Akiba Research Institute will report on the three days of the event.

Animelo Summer Live 2022 -Sparkle-" DAY2 Part 2

After a fanfare by the Anisama band's horn section "FIRE HORNS," the curtain rose on the special stage, and voice actress Satomi Akezaka began her live performance.

The 2nd Anisama Derby is about to start! the entire venue was dyed a beautiful turf green color (psyllium). The 12 Uma Musume who had entered the race then gave an all-out performance on the main stage.

With the long-awaited app service launched last year, the recognition and popularity of "Uma Musume Pretty Derby" has increased tremendously since the last time it took the stage (Anisama 2018). Even the author, who enjoys playing the game, was thrilled to see the link between the live images of the Uma Musume girls and the real-life stage.

Following the OP song "GIRLS' LEGEND U," the first anniversary song "We are DREAMERS! The Uma Musume girls sang the song side by side in a row. In the last part of the song, they used the whole stage to deliver a powerful song. The last song was of course the theme song "Umapyoi Densetsu" (Legend of Umapyoi)!　During the interlude, the actual performance asked all the Umamusume to give their comments, much to the delight of the trainers (audience).

It was a stage where everyone could get a "zukyun-dokyun" feeling for their beloved horses.

Natsuori Ishihara's stage started with "Cherish" (from the OP of "Shakushoku-san wa Younen Ghost ni Kurehaiteiru Ichi-Jinai") with the bass choppers blaring in the opening. OP). It may be a bit rare to hear her music performed live.

After showing a steady performance with her dancers, she sang her new song "Dreamy Chronicle" ("Isekai Kyokyaku" OP) with expressive vocals in the center of the stage. Her voice, elongated and straight, has the power to push someone's back.

Finally, she changed her costume and performed the dance tune "Abracada-Boo" (from "Kinzoku no Vermeille: Cliffside Magician Pushes Through the Magical World with the Strongest Evil" OP) in a sexy black costume. Her performance with her dancers is so perfect that you can't help but watch (and be sure to check out the music video!). ). The three songs were full of her charm, both in singing and dancing.

When Ms. Ishihara, a senior at the office, passed the baton to Ms. Miki Ito, a junior at the office, it seemed as if a fresh breeze blew through the venue.

Her vocal has a unique charm with a slightly sad nuance in her cool and refreshing voice. The song "Blue 100 Colors" is full of the good qualities of her voice. If you listen to it along with the OP video of the second season of the TV anime "Furumi-san wa Komusshi desu desu. During the MC, she talked about how happy she was to be a part of this special Anisama, saying "StylipS was what I wanted, too, so I was happy.

The next song she performed was "all yours," a song that expressed her feelings toward her fans. Everyone practiced clapping and sang the message "I will be your place! She sang the message, "I'll be where you are! She sings with a voice that is not only attractive but also expressive, and her facial expressions convey the emotion of the lyrics to the fullest extent. It was a stage that struck a chord with everyone.

Surprisingly, it was Eir Aoi who appeared on a trolley.

She sang "PHOENIX PRAYER" ("15th Anniversary Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion" 2nd Cool OP) while circling the venue. This was made possible after Saito P found a tweet at the last Anisama that he wanted to ride on a trolley. From there, they reached the special stage instead of the main stage and performed "HELLO HELLO HELLO" ("Cuckoo's Forgiveness" 2nd cool ED) in an acoustic arrangement. I was gripped by the guitar arpeggio and gentle singing voice at the start of the song, and since the original song is also a gentle country tune, this style was perfect for her. The audience was clapping along and enjoying her performance.

She greeted the audience by saying that she was celebrating her 10th anniversary as a solo artist and asked for their continued support in her 11th year, and ended with an acoustic arrangement of her debut song "MEMORIA" ("Fate/Zero" ED), which she sang 10 years ago. I could feel from her singing voice what she has accumulated, and it was very moving.

ReoNa showed off her intense rock stage presence. She is preparing to perform at the Nippon Budokan for the first time next year. Her spirited stage performance made us imagine what the atmosphere of a live performance on a big stage must be like.

The artist in the TV anime "Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale Online," Erza Kanzaki, has made a big difference in her life. She was the one who sang the singing part.

It is a song that gave me a reason to sing. It is an important song for me." She sang "Rea(s)oN" (Erza Kanzaki starring ReoNa). In the first half of the song, she herself played the acoustic guitar, and in the latter half of the song, the band joined in the performance. A video of Erza singing was also shown on the monitor. The turning point of the song is a strong ...... because it also adds the drama of the artist to the song. The song was very moving and resonated with the audience.

The last song performed was the latest song "Shall We Dance?" ("Shadow House 2nd Season" OP), sung as ReoNa feat. RAB also break-danced and performed with great power.

ZAQ, who has been dropping the coolest anime tie-up songs in a row in her 10th anniversary year, started the stage with "ASEED," the OP theme of the TV anime "Black★Rock Shooter DAWN FALL. As expected, her songs are appealing because of their high affinity with the anime while being musically advanced.

Next, she sang "Dance In The Game" (OP of "Welcome to the classroom of Jitsugen Shijo Shijo" 2nd Season) while playing the piano herself. The light Latin jazz groove made the audience dance.

Mikiba-san of Spira Spica, Teranishi-san and Masuda-san appeared on stage with their chunibi-style expressions. Mikiba told the audience, "When I think of 'Sparkle,' I think of ZAQ! and they were already thinking, "That's the song! The audience, who had already guessed everything, applauded. Yes, it is no exaggeration to say that ZAQ has made his name known all over the world with "Sparkling Daydream" ("Chuunibyou ga Koi ga Shitai!" OP)! OP), a song that has made ZAQ's name known around the world!　Teranishi-san and Masuda-san completely transformed into dancers and ended the stage with everyone striking the same pose as the heroine, Rokka Kotoyu.

GRANRODEO's stage started with e-ZUKA's guitar.

First, they performed the OP theme "Kamimohotokemo" against the backdrop of images from the TV anime "Saiyuki RELOAD -ZEROIN-. The stage was well organized with the supporting members who have been with the band for many years. KISHOW's high tone voice is amazing, and his shouts seem to be getting more powerful every year.

He sang "Treasure Pleasure" (OP of "Hanma Baki") with FIRE HORNS, who were very active in this Anisama. I could not help but be impressed by their vitality that never stopped evolving while keeping the rock style of the past.

KISHOW said emphatically, "If you thought summer was over after Koshien, we had Anisama! He then dropped "Can Do" (OP of "Kuroko's Basketball"), a song that perfectly fit the theme of this Anisama, "Youth!　The arrangement featuring FIRE HORNS and the cheerleading dancers had perfect affinity with the story of Koshien, and above all, it was a song that everyone could get excited about.

The last band to perform was FLOW, a band with many great songs that have left their mark in the history of anime songs, so there was no question that they were the best choice to take the stage.

The band started off with "COLORS" ("Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion" OP) as a greeting. After the stage was colorfully decorated, they showed us FLOW in their latest mode with "DICE," the OP theme of the TV anime "15th Anniversary Code Geass Lelouch of the Rebellion. It is typical of FLOW to link their music with "COLOR. I felt that the animation images playing in the background never fade away with the music.

FLOW, who said they entered their 20th year in July, excited the audience by announcing on stage that they would hold an anime-bound festival at Yokohama Arena on July 1, 2023, the 20th anniversary of their debut.

This song will be indispensable at that festival festival. The killer tune "GO! ("Naruto" OP), the audience jumped high many times and FLOW ran around the stage at full speed. A festival stage has to be gorgeous. So RAB also made an appearance here! Also on the special stage was MADKID, who had also expressed his admiration for them!　He created a big wave at the venue as is customary for FLOW, and MADKID and FLOW sang to each other during the show.

The final song "GOLD" ("BORUTO - BORUTO NARUTO NEXT GENERATIONS" OP) completely consumed the audience!　The entire Anisama cast was invited to join in the middle of the show, and they all jumped up and down in a big circle.

The second day of Anisama came to a close with the theme song "Sparkle," sung by all the performers.

The second day of Anisama was filled with excitement from the opening.

Although there were many songs performed, it was the longest performance of the three days. The artists were all so excited and loved the festival that they could not help but get the crowd going. It was a festival where one could lose track of time and keep the excitement going.
