The first part of the event was a public recording, and the second part was a live performance by the voice actor vocal unit "Kleissis.

Akiba Research Institute covered both the first and second parts of the event. Let us start with a report on the first part, which is a must-see for game fans.

First, Kano-san and Tomita-san appeared on stage. Despite the show starting at 26:55 am, Mr. Kano was surprised to see the hall full of people!

The floor was buzzing when Mr. Yamada, who had been up since 5:00 a.m., appeared from among the audience. Incidentally, she had been standing by before the show began, but she was not noticed by the people around her. The unpredictable turn of events from the beginning raised expectations for what kind of announcements would be made again at .......

Next, people involved in the game "Arka Lust: The End of the World and the Fruit of the Diva" took the stage.

The speakers this time were Seiichi Akai (general producer), Junko Kono (scenario author and main character designer, representative works: "Gensou Suikoden," "Gensou Suikoden IV," "Time Hollow: Seeking the Stolen Past"), Osamu Komuta (game author, representative works: "Gensou Suikoden Tear Cry," "FRONTIER GATE FRONTIER GATE" series), Michiru Yamane (main BGM, representative works: "GENSOU SUIKODEN III, IV" and "Castlevania" series), Yuzo Ancient (battle BGM, representative works: "World Tree Labyrinth" series and "Wangan Midnight" series). And then there are seven others: Kenji Akabane, who voices one of the main characters, Crow, and Naomi Ozora, who plays one of the main characters, Shuka.

As for the staff, many game fans may have reacted immediately upon seeing the title. Ms. Kano was one of them, and her tension rose when she first saw the title. When he saw the movie that followed, he was impressed by the beautiful graphics and world view, saying, "I'm impressed that the images I just saw are on a smartphone.

In the midst of all this, the appeal points of this work were introduced.

The three main points of this work are as follows.

The theme of the game is destruction and creation, and the worldview is profound.

A game system that expresses an ensemble drama.

Music that expresses a fantastic worldview and realistic battles.

Regarding the first "worldview," Mr. Kono said, "The game takes place in seven worlds that seem to be coming to an end. The player, as a destroyer, is supposed to end the worlds and reset them correctly. He also said that each world is related to each other and that the same character has a different personality in each world. He said that he wants to portray different aspects of the characters through different ways of drawing.

He also said that smartphone games tend to go on and on without ending, but in this work, the story will be drawn to a proper and moving end.

Regarding the second game system, Mr. Komuta spoke about how he was careful to "express an ensemble drama in a smartphone game. The most distinctive feature of the game is the "Ark," which serves as the main characters' base of operations. The Ark develops as the number of friends increases, and stories that show the true faces of the characters are depicted. The number of characters who can join the Ark is huge, with more than 60 at the beginning of the game. Many of you may be surprised to learn that there are more than 60 characters in the initial game.

Mr. Akahane smiled and said, "As someone who has been playing the game for a long time, I feel like I'm in the right place.

As for the music, Mr. Yamane will be in charge of the opening, ending, and one song during the game, while Mr. Ancient will be in charge of the battle background music. According to Mr. Yamane, the key to the opening song is the sound of an instrument called the "Soul Sound Liar. For those who cannot imagine what kind of instrument it is, Mr. Yamane actually played the "Soul Sound Liar" on stage. The sound was similar to a harp, but the fantastic tone was different and captivated everyone's ears.

One of the battle BGMs was also performed. It was a melodious, hot, and melodious song, "This is the Ancient Clause! The melodious, hot, yet elegant sound is irresistible. Battle music is a staple of RPGs, so it is the music that everyone listens to the most. How do you make sure people don't get bored with it? I'm also conscious of how to keep the player in the mood for battle," he says.

All of the battle BGM was recorded live by professional musicians. Mr. Ancient also expressed his confidence in the "groove" of the music.

Next, the characters were introduced.

Akahane-san plays the main character, Crowe, whom the players meet first. Since he is the first main character that the player meets, I tried to make him easy to relate to," he said. Shuka, played by Ms. Ohsora, is a quick-tempered character who takes everything positively. She is an energetic girl who loves to eat and her favorite food is meat.

Ms. Akabane, who says she loves the staff's games, said she was more flustered than ever during the postrecording. It was the first time I had ever been in a studio where I was clearly not grounded," she said, confessing that she could not contain herself as a game fan.

Toward the end of the show, the members of " Kleissis," a vocal unit of voice actors, appeared on stage. Kleissis" is a vocal unit consisting of seven female voice actresses, including program assistants Miyu Tomita and Marina Yamada, Yuki Tanaka, Mari Takahashi, Ki Yamane, Yukiko Motoyoshi, and Yuki Kaneko.

On stage this time, the girls made three major announcements.

First, it was announced that the seven girls would appear as divas in "Arka Last: The Last World and the Diva's Fruit. Since the formation of "Kleissis," each member has had a character. But in what ways will these characters crossover with the other members? However, there was no mention of how the characters would crossover with the other members or in what ways they would be utilized. This is where the mystery was revealed.

Kleissis" had been selected to play the characters in the game from the very beginning of the band's formation. The divas who appear in the game will now perform in the real world as well, making them a unit that transcends two and three dimensions. The girls have released seven songs so far. Each of these songs is said to be about one of the seven worlds in which the game takes place.

When Ms. Kano was first informed of this trick on stage, she was surprised again, "You are doing a lot of things! Kano-san was surprised to hear of this trick for the first time on stage.

He also announced that "Kleissis" would also sing the theme song for the game. I'm happy to sing the theme song for a work," said Tomita, "I'm nervous. I feel responsible for expressing the world view of the work by the seven of us" (Tanaka).

The last major announcement was the start of accepting advance registrations "from this moment on. Mr. Akai commented, "We plan to release the game in the summer of 2019. The game is currently under development to rave reviews.

It seemed as if all the information had been announced at ......, but at the last minute, Mr. Akai announced a surprise: "Hidetaka Kano will become a publicity ambassador! However, at the last minute, Mr. Akai announced a surprise: "Hidetaka Kano has been appointed as a publicity ambassador! Kano himself was surprised by this announcement. He said he had felt a bit excluded because of all the things that had been prepared without his knowledge, but now he is a member of the "Arka-Last" project. I will do my best to make it a god game, so please support me! He ended the first part of the event by expressing his enthusiasm for the project.
