Info about Digimon Seekers, posted on Dengeki
(translated through google, link in source)
Details about the Web Novel:
The core content for following the story of "DIGIMON SEEKERS" is a series of web novels published on a special page on the Digimon Web.
The serialization is scheduled to start on April 3, 2023 (Monday), and will be updated every day in the first week, and once a week after that.
The amount of text is also planned to be about 60,000 characters or more for each chapter (about 2 general light novels in all chapters!), and the volume is enough to read.
Visual cuts (illustration) will be posted every time along with the update.
"DIGIMON SEEKERS" will be available in three languages: Japanese, English, and Simplified Chinese.
Miyuki Sawashiro, who is the voice of Gammamon in "Digimon Ghost Game", is in charge of reading aloud
STORY:
The Digital World—a land entirely unlike that which humans call the real world.
This cyberspace built upon the network is home to digital monsters known as Digimon.
The discovery of these AI lifeforms is both a blessing and a curse to human society, which relies on the network to manage everything in their world.
Eiji Nagasumi is 19 years old, a "loser" cracker who earns daily money with dangerous work related to the Digital World.
One day, Professor Ryusenji of the Tokyo Cyber University, entrusts Eiji with a Digimon Linker, the newest model of Digimon dock—along with a Digimon.
When Eiji meets Loogamon, a Wolf Digimon with a mysterious interface on its head, his life is changed completely.
JUDGE, a righteous hacker who hates crackers.
DIGIPOLICE, Investigative Unit Eleven of the Metropolitan Police Department's Cybercrimes Division whose mission is to stop Digimon crimes.
As well as SoC: Sons of Chaos, an extremist crack team led by legendary cracker TARTARUS...
Ryusenji sends Eiji to infiltrate and investigate SoC.
He discovers that they are planning a widescale cyberterror attack.
What is the special skill known as Mind Link? What are the answers to Loogamon's missing past and true specs?
Will Eiji come out on top in the Digital World and turn his life around...?
This is the beginning of a Digimon story steeped in chaos.
Characters:
Protagonist Eiji (Nagazumi Eiji): A young man who works as a freelance cracker to make a living. His encounter with Lugamon changed his way of life after that. He calls himself "Fang" as a handle name.
Leon: A young hacker with the handle name "Judge". He works as a vigilante to destroy crackers who commit digital crimes. He mind-links with Pulsemon as his partner.
Satsuki: Deputy leader of the Digimon Crime Countermeasures Team (commonly known as Digi-Tsu) in the 11th Investigation Section of the Cyber Crime Division of the Metropolitan Police Department's Community Safety Department. She has a passionate personality, and he speaks his mind straight and is even more abusive.
Yulin: Chief of the Digimon Crime Countermeasures Team (commonly known as Digi-Tsu) in the 11th Investigation Section of the Cyber Crime Division, Community Safety Department, Metropolitan Police Department. His excellent skills were bought and he was scouted by the Metropolitan Police Department.
Loogamon:
Level: Child
Type: Monster
Attribute: Virus
Special Moves: Howling Fire, Spiral Bite
Because it has an old-fashioned interface on its forehead, it is speculated that it may have been an experimental "prototype Digimon" before digimon were discovered.
It is said that the data of a demon wolf that appears in the mythology of the real world is embedded in the deepest part of its Digicore, and it sometimes shows violent behavior that is unmatched during its growth period.
At first glance, it looks like a cute puppy, but if you touch it carelessly, you will get a painful counterattack.
It has a tendency to primarily recognize beings that can control itself, and although it is difficult to tame, it can be a reliable partner if a relationship of trust can be established.
Its Special Moves are "Howling Fire", which shoots flames imbued with magical power from its mouth, and "Spiral Bite", in which it bites and rotates with its sharp fangs.
Live Action Trailer:
youtube
Based on the concept of "enjoying the same images worldwide", it is made with a movie trailer image in mind.
Katsuta Hanaya, who is also popular as a YouTuber, plays the role of the main character, Eiji, in the live-action video.
a new trailer video will be released on April 3rd.

Post-Apocalyptic Action Explodes in Rust-Eater Bisco TV Anime Trailer
An action-packed new preview video (below), the opening and ending theme song performers, and the Japanese TV schedule have all been revealed for Rust-Eater Bisco (known as Sabikui Bisco in Japan), an upcoming TV anime based on the series of post-apocalyptic science fiction action light novels written by Shinji Cobkubo and illustrated by K Akagishi and mocha about a wild-tempered young man on a quest to save the world from a rusty fate.
The opening theme song, entitled "Kaze no Oto sae Kikoenai" ("I Can't Even Hear the Sound of the Wind"), is performed by JUNNA. The ending theme, entitled "Houkou" ("Howl"), is performed in character by Bisco Akaboshi (CV: Ryota Suzuki) and Milo Nekoyanagi (CV: Natsuki Hanae).
youtube
The original Rust-Eater Bisco light novels are published in Japan by ASCII Media Works (a division of KADOKAWA) under their Dengeki Bunko imprint, and an English language version is also in-development from Yen Press, who describe the story of the series as follows:
In the far future, a disaster known as the “Rusty Wind” has transformed the majority of Japan into a barren desert and left civilization in tatters. After his teacher falls prey to the rust, the roguish Bisco Akahoshi embarks on journey through the sandy wastes to obtain a mushroom known only as the Rust Eater, rumored to cure the ailment. Together with the dashing young doctor Milo, the pair will have to contend with the unforgiving environment and their fellow wanderers in order to make it back alive.
The Rust-Eater Bisco TV anime is directed by Atsushi Ikariya and features animation production by OZ. The series will broadcast in Japan according to the following TV schedule:
TOKYO MX: every Monday during the 24:30 time slot beginning on January 10, 2022.
Yomiuri Telecasting Corporation: every Monday during the 25:59 time slot beginning on January 10, 2022.
BS11: every Monday during the 24:30 time slot beginning on January 12, 2022.
Please note that some Japanese TV schedules count early-morning programming as late-night programming for the previous day, so for example the 24:30 time slot on Monday evening is actually on Tuesday morning at 12:30am JST.

What the Heck is Final Fantasy XV for Google Stadia?
Yesterday, Square Enix announced Final Fantasy XV for Google Stadia with “four brand-new Crazy Challenges.” Unfortunately, official information was scarce at the time.
However, with Dengeki, Game Watch, and Square Enix finally putting out official information, WOI will walk you through everything we know about the Final Fantasy XV Google Stadia version.
👇👇 Read more under the cut! 👇👇
What is Stadia?
If you didn’t hear the news since March 2019, Stadia is Google’s new cloud gaming service for the Chrome browser, Chromecast, and Pixel devices.
Currently, Stadia can only be played through it’s Founder’s or Premier Edition, priced at 129 USD each.
There is also a subscription service, Stadia Pro, which is free to all Founder’s and Premier Edition buyers for three months. In 2020, Stadia Pro will be 9.99 USD per month for all. Stadia Pro is not required to use Stadia, but it will come with 4K resolution, surround sound, and free and discounted games.
Final Fantasy XV must be purchased in addition to Stadia Pro. The price is 39.99 USD, but Stadia Pro subscribers can buy it for 25% off.
Stadia is available within 14 countries: United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Ireland, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and Finland. More countries will be announced through 2020.
What Comes with the FFXV Stadia Edition?
The Stadia version of Final Fantasy XV is essentially the Royal Edition with Episode Ardyn and the “Crazy Challenge”:
Final Fantasy XV (base game)
Royal Pack
Episode Gladiolus
Episode Prompto
Episode Ignis
Episode Ardyn
Multiplayer: Comrades
Booster Pack +
Holiday Pack +
Bonus items (weapons, Regalia car skins and item sets)
Crazy challenge
The Moogle Chocobo Carnival and Assassin’s Festival are not included.
Furthermore, Comrades will not be cross-play with the PlayStation, Xbox, or Windows Edition (PC) and instead have its own server.
Curiously, Square Enix specifically states that the Stadia version is the Royal Edition instead of the Windows Edition. This could mean the Avatara System, Official Treasures, and User Treasures as well as mods will not be in the Stadia version. We will update everyone if we learn more.
What is the Crazy Challenge Pack?
The Crazy Challenge is an additional mode for Final Fantasy XV available from the Title Menu. Each mode has varying difficulties, such as item or equipment restrictions or status effects cast on the player.
The sub-modes include:
Challenge Rally
Expert Duel
Endless Magitek Armor
Magna Flight
The Challenge Rally are more Regalia Type-D races, similar to those in the Royal Pack.
Expert Duel are additional, challenging fights with bosses that were previously locked to other DLC, including Multiplayer: Comrades.
Endless Magitek Armor are, what we assume, Magitek Exosuits without a time limit. Because this was not stated as a separate item for the main game, we assume this is part of the additional mode.
Magna Flight are challenges involving the Regalia Type-F.
Based on what we’ve seen and what’s been stated, Crazy Challenge is not the main quest and its side quests with a hard mode. Instead, it appears to be akin to Timed Quests.
Will Consoles and PC Get the Crazy Challenge Pack?
Nothing has been stated that the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Steam, Origin, or Microsoft versions of Final Fantasy XV will receive the Crazy Challenge Pack. In fact, the official website says “New feature for Stadia Version.”
While this doesn’t use the words “exclusive,” fewer publishers have been using that word because it can be legally binding and, nefariously, keeps fans on the hook that it will one day be released for everyone.
Furthermore, the last time we saw something like this is with the Avatara System. For the Avatara System, Square Enix stated “new exciting updates that have arrived for FINAL FANTASY XV WINDOWS EDITION.” They did not use the term “exclusive” nor did they specifically confirm it’s only for PC. Many assumed that the Avatara system will be coming to consoles. However, 15 months later (8 months since active development has ceased), consoles are still left in the cold.
Is Final Fantasy XV Back in Development?
Finally, the Crazy Challenge pack does not mean that Final Fantasy XV is in active development. The port (”Vulkan on Luminous Engine”) could have been finished before development ended in March 2019, or could have been done by a team other than Business Division 2 or Luminous Productions, such as an third-party contractor.
Furthermore, WOI has not seen any development of Final Fantasy XV on Steam Database, a web tool that tracks when versions of Final Fantasy XV is updated for Steam, including development and quality assurance versions. If an update is coming, we usually see pre-release versions months in advance. However, there has been no development since the last executable update in May 2019.
Does this mean that Final Fantasy XV will never get an update? Of course not! If you want more updates for the console and Windows Edition versions, contact Square Enix and make your voice heard.
If the demand (and money) outweighs the risk, a good business will happily oblige.

About Sword Art Online Alicization War of Underworld:
“And so the grand finale of the Alicization arc begins…”
The final load test… The war between the Human Empire and the Dark Territory has engulfed Underworld entirely. The battle has shifted course with the Dark Territory army led by Gabriel, who seeks to capture Alice, the Priestess of Light, in their fight against Asuna and the Human Empire forces fighting to save Underworld.
As Kirito’s consciousness remains buried in a deep sleep, Gabriel, standing in as the Dark God Vecta, has recruited thousands of American players to log in to the Underworld to annihilate the Human Empire forces.
In this great war, the stakes are not only the Underworld’s continued existence, but also the bottom-up artificial intelligence, the ultimate AI, and even the very future of mankind!
Though he has yet to awaken, only one man holds the fate of this world: the Black Swordsman.

Assault Lily Wunder Translation Finished
"We worked together, all of us, and fought for this miracle to happen. And that's why we aren't going to let a single person die."
The fifth and final chapter of Assault Lily Wunder, "What Remains of the Miracle", is now fully translated into English including the extra character and CHARM profiles.
In this chapter, the Second, Third and Fifth Divisions—28 Lilies in total—finally confront the nestless Ultra that's brought ruin to Odaiba. Their struggle isn't over and there are challenges left for them to surmount, but you already know how this story ends, don't you? Spoiler: it ends with an adorable hug.
Read it on Dynasty Scans, or on the Assault Lily Wiki (dark mode available.)
If you know Japanese, you can also read the original chapters on Dengeki Hobby Web.
Merry Christmas! Whether you've been following the chapters as they release, or waiting for the whole novel to be translated, I hope you enjoy the read!

I’m using two different online translators (and yes, Google Translate sometimes helps) and I think I’m getting the full gist about the story or concept behind Hypnosis Microphone:
Wars based in army forces have been erradicated. Weapons have been replaced by something called “Hypnosis Microphone”, a special microphone that can interfere the spirit of the humans. By singing lyrics through it, it can act and affect a person’s sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves through various states. Words give power. The name of the battle for their prestige now is a “territory battle”.
(Not 100% sure on this interpretation of mine, btw... the text translated and interpreted was provided from Dengeki Online)
Basically is an elegant and elaborate way to say “yes, rap battles are basically this through singing instead of using weapons”. But, further than that... it makes somewhat sense.
The official channel of the project released as a PV the first drama track of the Buster Bros.!!! single and it kinda gave me this vibe that the rap of each sibling, if used appropiately, can affect them somehow instead of just saying “wow, you are really good!” (Jiro and Saburo were bickering their older brother for some... reason I cannot fully tell :|c, SO... rapping happens...). There’s obvious shady stuff behind the Hypnosis Mic, for sure... but I also believe the story is going to further develop with each division’s released drama tracks.
#kao's ramblings#i wish there was a more correct interpretation of this tho#hypnosismic#hypnosis microphone#i'm probably wrong here#too early to tell from my part

Toradora! 15th Anniversary Celebrations Continue with Special PV
The year 2022 is the year of the tiger, and the 15th anniversary celebrations for Toradora!, a light novel series written by Yuyuko Takemiya and illustrated by Yasu about a pair of high school misfits who form an unlikely alliance for the sake of romance, are continuing with a special promotional video and a line of original character goods.
The PV (below) features actors Yui Horie and Rie Kugimiya reprising their roles as Minori Kushieda and Taiga Aisaka, respectively. It also includes the song "Orange", the second ending theme for the Toradora! TV anime, which is performed in-character by Taiga Aisaka (CV: Rie Kugimiya), Minori Kushieda (CV: Yui Horie), and Ami Kawashima (CV: Eri Kitamura).
youtube
The original Toradora! light novels are published in Japan by ASCII Media Works (a division of KADOKAWA) under their Dengeki Bunko imprint, and an English language version is also available from Seven Seas Entertainment. Crunchyroll currently streams the 2008 - 2009 Toradora! TV anime, and describes the story as follows:
It’s Ryuji’s first day as a junior in high school and it seems as if things are looking up. He gets to sit in between his only friend, Yusaku, and, more importantly, the girl he’s secretly crushing on, Minori Kushieda. But just when he thinks the stars are aligned in his favor, he unwittingly crosses the most feared girl in school, Taiga Aisaku, making her onto his arch enemy. To top it off, Taiga has moved in right next door to Ryuji and happens to be Minori’s best friend! Can this school year possibly get any worse?!
The Toradora! TV anime is directed by Tatsuyuki Nagai and features animation production by J.C. Staff. In addition to the special illustration and PV above, the 15 anniversary celebrations for Toradora! will also include the release of original character goods in Japan - including art prints, hoodies, wallscroll tapestries, and tea cup sets - beginning on March 26, 2022, through venues such as Dengekiya, the Kadokawa Store, etc.

Aqours 2nd Live Tour: Pre-Tour Cast Q&A [EN Translation]
In the September 2017 issue of Dengeki G's Magazine, each of the Aqours cast was interviewed on their thoughts about the 2nd Live Tour, with a question on each location (Nagoya, Kobe, Saitama) as well as one on the tour as a whole.
Here's my attempt at translating their answers; let me know if you have any errors or suggestions to report. (I was half-asleep on a plane while translating parts of this...)
If you need a refresher, their 2nd Live Tour begins this Saturday:
8/5, 8/6: Nagoya
8/19, 8/20: Kobe
9/29, 9/30: Saitama
I'll be in Nagoya (and Saitama) cheering them on, so I wanted to get this out before their show on Saturday. I’m glad that I’ve gotten to see Aqours come this far, and I'm hyped to see what they have in store for this tour!
Anju Inami (Anchan) as Chika Takami
A1: Impression of Nagoya
This 2nd Live Tour is my second time in Nagoya! The first time I went to Nagoya was in November 2015, for the talk and meet-and-greet event celebrating the release of our first single, "Aqours Extracurricular Activities: Journey of Greetings ~DOKI-DOKI SUNSHINE!!~". We split up by our school year groups, and us three 2nd years went to Nagoya back then. I'm very happy that this time, all nine of us can come back like this! ♪
A2: Impression of Kobe
It's my first time in Kobe!! So the first thing that comes to mind when you ask is Kobe beef. After that, the name of the venue is "World Memorial Hall", so I wonder "what kind of amazing venue could this be?". I've been excited about visiting this new place!
A3: Impression of Saitama
This is the second time I've been to the performance venue, the MetLife Dome! The first time was about four years ago, when I went to see one of my favorite artists perform. To think that on my next visit, it'd be me standing on that stage... it didn't even cross my mind as a possibility, so I'm very surprised!
A4: Message for Everyone ♪
On this 2nd Live Tour, I'm super happy that we can visit all these places! Really, it's thanks to everyone who has been so kind as to cheer us on. With a smile like Chika's, shining as brightly as the sun, I want to say to everyone "thank you" and "from here on"! Please look forward to it!!
Rikako Aida (Rikyako) as Riko Sakurauchi
A1: Impression of Nagoya
For Nagoya, as one might expect, I have a strong impression from the 2nd years' talk and meet-and-greet event in 2015. In the 2nd years' group, we went around eating kushikatsu [TL: various fried foods on skewers], visiting Nagoya Castle, and taking pictures of us posing like Shachihoko [TL: a mythical carp; there’s a statue at Nagoya Castle] (laugh). Being able to come back and perform in this memory-filled Nagoya brings me a lot of joy!
A2: Impression of Kobe
This is the first time in my life that I've been to Kobe, so it's full of nothing but unknowns for me. All of it will be fresh to me, so whatever happens, I feel like I'll be able to have a good time (laugh).
A3: Impression of Saitama
Saitama prefecture is so close to Tokyo that my impression of it is roughly the same as that for Tokyo. And to say the least, it'll be at the MetLife Dome! The sound of "Dome" really resonates, and that's very moving.
A4: Message for Everyone ♪
This is Aqours' first live tour, so I hope we can show Aqours' passionate emotions to everyone from each stage!! I have a lot of feelings like that! I want to have a bright, blazing hot summer, living up to the title of "Love Live! Sunshine!!"!! When the day of the show comes, let's forget about the next day, and have our hearts burn with passion to the end!!
Nanaka Suwa (Suwawa) as Kanan Matsuura
A1: Impression of Nagoya
I've always wanted to go to Nagoya, but this is my first time going there, so I'm looking forward to it ♪ I've heard of the venue we're performing in, Nippon Gaishi Hall, but I've never been there, so I'm very curious and excited to see what kind of place it is. This is the first venue of our 2nd Live Tour, and while I want to get a grip on the atmosphere there, from Nagoya onward, I want to put all my strength into firing everyone up!
A2: Impression of Kobe
Thinking about Kobe, I have the impression of a beautiful townscape. The 1st year group loves taking pictures, and it seems like Kobe will have a lot of photography spots that'll delight them...! I haven't been to Kobe either, so I'm looking forward to finding out what kind of place it is! I'm happy that I can go to these places I haven't visited yet on this live tour. One day, I want to try visiting every prefecture in Japan.
[TL: Technically, not all of the administrative divisions referred to here are called "prefectures", but it's close enough and makes for easier reading to translate it that way.]
A3: Impression of Saitama
MetLife Dome is a very big venue, so I'm really looking forward to being able to perform there ♪ I'll try my best so that we can unleash all the excitement built up from our performances in Nagoya and Kobe!
A4: Message for Everyone ♪
Though it feels like we just finished the 1st Live, I want to experience that scenery of a sea of lights once more! Together with everyone that comes to watch us, I hope we can see an even more beautiful landscape! I want to have a HAPPY PARTY TRAIN TOUR where we can bring everyone lots of happiness!!
Arisa Komiya (Arisha) as Dia Kurosawa
A1: Impression of Nagoya
When talking about Nagoya, as I thought, the image of Nagoya Castle comes to mind! I want to see Shachihoko, since I haven't seen it in person before!! I've only been to Nagoya for work, so my own impression is very busy, but I think I'd really like to do some relaxed sightseeing（^^）
A2: Impression of Kobe
I've also been to Kobe for work, once or twice. But I don't know very much about what's there, so I'm thinking that I'll ask (Takatsuki) Kanako-chan, who's from Kobe, to teach me about it. The Kobe performance is after the two days we spend in Nagoya, so I think that'll mean that my nervousness will settle down, and I hope to have a wonderful performance in Kobe!
A3: Impression of Saitama
The Seibu Line that goes to MetLife Dome is one that I took often for work when I was 18-19, so personally, there are a lot of feelings associated with that place. When I was going home, I'd see many people wearing the performers' T-shirts. But back then, I never thought at all that I would stand on that stage. On this live tour, and out of all the venues we've performed at before, this will be the largest one. I want to firmly project my feelings and smile to everyone, even those furthest from the stage!!
A4: Message for Everyone ♪
The theme for our previous live was "0 to 1", but on this tour, it would be great if we could show off exactly how much we've grown in the half year since then! On this tour, we can meet even the people in the outskirts of the Kansai region who couldn't come before, so I'll try with all I've got to bring enjoyment to everyone!
Shuka Saitou (Shukashuu) as You Watanabe
A1: Impression of Nagoya
Us 2nd years went to Nagoya for the meet-and-greet event!! So being able to come to Nagoya again like this makes me happy! The time we visited Nagoya Castle is dear to me~ （* ^^ *）I'm looking forward to being able to perform at Nippon Gaishi Hall!! Let's have a Nagoya-esque performance~! ...what does it mean to be Nagoya-esque?? (laugh)
A2: Impression of Kobe
My first visit ☆ to Kobe!! It's hereee ☆☆ This is my first time going to Kobe! It'll be my first impression! Just about everything will be fresh to me, so there's no end to my excitement!! I'm happy that my first Kobe visit is for our 2nd Live Tour!! This is the best!!
A3: Impression of Saitama
Saitamaaaa—!! To think that we can perform in Saitama!! Wow! Wow! My happiness is going to overflow!! The venue is huge, too!! I might say that my impression of Saitama is good, as it has this mysterious sense of security!! (laugh)
A4: Message for Everyone ♪
Finally! It's here!!! The 2nd Live Tour! Ever since it was announced at our 1st Live, I've thinking "Is it here yet? Is it here yet?", and now it's coming so soon ☆☆ We're coming to visit everyone. And when I think about being able to make so many wishes come true in so many places, my anticipation and heartbeats just won't stop ☆ I wonder what scenery we'll see, and what dreams we'll create this time around. And since this is our first tour, my fighting spirit can't help but get fired up. From the most amazing stages, I want to reach everyone who has supported us all this time! I'll be holding hands with the rest of Aqours and You-chan! Looking towards all our performances: Full speed ahead!! Yousoro!!!
Aika Kobayashi (Aikyan) as Yoshiko Tsushima
A1: Impression of Nagoya
The 1st years have descended on Nagoya before, for the meet and greet event! Now that we're coming back, this time in the form of the 2nd Live Tour, I'm thinking "We can meet everyone~", so I'm very happy and really looking forward to it! When we heard that we have the privilege of performing at Nippon Gaishi Hall, I thought that I'll have to work even harder than before so that we can show everyone Aqours' radiance. Everyone, let's enjoy ourselves~!!
A2: Impression of Kobe
My first time here!! ...at last, the fallen angel descends onto Kobe—To Kobeeee? I fall! [TL: this worked a lot better in Japanese] I want to eat a lot of tasty food!! And the venue is the World Memorial Hall!! Meeting our little demons, and seeing our numbers grow... I'm looking forward to it!
A3: Impression of Saitama
When Saitama was mentioned, I thought of Seibu Dome (now MetLife Dome). Well, I never! Never! Never expected that the day would come when we'd have the chance to perform there!! I wasn't thinking of that at all, so I thought "wow, this dream hasn't ended, huh?"! With everyone in Aqours, I want to continue making various dreams come true! I've thought this many times over!
A4: Message for Everyone ♪
Thanks for waiting! Little demons! Aqours is coming to see you all! It's the 2nd Live Tour! Let's board a happy train with Yohane, and go to the ends of the earth! Everyone, let's shine together!
Kanako Takatsuki (King) as Hanamaru Kunikida
A1: Impression of Nagoya
Kushikatsu, chicken wing tips, dagyaa~! Personally, I've been to Nagoya so many times! I'm from Kobe, so my number one memory is taking the slow train for over 4 hours to meet my friends in Nagoya (laugh).
A2: Impression of Kobe
I am Kobe girl! [TL: literally what she said] My hometown ♡ Riding the Port Liner is exciting. It's a very strange feeling, coming to my hometown as a part of Aqours. I'll try my best to make everyone like Kobe so that we'll want to come back!!
A3: Impression of Saitama
Saitama seems close, but I can never really go! I've been to MetLife Dome once to see a performance. I ate yakisoba [TL: stir-fried noodles] at one of the food courts outside the venue. All I do is eat (laugh).
A4: Message for Everyone ♪
Thinking about all the skills we've cultivated during the 1st Live and all the events after that, I'm wondering whether we'll be able to show them off in a big way on our 2nd Live Tour. For both the songs we're performing for the first time, as well as the ones we've performed a lot, I'm sure our dances and performance will surprise everyone, so I'd be very happy if you had high hopes for us! As Hanamaru Kunikida, from the bottom of my heart, I'm looking forward to being able to meet everyone.
Aina Suzuki (Ainya) as Mari Ohara
A1: Impression of Nagoya
To be honest, I've never been to Nagoya, so this will be my first time!! I haven't been there before, so I can't help but be very excited ♪ I've heard that our venue, Nippon Gaishi Hall, is really big, so my heart is already pounding ♡
A2: Impression of Kobe
To be honest, I've never been to Kobe either, so this will be my first time!! I haven't been there before, so I can't help but be very excited ♪ My impression of Kobe is that it has streets full of stylish fashion and full of sweets!! If I go, I get the feeling that I'd become a girl with a strong sense of both body and soul!! (laugh)
A3: Impression of Saitama
My impression of Saitama is that it seems very cheap to live there!! I feel like you can spend your days living peacefully there ♪ MetLife Dome is often used for baseball games, right!? It must be very spacious ♪ I'm deeply touched by the fact that we're able to perform in this kind of place!!!
A4: Message for Everyone ♪
At our 1st Live, we were on stage at Yokohama Arena. And for our 2nd Live, we have a tour... Normally, you wouldn't think this would happen, so it feels like we're walking in a Cinderella story. After experiencing our 1st Live, now that I've reflected on and improved on my shortcomings, I think I'd like to show everyone how much I've grown. I'm really looking forward to meeting everyone in each of these places, and I think that each of these encounters will become precious treasures to me. So I'm hoping that each encounter with us will become something important to everyone as well.
Ai Furihata (Furirin/Aiai) as Ruby Kurosawa
A1: Impression of Nagoya
I remember going to Nagoya on a school study trip. We did things like going to the harbor's aquarium and taking photos, so I want to go again! Afterwards, we ate lots of delicious stuff! I like uirou [TL: a rice flour candy], so I want to buy "uiro bar" [TL: a frozen popsicle-like take on it; no English source, but pics here] as a souvenir (laugh).
A2: Impression of Kobe
This is my first time in Kobe! I want to learn about it from Kanako-chan, Hanamaru Kunikida's voice actor. It's also my first time at World Memorial Hall, so I can't really imagine what kind of atmosphere it has. If I said one thing, maybe it'd be "It'll definitely be an unforgettable time!". My heart is already pounding.
A3: Impression of Saitama
The other members took some time to tell me about MetLife Dome. I heard that it's incredibly big, "huge!!", and "hot!!" (laugh). Thus, I want to try my best, so that with our energy, we can blow the heat away from the venue, and reach everyone with our happiness. To everyone coming to this venue, please take care to hydrate yourself!
A4: Message for Everyone ♪
On this tour, we'll be able to go to so many places, and have the chance to make an enjoyable time for so many people; I think this kind of privilege is extremely rare. Aqours, Love Live! Sunshine!!, and Numazu: I want to put on a performance that will make everyone love them more and more! I want to reach everyone with Aqours' Numazu Power. Please look forward to it ☆
