Eiko-san" is a game information variety program broadcast on Fuji Television Network. The program explores hints for game development with "Mr. Eiko," a professional who is known by those in the know and who is gaining glory around the world. The show's MC and bar master is comedian Hidetaka Kano, an otaku who is into games, anime, manga, and SNS. His assistants are Miyu Tomita and Marina Yamada, both members of Kleissis.

Members of Kleissis show their special skills!

In addition to Tomita and Yamada, five members of Kleissis (Yuki Tanaka, Mari Takahashi, Ki Yamane, Yukiko Motoyoshi, and Yuki Kaneko) appeared as guests at the open recording of "Eiko-san", except for Tomita and Yamada, who were the program assistants. The details of the program will be broadcast on April 22.

The program featured the five guests, who talked about their auditions for Kleissis, what made them decide to become voice actors, and showed off their special skills. They also showed off their special skills.

When Tanaka-san, who is good at illustration, showed portraits of the members on the screen, Tomita-san, who is also good at illustration, praised them highly. Takahashi-san, who has been dancing since the 5th grade, Yamane-san, who has been cooking, and Motoyoshi-san, who plays the violin, actually performed on stage, and Kano-san was surprised at the high quality of their performances. Motoyoshi-san, by the way, is a graduate of a music college and seems to have a deep knowledge of music.

Ms. Kaneko, who enjoys cosplay, introduced cosplay photos. Speaking of cosplay, Yamada-san also enjoys the hobby, as she showed off her maid outfit on the day, so the two hit it off well together. We can look forward to seeing them perform together there as well.

The last part of the open recording was a live performance by Kleissis. They performed "Ark of promise," the theme song of "Arka Lust," for the first time. The lyrics, sung with the image of a bard, included keywords from the game such as "Ark," giving the audience the feeling that each of the seven divas was traveling through their own world.

The solo personalities, the layering in the heavy choruses, and the choreography were all wonderful, as if they were acting out their roles. Ms. Kano, who saw their performance for the first time, was amazed and was eager to learn not only the game but also the songs faster than anyone else as the "Arka Last" promotional ambassador.

Performances expressing their respective worldviews

After the open recording, Kleissis gave a solo live performance. This live performance will also be featured in the program, so be sure to check it out.

After a VTR introducing the characters, the seven members appeared on stage and performed "Decision Divergence" for the first time, with the A- and B-melodies in a low key and full of atmosphere, and the strong impact of the chorus. They drew everyone in not only with their singing voices but also with their eyes and facial expressions.

Then, she once again said that she would be in charge of the theme song for "Arka Last" and performed the song "Ark of promise". Her stage performance was reminiscent of the scenes from the game, and her final look was impressive as she looked up with her hands folded in front of her chest. The following song, "In the upside down world," was even more expressive than before, captivating everyone with the strength of the seven colors, each with their own unique characteristics.

During the MC, she explained that there were actually story image songs for each world appearing in "Arka Last" in the songs she had sung so far. The reason why there were many images of the end of the world and the end of the world was because of this.

Incidentally, the first song, "Decision Divergence," was performed by Akira (CV. Miyu Tomita), and "In the Upside Down World," by Mio (CV. Yukiko Motoyoshi) and Miu (CV. Yuki Kaneko), was based on their worlds. Hiro (CV. Ki Yamane) and Yoon (CV. Mari Takahashi) will be in charge of the songs, so they had their own requests.

The next song was "Aria of Redemption," a song by Sayuki (CV. Marina Yamada), sung wistfully and emotionally in mid-tempo, followed by "Another Sky Resonance," a story image song by Kasumi (CV. Yuki Tanaka). The combination of sadness and coolness on the stage made the audience feel so tight in their chests.

After the announcement, the seven members talked about their impressions of the day. They were enthusiastic about the fact that they had been keeping Kleissis' existence a secret until now, and that this was a new step for them, and that they would now like to convey their worldview to the audience.

Then, they performed "Sayonara no Kanata e no Kanata e (Beyond the Goodbye)" with such feelings in mind. During the song, the seven members looked at each other and laughed, showing not only the atmosphere of the song but also the close friendship and bond among the seven members. When the seven members formed a circle at the end of the song, some of them were in tears.

For encore, a video recording of Kleissis' past activities was shown on the screen, and the seven members reappeared wearing T-shirts of their respective theme colors. Before the encore song performance (......), Motoyoshi, whose birthday was April 3, was celebrated with a surprise.

The final song was "Kleissis Chaos," the title track of their first single, and they closed the live with a performance that was unmistakably Kleissis, with not only a stronger and more stable voice than when they first performed it almost a year ago, but also a wider range of sad and sexy expressions.
