Rena Hasegawa makes a shocking statement at her first "Evil Girl" event appearance: "I want to eat cardboard"! A talk show report by Koichiro Natsume (executive producer) and Reina Hasegawa (official Evil God Chan reporter), attended by many new Evil God Chan fans!

On June 21, 2019, a talk show featuring Koichiro Natsume (executive producer) and Rena Hasegawa (official Evil Girl reporter) was held at Shibuya Marui, which is currently holding the "Evil Girl Dropkick Exhibition Mini" to rave reviews.

The "Jyakami-chan Dropkick Exhibition Mini" was reported the other day, and this time we report on the talk show by Koichiro Natsume and Rena Hasegawa, which was held on the same floor. At the "Jyakami-chan Dropkick Exhibition Mini," a raffle was held for those who had spent more than 3,000 yen!

This was Hasegawa's first event in front of fans since "changing jobs in the animation industry" (according to Natsume's comment), and many of her fans, some of whom had recently joined the Evil Gods, were also in attendance.

Under such circumstances, Mr. Hasegawa and Ms. Natsume took the stage.

Perhaps still new to the anime scene, Ms. Hasegawa sometimes bit her comments due to nervousness, but even this was considered "cute! But even that was considered "cute! But even that was considered "cute!" and her talk skill to turn it around with, "Natsume-san is all you need! Her talk skill is also quite good.

When Natsume asked, "How many anime that started in April have you watched? Hasegawa answered, "Fifteen. Natsume sharply quipped, "I know you were busy with various things (at that time), but ......," and Hasegawa was at one point intimidated by Natsume's sharp quip (Incidentally, the anime she liked best this season was "August no Cinderella Nine" because she was a baseball girl). (Incidentally, her favorite anime of the season is "Cinderella Nine in August" because she was a baseball girl.)

) He also said that he learned for the first time on this stage that "Shunsuke Saito, who was the producer of "Black Butler" (which Mr. Hasegawa says he loves), is now a board member of Crocodile (the company to which Mr. Hasegawa belongs). The audience burst into laughter when he said, "You're in a great place!

Hasegawa's impression of Crocodile was that the mood was very welcoming from the initial interview stage, and that he has been going out to dinner and karaoke with the staff and senior voice actors frequently since he actually joined the company.

She is currently "studying voice acting," and has been observing the recording sessions for the second season of "Jyakami-chan," which has already started, and is learning the basics of voice acting, such as "applying the voice while adding expressions. Ms. Natsume prefaced her talk by saying, "It is not easy for voice actors to be provided with such a blessed opportunity," but she also commented that Ms. Hasegawa is working hard every day in strict lessons and that she has the qualities to begin with, while supporting her agency's efforts to provide her with a proper voice work site as soon as possible.

After the talk, the latest information on "Evil Girl" was released.

Announced this time was the title of the long-awaited second season. The second season of the anime, which is currently in production, will be called "Jyoshin-chan Drop Kick' (Dash). The original story is said to be based on a famous fighting game, which means that as the series continues, the words attached to the title will change to "Turbo," "Super," and "X." In honor of the original story, the title "Evil Girl Drop Kick" will be changed to "Evil Girl Dash. In honor of the original story, "Evil God-chan" will surely become a long-running title that will continue in the series for several decades!

Anyway, even Natsume-san, who says she can't remember long titles, drums up that the title is "easy to understand. Expectations for the second season of "Jyakami-chan" are growing even higher.

In addition, a drawing of the new characters who will appear in the second season was also unveiled for the first time!

It will be interesting to see how the new members, who are full of individuality, will perform.

The production pace is going well. The production pace is going well, and although they are still in the middle of drawing work, the full picture may be revealed at ...... in the not-too-distant future.

The talk show concluded with a Q&A session to answer questions from fans.

The audience was also excited to learn that "Natsume-san is an M person and Hasegawa-san is a S person," which at first glance did not seem to have anything to do with the work, and that "Hasegawa-san wants to live in a cardboard house like Pekora," which was a surprise to many.

He also said, "I want to eat cardboard," and "I hear cardboard tastes good with mayonnaise on it?" "Oh, if I eat cardboard, I'll have no place to live! Hasegawa threw one fastball after another. In response, Natsume commented, "I'm glad you want to be a character (and not just cosplay)." She also said that her first impression of Hasegawa was that she was "beautiful but natural" and "mature. In particular, Natsume, who says she usually lives by her intuition, said that she had the impression that Ms. Hasegawa "will probably grow as a voice actor in the future," which made her think that she would support her.

The event was lively to the end with the talk between the two, who are several dozen years apart in age, but who hit it off perfectly.

At the end of the event, information on future "Evil Girl" related events was announced at once! It seems that we will not be able to take our eyes off "Jyakami-chan Dropkick," which is gaining momentum toward its second season!

Reina Hasegawa's comment after the event

--How was your first interaction with fans since your graduation performance when you were an idol?

Hasegawa: It was the first time in a long time to see familiar faces, and I was a little relieved to see that they had followed me. Also, this was the first time for me to meet the Evil Gods, and I could tell by the look in their eyes that they were kind, so I hope we can get to know each other better in the future and make "Evil Gods-chan" more popular.

--During the talk event, Natsume-san said, "Crocodile listens to me when I say what I want to do." Is there anything you want to say now or anything you want to do?

Hasegawa: I would like to do another event with Natsume-san, and I would like to be more deeply involved in the work "Jyoshin-chan" -- simply put, I would like to appear as a voice!

--Hasegawa: By the way, which of the "Jyoshin-chan" characters would you like to play?

Hasegawa: Hmmm, I can't narrow it down. ...... Yurine is hard to choose, but I'd like to play Minos too. Then there is Bate! I'd like to play a character that comes out for a bit and makes you laugh.

--Thank you very much!
