Main cast members including Konomi Suzuki and Yukari Tamura presented their charms! Report on the "LOST SONG" Special Stage right before the broadcast [AnimeJapan 2018].

One of Japan's largest anime events, AnimeJapan 2018, was held at Tokyo Big Sight on March 24 (Sat.) and 25 (Sun.), 2018. Here we will report on the TV anime "LOST SONG" Special Stage held at the WHITE Stage on March 25 (Sun.), just before the broadcast.

The TV anime "LOST SONG" is a completely original work starring two major divas, Konomi Suzuki and Yukari Tamura, and will be distributed on Netflix from March 30, followed by broadcast on TOKYO MX1 and Sun TV from April 7 (and on TV Aichi, KBS Kyoto, and BS Fuji from April), BS Fuji). The stage for the upcoming broadcast will feature Konomi Suzuki (Lynn), Yukari Tamura (Finis), Misaki Kuno (Al), Ai Chino (Korte/Mel), and Yuto Suzuki (Ruud Bernstein). Ken Washizaki served as the MC.

First, a live performance of the opening theme song, "Sing it and there you are. Dressed in the bright red outfit she wears on the jacket of her new single, Konomi Suzuki powerfully performed the fast-paced number. She showed her emotions by putting her hands on her chest and covering her face, delivering her outstanding singing voice and feelings to everyone.

Next, MC Washizaki invited the cast members to participate in the "LOST SONG" presentation talk. Using a panel, the cast members talked about the highlights and attractions of the work, as well as recording episodes and behind-the-scenes stories.

Mr. Tamura said that he is the type of person who does not want to know what is going to happen before recording, so he asked the director not to tell him what was going to happen in this film. On the other hand, Konomi Suzuki, who was listening next to him, confessed that she knew all about the development of the story. She said that she had been told in secret in order to write the lyrics for the opening theme song. Everyone was surprised that she pretended to be unaware of the story on site.

Ms. Kuno presented the radio show "Konomi Suzuki and Misaki Kuno's Lost Song Radio". He appealed that the appeal of this radio is to hear Konomi Suzuki sing live, and Mr. Hiroto Suzuki and Ms. Chino also revealed episodes of their auditions. Mr. Yuto Suzuki initially took the role of Prince Henry, and conversely, Seiichiro Yamashita, who played Prince Henry, took the role of Rude.

They cannot say yet why Mr. Chino decided to play the two roles, but since it is an original work, we hope to see that on air. Ms. Chino also sang in the first anime song that Konomi Suzuki sang in, and she was happy to be able to work with Konomi Suzuki as a voice actor. She appealed to the audience to pay attention to her powerful acting as well as her singing.

The third PV was shown for the first time, and the performers could not hide their excitement at the glimpse of the epic story. The stage ended with a final word from each of the speakers, with Konomi Suzuki expressing her enthusiasm to grow together with Lynn.
