At the event, the voice actors showed their true colors through talk and karaoke live performances.

This time, we report on the evening session of the at-home event!

The talk part was filled with an at-home atmosphere.

The venue, Carutz Kawasaki, was packed to capacity! Amidst the fans of Hibiki voice actors, Amane Shindo, a 14-year-old rookie who has been a member of Hibiki since September of this year, gave a shadowy narration. As fans cheered her biting narration, the venue was already enveloped in a warm sense of unity, and the event finally got underway.

Beginning with Ms. Tachibanada as the main MC, Suzuko Mimori, Mirai Sasaki, Aimi, Ayasa Ito, Rimi Nishimoto, Yuka Ozaki, Aina Aiba, Risa Boki, and Hikaru Tono took the stage. All of them were dressed in their usual clothes, which was impressive.

The first half of the event was a talk variety program "Hibiki no Karasasagi" by the performers. The original topic was, of course, a famous talk variety show. The topic was "What you want to talk about at Hibiki Fan Thanksgiving," which was researched in advance by the performers.

What is the work of art that changed your life or drew you into otaku? Mr. Boushi talked about his roots in "Tutor Hitman Reborn!" and Mr. Aiba said, "Eva and ONE PICE!

Mimori also asked, "What did you have for dinner last night? Aiba suggested, "I want to do a scholastic achievement test! Aiba suggested, "I want to do an achievement test! I know you think I'm stupid or an idiot, but I'm not! But when his co-star revealed that he had failed the moped license test twice, everyone was surprised and burst into laughter! The audience laughed as if they were peeking into his backstage talk, as he talked about his private life.

Next up was the "Battle of the Teams for the Rewards" corner.

In this corner, the performers were divided into two teams, red and white, and battled over rewards.

In the roulette, "Team Y (Y stands for Young)" or the red team consisted of Ms. Tono, Ms. Ito, Ms. Boki, Ms. Aimi, and Ms. Sasaki. The white team consisted of Ms. Tachibanada, Ms. Mimori, Ms. Nishimoto, Ms. Ozaki, and Ms. Aiba, and they challenged each other to jump the big rope!

At first, it seemed that the youthful Team Y would succeed in jumping 25 times and win the competition, but surprisingly (?), the White Team jumped 38 times. However, surprisingly, the white team succeeded in jumping 38 times! The older team won the competition. After that, however, Ms. Tachibanada was unable to moderate the event for a while as she kept "huffing and puffing" and was very short of breath.

The audience laughed at her.

The next contest was the "fast-talking relay. If you are a voice actress, you can't avoid fast speech. In this game, the white group, which had more experienced members, seemed to have the upper hand, but Ms. Ozaki unexpectedly stalled! It took longer than expected, and the red team ended up winning this time. However, it should be noted that the sight of the cute and bashful Ms. Ozaki, or rather Ms. Ozapyua, made everyone smile!

The final game was the "spoon relay," in which ping pong balls were relayed to spoons. The game was close. The red team's anchor, Ms. Sasaki, looked like she was going to score a goal, but Ms. Tachibanada of the white team made an amazing catch-up. It seemed as if they would reach the goal at almost the same time, but Ms. Tachibana took a slight lead! Ms. Tachibanada led the white team to victory.

So, in the end, the white team was awarded the prize. Ms. Shindo appeared on stage as the presenter. Ms. Shindo-san, who was fresh but behaved in an imposing manner, was "astonished," said Ms. Tachibanada. Expectations are high for the activities of Hibiki's new talent.

An early year-end party! A Karaoke Stage

The second half of the event was a karaoke competition among the performers.

Sofas and tables were set up on the stage, and tambourines were provided to make it look like a karaoke box. Kaito Shoujo" (Momoiro Clover Z). The members called out to each other, "Ayasa! Aina! Ayasa! Aina!" Aiwa-san performed a sharp spinning kick at the lyrics of the song "Sobat" and had a fierce battle with Ito-san during the interlude, all of which were well worth seeing! The karaoke competition started off with a bang.

Next, Aimi-san and Mimori-san performed the song from the movie "Anna and the Snow Queen," titled "TODORAKE MITARAKEI" (Open the Door). Ms. Mimori played the role of Anna and Ms. Aimi played the role of Hans. The duet of Ms. Mimori, who has musical experience, and Ms. Aimi, who kept her voice low, sang their lines perfectly, almost like Takarazuka! Aimi says, "I thought maybe Mimorin could do Disney," but Aimi's singing voice is also really cool! The audience applauded their artistic skills.

The song "DESIRE" (by Akina Nakamori) performed by Ms. Sasaki and Ms. Tachibana captivated the audience with its adult appeal. This song was a request from Ms. Sasaki, who said, "If I am going to sing with Ms. Tachibana, I want to sing this song, which is her signature song," and she practiced the song while being taught how to be sexy. True to her words, the two sang with full-throated adult charm, and the co-stars responded with a chorus of "Haa, dokko! The co-hosts responded with a somewhat Showa-era groove. The middle part of the karaoke corner was filled with a somewhat Showa-era groove.

Next was "Sobakasu" (JUDY AND MARY) sung by Ms. Nishimoto and Mr. Tono. The song featured not only their energetic singing voices, but also a well-matched performance incorporating choreography from the stage performances they have performed on.

The last song was "Cherry" (Ai Otsuka) performed by Ozaki and Bouski. The two showed off their charms to the fullest in this girlish song. The audience joined in with the "One more time! The karaoke corner came to an end with the most exciting performance of the day.

The event came to an end with a raffle for presents.

The two newcomers, Tono and Boki, expressed their enthusiasm for their future activities, saying, "I have to do my best not to be outdone by my seniors, who are so dense. commented. In response, Mimori said, "Hibiki is a voice-over agency, so I would like to do a reading play this time. We are not comedians! We are not comedians!

Finally, Ms. Tachibanada, who served as the MC, said, "In 2009, I was the only one in the group, and Hibiki was an office that was created as an add-on to a radio company. Now there are 11 of us, and I feel like a mother. Hibiki has a really strong sense of family, so I am glad that we have such a warm family," she said, adding that she would continue to work hard "as a voice actor" with the entire office.

He concluded the event by saying, "We are the Hibiki family! and the event came to an end with a call out filled with family love.
