Stage Greeting for "ARIA The CREPUSCOLO" Opening Ceremony

On the 21st, a stage greeting was held in Tokyo to celebrate the opening of the new animation "ARIA The CREPUSCOLO," which is currently in theaters, with Ryo Hirohashi (Alice), Rina Sato (Athena), Ai Chino (Anya), Erino Hazuki (Tori), Chiwa Saito (Aika), Junichi Sato (General Director) and Takahiro Natori (Director) attending. The event was held at the TIFF. At the event, it was announced that the final chapter "ARIA The BENEDIZIONE" will be released in winter 2021, and a teaser visual was also unveiled. The visual depicts Aika and Akira facing each other and holding out a rose and a clover to each other under the caption, "My feelings for you were my beginning.


ARIA The CREPUSCOLO" is a completely new animation of the futuristic healing comic "ARIA" by Kozue Amano, first animated in 2005 as "ARIA The ANIMATION", followed by "The NATURAL" in 2006, "The OVA ~ARIETTA" in 2007, "The ORIGINATION" in 2008, and a completely new animation "ARIA The AVVENIRE" in 2015. This work marks the 15th anniversary of the TV animation broadcast, and "ARIA The BENEDIZIONE" (ARIA The BENEDIZIONE) will be the final chapter of Ao's curtain call.


Hirohashi took the stage holding a stuffed animal of President Maa, Hazuki holding President Aria, and Saito holding President Hime. In previous stage greetings, the MC delivered Aika's signature line, "No embarrassing lines! But this time, with Saito's presence, the MC gave a unique commentary on each cast member's "embarrassing comments" one after the other. Hirohashi said, "Today, we have a lucky guy, Chiwa-chan (laughs)," and added, "I accidentally cried (after watching this film). And this time, I can talk with Athena-san and sing with her, which is a miracle. I couldn't be happier!" She then made eye contact with Saito. Saito immediately made eye contact with her and said, "No embarrassing lines! Saito then made a tskkomi (a sharp rebuke). Sato, who plays Athena in the film, said, "I hope everyone can feel what the three of us (Tomoko Kawakami and Eri Kawai) are walking together. Also, as an ARIA fan, I feel that Athena's line "It's okay to take your time" is like she is saying to me.


Chino said that in this film, the "Amanchu! characters are portrayed as tourists visiting Neo Venezia. members make cameo appearances in the film, which made me very happy as an Amano-sensei fan. It made me feel as if I might grow wings and flutter away into the sky! No embarrassing lines! Thank you very much! My dream came true (laughs)," she said, delighted by Saito's tsukkomi. Hazuki looked back on the first time she read the script and said, "It was all so exciting, with the new characters and the three Tragettes, etc. As an ARIA fan, I thought I couldn't wait to be a part of it. That's what 'Amanchu! members' names were on it, so I was also happy that we could collaborate on 'ARIA,'" he said. Director Natori said, "I'm getting better at recreating Venice in my mind," and laughed, "I know (the atmosphere of Venice) and that's why I'm making it up as I go along.


Also during the event, a teaser visual for "ARIA The BENEDIZIONE," the final chapter, was unveiled. Saito, who plays Aika, the main character of Himeya, said with enthusiasm, "I can't do it lukewarmly (laugh)," and when he said, "I might cry a little," General Director Sato immediately grinned, "I'm going to make you cry. I have a senior colleague, Junko (Minagawa), who is the biggest crier in our company (laughs).


In closing, General Director Sato said, "I think that to fall in love with ARIA is to fall in love with yourself a little. I want to spread 'like' all over Japan." Saito again expressed his enthusiasm for the next production, to which Saito replied, "Now, everyone, please join me in a chorus of 'no embarrassing lines! No embarrassing lines! Saito closed the stage greeting by saying, "Now, everyone, let's sing along!
