The characters from Yume 100 (夢王国と眠れる100人の王子様) and Akaseka (茜さすセカイでキミと詠う) arrived at Humax Cinema near Animate Girls Festival (AGF) 2017 for a fun night on 3rd November. Greeted by the appearance of three incredibly fun seiyuu – KENN (Takasugi Shinsaku in Akaseka), Tarusuke Shingaki (Frost in Yume 100; Saika Magoichi in Akaseka), Hiroki Takahashi (Las in Yume 100; Orochi in Akaseka), the cool night was surely warm for the lucky girls who got this rare chance to meet them.

▍Live Reading
The first part of the live reading was a story in which Shinsaku, Magoichi, and Las went to a game center in a place that is neither Yume Oukoku nor Hinomoto. After Shinsaku and Magoichi teleported, they bumped into a flirty Las, who was being surrounded a swarm of girls. Since they had no clue what the place was and how it was like, they went exploring the place together. Eventually, they ended up in a game center and playing crane machines. Of course, Las did’t stay long and disappeared in the middle of a game – all because he was attracted to some girl passing by!

The second part was a continuation of the first part, but Shinsaku was accompanied by Frost and Orochi instead. In order to experience foreign culture, they decided to make an “ita bag”, which literally means “painful bag” (see here for examples). A practical Shinsaku made a bag that could be used as a weapon. An aesthetical Orochi made a beautiful bag in white theme as a souvenir dedicated to Japanese God Takeru. Frost couldn’t get over his brother complex, and covered the bag with 500 accessories of himself and his brothers.

▍Q&A
In this session, KENN, Shingaki, and Takahashi needed to answer questions thrown at them in the place of the characters they voiced. The most important question must be “what your ideal date is like”. Las, as always, made a flirty remark by saying he wanted to hug his date in a cosy private place that none could intrude. Frost, being a proud prince of his country, wanted to bring his date to pay his country a visit. Magoichi was a mature adult, therefore he would take his date to somewhere “sexy”. A calm and quiet person, Orochi was satisfied with any quiet place. The cutest must be Shinsaku, whose wish was to go wherever his date went. He even got a bit jealous when she thought about other people!
▍Talk
After the live reading and Q&A session, the seiyuu recalled their experiences during recording. Takahashi’s story made everyone laughed the most: When he was recording for Las, he had to keep a chin jut out 100 percent of the time due to the dramatic way Las talked. All those funny moments made every girl lost their good postures! And this left the whole theater full off audience wanting for more as the curtain went down…
If you have played Yume 100 and Akaseka, this was surely an extra experience to let you understand the characters more. If you haven’t, this show would definitely make you want to try them out! Both games are now available for download on iOS and Android.
