Online dinner party with about 100 "Kaorisuto"! Kaori Maeda's official channel "Kaorin ga yuku! ~ King's Struggle Journal~" 8th report!

Kaori Maeda, a popular young voice actress who plays the role of Shizuku Sakurazaka in "Love Live! Kaori Maeda, a popular young voice actress active in high-profile productions including the role of Sakurazaka Shizuku in "Nijigasaki Gakuen School Idol Club," will be broadcasting on the official channel "Kaori-gan ga yuku: The King's Struggle Journal" on the "Nico Nico Channel" of niconico, one of Japan's largest video services! ~Kokuou Struggle Journal~"!

The 8th episode was distributed live from 9:00 p.m. on November 26, 2020.

In this program, Kaori Maeda, the "King" of the Kingdom of Kaorin, will be "showing herself worthy of being the King" to the viewers, the "citizens" of the Kingdom. The challenge is to "show up as a king" to the viewers, the "people," by taking on a variety of projects. The content of each challenge will be decided by the votes of the public using the Akiba Research Institute's voting function. The top-ranked theme will be implemented in the program, which is a "viewer-participation" type program!

This time, Kaorin met for the first time with a prototype of the national anthem and official program goods, enjoyed an online dinner party with "Kaoristo," and much more.

Kaorin appeared in a suit and tie following the results of a preliminary vote. With a mismatched crown on his head, the King of Japan suddenly made an impact on "Kaoristo"!

When the crown is removed, she looks like a student looking for a job, but she says, "I don't know when I last wore it. The King, who used to work part-time as a temp, used to wear this suit to hand out food samples and call out for model rooms.

This broadcast started with the continuation of the "making of the national anthem" that took place last time. Last time, "Magnificent!" Bear," "lady," "calm," "mad dog," and "RPG" were the images that were compiled, and this time a prototype version of the music was released based on these images.

The music was composed by Kenichi Shimura, a composer who is active in Russia as well as an orchestra conductor of game music. Kaorin can't hide her surprise at the unexpectedly "stiff" music.

The first song is a magnificent piece that could be played at the opening of an RPG, the second is a children's song with a "Kuma-san in the forest" flavor, the third is a Bon dance style song by Masaka, and the fourth is a straightforward piece reminiscent of the U.S. national anthem, all of which perfectly reflect the image of the game!

All of the songs were of a high level of perfection, but it was the second and third songs in particular that grabbed Kaorin's attention. Kaorin said that the reason was that "it seemed easy to call out to them," so she started to call out to them as she listened to the songs again. However, her call was "Alcohol! It was more like an entertainment at a banquet than a national anthem.

The "Kaoristo" members were asked to come up with a title for the song, but the kingdom element of the song almost disappeared. The lyrics of the song were decided to incorporate what had been done in the program so far. The "Kaoristo" wrote down one after another the memorable episodes from the past broadcasts. It was like a reconfirmation of the bond between Kaorin and "Kaoristo," which had been built up over the years, and it was very moving.

Next, a prototype of the program's original goods was shown to the public.

The prototypes, based on mascot characters drawn by Kaorin, included mug cups, T-shirts, key chains, umbrellas, and hug pillows. Kaorin said, "It would be nice to have a hug pillow with a picture of my motif," which I would love to have. We look forward to working with you!

In the second half of the pay-per-view program, an online dinner party was held with approximately 100 "Kaorisuto" who were selected by lottery.

At the dinner party, which started with a shot of Hepalyse, Orin mingled with the "Kaoristes" with snacks and drinks in hand. She looked like an office worker stopping by a bar on her way home from work.

Kaorin's hometown, Fukuoka Prefecture, and fans from overseas also attended the dinner party and seemed to be having a great time. I'm so lost. I want to talk to everyone," Kaorin said, enjoying talking with as many participants as possible and playing games with everyone.

Kaorin, completely satisfied with the event, said, "Let's do it again! and the broadcast ended with a promise of a next dinner party.

King Kaorin's comments after the broadcast!

─ ─ What are your impressions of this year's event?

Kaorin: First of all, I was surprised that I received the most votes for my suit! I was happy to be able to wear a suit on this occasion, as it had been sitting in the back of my closet for a long time. It made me nostalgic for when I used to wear it as a temp job!

───A prototype version of the national anthem has already been submitted, hasn't it?

Kaorin: I was surprised at how unique and gorgeous the music was! I was just thinking of a list of keywords, but I'm glad to see that you incorporated them so well. I'm really looking forward to seeing what kind of anthem will be created!

─ You also released the prototype of the original goods, didn't you?

Kaorin: I couldn't deny that the prototype goods looked like a collage of ...... (laughs), but I had no idea they would use my doodle! It was so unique and rather rare that I wanted ...... to have it in reverse!

However, as mentioned in your comments, I would like to add more variations, and I would also like to come up with a stylish design that is easy to use in private. I would also like to add some items that can be carried around, such as bromides and mobile batteries, which were requested, and some nice smelling alcohol (just for "Kaori") goods for hand sanitizer, ....... We would like to add various kinds of goods!

If you have any requests for such goods, please let us know! If you have any suggestions, please let us know!

The second half of the event was an online dinner party. How was your interaction with Kaoristo?

Kaorin: In these times, I haven't been able to meet everyone in person much this year, so I'm very glad that we were able to have this kind of exchange. The atmosphere of sharing the same time with everyone at "Kaoristo" was very warm and it was a wonderful drinking party. I was wearing a suit, so the picture was completely like a job interview. ...... I'm sorry for making you nervous by suddenly talking about the topic! (lol) I was happy to talk to everyone! I wish I could have talked more and more!

─ ─ Next time, it will be the last broadcast of the year. Please give us your enthusiasm!

Kaorin: I'm surprised at how quickly the year 2020 is already over ......! I wasn't able to interact directly with everyone this year, but I hope I was able to bring a little energy to you through the distribution and other means! Also, Kaorin Kingdom has allowed me to work on various new projects, and I think that my first crown program has become much more unique. I feel like I'm drinking almost every time! (Laughs)

It is thanks to all of you who support us that we have been able to do this program for so long. Thank you so much! Let's make the year-end broadcast another fun kingdom!
