Aina Suzuki sings and Jyakami-chan and Akiban people dance around! Anime song Bon Odori x "Jyakami-chan Drop Kick" at Kanda Myojin Noryo Matsuri was too hot!

Summer means festivals! Speaking of festivals, Bon Odori is the Bon dance! So the Kanda Myojin Noryo Festival, which has become an annual summer event in Akihabara, will be held from August 9 (Fri.) to 11 (Sun.), 2024. The first day of the festival was decorated with an ani-song Bon Odori dance.

The Kanda Myojin Noryo Festival began in 2016 as a summer festival featuring traditional Bon Odori dancing and food stalls. One of the main attractions of the festival is the "Anime Song Bon Dance" held in collaboration with character content.

This year, our own "Jyakami-chan Dropkick" was going to be part of the festivities, so of course Akiba Research Institute was there to see the event!

The anime song Bon Odori dance that started at around 5:00 p.m. on the 9th started with "Doraemon Ondo" (Doraemon) and "Sunshine Pikka Pikka Ondo" (Love Live! Sunshine! Sunshine!)! Sunshine!) and "Osomatsu-kun Ondo" (Osomatsu-kun). The participants, who filled the grounds of the temple, enjoyed the Bon dance to the choreography of Ukon Takafuji, a Japanese dancer who served as the main MC, and the members of the University of Tokyo Bon Dance Circle.

At this point, guests Yurie Kosakai, Ayane Takahashi, Asuka Ozaki, and Chiaki Omigawa appeared on the turret. The appearance of popular voice actors and idols only increased the excitement of the audience.
The excitement of the audience only increased with the appearance of popular voice actors and idols. (Dragon Ball Z) was played. The choreography was based on special moves from the anime, and it was impressive to see the foreign participants dancing happily.

After the audience was warmed up, Mr. Yanase, the advertising producer of "Jyakami-chan Dropkick" and Jyakami-chan Impact appeared on stage! There was a little trouble with the tail of "Jyakami-chan Impact" getting loose while he was on stage, but he managed to get up on the stage, so a commemorative photo was taken with him!

Next, a new song "Jyajin-chan Ondo" was performed with choreography. Yanase encouraged the audience by saying "If you can remember the choreography and dance well, Aina Suzuki (who plays the role of Evil God Girl and sings "Evil God Girl Ondo") might appear on stage! When Ms. Takafuji performed the choreography, the audience was quick to say, "That's impossible. ......

However, the audience was made up of well educated nerds. Once the practice began, I was surprised to see that many people were dancing at a fairly high level of reproducibility.

Seeing such a scene, Mr. Kosakai commented, "It's perfect! commented Ms. Kosakai. Aina Suzuki, dressed in a happi coat, appeared on stage as if guided by the call of "Evil God-chan~an," having received a pass! It is not often that you get to stand on a turret and sing, and it is not often that other people dance around while listening to you sing. Ms. Suzuki seemed happy to have such a rare opportunity, saying, "Thank you for giving me such a wonderful opportunity.

Yanase then took the opportunity to say, "This is the first time in the world that voice actors sing, stuffed animals dance, and fans dance! This is the first attempt of its kind in the world. Aina Suzuki sang a live "Evil Goddess Chan Ondo" to start the event. Ms. Suzuki is a talented singer who had won many folk song competitions before her debut as a voice actress. There was no way that the ondo sung by her would not be emo! While she sang with her fists firmly turned, she also included some performance elements that would enliven the audience, which she has cultivated through her live performance activities. It's as you'd expect! The audience responded to the choreography with melodic signs and "za za za za nas nas nas" poses that were typical of "Evil God Chan," and they joined in with "ah soere," "ah yosho," and "jasshidorodoro" to join in the chorus. The sense of togetherness was also tremendous.

I am sure I was not the only one who was in a trance-like state of excitement and exuberance that blew away the summer heat.

Everyone is great! Suzuki's words suggest that the finale of the anime song Bon Odori x "Evil God-chan" stage came amidst an indescribable sense of accomplishment and fulfillment.
Finally, information about the performance at "Animelo Summer Live (Anisama) 2024 -Stargazer-," an anime song festival to be held on September 1 (Sun.) at Saitama Super Arena, was announced on this occasion. It has already been announced that Aina Suzuki ( Evil God Girls: Sacrifice Summer) ,Himasa Omori (Yurine Hanazono),Miyu Kubota (Medusa),Chiaki Omigawa (Minos),Yurie Kosakai (Pekora),Liko Sasaki (Popolon) andMiharu Hanai (Rielle) will perform as "Evil God Girls: Sacrifice Summer". Riho Iida, who plays Persephone II, has been announced as an additional member.
S ince Ms. Iida, who will be appearing as a cast member of another production, was just there somewhere, everyone shouted "Rippy, congratulations! was shouted by everyone.

Bon Odori is great. I like "Jyakami-chan Drop Kick" too. It was a collaborative stage that made everyone happy.

Thesecond day of the Kanda Myojin Noryo Festival (Saturday, October 10) will feature the Chiyoda Ward Community Dance Federation, and the third day (Sunday, October 11) will feature a Bon dance performance by the Hamacho Ondo Preservation Society. Why don't you join the festival and make your summer memories!
