu" from memory. Nishi's illustration with "Sebasu" written all over his face like Hoichi without ears had a great impact, but Sengoku's legitimate illustration won the game.
