“Hana Doll* -Air Quotes- Anthos* Stage Event 2024” detailed report has arrived! On Sunday, August 4, 2024, “Hana Doll* -Air Quotes- Anthos* Stage Event” will be held at Bunkyo Civic Hall in Tokyo.
2024” was held. Here we will report on the afternoon performance.
At this event, Mr. Daiki Hamano (shadow) from Anthos*, the unit that is active in “Hana Doll*”, an “intellectually exciting” music drama CD content full of thoughtful elements created by Movic Co., Ltd. (role of He Lingke), Horie
Mr. Shun (role of Setsuna Yashiro), Mr. Kento Ito (role of Rito Todo), Mr. Wataru Komada (role of Chise), Mr. Junichi Toki (role of Kisaragi) Kaoru), Seiichiro Yamashita (Mahiro Yuuki), and Toshiki Masuda (Yota Kiyose) appeared.
What confused Antholic even before the show started were the seven torsos on stage. Speaking of “7”, it is the same number of members as Anthos*, but…?
Furthermore, you can see a door behind the torso. Speaking of the upcoming 4th album “3rd season THINK OF ME:
ROOM” song MV, and even before that, “door” is a key motif that often appears, so it is reminiscent of a connection with previous
foreshadowing. The torso, which hints at something, remains as it is until the performance begins, and the opening video begins to flow from the stage monitor.
Each time the Anthos* between double quotes (“”) appeared one by one, the audience erupted in loud cheers. Then a door appeared, and in the blink of an eye, the seven torsos on the stage became seven Anthos* members and began singing “Liberation.” Each of the seven performers had a complex expression on their face, some looking out over the audience with a defiant look in their eyes, others lowering their gaze to show a worried expression. It seemed as if it represented the suffering they were going through before heading toward “Liberation.” Dancers also appeared on stage for the next song “R.N.P.N”!
Mr. Masuda swayed his body as he sang along with the unique rhythm, and the audience got into a groove. The formation changed rapidly, and the members in the center were swapped at random moments, making it a dance number that you couldn’t take your eyes off.
The event started with Toki-san, who has become a familiar face, as the MC. After introducing themselves, the seven members each called out to Antholic, saying, “Let’s enjoy the live together.” Meanwhile, Anthos* and the others seemed to be deeply moved as this was the 4th and 5th anniversary of the “Hana Doll*” event. Of course, there were also fans who came to the event for the first time. During the talk about the two songs they performed, they got excited about how to read “R.N.P.N.” The pronunciation is “Rinpun,” but since the pronunciation was not assigned during recording, most members, including Mr. Yamashita, were reading it ambiguously. Mr. Toki and Mr. Ito, who were listening to the reading instructions on the spot, watched with smiles as the other five exchanged words.
Since this event is also being streamed overseas, Mr. Hamano and Mr. Komada will give their customary greetings in English. Mr. Toki asked the audience to “please give us a global reaction,” and the audience immediately responded with a global (?) reaction of “huh!”. Mr. Hamano was in charge of the afternoon performance and greeted Antholic in fluent English. Mr. Hamano said, “This is the part that makes me the most nervous,” but when Mr. Yamashita said something that was not written on the monitor even though the greeting text was displayed, Mr. Hamano started to make comments. did.
The recitation is a short drama by Anthos* performed the day before the stage event. The group, who decided to take on the game based on instructions from the staff, split into two teams and each moved to a different location. Starting from there, the rule is to see if two teams can meet within the time limit. It may seem simple, but the only way to contact us is by sending two messages. Moreover, there is a restriction that you can only send messages with a maximum of 2 characters. Kaoru, who loves food, suddenly becomes motivated when she hears that if they can meet each other within the time limit, they can enjoy a luxurious eve dinner. Setsuna, who was not able to be on the same team as Makoto last time, is enthusiastic about this time, but unfortunately, as a result of being separated by a strict no-go, she ends up on a different team and becomes depressed.
Divided into team Ryo, Setsuna, Rihito, and Houta, and team Chise, Kaoru, and Mako, the two groups’ games begin immediately!
Apparently, both teams’ starting points are around Tokyo Dome City, where the venue is located. Rito makes a guess by listing plausible things, but Yota points out that he’s only listing places that Chise is likely to go to. Chise was aiming for an amusement park simply because she wanted to ride a roller coaster. Kaoru and Makoto, who are on the same team as Chise, also seem to have a store they are looking for near the amusement park, so the three decide to head to the amusement park for a change of pace. So, Makoto sends a message to Ryo and the others about it. Use your tact by sending it in emojis. Lingyao team received a message with amusement park and shrimp emojis. Houta comments that Rito’s guess is wrong based on the amusement park emoji, and Ryo quickly realizes from the shrimp emoji that Makoto’s location is a shrimp restaurant based on his favorite movie. While the three of them are deciding where to go next, Setsuna responds to a message without permission due to her strong feelings for Mako! Without consulting the other three, he sent the sheep and the heart. Of course, Makoto and the others were confused. He suspects it may be a code, and his theory jumps to the conclusion that it may be about a ramen shop that serves soup made with sheep.
However, from there, Mako found an unexpected place. On the other hand, Ryoga’s team also found themselves enjoying what they liked, and Ryoga, Rito, and Youta, who had been constantly tsukkomiing, looked tired. Then, they receive a message from Makoto with an emoji indicating a certain location, and the two groups are reunited. While the individuality of the seven people stands out and we see a different side from before, the story reminds us that Anthos*’s feelings and bond with Antholic remain unchanged.
The live part started with an interval video of the “Air Quotes series”, and the second part of the solo series “Air
Quotes Series” will be sung by each Anthos* one by one. All of the solo songs performed this time were written by Anthos* himself. Although the theme of the lyrics is different for each member, each song gives a glimpse of their feelings and invites you to go deeper into Anthos*.
The top performer of the live part was Kaoru Kisaragi’s “Girl, it’s” you”. The lyrics, which have a theme of “the feeling of being in love,” have a somewhat sad tone to them, and the expression on Toki’s face as she sings seems to reflect the content. While speaking kind words that were typical of Kaoru’s, she treated the rose in her hand with respect, as if it were the person she was in love with. Mr. Masuda, who received the baton from Mr. Toki, sings Yota Kiyose’s “Favorite”.
“Playlist”. Mr. Masuda was jumping up and down happily while stirring up the audience. It’s a song filled with Yota’s “sense of wanting to cheer up the people you care about,” and it energized Antholic. Next, we moved on to “One Piece Love” sung by Ito. Mr. Ito dramatically sings the “complicated and important emotions that we have as human beings,” which he describes with a choice of words typical of Rito Todo.
When you think of Chise, you think of her lyrics being in English, but in the second part of her solo series, her lyrics are entirely in English. On stage, Ms. Komada perfectly expressed Chise’s “sparkling current self”, which was entrusted to her by English. Chise’s sparkle must have reached Antholic as well.
A complete change from the pop atmosphere, Setsuna Yashiro’s “Something in the With “air”, Horie takes Antholic to the winter world. I’m sure some Antholics were thrilled by the story-telling love song that brings to mind images of falling snow.
Ryōkō Kagegawa’s solo song “My
CAMERA”, his hobby is photography, which is reflected in the lyrics. Furthermore, things related to the camera appear not only in the lyrics but also in the choreography. Mr. Hamano entertained the audience with his comical choreography that you couldn’t help but want to imitate.
And, the live part of the solo song was performed by Mr. Yamashita with Masahiro Yuki’s “RED”
It concludes with “Toxic”. It’s more intense than any of the songs so far, and the lyrics are as intense as the song itself. Mr. Yamashita fully expressed Makoto’s hidden “toxic” side in his performance, painting the venue red.
From the solo song part that came to a violent end, “Mirage in Cool down with “Mirage”. Antholic listens to the soothing singing voice and waves his penlight in time with the mellow rhythm. Anthos* also showed a soft expression, and the members looked at each other while singing.
In the last corner, the announcement of the latest information, a flurry of information continues to be released. In particular, the members were overjoyed at the decision to produce the 4th season and the follow-up to the anime “Hana Doll*”!
Mr. Masuda, who mentioned this anime in his speech later, said that while the drama CD continues to have disturbing developments with each season, he thought, “Compared to now, the first season was more cheerful.” However, it is still “Hana Doll*”. As we proceeded with the dubbing, he laughed and said, “It wasn’t like that.”
After everyone gave a round of applause to Mr. Toki, who had served as MC thus far, it was time to bring the event to a close. At the end, “Clap! Clap!
Clap!”, Anthos* and Antholic come together and have a blast. Combined with the official call and claps that had been announced in advance, the excitement reached its peak!
The day’s event ended with Antholic left with a strong sense of elation. =========================================
