Sumire Uesaka, who has been a regular attendee of the event, appeared in a Chinese and Lolita style costume and excited the audience with "Bon ♡♡♡bon is his own ♡♡♡" etc. Touching on the lineup of Day 1, she excitedly said, "This is the night to purify the soul of the ancient nerds! and "It's a night to purify the souls of the ancient nerds!

Soichiro Hoshi, who released a mini-album last year to commemorate his 30th anniversary as a voice actor, performed on both days. He sang "Shining Tears," a staple of Kinspa, and then said, "I'm going! a staple of Kinspa, and also excited the audience with a famous line from the Gundam series, "I'm going!

Day 1 featured a succession of legendary voice actors/artists who could not be seen anywhere else: Chihiro Yonekura, who made her debut in 1996 with the opening theme song "Arashi no Naka Shine" for the OVA "Mobile Suit Gundam: Dai 08 MS Platoon," sang the same song in high spirits, and Suara also sang her debut song in 2006, the opening theme song for the TV anime "Utawarerumono," which was also released as her debut song. Suara sang "Yumesou Uta," the opening theme song for the TV anime "Utawarerumono," which was released in 2006 as her debut song. Akira Asakura sang "Dreams," the theme song for "Mobile Neon Genesis Gundam X," and other songs that anime fans have heard at least once before, making the fans hot.

Mariko Kunifuda, dressed in a miniskirt, performed her debut song from 1994! HI! She sang as well as she did back then. The audience applauded her overwhelming voice, which had set a milestone in 1997 when she became the first voice actress to perform at the Nippon Budokan. The audience was in a frenzy of applause. Masami Okui also appeared in a red dress and performed "Rinbu-revolution" and other songs. She overwhelmed the audience with her outstanding expressiveness and powerful singing.

Yukari Tamura, who had not participated in Kinspa since 2015. After she finished her own stage performance, including the groovy "You & Me," Yui Horie appeared on stage. Tamura and Horie's unit "Yamato Nadeshiko" performed the song "Koi no Tenshi Soaring Down". The audience was thrilled by the sight of Tamura and Horie singing the song while laughing and enjoying each other's company, making it a song that will be preserved for a long time.

Referring to the set list that featured many nostalgic songs, Hiroko Moriguchi commented, "I hope this is a rewarding night for all of you who have lived through so many things. She gently enveloped the audience with her receptive voice, including her signature song, "Ai wo Hoshi e Ai wo Komete," the opening theme song for "Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam.

Yoko Takahashi appeared on a gondola from the sky while singing "Thesis of the Cruel Angel," and her white costume made her look like a goddess descended from the sky. The stage with dancers was overwhelmingly powerful, and the audience cheered loudly to Takahashi's ever-evolving stage presence. The audience was also excited by her mischievous MC, as she greeted the audience by saying, "Good evening, I am KATSU of angela.

angela performed as the last performer of Day 1. They performed their debut song "Brilliant Road to Tomorrow" and other songs. During the popular song "Sidonia," the audience united as one, calling out, "Knights of Kinspa! the audience became one. The performance was hot, fun, and interesting. Even in a short time, the true essence of angela was demonstrated.

Kinspa is also attractive for its collaborative stages, and in Day 1, Shota Aoi and Hiroki Nanami charmed the audience with their overwhelming power as they sang "Reserved Roses" by Nana Mizuki and T.M.Revolution, switching the male and female parts. Uesaka sang "Tenshi no Yubikiri" with Horie, and both swayed their penlights in delight. Tamura and Mizuki also sang two songs from the "Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha" series, in which they have performed together.

Day 2

The top performer of Day 2 was the king of entertainers, Mamoru Miyano. He was surprised by the fact that he didn't move for 45 seconds after his appearance during "EXCITING! The audience called out his name, "Mamoru! and Miyano's call of "Come on! The lineup is going to knock everyone's socks off again today! Miyano's hot and exciting stage performance brought the audience together as one. In the collaboration stage, Miyano collaborated with Shota Aoi and Yuma Uchida on Miyano's songs "Kanon," "Shine," and "Orphee. The three are the three musketeers of King. It was somewhat funny to see the two junior members singing the songs of their seniors while feeling a little nervous.

Aimi, who had charmed the audience with her performance of "MAGICAL DESTROYER" sitting on the center stage, sang her latest song "Meritocracy" while playing the guitar. On the collaboration stage, Aimi performed with atsuko x Kanoerana the theme song of the anime "Senpai ga uuzai junpai no hanashi" "Anoing! San san week! The fun and flirty atmosphere that transcended the boundaries of voice actors, artists, and musicians enlivened the audience.

Also, Shoya Chiba, who just made his debut as a solo artist this year, performed "Blessing" while playing his own guitar. Kanoerana said, "Wow! So many people!" saji performed "Tsubasa," a song that "started us where we are now," while also sharing episodes from his previous band. Their emotionality spread to the audience. Hiroki Nanami performed "It's My Soul," his first anime tie-up song, against a backdrop of blazing flames, and the audience cheered every time they saw his beautiful yet fierce expression on the screen.

Day 2 featured many voice actors who will lead the next generation of character contents, singers, and Vsingers, and the lineup gave the audience a sense of "future" in contrast to the "history" of Day 1. In "Hypnosis Mike-Division Rap Battle- 3DCG LIVE From HYPED-UP 02," characters filled the screen. The audience cheered for the rap songs that were performed one after another.

The "Seven Charismatic Voice Actors" performed "Mechamecha Charisma" and "Charisma Jamboree. Their surreal and humorous performance was addictive.

The unit "RISE" from the anime "Extreme Hearts," featuring Ruriko Noguchi, Miho Okazaki, Kana Yuuki, Ayaka Fukuhara, and Arie Ozawa, all of whom have CVs, also made an appearance. The members stood on the center stage in costumes that recreated the live costumes from the anime and said, "We have been practicing for this day. They performed "I love you" and "SUNRISE (ver. RISE)," the ending theme song of the anime. Fans cheered and applauded the efforts of the five members.

Vsinger HACHI, who was also announced to be making her major label debut with King Records, performed from within a vision. Tsurushima Anna, whose true face is shrouded in mystery, looked happy and asked for claps as the audience turned pink.

On her solo stage, Miho Okazaki appeared through a door floating in the sky and performed "Kokoro Travel" and other songs. She looked nervous, saying, "This is my first time at Kinspa. Toward the end of the show, she surprised the audience with a collaboration with her idol Mizuki to perform "DISCOTHEQUE," the song that inspired her debut, and entertained the fans with her sharp dance moves.

Shota Aoi performed "Eclipse" and "EVOLVE," drawing the audience into his overwhelming worldview. He commented on how the event made him realize his position within the label, saying, "I always thought I was the youngest child, but when I realized I had a lot of younger brothers and sisters. He also threw kisses through the camera footage and asked for cheers for his long tones. He was also invited to join angela on stage to perform a collaboration of their song "Harurenochi Hallelujah! which was released last year.

He said, "Even though I'm still a chick, I now have a junior member." Yuma Uchida, who commented, "Please continue to connect our history together," charmed the fans with his powerful live performance, including singing "Hope" while lying on the stage. He sang "Hope" while lying down and charmed the fans with his powerful live performance. I was cheering "Hoaaa~" in the back of the stage because I love "Toradora! He also revealed his geekiness, saying, "I like 'Toradora! Yui Horie, who had made Uchida squeal with delight, performed with four dancers on a moving slide stage. Horie is one of the faces of the King, having charmed many fans with her "Yamato Nadeshiko" performance the day before.

Minase Inori, who has been well received on her own tour for her skillful use of visual images in her performances, also performed "Scrap Art" and "Aioi. Her performances of "Scrap Art" and "Iolite," for example, captivated the audience with their world view. She also surprised the audience by singing "Glorious Break" with Nana Mizuki on the collaboration stage. Minase sang the duet with Nana Mizuki, whom she adores so much that she has joined her fan club, with a nervous look on her face as she gave it her all. Mizuki's gentle gaze was also impressive, as if she was watching her daughter grow up.

The last performer of Day 2 was Nana Mizuki, who performed "METANOIA -Aufwachen Form-," to which the DJ called out to the audience to clap their hands. Her latest song "ADRENALIZED" was also performed, and the audience was further energized by the fire pillar and fire ball. He commented, "I hope that you will continue to kindle the spirit of anime and anisong lovers. The last song was "ETERNAL BLAZE," and the entire audience jumped up and down.

A total of 100 songs were performed for a total of 10 hours after the strongest opening act in history. They felt it would be sad to end the show like this, so they sang "Give a reason" together at the end of Day 1 and "Shangri-La" in Day 2, and jumped up and down together. Everyone in the venue sang in unison, and the song became the strongest of all. It was a two-day event that made me realize that something is being passed down from seniors to juniors.
