Rifle is Beautiful" is a manga by Salmiacchi, serialized in "Tonari no Young Jump", "Yanjan! Shonen Jump+. The story centers on Hikari Ogura, a first-year high school student who loves rifle shooting, and depicts the daily life of the Chidori High School shooting club. The idol unit "Life Ring 4," consisting of four voice actors who appear in the anime, was formed in conjunction with the decision to make an anime adaptation. As the official idol unit for the "Rifle is Beautiful" TV anime, Life Ring 4 has also been appointed as a publicity ambassador for the Japan Rifle Shooting Association.

The venue was packed with fans. The audience was so close that the members seemed to feel the passion of the fans once again. The height of the stage gave the audience a good view of the members, and Ms. Yamaki's braided hair was held in place with a hair clip in a Yukio-like coloring, which seemed to bring the visuals closer to the characters.

The opening number, starting with Machico's sweet and impressive solo, was "GO! GO! Life Ring 4!!!! The first number was a very impressive and well-received number, and it was a great surprise for me. To my surprise, the fans in the audience were firmly in the call for this song, which had just been performed live for the first time at the previous event. Here the four members greeted the audience, and Minami's greeting was particularly spirited.

Bright day, Stand up!" The three members of the group, lined up vertically behind Ms. Yamaki, walked to their standing positions at their own stride, and the three of them in turn took the center position behind Machico, who was facing back from the center of the stage, showing a wide variety of formations. At the end of the performance, each of the four members struck a shooting pose that showed their individuality.

The theme of the talk part was the personalities of the four. The four members pointed to the members that best fit the theme drawn from the box and talked about the theme. "Who seems to be good at screaming machines? Machico and Minami pointed out Kumada, saying that she seemed "fearless. Kumada said, "I'm surprisingly okay with screaming machines, but they are noisy. But they are noisy. "Of the four, only Machico, who is afraid of heights, was very uncomfortable with the scream machines.

The question "Which of the four members would look best with a rifle?" was answered with the answer "Hunting." The most popular question was "Who looks the best with a rifle among the members? Minami-san, who seems to be a hunter, was the most popular. Ms. Minami herself chose Machico, showing her maniacal point of view, saying, "I like the combination of the gun and the little girl.


In the question "Which of the members would be the most excited at the pool?" Kumada-san was the favorite for the "Who is the most likely to get excited in the pool?" question. According to Minami, "Because she is always smiling. On stage, Ms. Kumada still seems to be unable to hide her nervousness, but when she spends time with her friends, she seems to be a mood-maker full of youth and energy.

When asked, "Who among the members seems to have a clean room?" Minami showed her minimalist side, saying, "I don't like to keep too much stuff in my room. Ms. Yamaki said that she recently cleaned up her room because she felt threatened by the fact that she was becoming a character with a messy room.

The second half of the talk part was a corner to test the bond and teamwork of the four members. The four members were asked to come up with illustrations for the questions "What is the most Instagram-worthy food of the summer? The four answered with illustrations to such questions as "Instagram-worthy summer food" and "Who are the most popular people at the zoo? The first glimpse of Kumada's talent came when he drew a "panda" as a simple, fancy, mysterious creature. The climax was the answer to the question, "What was your favorite childhood treat? Kumada-san drew an illustration that looked like an omelette, and the audience responded warmly that it looked like an omelette! The audience responded warmly, "It looks like an omelette!" But when Kumada himself revealed that it was a hamburger steak, the venue was enveloped in a buzz of excitement.

The four who failed to get any correct answers, including the one that made them cry, were punished by being served "bitter tea," which is said to be the most bitter tea in the world. Surprisingly, the first reaction of the four was "Is it good? But later on, they were not so sure about the taste. However, a bad aftertaste followed later, causing the four to faint in agony at different times.

To close the event, they performed "GO! GO! Life Ring 4!!!!" once again. was performed. Before the mini live, there was the well-known call instruction corner. The audience became even more united from this point on, and the excitement increased. The event ended with Machico's hastily proposed "LIFE RING 4! 4!" proposed by Machico, the event ended with a chorus of "Life ring!
