Official Report】 ※Titles omitted


The live event "Flying Dog 10th Anniversary Live - Inu Fest 2! The audience was excited by their performances, each of which was full of individuality. Each of them enlivened the venue with their unique performances.


The top performer, Minori Suzuki, started her live performance with her solo debut song "FEELING AROUND. She sang this song, which was the opening theme song for the ramen-themed TV anime "Ramen Daisuki Koizumi-san," while waving a green onion, an essential ingredient for ramen, and quickly won the hearts of the audience. Other songs included "I want to do something weird! a song with outlandish lyrics and tune, the girlish "Rewind," and the quiet ballad "Crosswalk," Suzuki sang a wide range of songs, which he said were chosen only by Flying Dog, which has released many different types of songs. The last song was the latest single "Damehadame," and then the audience thought that it was time to pass the baton to the next artist ......,

Next, I'd like to sing with my cute little angels!
I'd like to sing with cute little angels next! The special collaboration of six members covered Maaya Sakamoto's "Magic Number" to the delight of the audience.


The main cast of the TV anime "Watashi ni Tenshi ga Mukerita! The unit "Wataten☆5," formed by five members of the main cast of the TV anime "Watashi ni Tenshi ga Mukerita! They energetically performed four songs, including the opening theme "Carefree Angels" and the ending theme "Happy Happy Friends. Always smiling, singing and dancing with all their might, and their flirtatious mood during the MC, they were just like angels, spreading a lot of "cuteness" throughout the venue.


Mochimi Nishida, who just made her solo debut this summer with the mini-album "Girls are Dejlig," performed five songs from the album, including the lead song "Let's go full throttle! from the album, including the lead song "Full Throttle Let's Go! All of the songs had a unique world view and narrative, making the performance feel like a musical. They also performed "Nozomiru," after their nickname "Nozo! Miru! and "Miru!" to communicate with the fans in the audience. After their own performance, they sang "Silly-Go-Round" by FictionJunction YUUKA with Aimi Numakura as their second collaboration of the day. It was impressive to see her and Numakura holding hands with a relieved look on their faces after they successfully sang the song.


After gutsy performances of two more fast-paced rock numbers, "Climber's High!" and "My LIVE," Aimi Numakura turned to the MC and said, "I think you all gathered here because you love Flying Dog, so today I'd like to say 'wan wan! May I call you 'wan wan'?" She put on a soft face. She also overwhelmed the audience with her expressive power in "Hoshi no Furukurumachi" and "Sai -color-", showing many gaps in her live performance. The audience shouted "oh oh" during the last song, "HEY!" but she changed it to "wan wan" for the "Inu Fes version" and the audience enjoyed the sense of unity. The next song to be performed in collaboration with Nao Higashiyama was "Shouting", Numakura's debut song and the opening theme song for the TV anime "Magical Girl Raising Project". Higashiyama played the role of Snow White and Numakura played the role of Ripple in the same work, and the song was preceded by the lyrics

I'm still dreaming. I want to sing with you ...... Ripple!"
Snow White...... yeah, let's sing together!
The "dream duet," which had been realized over the past three years since the first broadcast of the TV anime, was a moving performance.


From the excitement of "Shout!" to the fresh breeze of "Kimi to Boku no Symphony," Nao Higashiyama's solo stage instantly changed the atmosphere of the venue. Higashiyama, who had been on her 1st live tour of 6 concerts in 5 locations from August to September, declared emphatically, "My summer will never end unless I finish this Inu Fest 2! she declared emphatically, "If I don't finish this Inu Fest 2! I love you! The red penlights were used as lights for "Touka no mani mani" to create the last memories of the summer with the many fans gathered at the venue. During "Sayonara Moratorium," the band took on the "adult challenge" that has become a customary part of the tour. The only time they failed on the tour, they took revenge on their guitar performance, and although it was a bit risky at times, they managed to pull it off. For the last song of this part, "Gunsei Infinity," a song written and composed by Higashiyama himself, was selected to close the entire live. The theme of the song was "Farewell, Reunion," and by singing it at the end of the show, the audience was promised that they would meet again someday.


For the encore, titled "Flying Dog Special Hit Medley," all the artists performed nonstop cover songs, passing the baton one by one, until they all gathered to sing "Interstellar Flight" by Ranka Lee = Ai Nakajima from "Macross F." The song was a bittersweet reminder of Flying Dog's 10-year history. The first day's performance came to a close as the audience cheered the 10-year history of Flying Dog.


Four groups performed on the 6th: JUNNA, Sumire Morohoshi, Kiyono Yasuno, and Rhodanthe*. The first day's performance was just as exciting as the first day's. The first performer on the second day, Rhodanthe*, was the top performer.


Rhodanthe*, the top performer on the second day, is a special unit formed by the voice actors who portray the main characters of the TV anime "Kiniro Mosaic," which began airing in July 2013. The original five members were Asuka Nishi, Manami Tanaka, Risa Taneda, Yumi Uchiyama, and Nao Higashiyama, but from 2019, Ayaka Suwa will join the group, making it a six-member group, and since they have not performed as Rhodanthe* since New Year's Day 2016, this will be their first live as a new unit. However, the six members performed so well together that the audience did not feel any difference at all, and from the opening of the show, the venue was filled with bright and cheerful flowers. The audience was treated to a bright and cheerful blossom from the very beginning of the song. Konnichiwa! and "Konnichiwa!" call-and-response during the songs, or creating big waves in the audience, Rhodanthe*'s live performance was full of playful spirit. The fun talk was still going strong, and they even said themselves, "We'll leave the emo parts to others and just bring smiles to the faces of the audience. After warming up the audience to the point of being too warm, the six sang a medley of Rhodanthe*'s most popular numbers and passed the baton to the second performer, Sumire Moroboshi.


Sumire Morohoshi, who has been active as a child actress since her childhood and has many representative works as a voice actress, will make her artist debut with Flying Dog with the mini-album "smile" to be released on October 30, 2019. Prior to its release, the audience was able to witness the historic moment of a live performance of a song from the album. As the title of the song suggests, Morohoshi appeared in all-white costume and could not hide his nervousness, but the audience was enveloped in a relaxed atmosphere as he gave his first-ever MC talk. She sang the first part of "Beautiful Flower" a cappella, showing such a high level of potential that it was hard to believe that this was her debut. Morohoshi's solo stage was over.


After her solo performance, Morohoshi collaborated with Kiyono Anno to cover Yui Makino's "Undine. The two appeared from both ends of the stage, walking up to each other and taking each other's hands, like good friends and sisters, a very heartwarming sight. Yasuno, who took the baton from Morohoshi, started her solo stage with "Rocket Beat," the new opening theme of "Card Captor Sakura Clear Card Arc. Her gentle and soft voice, of course, was a joy to listen to, but she also sang with a handkerchief in the air during "Tragedy is so terrible," took a commemorative photo with the audience in the background during "Wonder Shot" (and it was guitarist and banmouth Katsutoshi Kitagawa who took the picture!) ) and waving a hand-drawn illustrated flag during "Ikiru" (Live).


After singing "Ikiru," Yasuno left the stage. Immediately after that, the band members began to play the intro to the song, and the audience responded with cheers, which quickly increased the heat of the venue many times over. The silhouettes of two women in a "W" pose with their hands floated in the darkness. The fans at the venue went wild for the collaboration of Yasuno and JUNNA, members of Valkyrie, a tactical music unit from the TV anime "Macross Delta! The extremely rare collaboration of twin vocals by Miun and Kaname must have shaken the spirits of not only Valkyrie fans but also everyone present. Without a moment's pause, JUNNA took the stage for her live performance. The young diva overwhelmed the audience with her powerful and dynamic performance.


JUNNA, who debuted as the youngest diva in the "Macross" series, is now 19 years old. Although she is still the youngest performer in the two-day event, she was chosen to perform as the last performer. In her first major role in her life, she said enthusiastically, "I'm going to do my best to get everyone excited until the end! I will do my best so that everyone will be excited until the end! While she sang the parts that made the audience listen to her voice carefully, she also made the parts that were exciting. The last performance of the two-day event was a magnificent performance that was truly worthy of being the last performer of the day.


The encore was "Flying Dog Special Hit Medley" as on the first day. The comical choreography of Rhodanthe*'s "Kerotto March," and the angelic song "Tenshi no Uta" were also performed! and March" by Rhodanthe* with cute comical choreography, "Platinum" by Sumire Moroboshi whose angelic voice could be heard, "Uninstall" by Kiyono Anno who led the audience to the abyssal world, "Sagittarius☆9 PM Don't be late" by JUNNA who inherited the soul of the legendary diva, and finally "Sousei no Aquarion" with everyone singing together. The songs of Flying Dog, which have been loved for more than 10 years, will continue to be loved for decades and centuries to come.
