K-On! Live Event ~LET'S GO!

I really enjoy taking pictures from vlc media player..:P

All right so this is the start of my review at K-On! first live Event "LETS GO!". ^^

The opening is good. They first introduce who the voice's is who. Aki Toyosaki as Yui Hirasawa, Yoko Hikasa as Mio Akiyama, Satomi Sato as Ritsu Tainaka, Minako Kotobuki as Tsumugi Kotobuki, Ayana Taketatsu as Azusa Nakano, Madoka Yonezawa as Ui Hirasawa, Chika Fujito as Nodoka Manabe and Asami Sanada as Sawako Yamanaka.

After the inroduction Aki(Yui), Yoko(Mio), Sato(Ritsu), Minako(Tsumugi) and Ayana(Azusa) begun to sing.


They were all awesome.
The audience was so awesome too. They really participate.
After the first song which is "Cagayake Girls", the five Girls introduce their self.

Then the play time begun as Aki star to be the main MC. ^^
Because Yoko is so nervous, Aki suggested to do the "te e pero!" pose. And so they did, and amazingly, the audience seems to do it too. This scene is sooooo funny, you should watch it. XD

After this ,the five seiyuu went back to the backstage to ready their self to their solo songs.
First up is Aki Toyosaki's, "Guitar no Kubiddake". I love her pose. ^^ Pointing up, I love that.
Tom-H@ck

.
I love this pose.
I really love this upbeat song. It makes me smile and charge up my energy. You can tell that Aki is really happy and enjoying performing it. This song is certainly a good start.

Second is Yoko Hikasa's, "Heart Goes Boom!".
Tanabe Tashina


I love this pose.Continue that. ^^
Though she seems so nervous, her performance went so well. And while she's singing it, you can here the audience singing with her, specially in the "BOOM BOOM BOOM!" part. Hahaha!! Look, she even did the Moe Moe Kyun! hahaha!! She is so funny.. :D

Next is Satomi Sato's, "Girly Storm Shissou Stick".
Ichinose Hisashi


I love this pose.
At first I don't really listen to her songs but, when I watch her performance I begun to listen and like it. I was just like, "Wah! Kawaii!! ^^ I want that!". Her performance really is great, even though their are time's that she shows nervousness, she immediately drop it and turn back again to Ricchan. ^^ The drums was so AWESOME! I really love it.

Next is Minako Kotobuki's "Dear My Keys ~ Kenban no Mahou".
Komori Shigeo
I love this pose.


Just like Ritsu's character song, I don't listen to Mugi's song until I saw Minako-san performance. I was just like, "Wah! Awesome! Lovely, lovely. Where can I find that? ". Her performance really is amazing. I think she really enjoy performing on a stage. You can tell that she is enjoying singing it. I think its one of the reason why I love it. 

Then, Ayana Taketatsu's "Jiyajiya Ma Way To Go".
Uchida Toshino


She seems nervous while singing but, she performs it very well. This song is very cute and a little bit upbeat. The guitarist here is so AWESOME! What comes out to my mind when I listen to this song is, my wish of having an electric guitar. 

I thought Azusa was the last one to perform and that they will take a break after her. But surprisingly, the concert hall become more darker and smoke comes out in nowhere. Then, a person with a scary mask was seen in the camera, and when she take it of, it was non other than SAWAKO-sensei!!
The performance is really Awesome. She really did the rocking and scary qualities of Sawako-sensei. 
Guest guitarist, Seega. (Don't know who he is or if my spelling is correct at his name. ^^)
She even did the TEETH GUITAR!! WHAT THE HECK! HAHAHAHA!! XD

After the unsuspected performance of Asami Sanada, the five girls went back to the stage to introduced the other seiyuus of k-on and to play games with the audience.

And it seems that Ms.Sanada had become Sawako again to scared the girls before the game ends. hahahaha!! This is hilarious. :D

After playing games, the two seiyuu start performing their character songs with a starting performance of Madoka Yonezawa's "Lovely Sister Love".
I really love her songs. Her performance was good, no sign of nervousness to me, just enjoyment. ^^
Then, Chika Fujitou's "Coolly Hotty Tension Hi!".
Just like Madoka, no sign of nervousness, just enjoyment. I love this upbeat song, and her performance was so good that even the audience love it.
After the performance of the two, all the seiyuu cast went out again to the stage to perform a little dubbing session. 
After the dubbing session, the five seiyuu perform some of their songs. Now, I'm giving you some detailed photos of  it.
Ahahaha! I love this photo..hahaha!! XD  


This is sooooo AWESOME!! So Lovely! I love it when Aki and Yoko do a duet.. Its soo sahdasfhgasfajfyuasgf.. AWESOME! For me, their voice really blend each other.. XD I LoVE IT!
After doing the "Curry Nochi Rice" and "Fudepen ~Ballpen~",they did a live performance using the instruments that they were holding. Yes, because after all those times, they're not the one who is playing, that's why they can goof around. ^^
Here they perform "Watashi no koi wa Hocchikisu".
Look how serious they are.. ^^ Here they play "Fuwa Fuwa Time". Aki somewhat cried here because of that, she lose in pitch.. Aw.. It really sadden me when the show is nearly to end.

Playing Comments:
Well Aki-san knows how to play guitar but, being a lead guitarist and vocal is a kinda hard.You can hear some little pitch, pitch problem of the guitars but, you can also see that she really is doing her best in playing it while singing. She seems to enjoy it too. And you can feel some strong signs of music lover from her.. ^^

I really love Minako-san's playing, it makes me smile. I don't know if one of KyoAni's condition in choosing Mugi-chan's seiyuu is that, it knows how to play piano because, having no experience in piano is more harder than any instrument. But, its good to know that Mugi's seiyuu knows how to play it. I think making her Mugi-chan's voice is not a accident, it is given by God. ^^

Ayana-san is soooo amazing! Being a beginner but hearing her play will surely amaze you. Though she and Aki-san has a little bit pitchy problems there, their certainly did a great work. I can't wait for them to grow more in playing their guitars.

Yoko-san, being right-handed and not having any experience in bass is really amazing. Though their are some pitch pitch problems in her playing too, you can see that she is really doing her best to play it. Well, its hard to play an instrument where you are not really a left-handed person but, you play a left-handed instrument and additional to that not having any experience at all. Its really awesome that she can play it like that.

In all the HTT members, the person that really amaze me is Sato-san. A first timer in playing drums but hearing the beat of her playing is really really awesome. Drum is one of the hardest instruments to play. It requires your 2 hand and your 2 feet. Drum is in rhythm section so it provides the background sound for the lead instruments. A drummers main task is to keep everyone on time. Although sometimes Sato-san drumming lose its beat, she really did a very good job in maintaining everyone on time.

After the two live song, they perform the first opening and ending theme of K-On!.
Now,now, look at those lucky people.
I really love the duets. ^^ Here, they're performing "Don't say Lazy".


Since they're not playing their instruments, they just play and goof around and its enjoying to watch them do that.. hahaha! XD So kawaii.. ^_^
Yes, duets again.. ^^
Oh! The Announcement of K-On! season 2! ^______^
Here they perform again the "Cagayake Girls" song.

A, Yoko-san, your still singing right? hahahaha!! XD
After the "Cagayake Girls", they thank the audience and went backstage. Aww... Group Hug.... ^_^
Now its time for the ending performance of the live event.








Aww... They really did cry here, I think its because of the overwhelming feeling that they receive from the audience. WAH! I want to be their too! I want to give them my heart warming presence too.. :D

Aww.. Yoko-san is crying and Aki-san is currently comforting her.
A, Aki-san aren't you forgetting something or someone?


x
I told you Aki-san, I told you.. XD



Though in all of the K-On! seiyuu (except Sanada-san), Aki-san seems the most strongest in holding back emotion but, in the end, her tears suddenly break out. I think receiving too much overwhelming love from the audience makes you really cried in happiness.. Aw.. ^^
After those overwhelming message from the seiyuu, they then sung the song "LETS GO!". I love the beat and rhythm of this song. Overflowing of drum beats that makes you jump in joy! SUGOI!!. 
Aww.. After singing the "LETS GO!" song, all the seiyuu went up stair on the stage to say goodbye and thank all of the audience..
Aww....I think this is their very first live event in a coliseum, though I'm not sure of Aki-san and Minako-san.
Ahahaha!! Kawaii!! XD As you can see, Yoko-san and Aki-san did the "te e pero" pose in the ending. Oh yeah, the "te e pero" was renowned pose by Yoko Hikasa.She even won an award for that.

Wow.. When I first watch this I was really like "WAH!! Awesome! WOW! WOh! So that's yui! WAH! Awesome! Impressive! WOW!". This video is one of the reason why I got interest in seiyuu's. If Yui and others can talk, I think they will be really grateful and thankful to them. Imagine, Yui thanking Aki-san........Hahaha! weird and scary but cute. Hahahaha! That's not gonna happen though. But really, seiyuus (voice actor/actress) are one of the main elements in anime(cartoon/video game). Lets appreciate and thanks them in doing their best to give life to our favorite characters.  

本当にすごい

To tell you the truth, I have too many funny photos taken from the concert that I can easily manipulate but, I won't upload it because of the word "consideration".. hahahaha!! XD Godbless and have a good day.

K-On! seiyuu's

I've been itching to do a blog about this but, every time I decided to do it, I always ended up reading their biography and some random blogs about them.. But now! It's time to make it! Yeah! now! XD

But before anything, let me explain the meaning of Seiyuu. Seiyuu is spirit and heart of the anime characters. Its a japanese term for Voice actor. In Japan, voice actor were spelled and read like this, 声の俳優 koe no haiyū In convenience the word was shorten and make it like this,声優, meaning seiyuu.Enough of that, lets start the review! First up, Aki Toyosaki.



                                                    Aki Toyosaki (Yui Hirasawa)

Aki Toyosaki is a japanese singer and seiyuu from Tokushima Prefecture, Japan. Born on October 28, 1986. Her first major voice acting role was in 2007 voicing Amuro Ninagawa, the main character of Kenko Zenrakei Suieibu Umisho.She become the "Best New Actress" at the 4th Seiyuu Award in 2010 and "Best Actress in leading role" at the 5th Seiyuu Award in 2011 for her role as Yui Hirasawa.

Her first musical performance was with Eri Kitamura, a fellow seiyuu for the Minami-ke Biyori CD.But her musical career begun when she performed the 1st opening and ending themes of K-On!.Both album hits the top oricon charts, from April 27 to May 3, 2009.

She is a good singer and has big range of voice. If you watch the PV of Last Exile: Ginyoku no Fam, you will know what I mean. I'm really really amaze how she perform and how she create different pitches for 
her characters. I really love her upbeat, cute and sweet songs. Keep it up Ms. Aki! I love your songs..^^

She is affiliated in a seiyuu group created by her company Music Ray'n known as "Sphere".

Yoko Hikasa (Mio Akiyama)


Yoko Hikasa is a japanese seiyuu from Kanagawa Prefecture. Born on July 16, 1985. She decided to become a seiyuu because of her admiration at Naoko Takeuchi, the seiyuu of the main protagonist of Sailor Moon, Usagi Tsukino.Her first role was on Sketchbook:full color's as Minamo Negishi.

She really has a talent in singing. The "Don't say lazy" song wherein, she is the main vocalist have been awarded by the Animation Kobe as the Best Song award in 2009. Her voice really is rocking the anime world, though don't make it a little bit of a high pitch. Your voice is for rock and ballad Ms.Yoko so, keep on rocking. But don't try metal rock though. ^_^ Despite her big voice, I found out that she also do cute loli moe voices by watching the anime Ro-Kyu-Bu!. It really cute! XD

She is currently affiliated in a seiyuu group known as "Ro-Kyu-bu!". I think she is now pursuing a singing career, lets just wait and see.


Satomi Sato ( Ritsu Tainaka)


Satomi Sato also known as "Sugar" is a japanese seiyuu from Miyagi Prefecture. She was born on May 8, 1986. She was selected to be the 7th line-up assistants on the Miki Tomokazu's Radio Big Bang while studying at Tokyo Announce Gakuin in year 2006. She then form a unit known as Kisty but it was immediately ended on the same year.
Her voice Debut on 2008 as Mikage Yuzuki of Jigoku Shoujo Mitsuganae. She won the 5th "Best New Actress" in 2011 Seiyuu Award..
Thought her career did not immediately boom like her other fellow seiyuu's on K-On!, little by little she begun to be very known even outside japan. She was recently came out at Dannychoo's show Cultural Japan as a guest. If you don't know Danny choo, you can just search about him or just click this website (
http://www.dannychoo.com/). 

For me, she is a great seiyuu and I really love her voice. She can do genki, moe and many more. I will definitely watch out for her other show. :D Keep it up Ms.Satomi. ^^


Minako Kotobuki (Tsumugi Kotobuki)


Coincidence? nah.. But yes, your not mistakenly reading it. Minako Kotobuki is a japanese singer and seiyuu from Hyogo Prefecture. She was born on September 17, 1991. She was one of the youngest seiyuu known since 2009.Her debut role was on K-On! as Tsumugi Kotobuki. Just like Aki, her musical career begun when she sung the 1st opening and ending themes of K-On! with her fellow seiyuu.

I don't know if this is real or not but, to what I have read on another site about seiyuus, she decided to become a seiyuu because, she heard their was an anime about earthquakes. Ms.Minako is a victim of earthquakes when she was a child so, I was a little bit shocked when I read this information.
Her voice is really refreshing into ear making you say, "lovely" while listening in her album. Your album were so lovely Ms.Minako, I love it.. ^^ I just recently realize that, Minako-san has the most cute voice of all the K-On seiyuu's. Well, that's my opinion.. :D

She also have done several live action movies like, "Blue Bird" and the award winning indie film entitled, "Ghost of Yesterday". She is also a member of the seiyuu group "Sphere".


Ayana Taketatsu (Azusa Nakano)
~nyan!

Ayana Taketatsu is a japanese seiyuu from Saitama Prefecture. Born on June 23, 1989.

Her debut role was on K-On! as Azusa Nakano. After that, her  career suddenly boomed. She then begun to dub Ako Suminoe of KissxSis, Vanilla in Yumeiro Patissiere and many more.

Not like her other fellow K-On! seiyuu who put effort in voicing their characters, Ayan put more effort in voicing Azusa sounding it more cute, sweet and helpless.  And that is one of the reason why you will love Azusa..Well that's my observation though, it doesn't mean the other's don't put efforts in dubbing their characters. ^^ ~nyan! 


She have done a film entitled, "Light Novel no Tanoshi Kakikata".



Madoka Yonezawa (Ui Hirasawa)

Madoka Yonezawa is a japanese seiyuu from Osaka Prefecture. Little was known about her. It says that she love singing, dancing and painting.

Recently, she and the other 4 K-On! seiyuu (Aki Toyosaki, Yoko HIkasa, Satomi Sato and Ayana Taketatsu ) release a software application for Toshiba's Android phone REGZA. It's an application wherein, you can turn your REGZA phone into a remote control for the TV and DVD/BD. But it's for toshiba only though.


Just like Ayana, she also put more effort in dubbing Ui, specially in singing. I really love her sweet and cute voice. Try to listen to her song and you will be addicted.




Chika Fujitou (Nodoka Manabe)



Chika Fujito is a japanese seiyuu from Akashi, Hyogo. Born on July 16, 1985. Wah! Just like Yoko Hikasa! Double Celebration!! XD


Her first and debut role was Nodoka Manabe of K-On!. To what I have read in a certain japanese website, she know how to play piano and love composing song's. 


Though a little bit of shy, her voice is so lovely. I really love it. ^^




Yoriko Nagata (Jun Suzuki)


Yoriko Nagata is a japanese seiyuu from Osaka. She was born on February 27,1984. She play Jun suzuki in K-On!, Miharu Mikuri in KissxSis, Sasha in Darker than Black, Jonu Crafty in Dog days and many more. 

Their's a little known to about her though. And all I know is she is a seiyuu since 2006. But wow, she is very good while performing Junjou Bomber!! in "K-On!! live ~Come with me". I also love the Midnight Superstar of her's.









Asami Sanada (Sawako Yamanaka)


Asami Sanada is a japanese seiyuu from Nagano Prefecture. Born on September 8, 1977.

Her debut role is Dejiko in Di Gi Charat. She is also known as Vita from Magical Lyrical Nanoha and Jun Sakurada of Rozen Maiden. She love listening to music and love eating cakes.

It really amaze me that she can sing a metallic genre song. Though I didn't really listen to her song but when I watch her performance at the "K-On! live ~Let's Go" it really chills my skin. She's a great performer. So awesome.^^







The most funny and interesting fact about this seiyuu's are, they have a little common qualities to their characters in K-On!. Hahaha!! Strange but yes, they do have some qualities to their characters. Many people says that, even the people in Japan.

I really love this photo. Very cute.

Although they have different groups, they still form the Houkago Tea Time (HTT) group and perform a live performance. It turn's out to be a an AWESOME, AMAZING and ROCKING cOnCERT!!! I wish I was in that concert. As an overseas fan and a student, it is really a burden for me to go their. I wish they make a live event again wherein, I'm able to go their. I'll pray for that.. ^___^ HTT won the 4th seiyuu Awards for the "Best Musical Performance" in 2010.



And that's it, next up is the their live event.^^
