Prize A is a “one-on-one online tea party with Imai Fumiya,” and Prize B is Imai’s specially selected “autographed private bromide photo.” The five bromides feature photos from a trip to Los Angeles in April of this year, each autographed and personalized. Prize C is a “Named Situation Voice (Unique),” and Prize D is a “20 Situation Voices (Including Secrets).” The secrets are three types: “Chin Grab,” “Arm Pillow,” and “Kiss.” Takatsuka reacts with excitement and surprise, saying, “Wow?! That’s amazing!!” He then adds, “(Three types) so that means it was a chin grab and didn’t turn into a kiss, right? He’s making us wait, lol” (Takatsuka), and, “If you’re using your arm as a pillow, you’re going to kiss!… Maybe I shouldn’t say this kind of thing too often, lol” (Imai), and the two have fun discussing the situations, getting excited. As always, they moved on to the segment where they recorded sample voices into a dummy head microphone. Imai whispered the voice selected in the questionnaire into the dummy head, “…Should I invite everyone out for drinks next time? Or…do you want to go just the two of us?” The viewers were engrossed and commented, “I want to go!!!!” “I hope it’s just the two of us!!! lol” and “This is the best, thank you.”

People say that a lot. Maybe you’d be good at being a voice actor, lol.” Takatsuka then performed another voice in reference to Imai’s outfit that day, saying, “You look even more beautiful in that skull shirt,” and some viewers responded to his sweet voice with comments such as
“Kyuuuuun!!!!”, “It’s too good,” and “My ears are happy…,” while others made humorous comments such as “A skull shirt lol,” and everyone’s ears were entertained. In the second half, for paid animelo members, they chatted casually while enjoying nagashi somen noodles with various toppings, such as grated kelp, myoga ginger, and chili oil. Under the theme of “What the Two Have in Common,” the two discussed the game and music mix project “Code Gem,” in which they sang as a unit. They recalled stories of how happy they were when they found out their partner was Takatsuka, and how their vocal harmony was excellent when they took on a difficult song together. They also share a common bond as otaku, and the two get excited talking about the first late-night anime they watched, with Imai saying, “Everything went crazy from there” and Takatsuka saying, “I totally understand that feeling!!” Imai revealed how addicted he was back then, saying, “I started watching anime when I was in the first year of junior high, but I watched so much that I don’t remember anything from my second year, or even my school days.” He would watch anime until 3 a.m., then wake up at 6 a.m. to watch it again, and watch it all in real time.

I was so happy they invited me, and I wish we could have talked more.” The two of them became closer, and the show ended on a harmonious note. ┃Imai Fumiya’s Kujimate Special Vol. 3 ~The Cold-Hearted Young Master of a Large Inn Becomes Dependent~ #1 Program Overview ■Date and Time: Friday, August 15, 2025, 8:00 PM – 9:00 PM ■Cast: Fumiya Imai (MC), Tomohito Takatsuka (Guest) ■Viewing URL: https://live.nicovideo.jp/watch/lv347988341 (Free viewing of the first half) ■Timeshift period: Until 11:59 PM on Monday, September 15, 2025 ┃Imai Fumiya’s Kujimate Vol. 3 ~The Cold-Hearted Young Master of a Large Inn Becomes Dependent~ Product Overview ■Sales URL:
