**[00:36] Denji**
Pochita?
**[00:40] Denji**
Did you take my body, like I said?
**[00:44] Pochita**
I always loved hearing you talk
about your dreams, Denji.
**[00:51] Pochita**
Here's the deal. I'll give you my heart...
**[00:55] Pochita**
And in exchange, I want you
to show me your dream.
**[01:00] Denji**
Pochita?!
**[01:08] Denji**
I'm not hurt?
**[01:16] Denji**
Pochita...?
**[01:25] Zombie Devil**
What is this?
**[01:27] Zombie Devil**
You're alive after being sliced up?
**[01:29] Zombie Devil**
Why? Gross!
**[01:31] Zombie Devil**
I seriously hate devil hunters.
**[01:34] Zombie Devil**
Guys, go ahead and eat him.
**[01:43] Denji**
* These guys had plenty already,*
* so why'd they want even more?*
**[01:49] Denji**
*Am I the same?*
**[01:51] Denji**
* I wasn't satisfied with*
* the happiness I had with Pochita.*
**[01:55] Denji**
*I kept dreaming about a better life.*
**[01:59] Denji**
* I guess we all dream*
* about stuff like that, huh?*
**[02:04] Denji**
*I can't blame you, then.*
**[02:07] Denji**
*And I won't, but...*
**[02:11] Denji**
*If you get in our way?*
**[02:17] Denji**
You'll die!
**[03:49] Toya**
Good afternoon, everybody!
**[03:57] Toya**
Make that good evening, actually. Sorry.
**[04:00] Toya**
You're allowed to make
as much noise as you want today,
**[04:04] Toya**
and you know what that means, right?
**[04:07] Toya**
Let's get a Chainsaw Man
call going, then! Ready?
**[04:12] Toya**
And...
**[04:13] Toya**
Chainsaw Man! Chainsaw Man!
**[04:17] Toya**
Chainsaw Man! Chainsaw Man! Chainsaw Man!
**[04:22] Cast**
Chainsaw Man! And again!
**[04:24] Toya**
Chainsaw Man!
**[04:25] Cast**
And again!
**[04:26] Toya**
Chainsaw Man!
**[04:27] Toya**
Thank you, everyone.
**[04:30] Toya**
Let's make tonight a hot one!
Chainsaw Fes begins now!
**[04:46] Mukai**
Hey there, everybody! Good evening!
Let's hear that applause!
**[04:50] Mukai**
Thank you so much!
**[04:52] Mukai**
Thank you very much.
**[04:55] Mukai**
Thank you all for joining us
at Chainsaw Fes tonight,
**[04:59] Mukai**
My name is Mukai and I'll be
your MC tonight, it's a pleasure!
**[05:05] Mukai**
Thank you, thank you.
**[05:08] Mukai**
The night special is now underway,
**[05:11] Mukai**
and we've already started off
with a live reading from Toya-san,
**[05:15] Mukai**
what did you all think of that?
**[05:20] Mukai**
Thank you so much!
**[05:22] Mukai**
Man, wasn't that cool?
**[05:25] Mukai**
A live reading isn't something
you see every day,
**[05:28] Mukai**
and Toya-san pulled it off himself.
**[05:30] Mukai**
And we've got plenty more
where those came from,
**[05:34] Mukai**
in addition to performances
from the many amazing artists
**[05:37] Mukai**
who performed the ending themes,
**[05:40] Mukai**
so I hope you'll stick with us to the end!
**[05:42] Mukai**
Everybody ready to get hyped?!
**[05:46] Mukai**
Thank you so much! Very nice!
I love that energy!
**[05:50] Mukai**

**[08:35] Ise**
Thanks for having me!
**[08:38] Mukai**

**[08:40] Mukai**

**[08:49] Takahashi**

**[08:51] Mukai**

**[08:56] Taichi**

**[09:10] Hamano**

**[09:13] Hamano**

**[09:20] Hamano**
Let's have a great time tonight!
**[09:22] Mukai**
Thanks for coming!
**[09:26] Mukai**
And there you have it.
**[09:27] Mukai**
Some fantastic introductions from
the cast we'll be having perform tonight,
**[09:32] Mukai**
I'm so glad you're all here.
**[09:33] Cast**
Glad to be here.
**[09:34] Mukai**
Tomori Kusunoki-san was also
scheduled to be here tonight,
**[09:37] Mukai**
but she's unfortunately not
feeling well, and couldn't join us.
**[09:41] Mukai**
I'd like to apologize to everyone
who was looking forward to seeing her,
**[09:44] Mukai**
and ask for your understanding.
**[09:46] Mukai**
I have a message from her right here,
and would like to read it now.
**[09:53] Mukai**
"I was really looking forward to a chance
to have fun with the Chainsaw Man audience,
**[09:58] Mukai**
and regret not being able to make it."
**[09:59] Mukai**
"I'd like to apologize to everyone
who was looking forward to seeing me."
**[10:03] Mukai**
"I'm going to work on getting
well again as soon as possible."
**[10:06] Mukai**
"The fact that you're
attending an event like this
**[10:07] Mukai**
probably means you already
like Chainsaw Man,"
**[10:11] Mukai**
"but I hope you'll continue to
anticipate what the future may bring."
**[10:16] Mukai**
And there you have it.
**[10:17] Mukai**
Pretty clear she wanted to come...
**[10:19] Mukai**
But we know she's here in spirit.
**[10:21] Toya**
That's right.
**[10:21] Mukai**
And that's good.
**[10:22] Fairouz**
Not only that, but for my birthday,
**[10:25] Fairouz**
Tomori-chan got me eyeshadow that's
the same shade of pink as Power,
**[10:28] Fairouz**
and I'm wearing it today!
**[10:30] Mukai**
That's cute!
**[10:31] Fairouz**
Get better soon, Tomori-chan!
**[10:33] Mukai**
We hope you're doing
well! And get better soon!
**[10:36] Mukai**
Thank you. That's good to know.
**[10:39] Mukai**
And with the eight of you here in spirit,
we're going to continue with the show.
**[10:44] Mukai**
We ran the daytime segment earlier,
and that was quite a show, as well!
**[10:48] Cast**
Sure was!
**[10:51] Mukai**
I was really impressed,
**[10:52] Mukai**
both the live readings and the music
performances were fantastic.
**[10:56] Mukai**
So, what did you think of
the daytime segment, Sakata-san?
**[11:00] Sakata**
I was really impressed
with your emceeing, Mukai-san.
**[11:04] Mukai**
Aw, shucks!
**[11:06] Mukai**
Thanks for that. I'm the Emcee Devil,
nice to meet you.
**[11:11] Cast**
That dance too, that was pretty cute.
**[11:13] Toya**
That dance was something!
**[11:14] Fairouz**
You're going to do it again
for the night segment, right?
**[11:17] Mukai**
And here we have
the Setting-Expectations Devil.
**[11:20] Mukai**
I dunno about that...
**[11:21] Cast**
Scary...
**[11:21] Cast**
Very intimidating!
**[11:22] Mukai**
But it's our intention to
make sure that tonight's show
**[11:25] Mukai**
is every bit as good
as the daytime segment was.
**[11:28] Mukai**
Now, then, to start off,
**[11:30] Mukai**
let's run through a digest montage
of Chainsaw Man episodes 1 through 12.
**[11:38] Mukai**
Toya-san, could you
introduce us to the footage?
**[11:42] Toya**
Right, let's take a look!
**[29:54] Mukai**
Thank you very much!
That was the digest montage!
**[29:59] Mukai**
Well, was that nicely put together or what?
**[30:03] Mukai**
Seriously, looking back on everything,
with associated songs for all 12 episodes...
**[30:11] Mukai**
So, looking back on it now, what
did you think of Chainsaw Man?
**[30:18] Mukai**
Well, that definitely sounds excited to me!
**[30:20] Mukai**
And it makes perfect sense.
**[30:21] Mukai**
Now, we've seen that rundown
of so many lovely scenes,
**[30:24] Mukai**
and now we're moving onto our next segment:
**[30:28] Mukai**
the Chainsaw Man Concert Stage!
**[30:33] Mukai**
Thank you so much!
**[30:35] Mukai**
First up will be the artists for the ending
theme of episode 10 of Chainsaw Man,
**[30:40] Mukai**
PEOPLE1.
**[30:43] Mukai**
Right, thank you for that applause!
**[30:46] Mukai**
And can anyone blame you?
**[30:48] Mukai**
Now, for episode 10, after
being attacked by Samurai Sword,
**[30:50] Mukai**
the Public Safety Devil Extermination
Special Division is on the verge of collapse.
**[30:54] Mukai**
Aki forces through his grief
to harden his resolve,
**[30:57] Mukai**
while Denji and Power receive training
**[30:59] Mukai**
from the self-proclaimed
strongest Devil Hunter, Kishibe.
**[31:01] Mukai**
The ending animation
was also quite impactful,
**[31:03] Mukai**
featuring Denji screaming
and running down an alley.
**[31:07] Mukai**
Now, remember folks, you can
make as much noise as you want,
**[31:09] Mukai**
and are cleared for standing ovations...
**[31:11] Mukai**
Ready to make some noise?
Should we get started?
**[31:16] Mukai**
Sounds like it, so let's
get going at full throttle.
**[31:21] Mukai**
This is "DOGLAND" by PEOPLE1! Enjoy!
**[33:41] PEOPLE1**
Chainsaw Fes, you rock!
**[34:41] PEOPLE1**
Thank you!
**[34:52] Mukai**
Thank you very much, that was PEOPLE1!
**[34:59] Mukai**
How cool was that?
**[35:01] Mukai**
Emerging from the city like that...
**[35:04] Mukai**
This is a pretty sweet set
we've got, right? Really adds to it.
**[35:07] Mukai**
Now that we've had our first
performance from the concert stage,
**[35:11] Mukai**
were you all able to
max out your hype levels?
**[35:15] Mukai**
Thank you very much, I'm sure
the guys from PEOPLE1 love to hear that.
**[35:20] Mukai**
Now, with that performance over,
we've got our next segment to move onto.
**[35:26] Mukai**
The order is gonna be live performance,
then live reading, then special segment,
**[35:30] Mukai**
so I hope you'll stick
with us all the way through.
**[35:35] Mukai**
Now that you're worked
up from a bit of rocking,
**[35:38] Mukai**
we wanna make sure you leave tonight
completely exhausted from having a good time.
**[35:42] Mukai**
Y'know, it's been said before,
but this is really fantastic.
**[35:46] Mukai**
An event being able to happen
in spite of everything,
**[35:49] Mukai**
and for the timing to allow
cheers from the audience,
**[35:51] Mukai**
it really makes Chainsaw Fes feel special.
**[35:55] Mukai**
And it's our hope to make sure
that it lives up to that feeling.
**[36:00] Mukai**
Moving right along, next up we have
a live reading from the cast.
**[36:08] Mukai**
This is going to be a famous scene
from the first half of the anime.
**[36:11] Mukai**
Once the lights go out,
the scene will be over,
**[36:15] Mukai**
and that's your cue to give our
actors a big round of applause.
**[36:18] Mukai**
We're going to have five sections
for this, and we hope you like it.
**[36:21] Mukai**
Here we go, a live
Chainsaw Man reading! Enjoy!

DOG & CHAINSAW
**[36:41] Young Denji**
Too hungry to sleep.
**[36:44] Young Denji**
When I can't sleep,
I start thinking about money,
**[36:46] Young Denji**
and then it's even harder to sleep.
**[36:51] Young Denji**
I know what dream I wanna have when I sleep.
**[36:54] Young Denji**
Gonna put jam on my bread,
and share it with you.
**[36:58] Young Denji**
Then I'm gonna flirt with a girl...
**[37:01] Young Denji**
I'll play video games with her, and then
we'll fall asleep hugging each other.
**[37:06] Young Denji**
Sounds sweet, right?
**[37:22] Young Denji**
Y'know, I heard my mom died from some
heart disease that made her cough up blood.
**[37:31] Yakuza**
Got a devil for you, Denji. Time for work.
**[37:53] Denji**
*Wish they'd at least let me dream...*

DOG & CHAINSAW
**[38:31] Makima**
Someone got here before us.
**[38:42] Agent A**
There's still one alive.
**[38:59] Makima**
You've got a strange smell.
**[39:02] Makima**
Not like a human or a devil.
**[39:08] Makima**
I take it you did this?
**[39:14] Denji**
H-Hug me...
**[39:36] Makima**
He's human.
**[39:37] Agent B**
Any chance he's possessed?
**[39:40] Makima**
No.
**[39:41] Makima**
I can tell who's possessed
with a look at their face.
**[39:46] Makima**
I came here to kill the Zombie Devil.
**[39:49] Makima**
I'm a devil hunter with Public Safety.
**[39:56] Makima**
You have two options:
**[39:59] Makima**
I can kill you like a devil,
**[40:03] Makima**
or I can keep you as a human.
**[40:06] Makima**
If I keep you, I'll make sure you're fed.
**[40:19] Denji**
When you say that...
**[40:21] Denji**
Like, what's for breakfast?
**[40:25] Makima**
Bread with butter and jam, salad, coffee...
**[40:30] Makima**
And then maybe something
for dessert, I think?
**[40:42] Denji**
That sounds awesome.
**[41:01] Sign**
ARRIVAL IN TOKYO
**[41:09] Makima**
I'm assigning you a partner
starting today, Denji.
**[41:13] Denji**
Partner?
**[41:14] Makima**
As a precaution, Public Safety executes patrols
**[41:17] Makima**
and smaller missions with two-person teams.
**[41:22] Makima**
This is great timing. She's here.
**[41:26] Makima**
Be careful. She's a Fiend.
**[41:31] Power**
Prostrate yourselves, humans!
**[41:34] Power**
For I am Power!
**[41:36] Power**
Are you to be my so-called partner?!
**[41:38] Denji**
Power?! Your name's Power?!
**[41:41] Denji**
And you're a Fiend?!
**[41:42] Denji**
Are Fiends allowed to be Devil Hunters?!
**[41:48] Denji**
Well, whatever! Nice to meet you!
**[41:52] Makima**
Fiends, like devils,
are targets for extermination.
**[41:55] Makima**
But Power's highly rational,
**[41:58] Makima**
so she's been on Hayakawa's team.
**[42:00] Makima**
I mentioned this before,
**[42:02] Makima**
but Public Safety Devil Extermination
Special Division 4 is an experimental unit.
**[42:06] Makima**
The higher-ups will be looking
to dissolve your team as soon as possible
**[42:09] Makima**
if you can't get results.
**[42:11] Makima**
I don't need to explain what would happen
to you two if that happens, do I?

Looks like she's the Leech Devil.
May I swallow?
**[43:02] Aki**
Do it.
**[43:20] Aki**
The Leech Devil's extermination is confirmed.
**[43:22] Aki**
I want the rookies handling search
and rescue, plus assisting with the evac.
**[43:25] Arai**
Yes, sir!
**[43:25] Kobeni**
Okay!
**[43:26] Aki**
Himeno, you've got seniority,
so keep watch for more devils.
**[43:30] Himeno**
On it.
**[43:32] Denji**
Dream battle... Gonna... My dream battle...
**[43:37] Aki**
You and the Blood Fiend
need to be debriefed.
**[43:40] Denji**
My dream battle!

We're gonna starve to death.
**[44:15] Arai**
H-Hang in there, Kobeni!
**[44:17] Arai**
Didn't you become a Devil Hunter
to send your brother to college?!
**[44:21] Kobeni**
They basically forced me to do it.
**[44:24] Kobeni**
My parents are set on my
older brother going to college,
**[44:26] Kobeni**
since he's the gifted one.
**[44:28] Kobeni**
So they made me get a job.
**[44:31] Kobeni**
It was become a Devil Hunter
or a sex worker!
**[44:39] Kobeni**
I wanted to go to college, too!
**[44:42] Kobeni**
And now I'm gonna die here!
**[44:51] Power**
Her face...!
**[44:54] Arai**
Enough!
**[44:56] Arai**
Quit laughing!
**[44:59] Himeno**
Kobeni, devils love fear, okay?
**[45:04] Himeno**
If you get scared, you're giving them
what they want, sweetie.
**[45:07] Kobeni**
But I'm so scared!
**[45:11] Himeno**
Something bothering you, too, Aki?
**[45:16] Aki**
The clocks in this room...
**[45:18] Aki**
have been stuck at 8:18 for a while now.
**[45:21] Aki**
In every single room... it's 8:18.
**[45:28] Aki**
There's a chance that time has been
frozen here on the eighth floor.
**[45:33] Aki**
And if that's the case, no one is coming.
**[45:39] Denji**
Oh, shit! Then we can sleep all we want, right?
**[45:43] Arai**
How stupid are you?
**[45:45] Arai**
We might be trapped in here forever.
**[45:50] Denji**
I mean, we might be, but we
might not be, too, y'know?
**[45:54] Denji**
Wake me when you figure it out.
**[45:56] Denji**
This bed is freaking sweet.
It'd be stupid not to sleep in it.
**[46:00] Denji**
I owe the devil for this nap.
**[46:13] Aki**
He's actually asleep...
**[46:18] Himeno**
Denji.
**[46:20] Himeno**
Rise and shine, Denji.
**[46:29] Denji**
We find a way off the eighth floor yet?
**[46:31] Himeno**
Hate to break it to you, but not yet.
**[46:34] Himeno**
We found out the power and electricity
are still working while you were asleep.
**[46:39] Himeno**
There was a little bit of food that some of
the guests who ran must've left behind.
**[46:44] Himeno**
I'll be honest, everyone's really worn out.
**[46:48] Himeno**
Aki's been searching
for the devil nonstop.
**[46:51] Himeno**
I told him to take a break,
but he won't listen.
**[46:55] Himeno**
Arai was helping Aki at first,
**[46:59] Himeno**
but now he's locked himself up in
another room to have a panic attack.
**[47:03] Himeno**
Kobeni freaked out and tried to drink
toilet bowl water, so I knocked her out.
**[47:08] Himeno**
And as for the Fiend...
**[47:11] Denji**
Something happen to Power?
**[47:13] Power**
Given there's nothing else to do,
I've decided to win the Nobel Prize!
**[47:16] Power**
Once I've earned such glorious esteem,
the humans will all kowtow to me!
**[47:20] Power**
And with the Nobel Prize as my foothold,
**[47:23] Power**
I shall ascend to the prime minister's throne!
**[47:25] Power**
What better way to ensure human suffering?
**[47:29] Power**
My first act will be passing a 100% sales tax!
**[47:33] Denji**
She's always like that.
**[47:34] Himeno**
Huh. Okay, then.
**[47:38] Himeno**
Let's take turns watching Kobeni and Arai.
**[47:41] Himeno**
I couldn't even use the bathroom
when it was just me.
**[48:00] Himeno**
Well, this is my last cigarette.
**[48:03] Power**
I'm bored by how little this upsets you.
**[48:05] Himeno**
I can take it easy because
Aki's working hard.
**[48:11] Himeno**
The nicotine also helps!
**[48:13] Himeno**
Gotta have a port in a storm, right?
**[48:17] Himeno**
Life is sweeter with a bit of dependence.
**[48:20] Denji**
Hey, that's the same brand he smokes.
**[48:26] Himeno**
That's because Aki learned all
about the flavor of cigarettes
**[48:29] Himeno**
from yours truly!
**[48:39] Mukai**
Thank you so much!
**[48:44] Mukai**
Thank you for the applause,
that was our live reading!
**[48:46] Mukai**
How did you all like it?
**[48:51] Mukai**
So good!
**[48:53] Mukai**
That was really amazing!
What in the world? Wow!
**[48:57] Mukai**
And at the end there,
with the back and forth,
**[48:59] Mukai**
everyone in such different
emotional places...
**[49:01] Mukai**
And doing it all in one go
like that! Remarkable!
**[49:04] Mukai**
While the shock hasn't worn off yet,
**[49:07] Mukai**
I thought I would invite the rest of the cast
**[49:10] Mukai**
to give their impressions
from the live reading.
**[49:14] Mukai**
First up is Hamano-san and Taichi-san.
Come on over, please!
**[49:18] Hamano**
Coming.
**[49:19] Taichi**
Here.
**[49:21] Hamano**
Wow...
**[49:26] Hamano**
Scenes like that are really nice too, huh?
**[49:28] Mukai**
They really are!
**[49:29] Mukai**
I think it's fair to say
the first half of the show
**[49:33] Mukai**
has more laid-back scenes like that.
**[49:37] Hamano**
Right.
**[49:38] Mukai**
But even among those, there's still
so much variety in what you get.
**[49:42] Mukai**
What did you think, Taichi-san?
**[49:43] Taichi**
This is something I believe
the audience probably got too, but...
**[49:47] Taichi**
Seeing it live, in real time...
**[49:50] Taichi**
The emotions come across
more vividly, I think.
**[49:54] Taichi**
It felt even more realistic, I think.
**[49:57] Hamano**
It did.
**[49:58] Taichi**
I think that made it really interesting for
the people who were watching and listening.
**[50:02] Taichi**
What do you say?
**[50:04] Taichi**
Thank you.
**[50:07] Taichi**
I was impressed.
**[50:09] Hamano**
I dunno about that 100% sales tax, though.
**[50:12] Taichi**
Tell me about it! What the heck?
**[50:14] Mukai**
I really wouldn't take her
that seriously, to be honest.
**[50:16] Mukai**
She already stopped making sense when
she decided to win the Nobel Prize.
**[50:20] Hamano**
I could see her becoming president, though.
**[50:21] Mukai**
You really think she'd get that far?
**[50:23] Mukai**
You have that kind of faith?
**[50:24] Taichi**
I'd say she has a better
than zero percent chance.
**[50:26] Mukai**
I'd want to think it is zero.
**[50:28] Taichi**
I guess so...
**[50:29] Mukai**
But that was an amazing live reading.
**[50:33] Mukai**
And there's more to come!
**[50:34] Mukai**
So I hope you'll all
look forward to that, too.
**[50:38] Taichi**
Right.
**[50:38] Mukai**
Now that we've finished up here,
let's move onto our next segment.
**[50:43] Mukai**
Next is a special segment:
"Our Music" Tour Edition!
**[50:49] Taichi**
Yeah!
**[50:50] Hamano**
Yeah!
**[50:52] Mukai**
"Our Music" was a special Chainsaw Man
radio program that aired until recently.
**[50:56] Mukai**
It featured guest artists who would come
on to discuss the appeal of Chainsaw Man,
**[51:01] Mukai**
so this time, for the
touring edition, the conversation
**[51:04] Mukai**
will be between our seven cast members
and our musical performers!
**[51:08] Mukai**
That is quite a lineup!
**[51:09] Hamano**
It sure is.
**[51:09] Taichi**
Really! You don't see that every day.
**[51:10] Hamano**
I'm looking forward to hearing
what everyone has to say.
**[51:13] Mukai**
Let's start by being joined by the rest
of the cast, if you could all come on stage.
**[51:19] Mukai**
You can go on and join them,
Hamano-san, Taichi-san.
**[51:22] Hamano**
Sure.
**[51:27] Mukai**
Wow...
**[51:31] Mukai**
There's the guy who was yawning earlier.
**[51:36] Mukai**
But it was part of the performance.
It was really convincing!
**[51:37] Toya**
That it was.
**[51:38] Mukai**
Great back and forth with Himeno, too.
**[51:40] Mukai**
And next, let's introduce our musical artists.
**[51:45] Mukai**
They're going to be performing later on,
**[51:48] Mukai**
but first they'll be
joining us for this segment.
**[51:51] Mukai**
Let's have a big round of applause
for Syudou, TOOBOE, and Ano!
**[51:58] Syudou**
Thanks for having us!
**[52:05] Cast**
How cute!
**[52:06] Cast**
Really cute.
**[52:07] Mukai**
These are some wonderful
outfits you all have.
**[52:11] Mukai**
Go ahead and introduce
yourselves, if you would.
**[52:15] Mukai**
You first, Syudou-san.
**[52:16] Syudou**
Hey, I'm Syudou.
**[52:18] Syudou**
I'm really grateful to be up here
for something like this today.
**[52:22] Syudou**
Looking forward to talking,
so thanks for having me.
**[52:24] Mukai**
Thanks for coming.
**[52:28] Mukai**
Next up, TOOBOE-san, go ahead.
**[52:31] Tooboe**
I'm TOOBOE, it's nice to meet you.
**[52:33] Mukai**
Thanks for coming.
**[52:34] Tooboe**
I kinda get the feeling everyone wants
to hurry up and get to Ano-chan...
**[52:38] Ano**
That's not true!
**[52:40] Tooboe**
Don't worry about the guy in black.
**[52:42] Mukai**
That is your whole look, today.
**[52:43] Tooboe**
I'm glad to be here.
**[52:44] Mukai**
Thanks for coming.
**[52:47] Mukai**
And now let's hear from Ano-chan.
**[52:49] Ano**
Hi, I'm Ano, thanks for having me.
**[52:51] Mukai**
Thanks for coming!
**[52:53] Cast**
Are those chainsaws?
**[52:55] Mukai**
They sure are.
**[52:56] Mukai**
They're not quite symmetrical, too.
**[52:58] Ano**
I came today in the outfit
I wore in the music video.
**[53:02] Mukai**
Well, that is nice!
**[53:05] Mukai**
And what a lovely look it is.
She's the Style Devil.
**[53:11] Mukai**
Thanks for coming.
**[53:12] Mukai**
Aw, come on, don't look that disturbed.
**[53:15] Mukai**
That was good, actually. We got
an on-stage reaction of disgust!
**[53:18] Mukai**
Sorry about that.
**[53:20] Mukai**
And these will be our artists for today's
talk section. Thanks for coming, everyone.
**[53:25] Cast**
Thanks for joining us!
**[53:26] Artists**
Thanks!
**[53:28] Mukai**
You can all have a seat now.
**[53:31] Mukai**
This should be interesting.
**[53:34] Mukai**
So during the day, we had
the artists asking the cast questions,
**[53:38] Mukai**
but I think for tonight, we'll have
the cast ask questions for the artists.
**[53:43] Mukai**
First up, Taichi-san, go ahead.
**[53:45] Taichi**
So, what I would like to ask our artists is...
**[53:49] Taichi**
What was your first reaction upon hearing
**[53:53] Taichi**
you'd be working on
a project like Chainsaw Man?
**[53:57] Mukai**
That's a good one!
**[53:58] Mukai**
So, representing the artist's side,
let's hear from Ano-chan.
**[54:03] Mukai**
What did you think?
**[54:04] Ano**
Well, to be honest, the first
thing I felt was surprised.
**[54:10] Mukai**
I see.
**[54:11] Ano**
Like, "They want me?!"
**[54:14] Ano**
And then after that, I was really glad.
**[54:20] Mukai**
You shifted from surprise to happiness?
**[54:21] Ano**
I started getting happy, and excited,
thinking about what kind of song it should be.
**[54:27] Ano**
And how the project would shape up,
with all the different artists involved.
**[54:32] Ano**
It was a real mix of different feelings.
**[54:35] Mukai**
Would you say you felt the same kind
of anticipation that the viewers did?
**[54:41] Ano**
I think so. I was really
looking forward to it.
**[54:44] Mukai**
That's good. You really
had a earnest reaction.
**[54:48] Mukai**
Let's talk to Syudou-san, too.
What did you think at the time?
**[54:52] Syduou**
Well, at first, I couldn't believe it.
I was really overjoyed.
**[54:57] Syduou**
Before the anime was even in production,
this was a story that I really loved
**[55:01] Syduou**
and wanted to be involved in.
**[55:03] Syduou**
So when I first heard that I was gonna
be involved, I was like, "For real?!"
**[55:08] Mukai**
You didn't believe it at first?
**[55:09] Syudou**
Right.
**[55:10] Syudou**
And as the meetings and such started
to happen, I got the chance to visit MAPPA,
**[55:15] Syudou**
and talking with all the different staff,
**[55:17] Syudou**
I realized, "This is probably too
elaborate for a practical joke."
**[55:21] Mukai**
And is that still a possibility, then?
**[55:23] Syudou**
It is?! After all this?
**[55:24] Mukai**
Probably not at this point, no.
**[55:26] Syudou**
Yeah, once the show actually aired,
I figured that theory was dead.
**[55:31] Syudou**
But back in the meetings is when it really
dawned on me that it was actually happening.
**[55:34] Syudou**
It's just been such
a huge surprise, and honor.
**[55:38] Syudou**
This has really been a wonderful gig.
**[55:41] Mukai**
Shock and then excitement seems
to have been the course, then.
**[55:46] Syduou**
I'd say so, that about covers it.
**[55:48] Mukai**
What do you think, Taichi-san?
**[55:50] Taichi**
Honestly, a lot of the cast really
loved the manga beforehand, too.
**[55:58] Taichi**
So when they posted the casting announcements,
you'd see in the comments we gave...
**[56:01] Taichi**
Almost everyone said something like, "I loved
the manga and am thrilled to be involved!"
**[56:07] Taichi**
So I definitely feel sympathy
when it comes to the shock
**[56:11] Taichi**
of getting to work on something like this.
**[56:15] Mukai**
The original manga really
did take the world by storm.
**[56:18] Taichi**
It did.
**[56:19] Mukai**
That is interesting.
**[56:22] Mukai**
Let's keep it going. Takahashi-san,
do you have a question for us?
**[56:26] Takhashi**
Yes! I was wanting to ask,
**[56:28] Takhashi**
the individual songs really
did feel pretty tailored
**[56:31] Takhashi**
to the episodes that they aired with,
**[56:33] Takhashi**
so I was curious if you had any thoughts
to share from the production process.
**[56:35] Takhashi**
And also how did you end up with
the episodes you ended up working on?
**[56:40] Mukai**
That is an interesting question, right.
**[56:42] Mukai**
Let's start with you, TOOBOE-san.
**[56:45] Tooboe**
Right.
**[56:46] Mukai**
If you could take the lead here,
since we've actually got two questions.
**[56:49] Tooboe**
Well, regarding the episode,
**[56:52] Tooboe**
the folks at MAPPA actually told me
I would be working on episode 4.
**[56:57] Tooboe**
And they gave me a look
at the storyboard for it.
**[57:02] Tooboe**
Naturally, I had read the manga,
so I knew the sequence of events involved...
**[57:07] Tooboe**
So, knowing it would end on
the scene with grabbing Power's boob,
**[57:11] Tooboe**
they asked me to do a song about her
that would follow that moment.
**[57:16] Tooboe**
I honestly thought, "Are you
sure you want me for this?"
**[57:19] Mukai**
You felt that, too?
**[57:21] Tooboe**
I wondered if a girl would be better
suited to singing a song about Power.
**[57:27] Tooboe**
But I thought about why they
would have picked me for the job...
**[57:32] Tooboe**
And made the song trying
to represent my perspective,
**[57:38] Tooboe**
or really more Denji's perspective on Power.
**[57:42] Takahashi**
Thank you so much!
**[57:44] Mukai**
Hearing all that, it makes you
think about how it was created.
**[57:47] Mukai**
And considering we saw
the complete version first,
**[57:50] Mukai**
it always seemed like a perfect fit.
**[57:51] Takahashi**
That's true.
**[57:53] Mukai**
That's really interesting.
**[57:54] Mukai**
Let's hear from Ano-chan, too.
**[57:57] Ano**
Well, MAPPA said they
wanted me to do episode 7.
**[58:03] Ano**
And I thought... "Wow, this is a crazy one."
**[58:07] Mukai**
That is true!
Once you find out what it's about.
**[58:10] Ano**
And since I'd read the manga too,
**[58:12] Ano**
and considering the story changes so much
starting with the next episode...
**[58:18] Ano**
It's like the last scene
before that big change.
**[58:22] Ano**
And just like TOOBOE-san, I wondered...
**[58:25] Ano**
"You've got so many
amazing artists. Why me?"
**[58:30] Ano**
But I realized that's why
I should try to do the kind of song
**[58:33] Ano**
only I could create and perform.
**[58:36] Ano**
So, based off having read the manga,
**[58:39] Ano**
I wanted to make the kind
of song that I would like...
**[58:46] Ano**
And from there, it was about combining
the different parts and balancing it.
**[58:50] Ano**
And that's how we ended up
with "Barfy Smooch."
**[58:53] Mukai**
It's honestly pretty impressive,
**[58:55] Mukai**
because in terms of impact, your song
is definitely one of the best in class.
**[58:58] Mukai**
What do you think, Takahashi-san?
**[59:01] Takahashi**
I'm just honestly impressed how you
all created such amazingly unique songs,
**[59:06] Takahashi**
but they fit the episodes perfectly.
**[59:08] Takahashi**
It's impressive that MAPPA knew
who to assign which episode, too.
**[59:11] Mukai**
Right? The fact that they were able to pick
**[59:14] Mukai**
the right artist for the right
episode is really something.
**[59:16] Takahashi**
It is.
**[59:18] Mukai**
And they all were a perfect match.
**[59:20] Takashi**
Thank you so much!
**[59:22] Mukai**
That was really a great question.
Great question and great answers.
**[59:26] Mukai**
Not the kind of thing you can hear every day.
**[59:29] Mukai**
I'd like to hear from everyone,
so let's keep it rolling.
**[59:32] Mukai**
Sakata-san! Let's go.
**[59:34] Sakata**
Sure.
**[59:35] Sakata**
And I came up with a good one.
**[59:38] Mukai**
You're getting our hopes up!
**[59:39] Taichi**
Here we go.
**[59:40] Sakata**
When you were writing the music and lyrics...
**[59:45] Sakata**
And really, during any part of the process,
**[59:48] Sakata**
was there any particular moment where you
thought, "That's it!" in terms of inspiration?
**[59:51] Artists**
Oh, right.
**[59:53] Sakata**
Like, were you in any particular place
at the time, like at home on the sofa maybe.
**[59:57] Sakata**
I was curious about that.
**[59:59] Mukai**
Interesting. What was the moment
that the song really came to you?
**[1:00:02] Mukai**
Let's find out.
**[1:00:04] Mukai**
What do you think? Syudou-san.
**[1:00:05] Syudou**
Well, it tends to change over time,
but recently, I bought a car.
**[1:00:14] Syudou**
And when I'm driving,
I'll sometimes have moments
**[1:00:16] Syudou**
where I'm like, "Wait, what
if I did this? That'd be great!"
**[1:00:21] Syudou**
But because I'm driving,
I can't take a voice memo,
**[1:00:24] Syudou**
so I'll pull over and sing really loud, and
get really weird looks from pedestrians.
**[1:00:29] Syudou**
And then once I'm done it's like,
"Okay, done!" and I head home.
**[1:00:33] Syudou**
It tends to happen while
driving a lot, lately.
**[1:00:35] Mukai**
I see.
**[1:00:36] Mukai**
And the inspiration really does
just come out of the blue like that?
**[1:00:39] Syudou**
Well, it usually only comes after having
thought about it for a good while...
**[1:00:43] Syudou**
But the thing with a car is, you can
get pretty loud while driving.
**[1:00:46] Syudou**
And I think not having to worry about
my volume helps me unlock something.
**[1:00:51] Sakata**
Thank you very much.
**[1:00:53] Mukai**
That is great. Having it
come up at a time like that...
**[1:00:55] Mukai**
In comparison, Ano-chan,
how does it work for you?
**[1:00:58] Ano**
Honestly, a lot of it is
while doing normal things.
**[1:01:02] Ano**
Or sometimes, I'll be
listening to someone talk...
**[1:01:05] Mukai**
That makes it sound like
you're not really listening!
**[1:01:08] Mukai**
If it comes to you in a conversation.
**[1:01:10] Ano**
It's just, at times like that,
**[1:01:12] Ano**
little bits of other songs
will be bouncing around my head,
**[1:01:16] Ano**
and when the idea hits, I'll usually head
to the bathroom and record a voice memo.
**[1:01:21] Mukai**
That seems to be really common.
**[1:01:23] Ano**
Sometimes it'll be at home while showering,
or when I'm in an elevator...
**[1:01:29] Ano**
It can really happen at any time.
**[1:01:33] Mukai**
I guess with melodies and such,
you can think about it non-stop,
**[1:01:35] Mukai**
and then just have
the answer spring up on you.
**[1:01:38] Mukai**
What do you think, Sakata-san?
**[1:01:40] Sakata**
I just have to say thanks.
**[1:01:43] Sakata**
It's like... kinda...
**[1:01:45] Taichi**
He's babbling! And the question was so good!
**[1:01:48] Mukai**
Sakata-san...
**[1:01:48] Hamano**
It's his vocabulary.
His vocabulary vanished.
**[1:01:50] Sakata**
I just wasn't ready to get the mic again!
**[1:01:52] Sakata**
It was so sudden!
**[1:01:54] Mukai**
He's acting like a nerd at a meet-and-greet.
**[1:01:56] Taichi**
He got swept away.
**[1:01:59] Sakata**
That definitely satisfied
my curiosity, so thank you.
**[1:02:02] Mukai**
That it did. Do you find
it's the same, TOOBOE-san,
**[1:02:04] Mukai**
that inspiration comes to you out
of nowhere and you have to take a voice memo?
**[1:02:08] Tooboe**
For me, it's more like it never comes at all.
**[1:02:11] Tooboe**
So I hunker down at my desk, open up
my music production software...
**[1:02:17] Tooboe**
And just sort of build it piece by piece.
**[1:02:20] Tooboe**
I've never even taken a voice memo before.
**[1:02:23] Mukai**
Never?
**[1:02:25] Tooboe**
Never. I can't get started unless
I'm sitting at my desk, I think.
**[1:02:30] Tooboe**
Like I'm never sitting in the bath and
have it descend on me out of nowhere.
**[1:02:33] Mukai**
Really?
**[1:02:34] Mukai**
That really proves how it works
differently for everyone, then.
**[1:02:37] Sakata**
Really.
**[1:02:37] Mukai**
Thank you so much.
**[1:02:39] Sakata**
Thanks.
**[1:02:40] Mukai**
Okay, Fairouz-san, you're up.
**[1:02:42] Fairouz**
Okay, here's my question!
**[1:02:43] Fairouz**
If you were going to form a band with
anyone in Chainsaw Man, who would it be?
**[1:02:47] Mukai**
I see. I wonder who would it be?
**[1:02:50] Mukai**
Let's keep the momentum going...
**[1:02:52] Cast**
I wonder who.
**[1:02:53] Mukai**
Don't try and guess!
Don't put words in their mouths.
**[1:02:56] Mukai**
What do you think, TOOBOE-san?
**[1:02:58] Tooboe**
I mean, it's obviously Power.
**[1:03:01] Mukai**
Makes sense!
**[1:03:02] Tooboe**
Thank you.
**[1:03:03] Cast**
Yeah, of course.
**[1:03:04] Power**
Victory is mine!
**[1:03:06] Mukai**
She asked her question and
got the answer she wanted.
**[1:03:10] Tooboe**
On the radio show, I sang
the song "Jozai" with Fairouz-san...
**[1:03:17] Fairouz**
That's right.
**[1:03:18] Tooboe**
And having a song I wrote about
a character being sung by that character...
**[1:03:26] Tooboe**
That was pretty profound.
**[1:03:29] Mukai**
Makes sense.
**[1:03:29] Tooboe**
I had a nerdy cry over that one.
**[1:03:32] Fairouz**
He really was acting like a nerd
at a meet-and-greet over that one.
**[1:03:36] Mukai**
Another one?
**[1:03:36] Mukai**
Again?
**[1:03:37] Tooboe**
It's true.
**[1:03:39] Fairouz**
But the thing with TOOBOE-san's songs is
they're written for a lower, masculine tone,
**[1:03:45] Fairouz**
but when I tried to sing it using Power's
voice, which is higher, it still worked,
**[1:03:52] Fairouz**
and that was really striking to me.
**[1:03:55] Tooboe**
Thanks for that.
**[1:03:56] Fairouz**
Right, it was awesome.
**[1:03:57] Tooboe**
I'd definitely pick Power.
I'd want her on guitar and vocals.
**[1:04:00] Mukai**
Guitar and vocals! That sounds really good.
**[1:04:04] Mukai**
I can really picture that.
**[1:04:06] Mukai**
What do you think, Syudou-san?
**[1:04:07] Syudou**
Well...
**[1:04:08] Mukai**
Out of the group we have here.
**[1:04:10] Syudou**
Well, I'd like to work with any of them,
**[1:04:13] Syudou**
but I personally think
Aki would be a good choice.
**[1:04:16] Mukai**
That was fast!
**[1:04:18] Taichi**
He's really raring to go.
**[1:04:20] Sakata**
I'll be waiting when season two happens.
**[1:04:22] Syudou**
I think the thing with Aki is
that he's managing to live his life
**[1:04:27] Syudou**
despite being surrounded by a pair of maniacs,
**[1:04:30] Syudou**
and I tend to be pretty lazy
about booking studio time...
**[1:04:33] Syudou**
So I'd appreciate having him around to
look after the details and complex stuff.
**[1:04:36] Taichi**
That sounds like you want
him for your management!
**[1:04:39] Toya**
Is that really part of the band?
**[1:04:40] Sakata**
I'll take care of it.
**[1:04:42] Mukai**
For errands?
**[1:04:44] Mukai**
It'd really make me feel more relaxed
**[1:04:46] Cast**
I'd like to see that.
**[1:04:47] Mukai**
True.
**[1:04:48] Sakata**
I think he'd look good with a bass.
**[1:04:50] Fairouz**
I could see that.
**[1:04:51] Fairouz**
Sort of a power player,
who stays out of the spotlight.
**[1:04:54] Syudou**
He's got that real stable vibe.
**[1:04:56] Mukai**
I see.
**[1:04:57] Mukai**
That sounds like a pretty sincere pick!
**[1:04:59] Fairouz**
Yeah!
**[1:05:01] Mukai**
And yet Toya-san wasn't picked...
**[1:05:04] Toya**
Why, though?!
**[1:05:06] Toya**
To be honest, I think that Syudou-san's music,
**[1:05:09] Toya**
or maybe his state of mind
has a lot in common with Denji.
**[1:05:13] Toya**
And I think Syudou-san mentioned
something about his motivation,
**[1:05:17] Toya**
his motivation for playing music
being to get chicks...
**[1:05:20] Syudou**
That really is it!
**[1:05:21] Mukai**
Really? Wow.
**[1:05:22] Syudou**
Yep.
**[1:05:23] Toya**
Which is why I thought you might pick Denji.
**[1:05:27] Syudou**
I kind of think we'd
end up fighting instead.
**[1:05:29] Fairouz**
Oh, that really, makes sense!
**[1:05:31] Mukai**
I see!
**[1:05:32] Syudou**
It'd turn into "Me! No, me!"
**[1:05:33] Cast**
I could see that.
**[1:05:35] Syudou**
It's fun to imagine, though.
**[1:05:37] Fairouz**
It does paint a funny picture.
**[1:05:39] Mukai**
So the choice was made with balance in mind.
**[1:05:42] Mukai**
Makes sense. Thank you very much.
**[1:05:43] Fairouz**
Thank you!
**[1:05:44] Syudou**
No problem.
**[1:05:45] Mukai**
Let's keep going, Hamano-san?
**[1:05:46] Hamano**
Right!
**[1:05:47] Hamano**
Well, during the show, Sideburns Man
tends to be pretty picky about ramen...
**[1:05:52] Mukai**
Sideburns Man?
**[1:05:53] Hamano**
And I was wondering
if our artists have anything
**[1:05:58] Hamano**
that they are especially particular about.
**[1:06:00] Mukai**
Makes sense.
**[1:06:02] Mukai**
It could be so many things
related to composing, writing lyrics...
**[1:06:06] Mukai**
Or things about the venues for a
performance of musical instruments.
**[1:06:10] Mukai**
Syudou-san, what do you say?
**[1:06:12] Syudou**
Well, there's a few things
I'm particular about,
**[1:06:15] Syudou**
but the first thing that came to mind
when I heard the question
**[1:06:18] Syudou**
was how I'm really particular about ramen.
**[1:06:20] Syudou**
For real.
**[1:06:21] Hamano**
We can talk about ramen.
**[1:06:22] Syudou**
I feel a little bad taking this so literally,
**[1:06:25] Syudou**
but you know how iekei-style ramen is a style?
**[1:06:27] Hamano**
It's so good, too.
**[1:06:28] Syudou**
And there are a few places,
I'm not gonna mention by name,
**[1:06:30] Syudou**
but I'm like, "This is not iekei."
**[1:06:33] Cast**
That makes sense.
**[1:06:34] Syudou**
They're good, too, and maybe it's just me,
but I'm like, "This is not real iekei ramen."
**[1:06:41] Toya**
There's the territorial aspect, too.
**[1:06:42] Syduou**
Right, like, "Where did this come from?"
**[1:06:44] Hamano**
Are we still talking about ramen?
**[1:06:45] Mukai**
I think we are?
**[1:06:47] Mukai**
We are, aren't we?
**[1:06:48] Hamano**
I didn't mean about ramen
in particular, though.
**[1:06:52] Syudou**
I'm glad to hear Toya-kun gets it, though.
**[1:06:54] Mukai**
What about when making music, though?
**[1:06:56] Syudou**
Oh yeah, of course I do with music.
**[1:06:58] Syudou**
Let's see...
**[1:07:00] Syudou**
I tend to revise lyrics a lot, I think.
**[1:07:02] Mukai**
Lyrics? That makes sense.
**[1:07:05] Syudou**
Until I get it sounding right,
**[1:07:07] Syudou**
I really don't let go until
the last second a lot of the time.
**[1:07:12] Mukai**
I get that, when you start thinking,
"There's a better way to put this..."
**[1:07:16] Mukai**
And you want to get 100% instead of 99%.
**[1:07:19] Syudou**
That sounds right. It can
sometimes feel like it'll never end.
**[1:07:24] Mukai**
I see, that makes sense.
**[1:07:26] Mukai**
What about you, TOOBOE-san?
**[1:07:29] Tooboe**
Well, I tend to be
particular about lyrics, too.
**[1:07:32] Tooboe**
I like the grammar sounding a certain way...
**[1:07:35] Tooboe**
I also put a lot of thought into
what the first person pronouns are.
**[1:07:39] Tooboe**
What the singer should be represented as...
**[1:07:42] Tooboe**
It tends to change the character
of the whole song.
**[1:07:47] Tooboe**
So that's something
I pay a lot of attention to.
**[1:07:52] Mukai**
I can see how that'd make a difference.
**[1:07:54] Mukai**
And considering it's something
you've paid a lot of attention to,
**[1:07:58] Mukai**
there's bound to have been times
when you felt it paid off, too, right?
**[1:08:00] Tooboe**
I think so,
**[1:08:01] Tooboe**
I've always felt good about the releases
once they come out, thanks to that.
**[1:08:04] Mukai**
That makes sense.
It's cool how that works out.
**[1:08:08] Hamano**
It really is, and it goes to show how
he got involved in a project like this.
**[1:08:16] Tooboe**
You really have a good voice.
**[1:08:17] Hamano**
Aw, come on!
**[1:08:20] Mukai**
I mean, we do know he does.
**[1:08:22] Mukai**
Thanks for that.
**[1:08:23] Mukai**
Anyway, that covers that.
**[1:08:27] Mukai**
And now we've got a question from Twitter...
**[1:08:32] Mukai**
This is for TOOBOE-san.
**[1:08:35] Tooboe**
Okay.
**[1:08:36] Mukai**
"TOOBOE-san, am I imagining it,
or is there an homage to Chainsaw Man
**[1:08:41] Mukai**
in the lyrics of your song, 'Shinzo'?"
**[1:08:44] Tooboe**
That one's a coincidence.
**[1:08:46] Mukai**
Really?
**[1:08:47] Tooboe**
Definitely, definitely.
**[1:08:49] Tooboe**
I did produce that one around
the same time period as "Jozai," though,
**[1:08:55] Tooboe**
so I can't deny there might've
been some influence there.
**[1:09:02] Mukai**
Is that right?
**[1:09:03] Mukai**
I guess what's in your brain can come out
totally different, depending on intent.
**[1:09:09] Tooboe**
Right, the main difference is timing.
**[1:09:11] Tooboe**
The song that I'm coming out with
now has definitely been influenced
**[1:09:16] Tooboe**
by some of the things
I'm reading at the moment,
**[1:09:19] Tooboe**
so you can probably think of it
as being a similar case to that.
**[1:09:24] Mukai**
It's more the broader result
of something going into your head,
**[1:09:27] Mukai**
and coming out via your unique filter.
**[1:09:29] Tooboe**
That's right.
**[1:09:30] Tooboe**
Although I do see how the lyrics could
be applied to a story like Chainsaw Man,
**[1:09:34] Tooboe**
but that's more sort of seeing
things on a blank canvas.
**[1:09:38] Tooboe**
The exact themes are kind of broad,
like friendship, romance, and humanity.
**[1:09:44] Tooboe**
It's a song about different types of love.
**[1:09:49] Tooboe**
I see.
**[1:09:50] Tooboe**
And if there's a connection there,
I'd say it's because the story of Chainsaw Man
**[1:09:54] Tooboe**
deals with those kinds
of universal themes, too.
**[1:09:58] Mukai**
So it can be taken that way.
**[1:10:00] Tooboe**
I think so.
**[1:10:02] Mukai**
I see...
**[1:10:03] Mukai**
This is pretty remarkable, getting to hear
from musicians with this kind of detail.
**[1:10:08] Mukai**
What do you think, Ise-san?
**[1:10:10] Ise**
It's really impressive.
**[1:10:12] Ise**
I don't often get to speak
with the kind of creatives
**[1:10:16] Ise**
who create something from scratch like this,
**[1:10:21] Ise**
so I'm really struck
by their thought process.
**[1:10:24] Mukai**
Seriously, this segment
has turned out to be great.
**[1:10:29] Mukai**
Right?
**[1:10:30] Mukai**
Ano-chan, what do you...
**[1:10:32] Mukai**
You okay?
**[1:10:34] Ano**
Yes. Yes?
**[1:10:36] Mukai**
You sleepy?
**[1:10:37] Ano**
I'm awake.
**[1:10:38] Mukai**
You sure?
**[1:10:39] Mukai**
You seemed to cover your face
the second I started talking.
**[1:10:43] Mukai**
Am I right? Is my body odor
causing you problems, or...?
**[1:10:47] Tooboe**
I don't think that's it.
**[1:10:49] Tooboe**
Or at least, I'm not getting
any of it, so it's fine.
**[1:10:52] Mukai**
But still, getting to hear this all
has to be interesting for you, too.
**[1:10:57] Ano**
It really is. Even as another artist,
**[1:10:59] Ano**
I don't get to talk in detail
with others like this often,
**[1:11:02] Ano**
so I'm having a good time.
**[1:11:05] Mukai**
That really is nice.
**[1:11:06] Mukai**
Let's keep it going with
the Twitter questions, then.
**[1:11:09] Mukai**
This one is for Syudou-san...
**[1:11:12] Mukai**
"Previously, you had mentioned
your similarity to Denji.
**[1:11:15] Mukai**
If you became a Devil Hunter, what kind
of Devil would you contract with?"
**[1:11:20] Mukai**
This is just what we were
talking about with Toya-kun.
**[1:11:24] Syudou**
Right, since I started music because
I wanted to be popular and respected.
**[1:11:30] Syudou**
Which is something that
I think I have in common with Denji.
**[1:11:35] Syudou**
So if I'm going form a contract, maybe a
Popularity Devil, if there is one?
**[1:11:39] Cast**
The Popularity Devil?!
**[1:11:41] Toya**
What kind of power would that be?
**[1:11:44] Toya**
And you'd have to make some
kind of sacrifice, right?
**[1:11:46] Syudou**
That's right.
**[1:11:47] Toya**
So what would you sacrifice to be popular?
**[1:11:49] Syudou**
That's a really good question.
**[1:11:51] Sakata**
Your scalp? Maybe your scalp.
**[1:11:52] Cast**
Your scalp?
**[1:11:53] Cast**
They take it!
**[1:11:54] Toya**
But you get to be popular.
**[1:11:55] Fairouz**
It could be one of those where
everyone in the world loves you,
**[1:11:57] Fairouz**
except the person you want the most.
**[1:12:00] Fairouz**
No way!
**[1:12:00] Cast**
No way!
**[1:12:02] Sakata**
That's so emo!
**[1:12:03] Fairouz**
It is!
**[1:12:04] Cast**
Why would you be glad about that?
**[1:12:05] Syudou**
Seriously?
**[1:12:07] Syudou**
In the end, I do wanna
love somebody, though.
**[1:12:10] Cast**
That's cool!
**[1:12:12] Mukai**
Really.
**[1:12:14] Syudou**
I think I might have given the wrong answer
for this segment. I'm embarrassed now.
**[1:12:17] Mukai**
No, no, it's fine.
**[1:12:18] Mukai**
I think I'll mutter those words
as I fall to sleep tonight.
**[1:12:23] Mukai**
"In the end, I do wanna love somebody."
**[1:12:27] Mukai**
What a great question. Thank you to
all wonderful questions from Twitter.
**[1:12:32] Mukai**
But now with that answer, we've
gone about as far as we can for now.
**[1:12:38] Mukai**
That concludes "Our Music" Tour Edition!
**[1:12:43] Mukai**
Big thanks to our cast and our
musical artists for joining us.
**[1:12:46] Cast**
Thank you!
**[1:12:47] Syudou**
If you'd be so kind to clear the stage,
so we can get ready for the next corner.
**[1:12:51] Syudou**
Let's give them one last round of applause!
**[1:12:56] Syudou**
Thanks again.
**[1:12:59] Cast**
Thanks!
**[1:13:05] Mukai**
Those were all really good questions.
**[1:13:08] Mukai**
And we had a lot of great ones left.
**[1:13:11] Mukai**
I would've loved to ask some
more if we had more time.
**[1:13:18] Mukai**
I have no idea what Sakata-san
was thinking when he wrote this,
**[1:13:21] Mukai**
but he actually asked, "If you could share a
barfy smooch with someone, who would it be?"
**[1:13:26] Mukai**
What kind of question is that?!
**[1:13:29] Mukai**
But there are all kinds of characters, so...
**[1:13:33] Mukai**
Thanks again for the questions for Twitter.
**[1:13:36] Mukai**
Another good one was, "If you
had to make an ending theme
**[1:13:39] Mukai**
for an episode other
than the ones you handled,
**[1:13:44] Mukai**
which would it be?"
**[1:13:45] Mukai**
I could seriously just keep
asking these, all day long.
**[1:13:51] Mukai**
And as for our next segment,
**[1:13:53] ---**
**[1:13:54] Mukai**
after getting some insight into
the heads of these great artists, is...
**[1:14:02] Mukai**
The Chainsaw Man Concert Stage!
**[1:14:09] Mukai**
This is a bit of a twist, wouldn't you say?
**[1:14:14] Mukai**
For a stage comedian, it would be considered
having expectations raised too high.
**[1:14:21] Mukai**
Like having someone ask,
"What is comedy to you?"
**[1:14:23] Mukai**
and then right afterwards,
you have to do your routine.
**[1:14:26] Mukai**
As hard as that might seem,
**[1:14:28] Mukai**
we know these guests are capable
of easily pulling it off anyway.
**[1:14:38] Mukai**
So, next up on the concert stage,
we've got our second artist...
**[1:14:44] Mukai**
And that's Ano-san, who handled
the ending theme for episode 7.
**[1:14:51] Mukai**
After a battle against the Eternity Devil,
there was a welcome party for the rookies,
**[1:14:55] Mukai**
along with a "barfy smooch," a phrase that
trended all over Twitter at the time!
**[1:15:00] Mukai**
The ending song was remarkable
for its clever lyrical references,
**[1:15:04] Mukai**
and I hope you're all looking for it.
**[1:15:05] Mukai**
And then coming up after that, we've
got out third artist, TOOBOE-san
**[1:15:10] Mukai**
who was responsible
for the ending to episode 4!
**[1:15:16] Mukai**
The dances that accompanied
"Jozai" took over TikTok for a time.
**[1:15:24] Mukai**
Can you imagine what it'll be like live?
**[1:15:28] Mukai**
Just how hyped are you all to see that?!
**[1:15:34] Mukai**
Thank you so much!
**[1:15:35] Mukai**
Now, remember, you're cleared
to cheer and stand all you want,
**[1:15:38] Mukai**
we've got back to back numbers next:
**[1:15:39] Mukai**
Ano-chan's "Chu Tayousei" and
TOOBOE-san's "Jozai." Enjoy!
**[1:16:00] Ano**
Ano here! Is Chainsaw Man Fes fun or what?
**[1:19:01] Ano**
Thanks! That was me, Ano.
**[1:19:05] Ano**
Bye-bye.
**[1:19:23] Toboe**
Chainsaw Fes, we're the middle act.
**[1:19:26] Toboe**
This is the TOOBOE band.
Thanks for having us!
**[1:20:04] Toboe**
Everyone, go ahead and join us for this bit.
**[1:20:41] Toboe**
Let me see you clapping out there,
I know you've got energy left!
**[1:21:43] Toboe**
Let's hear you sing this part.
**[1:22:45] Mukai**
Thank you so much!
**[1:22:48] Mukai**
That was Ano-san and TOOBOE-san
from our concert stage!
**[1:22:53] Mukai**
Man, I really got chills that time.
**[1:22:59] Mukai**
Right? TOOBOE-san was out here
singing barefoot.
**[1:23:03] Mukai**
Come to think of it, he was
barefoot during the Q&A, too.
**[1:23:06] Mukai**
I guess that's true.
**[1:23:09] Mukai**
But man, what a stellar pair of performances!
**[1:23:13] Mukai**
Ano-chan and TOOBOE-san,
and two songs back to back.
**[1:23:15] Mukai**
Something you would only
get here at Chainsaw Fes!
**[1:23:18] Mukai**
Thank you so much!
**[1:23:21] Mukai**
We're on a roll. This is great!
**[1:23:23] Mukai**
Wow...
**[1:23:26] Mukai**
I'm hoping we can pull off the biggest
round of applause this year,
**[1:23:33] Mukai**
but next up after the concert stage...
**[1:23:35] Mukai**
What comes next, you might wonder?
**[1:23:38] Mukai**
Right? Well after that, comes this.
**[1:23:43] Mukai**
Get a load of this...
**[1:23:44] Mukai**
Whoops, almost tore my mic cord.
**[1:23:47] Mukai**
Could've fallen just now.
**[1:23:48] Mukai**
I better calm down some, but next up
is a live reading by our cast!
**[1:23:56] Mukai**
Now... let's move on,
**[1:23:59] Mukai**
and remember, you'll wanna
shower these actors in applause
**[1:24:02] Mukai**
once they finish these scenes.
**[1:24:04] Mukai**
And off we go, to a series of great scenes
from the back end of the anime.
**[1:24:08] Mukai**
It's the second half of our live readings!
**[1:24:11] Mukai**
Come on!

THE TASTE OF A KISS
**[1:24:28] Makima**
Excuse me. Another beer.
**[1:24:33] Makima**
So, what's this about kisses?
**[1:24:34] Denji**
* I don't want Ms. Makima*
* to see me kiss Himeno.*
**[1:24:39] Himeno**
No smoochies?
**[1:24:41] Denji**
*But I want a kiss with tongue just as bad!*
**[1:24:45] Denji**
*I've gotta try and change the subject!*
**[1:24:48] Denji**
Ms. Makima! Y'know, I got one
of them Gun Devil thingies!
**[1:24:53] Makima**
Yes, I heard. That's very impressive, Denji.
**[1:24:57] Aki**
We've never seen devils appearing with
Gun Devil flesh this frequently before.
**[1:25:02] Aki**
Given how the most recent one
was targeting Denji,
**[1:25:04] Aki**
something must be going on.
**[1:25:07] Aki**
Do you know what Denji's deal is, ma'am?
**[1:25:15] Power**
Relinquish that!
**[1:25:16] Power**
That, too, is mine!
**[1:25:21] Makima**
I'll tell you if you can outdrink me.
**[1:25:26] Aki**
Two more beers, please.
**[1:25:30] Himeno**
I want in on that! Make it three!
**[1:25:33] Power**
Horse sashimi! Fried chicken!
And more horse sashimi!
**[1:25:35] Denji**
Fried chicken!
**[1:25:42] Power**
That's mine, too.
**[1:25:43] Makima**
Another beer, if you would.
**[1:25:46] Lady Agent**
You're pretty impressive, Power.
**[1:25:48] Lady Agent**
There aren't a lot of Fiends
who can control their urge to kill.
**[1:25:52] Power**
A feat of my advanced IQ!
**[1:25:55] Lady Agent**
Is IQ part of it? How high is yours, then?
**[1:26:00] Power**
Um... 100?
**[1:26:01] Lady Agent**
Is that high?
**[1:26:03] Lady Agent**
I think my score was around 100, too.
**[1:26:07] Power**
Then it was 120.
**[1:26:08] Lady Agent**
If I remember right, Fushi's is high.
**[1:26:10] Fumi**
Specifically, 134.
**[1:26:12] Lady Agent**
Wow, must be proud enough
to actually remember it.
**[1:26:16] Power**
If I recall, mine was 500?
**[1:26:19] Power**
Perhaps 1000?
**[1:26:24] Makima**
Oh my.
**[1:26:27] Power**
The kiss is afoot!
**[1:26:31] Denji**
*She's watching!*
**[1:26:32] Denji**
*Ms. Makima's watching.*
**[1:26:34] Denji**
*But what is this?*
**[1:26:35] Denji**
*Is that a tongue I feel?*
**[1:26:37] Denji**
*Feels good... soft! Really soft!*
**[1:26:39] Denji**
*What the hell?! It's her tongue...*
**[1:26:41] Denji**
*But it's melting in my mouth?!*
**[1:26:43] Denji**
*That's... not... a tongue!*
**[1:26:45] Denji**
*It's puke!*
**[1:26:49] Male Agent**
Well, that's traumatic.
**[1:26:51] Makima**
Uh-oh...
**[1:26:53] Makima**
Excuse me, can we get
something to wipe this up?
**[1:26:56] Power**
Oh, this isn't good! Not good at all!
**[1:27:00] Power**
Denji will swallow anything
remotely nutritious!

GUNFIRE
**[1:27:59] Himeno**
Huh... It's Den-Den-Denji?
**[1:28:04] Himeno**
What are you doing in my place?
**[1:28:09] Himeno**
Did I bring you here?
**[1:28:13] Himeno**
Huh?
**[1:28:15] Denji**
I'm so dizzy... What the hell?
**[1:28:20] Himeno**
Y'know, I noticed you're
head over heels for Makima.
**[1:28:26] Denji**
My head's spinning...
**[1:28:28] Himeno**
You could do better than
that bitch, seriously.
**[1:28:31] Himeno**
You and Aki, fawning all over her!
**[1:28:37] Himeno**
Ugh...
**[1:28:39] Himeno**
Seriously!
**[1:28:40] Himeno**
Moo-ve on!
**[1:29:13] Himeno**
Wanna do it?

FROM KYOTO
**[1:29:55] Samurai Sword**
This time, I'm gonna split him in two.
**[1:29:58] Sawatari**
Don't damage the heart.
**[1:30:02] Denji**
I dunno what the fuck's going on...
**[1:30:05] Denji**
But it's easy enough to tell
you two are bad guys.
**[1:30:12] Denji**
I love bad guys, y'know...
**[1:30:15] Denji**
Nobody gives me any shit
when I carve 'em up!
**[1:30:21] Samurai Sword**
So I get to kill you a second time.
**[1:30:43] Denji**
Die!
**[1:31:00] Sign**
KATANA VS. CHAINSAW
**[1:31:26] Denji**
Guess you're awake.
**[1:31:29] Denji**
You really are like me, huh?
**[1:31:33] Denji**
Pulled that katana out of your arm,
**[1:31:35] Denji**
and the halves of your body
stuck back together.
**[1:31:40] Sideburns Man**
I'll kill you...
**[1:31:41] Sideburns Man**
You're fucking dead!
**[1:31:43] Denji**
Losers sure love to make noise, huh?
**[1:31:47] Denji**
We've got a while until
the cops show up to grab you.
**[1:31:52] Denji**
And to be honest,
I'm not really satisfied yet.
**[1:31:57] Denji**
You killed Himeno.
**[1:32:00] Denji**
That's one less hot lady in the world,
thanks to your stupid ass.
**[1:32:05] Denji**
But you don't seem to care, and you'll
get to spend the rest of your life in jail.
**[1:32:10] Denji**
How am I supposed to deal with that?
**[1:32:13] Sideburns Man**
Not like you can do anything about it.
You're just Public Safety's lapdog!
**[1:32:25] Denji**
We're about to have us a contest.
**[1:32:29] Aki**
Contest?
**[1:32:30] Denji**
Hey, great timing.
**[1:32:36] Aki**
This is Hayakawa from Division 4.
**[1:32:37] Aki**
Target is restrained on the train
tracks in front of the clock tower.
**[1:32:41] Aki**
Requesting backup.
**[1:32:42] Denji**
You wanna get in on this, too, Hayakawa?
**[1:32:45] Denji**
It's gonna be the best contest ever.
**[1:32:47] Aki**
What the hell are you talking about?
**[1:32:52] Denji**
See, he shot at Himeno...
**[1:32:55] Denji**
So I figure we get to take shots at him.
**[1:33:00] Denji**
That's why we'll make it a contest.
**[1:33:03] Denji**
We take turns giving him nut shots,
**[1:33:06] Denji**
and whoever gets him to scream the loudest
before the cops show up is the winner.
**[1:33:10] Sideburns Man**
What are you, psycho?!
**[1:33:19] Denji**
You in or what?
**[1:33:23] Aki**
Our job is to catch this guy.
**[1:33:28] Aki**
Not torture him to make
ourselves feel better.
**[1:33:32] Aki**
It's not like Himeno would've wanted that.
**[1:33:37] Denji**
That right?
**[1:34:04] Aki**
So...
**[1:34:07] Aki**
What do I get if I win?
**[1:34:10] Denji**
His family jewels, of course!
**[1:34:14] Sideburns Man**
Hey...
**[1:34:16] Sideburns Man**
Hang on, hang on!
**[1:34:17] Sideburns Man**
Don't do it, come on—
**[1:34:56] Aki**
*Himeno... Can you hear this up in heaven?*
**[1:35:04] Aki**
*We're playing a requiem for you.*
**[1:35:27] Mukai**
Thank you so much!
**[1:35:33] Mukai**
And those were live readings from
the second half of Chainsaw Man.
**[1:35:37] Mukai**
Thanks so much to our cast.
**[1:35:40] Mukai**
Well, man, that was awesome!
**[1:35:43] Mukai**
I'm so glad I like Chainsaw Man!
**[1:35:45] Mukai**
I'm so glad I like anime!
**[1:35:47] Mukai**
It was so... what did you guys think?
**[1:35:51] Mukai**
That was really amazing!
**[1:35:55] Mukai**
And now, let's get some impressions
about the live reading,
**[1:36:00] Mukai**
Ise-san, Takahashi-san, come on down!
**[1:36:03] Takahashi**
Coming! Thank you!
**[1:36:03] Ise**
Thanks.
**[1:36:04] Mukai**
Thank you so much!
**[1:36:07] Mukai**
That was amazing.
**[1:36:10] Takashi**
Thanks.
**[1:36:11] Mukai**
That was amazing!
**[1:36:12] Ise**
Really amazing!
**[1:36:14] Ise**
Those were really wild scenes.
**[1:36:16] Mukai**
They were! The ones they had you do.
**[1:36:18] Ise**
Boy, I sure didn't anticipate
doing that scene
**[1:36:21] Ise**
in front of a giant audience with Toya-kun.
**[1:36:26] Ise**
I was pretty nervous.
**[1:36:27] Mukai**
Yeah, but I can guarantee everyone
watching was way more nervous!
**[1:36:29] Ise**
Seriously?
**[1:36:30] Mukai**
Sorry if that just makes me
sound like a crazy fan, but...
**[1:36:35] Mukai**
But I can't help it, y'know,
amid the tension of a live reading.
**[1:36:41] Mukai**
And to be able to act so well at
a time like that is remarkable.
**[1:36:47] Mukai**
Takahashi-san, what did you think?
**[1:36:49] Takahashi**
It was really good.
**[1:36:50] Takahashi**
A scene like that,
that's a bit embarrassing...
**[1:36:54] Takahashi**
During the actual recording,
you mostly just see someone from behind.
**[1:36:57] Takahashi**
What does it feel to do it
when everyone can see your face?
**[1:37:00] Ise**
She's right, when you're
doing the actual recording
**[1:37:02] Ise**
no one is really looking at your face...
**[1:37:05] Ise**
So I have no idea what kind
of face I'm making while I act!
**[1:37:09] Mukai**
Makes sense.
**[1:37:10] Ise**
So I got pretty nervous...
**[1:37:13] Takahashi**
Really?
**[1:37:14] Takahashi**
You sounded really good though!
**[1:37:16] Mukai**
I think you did a great job.
**[1:37:18] Ise**
Thank you so much.
**[1:37:20] Ise**
As embarrassing as it was...
**[1:37:21] Ise**
But come to think of it, it was just me and
Toya-kun recording during the session, too.
**[1:37:26] Ise**
And when we were doing the audio test,
Toya-kun was kind of breathing hard...
**[1:37:33] Ise**
And during the scene where
Himeno is fumbling with his belt,
**[1:37:38] Ise**
which comes up next,
**[1:37:40] Ise**
and Toya-kun's ad-libbed
breathing was a little...
**[1:37:45] Ise**
It was too loud.
**[1:37:46] Mukai**
He was breathing too loud?
**[1:37:47] Ise**
And it was pretty funny when
we had to do another take.
**[1:37:50] Mukai**
Got a little too excited!
**[1:37:51] Mukai**
That's a youngster for you.
**[1:37:53] Ise**
I thought it was funny.
**[1:37:55] Mukai**
Fantastic. And if you would all be so kind,
**[1:37:59] Mukai**
let's have another round
of applause for that amazing voiceover.
**[1:38:04] Takahashi**
Thank you!
**[1:38:05] Ise**
Thank you.
**[1:38:08] Mukai**
Next up is a special segment,
The Chainsaw Man Custom Dice Talk!
**[1:38:16] Cast**
Yay!
**[1:38:19] Mukai**
We're going to have you roll a dice and then
talk a bit based on what subject comes up.
**[1:38:24] Mukai**
First up, let's have
the cast come back on stage.
**[1:38:28] Mukai**
And Ise-san, Takahashi-san,
if you'd take your seats...
**[1:38:32] Toya**
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa...
**[1:38:34] Toya**
Who wouldn't breathe hard
if they saw Himeno like that?
**[1:38:39] Mukai**
That's fair.
**[1:38:40] Toya**
You all get what I mean, right?
**[1:38:42] Mukai**
I think I get what you mean, then.
**[1:38:44] Toya**
And that's what I was going for out.
**[1:38:45] Mukai**
I also wanna point out...
**[1:38:47] Mukai**
That scream Hamano-san gave
when he was kicked like that.
**[1:38:49] Hamano**
Right.
**[1:38:51] Toya**
That was fantastic.
**[1:38:52] Hamano**
Doing that in front of
a big crowd, too, was a bit...
**[1:38:55] Cast**
I get what you mean!
**[1:38:56] Hamano**
To get kicked in the nuts...
and twice, at that.
**[1:39:00] Hamano**
It's a memorable experience.
**[1:39:02] Mukai**
Well, it was a wonderful reading.
**[1:39:04] Mukai**
And our artist guests are going to
join us for the dice discussion, as well.
**[1:39:10] Mukai**
Let's have them come back on out, please!
**[1:39:17] Mukai**
There we go, Syudou-san,
TOOBOE-san, and Ano-chan.
**[1:39:23] Mukai**
Okay, TOOBOE-san, you're going to
be barefoot for this segment, too?
**[1:39:26] Tooboe**
Yep, I have been the whole time.
**[1:39:28] Mukai**
I just realized that!
**[1:39:29] Mukai**
What are you, an elementary schooler?
**[1:39:32] Tooboe**
Nope, but I am barefoot.
**[1:39:34] Mukai**
Well, it's time for a barefoot discussion.
**[1:39:36] Mukai**
And the three of you will be joining us.
**[1:39:39] Mukai**
So, if you'd have a seat...
**[1:39:41] Mukai**
Now, let's roll the dice and get started.
**[1:39:46] Mukai**
Could you bring the dice out here, staff?
**[1:39:49] Mukai**
As you can see we have this big old dice,
with a number of subjects on it.
**[1:39:52] Front side sign**
Something I feel comfortable
talking about now
**[1:39:55] Mukai**
You'll see some of these are a bit
more directly taken from the manga...
**[1:39:56] Turned side sign**
Win
**[1:40:02] Side**
A subject with a few screws loose
**[1:40:02] Toya**
Really directly!
**[1:40:04] Cast**
Straight from the manga!
**[1:40:05] Mukai**
That's right.
**[1:40:06] Mukai**
And it's got a variety of sides.
**[1:40:08] Mukai**
So, let's start with Hamano-san.
**[1:40:12] Cast**
Good luck.
**[1:40:14] Hamano**
After the kicking I just took...
**[1:40:15] Mukai**
No, that was acting.
**[1:40:18] Hamano**
Okay.
**[1:40:19] Mukai**
Toss that for us.
**[1:40:24] Cast**
What's it gonna be? What's it gonna be?
**[1:40:26] Hamano**
Right.
**[1:40:27] Mukai**
What have we got?
**[1:40:29] Mukai**
If you could show the camera.
**[1:40:31] Hamano**
"Something weird that happened recently."
**[1:40:39] Mukai**
Okay, Hamano-san, if you've had any
weird experiences, I'd love to hear about them.
**[1:40:46] Hamano**
Has anything weird happened?
**[1:40:47] Toya**
Let's all discuss it.
**[1:40:49] Mukai**
It's not that kind of segment...
**[1:40:51] Taichi**
Can you call for aid?
**[1:40:54] Hamano**
Well, lately...
**[1:40:56] Hamano**
I mean, today's been pretty weird, I'd say.
**[1:40:58] Cast**
That's true!
**[1:40:59] Hamano**
Also, during the recording of Chainsaw Man,
**[1:41:03] Hamano**
I had to get kicked a whole lot...
**[1:41:07] Hamano**
For the best contest ever.
**[1:41:10] Hamano**
And then there was the game, where we
were doing all these different scenes.
**[1:41:15] Hamano**
I was doing the recording for that,
**[1:41:18] Hamano**
and I'm pretty sure
I had to do that scene again.
**[1:41:21] Mukai**
It's a pretty famous scene, after all.
**[1:41:24] Hamano**
And then there's today...
**[1:41:26] Hamano**
I'd say between over
the last six months to year,
**[1:41:30] Hamano**
I've gone through about eight
balls' worth of screaming.
**[1:41:35] Hamano**
Seriously.
**[1:41:36] Mukai**
Eight balls...
**[1:41:37] Mukai**
You make them sound like
the ingredients for ramen.
**[1:41:41] Hamano**
I get the feeling that, as vast
as the world of voice acting is,
**[1:41:45] Hamano**
you won't find anyone else caught up
in the best contest ever as much as me.
**[1:41:48] Mukai**
That is true!
**[1:41:50] Hamano**
That's the weirdest thing I can think of.
**[1:41:52] Hamano**
It's kind of a tough one?
**[1:41:54] Mukai**
That is true.
**[1:41:56] Cast**
It's hard to think of.
**[1:41:57] Mukai**
I would say that was pretty weird.
**[1:42:00] Mukai**
Let's ask our artists, too.
**[1:42:03] Hamano**
By all means.
**[1:42:04] Mukai**
Has anything weird
happened to you, Ano-chan?
**[1:42:08] Ano**
Something weird...
**[1:42:12] Ano**
There was something
I thought was kinda weird.
**[1:42:18] Ano**
Well, I'm a huge fan of Maximum the Hormone,
**[1:42:22] Ano**
who did another one
of the Chainsaw Man endings.
**[1:42:26] Ano**
I have been for a long time.
**[1:42:28] Ano**
And to me, being able to do
an ending for the same anime as them
**[1:42:33] Ano**
is honestly a world-changing
experience, for me.
**[1:42:36] Mukai**
That makes sense!
**[1:42:40] Ano**
And lately, Maximum the Hormone's
drummer, Nao-san...
**[1:42:45] Ano**
Her little person...
what do you call them? Her kid?
**[1:42:50] Mukai**
Little person?!
**[1:42:52] Mukai**
Wow!
**[1:42:53] Hamano**
Do kids come in different sizes?
**[1:42:55] Mukai**
Did you really have to beat
around the bush with that one?
**[1:42:57] Ano**
And Nao-chan...
**[1:42:58] Ano**
No, her kid!
**[1:43:00] Mukai**
Nao-san and her kid...
**[1:43:02] Ano**
I went out to eat with the two of them.
**[1:43:05] Mukai**
That sounds awesome!
**[1:43:06] Ano**
And after that, they took me to karaoke.
**[1:43:09] Cast**
Cool!
**[1:43:10] Ano**
And I got the sing Maximum
the Hormone songs with her...
**[1:43:14] Mukai**
Wow!
**[1:43:16] Ano**
That was like a dream for me,
so I'd really say
**[1:43:19] Ano**
my whole world has changed
in the last few years, I think.
**[1:43:23] Mukai**
That definitely is weird!
**[1:43:24] Mukai**
And something that happened
because of Chainsaw Man to boot.
**[1:43:29] Cast**
Wow!
**[1:43:30] Mukai**
That is neat.
**[1:43:32] Mukai**
Especially compared to someone who lost
eight testicles because of Chainsaw Man...
**[1:43:34] Hamano**
The show giveth, and the show taketh away.
**[1:43:39] Mukai**
That is nice.
**[1:43:41] Mukai**
I'd say if those are the weird stories we got,
that was an excellent roll of the dice.
**[1:43:46] Mukai**
Wouldn't you agree?
**[1:43:48] Mukai**
Now, you're up next, TOOBOE-san.
**[1:43:50] Mukai**
Throw the dice.
**[1:43:52] Mukai**
I mean, someone has to.
**[1:43:54] Hamano**
Everyone's gonna have that reaction.
**[1:43:56] Tooboe**
Even though you just got done screaming...
**[1:43:57] Tooboe**
Okay, let's do this.
**[1:43:59] Mukai**
Go ahead and roll.
**[1:44:02] Sakata**
I hope he wins.
**[1:44:03] Hamano**
I wonder what it is?
**[1:44:06] Mukai**
That's a win...
**[1:44:07] Hamano**
Hang on!
**[1:44:09] Toya**
It's like how a coin has to spin
four times for a coin toss to count.
**[1:44:11] Mukai**
You're a grown man, put some muscle into it.
**[1:44:13] Mukai**
One more time please.
**[1:44:16] Cast**
Wow!
**[1:44:18] Cast**
He won!
**[1:44:19] Mukai**
And there we go! He rolled a win!
**[1:44:23] Sakata**
Magnificent.
**[1:44:24] Mukai**
And when someone rolls a win,
and he did it legitimately this time,
**[1:44:29] Mukai**
it's time to do a drawing for a present!
**[1:44:33] Hamano**
That's how it works?!
**[1:44:34] Cast**
Wow!
**[1:44:35] Ano**
Yay!
**[1:44:35] Mukai**
Now, here's Pochita...
**[1:44:37] Guests**
Pochita!
**[1:44:39] Mukai**
And since it was TOOBOE-san
who rolled the win,
**[1:44:43] Mukai**
that means someone here will get
a T-shirt autographed by him today!
**[1:44:48] Mukai**
Now, let's have him autograph the T-shirt.
**[1:44:52] Tooboe**
Right now? Neat.
**[1:44:56] Mukai**
Now, Pochita, did you bring the lots?
**[1:44:59] Mukai**
You did? Oh, wow, that is close.
**[1:45:02] Mukai**
I wasn't expecting that.
**[1:45:04] Hamano**
He might dice you up.
**[1:45:06] Mukai**
Almost too close to comfort.
**[1:45:08] Mukai**
Okay, now he's autographed the shirt,
**[1:45:11] Mukai**
and now...
**[1:45:13] Sakata**
The paper bag Pochita's carrying looks
like it could fall apart at any second.
**[1:45:16] Mukai**
Right? Just rip!
**[1:45:19] Taichi**
It's those short arms...
**[1:45:20] Mukai**
Now, these lots have seat
numbers written on them.
**[1:45:23] Mukai**
And this shirt, which is being autographed
as we speak, will be selected with these.
**[1:45:28] Mukai**
Are we ready to draw?
**[1:45:29] Mukai**
Because here I go.
**[1:45:31] Mukai**
Okay... let's do this.
**[1:45:34] Mukai**
Here we go.
**[1:45:35] Mukai**
What number is it?
**[1:45:39] Mukai**
On the second floor...
**[1:45:43] Mukai**
Block B...
**[1:45:44] Non**
Where's B?
**[1:45:46] Cast**
Where are you, block B?!
**[1:45:50] Mukai**
For the person sitting
in row 9, seat number 15!
**[1:45:55] Mukai**
Row 9, Seat 15!
**[1:45:57] Mukai**
Congratulations!
**[1:45:59] Cast**
Congratulations!
**[1:46:02] Cast**
Congratulations!
**[1:46:03] Mukai**
Now, if the person in row 9, seat 15
**[1:46:06] Mukai**
would later head towards
the door closest to the stage,
**[1:46:10] Mukai**
where the staff is waiting. Do you see?
**[1:46:14] Mukai**
Right there, after the show, after verifying
your ticket or your web purchase,
**[1:46:21] Mukai**
we'll have that gift for you.
**[1:46:24] Mukai**
Now, let's see how that
autograph turned out!
**[1:46:27] Mukai**
There it is!
**[1:46:29] Cast**
Wow!
**[1:46:30] Mukai**
Fantastic!
**[1:46:32] Cast**
Cute!
**[1:46:34] Cast**
Pochita!
**[1:46:34] Mukai**
It is cute!
**[1:46:35] Mukai**
There's a little Pochita!
**[1:46:37] Hamano**
So cute!
**[1:46:38] Mukai**
A cutely-drawn Pochita, too.
**[1:46:38] Tooboe**
I do draw a little.
**[1:46:40] Mukai**
They'll be happy to receive that!
**[1:46:42] Tooboe**
Is this really a good enough?
Just my autograph?
**[1:46:45] Tooboe**
When we've got a murderer's
row of actors up here?
**[1:46:49] Mukai**
Come on, if you start talking that way,
the present is going to get way more fancy.
**[1:46:53] Tooboe**
Really? Well, here you go.
**[1:46:54] Mukai**
Yours is plenty, TOOBOE-san.
**[1:46:56] Mukai**
You'll be able to pick that up later.
**[1:46:59] Tooboe**
Congratulations.
**[1:46:59] Cast**
Congratulations!
**[1:47:02] Mukai**
Now, the fact is, in addition to the prize
drawing the win does include a talk subject.
**[1:47:10] Mukai**
And that is... discussing motivation.
**[1:47:14] Tooboe**
Motivation!
**[1:47:15] Mukai**
So I wanna ask you, TOOBOE-san,
where do you get your motivation from?
**[1:47:19] Mukai**
In the case of Denji,
it'd be grabbing a boob.
**[1:47:22] Mukai**
Hayakawa wants to defeat the Gun Devil,
**[1:47:25] Mukai**
so what would yours be, TOOBOE-san?
**[1:47:27] Tooboe**
Well, a bunch of money would be great.
**[1:47:30] Mukai**
I appreciate the simplicity.
**[1:47:31] Tooboe**
That's right.
**[1:47:32] Tooboe**
Despite working in this kind of field, I do
have a desire for a peaceful, quiet life...
**[1:47:41] Mukai**
Is that right?
**[1:47:42] Tooboe**
So I'd like to make a ton of money while I can,
and then move deep into the mountains.
**[1:47:49] Mukai**
And retire there?
**[1:47:51] Cast**
Maybe open a tiny traditional cafe?
**[1:47:55] Tooboe**
No, I kind of want to just disappear suddenly,
with no one knowing where I went.
**[1:48:01] Tooboe**
Just go off the grid,
into a mountain village.
**[1:48:03] Tooboe**
And they'll be nice enough that
if someone shows up looking for me,
**[1:48:07] Tooboe**
they'll say, "I never heard of no TOOBOE."
**[1:48:10] Mukai**
Pretending not to know.
**[1:48:11] Tooboe**
That's what I want. Yep.
**[1:48:12] Cast**
That's pretty aspirational.
**[1:48:14] Mukai**
Going barefoot might be a nice
prelude to that kind of lifestyle.
**[1:48:20] Cast**
Ah, I see.
**[1:48:21] Tooboe**
Yep. That's exactly right.
**[1:48:22] Mukai**
It can't be, can it?!
**[1:48:25] Mukai**
But that's nice, I like
hearing about motivation.
**[1:48:28] Mukai**
What about you, Taichi-san?
**[1:48:29] Taichi**
Well, lately I'm getting all
of my motivation from food.
**[1:48:33] Mukai**
It's food, then?
**[1:48:35] Taichi**
Until recently I would spend
money on games, and more games,
**[1:48:38] Taichi**
just buying all kinds of nonsense...
**[1:48:39] Cast**
She said it three times!
**[1:48:40] Mukai**
Mostly just games.
**[1:48:41] taichi**
That's mostly what it was before,
**[1:48:43] taichi**
but lately, I've realized that buying
in-game items isn't actually like food,
**[1:48:46] taichi**
and you have to eat food for real.
**[1:48:46] Cast**
That is true.
**[1:48:48] Taichi**
And the kind of enjoyment you
can get from food is really crazy.
**[1:48:52] Taichi**
That's something I've finally realized.
**[1:48:55] Taichi**
So lately it feels like I'm working just
so I can eat the best stuff possible.
**[1:49:00] Mukai**
Do you have a particular
favorite at the moment?
**[1:49:03] Taichi**
I absolutely love this dish called Malatang.
**[1:49:08] Taichi**
It's not ramen, it's more like
thin bean starch noodles...
**[1:49:11] Taichi**
And the thing is, you get to pick
the toppings that go into it.
**[1:49:15] Taichi**
Which makes it great for picky eaters.
**[1:49:17] Taichi**
It's a great little dish. Like a slightly
more spicy bean starch noodle soup...
**[1:49:21] Fairouz**
Sounds good!
**[1:49:22] Mukai**
That does sound delicious.
**[1:49:24] Mukai**
It's great hearing about all these
different motivations. Thank you very much.
**[1:49:28] Mukai**
Okay, let's roll that dice again.
**[1:49:30] Mukai**
Ise-san, if you would.
**[1:49:32] Sakata**
Go for it.
**[1:49:33] Toya**
Go for the win. Come on.
**[1:49:35] Cast**
We might have another win.
**[1:49:37] Cast**
True, it's possible.
**[1:49:39] Mukai**
Okay, Ise-san, give it a whirl.
**[1:49:42] Cast**
Go for it!
**[1:49:43] Cast**
There you go!
**[1:49:44] Cast**
What's it gonna be? What's it gonna be?
**[1:49:48] Cast**
What is it?
**[1:49:49] Mukai**
Now, let's see what it was.
**[1:49:54] Cast**
Oh, forgot her mic.
**[1:49:56] Mukai**
"Something I feel comfortable
talking about now."
**[1:49:59] Mukai**
Thank you very much!
**[1:50:01] Cast**
This feels like it might
be airing dirty laundry...
**[1:50:03] Cast**
Right?
**[1:50:04] Cast**
Kinda scary.
**[1:50:05] Ise**
What should I do?
**[1:50:06] Mukai**
I'm curious to hear what you have to say.
**[1:50:07] Ise**
Well...
**[1:50:08] Mukai**
There may be things about the recording
that you feel comfortable talking about, now.
**[1:50:11] Cast**
True.
**[1:50:12] Ise**
Let's see... Well, when I got cast as Himeno,
**[1:50:19] Ise**
I realized that out of all 13 episodes?
**[1:50:28] Ise**
She would only show up in five.
**[1:50:33] Ise**
So I tried to figure out how to use those
five episodes to really tell her story.
**[1:50:40] Ise**
Her, I guess, history
in Public Safety Division 4?
**[1:50:46] Ise**
The way she felt during her
time with Aki and the others.
**[1:50:53] Ise**
And that was a lot of pressure to really
sum her up entirely in just five episodes.
**[1:51:02] Mukai**
That's how it was?
**[1:51:03] Ise**
And I felt like with the original manga,
you only get a peek at Himeno's backstory.
**[1:51:12] Ise**
So I used that to sort of imagine it,
**[1:51:14] Ise**
coming up with, sort of, profiles
for the six partners she'd lost already.
**[1:51:22] Ise**
Like, what were they like?
How'd they become partners?
**[1:51:25] Ise**
How did she get over their deaths?
**[1:51:28] Ise**
I came up with this whole backbone...
**[1:51:31] Ise**
And it was really just out of panic!
**[1:51:34] Ise**
During summer of last year, she was
really the only thing on my mind, I'd say.
**[1:51:39] Ise**
That's how worried I was about
being able to portray Himeno well,
**[1:51:44] Ise**
and really make sure she was
someone the audience would like.
**[1:51:49] Ise**
And I was pretty anxious about it.
**[1:51:51] Mukai**
And I'm sure you didn't want to
make it obvious how nervous you were,
**[1:51:55] Mukai**
and didn't seem that way to them.
**[1:51:57] Fairouz**
It's funny, because at that time,
**[1:52:00] Fairouz**
we were working together
on another Jump-related project.
**[1:52:03] Fairouz**
And the episode where Himeno died was
one week after the other character died!
**[1:52:08] Fairouz**
And Mariya-chan was like
this the entire time!
**[1:52:12] Ise**
I was.
**[1:52:14] Fairouz**
So I really wanted to
help her where I could.
**[1:52:17] Cast**
That's so nice.
**[1:52:18] Cast**
Cool!
**[1:52:18] Mukai**
What was that, a proposal? Very cool.
**[1:52:21] Mukai**
That's definitely something you'd feel
more comfortable admitting after the fact.
**[1:52:25] Mukai**
How about you, Syudou-san?
**[1:52:27] Syudou**
Well, in terms of stuff I feel
more comfortable about now,
**[1:52:30] Syudou**
like I mentioned when
I got the Chainsaw Man gig,
**[1:52:34] Syudou**
I was so excited I thought it was a prank.
**[1:52:36] Mukai**
You did say that.
**[1:52:37] Syudou**
And it was when I actually
went to MAPPA for a meeting
**[1:52:41] Syudou**
that I was like, "Okay, now
I'll see if this is a prank or not."
**[1:52:47] Syudou**
I thought, even if it is a prank,
**[1:52:49] Syudou**
I can at least make an impression
on the people at MAPPA...
**[1:52:52] Syudou**
So I drew Denji's starter
on my chest with a magic marker.
**[1:52:59] Mukai**
And then?
**[1:53:00] Syudou**
I figured, if it was a prank,
**[1:53:01] Syudou**
I could at least show them how
committed I was to the premise.
**[1:53:04] Mukai**
You set something up!
**[1:53:05] Syudou**
But it wasn't a prank, at all,
**[1:53:09] Syudou**
and I was able to go home
without taking my shirt off.
**[1:53:13] Mukai**
I bet you were in the bath later that night
and realized, "Oh, I forgot about that."
**[1:53:16] Syudou**
I had to scrub really hard! It was tough.
**[1:53:20] Mukai**
I can see why you'd be more
comfortable discussing that now.
**[1:53:23] Syudou**
Right, it's a bit embarrassing.
**[1:53:26] Mukai**
But it's good.
**[1:53:27] Mukai**
Being able to discuss embarrassing
stuff after the fact...
**[1:53:29] Mukai**
That was a nice roll,
so let's keep it going.
**[1:53:34] Mukai**
Since someone might win...
**[1:53:35] Mukai**
Taichi-san, give it a roll.
**[1:53:38] Taichi**
Okay.
**[1:53:40] Mukai**
Here you go.
**[1:53:42] Taichi**
Here I go.
**[1:53:43] Cast**
What's it gonna be?
**[1:53:45] Cast**
Win, win, win...!
**[1:53:47] Mukai**
Win!
**[1:53:48] Ano**
She won!
**[1:53:49] Cast**
Wow!
**[1:53:50] Mukai**
Well done!
**[1:53:52] Mukai**
Looks like Taichi-san won!
**[1:53:56] Cast**
Awesome!
**[1:53:57] Mukai**
That's another T-shirt gift, and if
Pochita could join us out here...
**[1:54:01] Cast**
Pochita!
**[1:54:03] Mukai**
Careful coming onto the stage, now.
**[1:54:04] Cast**
He looks like he chose violence!
**[1:54:06] Mukai**
Did you bump me?
**[1:54:07] Mukai**
Oh, you meant to.
**[1:54:08] Taichi**
It's kind of funny seeing Pochita
waiting just off-stage this entire time.
**[1:54:12] Mukai**
That it is.
**[1:54:13] Mukai**
Now, why don't we have one
of our artists draw this time?
**[1:54:18] Mukai**
Care to do the honors, Ano-chan?
**[1:54:19] Ano**
Okay.
**[1:54:20] Mukai**
What an adorable pair these two make...
**[1:54:24] Mukai**
Careful now!
**[1:54:26] Hamano**
It's like a chainsaw battle.
**[1:54:27] Mukai**
That is. Her chainsaw is really in there!
**[1:54:31] Mukai**
It's hitting Pochita.
**[1:54:33] Hamano**
It looks like he's eating her!
**[1:54:36] Mukai**
Quite the striking picture.
**[1:54:38] Ano**
Here we go.
**[1:54:39] Mukai**
Let's hear it.
**[1:54:41] Mukai**
Let's see...
**[1:54:42] Mukai**
The second floor of the arena.
**[1:54:46] Mukai**
Block D...
**[1:54:47] Cast**
D!
**[1:54:48] Cast**
D... Where'd D?
**[1:54:49] Mukai**
Where are you, D?
**[1:54:50] Ano**
D... A, B, C, D...
**[1:54:52] Cast**
Over there!
**[1:54:53] Mukai**
There they are.
**[1:54:55] Ano**
In block D...
**[1:54:57] Ano**
Row 7, seat 18.
**[1:54:59] Mukai**
Row 7, seat 18!
**[1:55:01] Cast**
Anyone there?
**[1:55:02] Mukai**
Are you there?
**[1:55:03] Cast**
It's someone...
**[1:55:04] Cast**
There!
**[1:55:05] Cast**
Wow!
**[1:55:06] Cast**
Congratulations!
**[1:55:07] Cast**
Ah, over there!
**[1:55:09] Mukai**
There you are, and if you'll head
to where the staff is after the show,
**[1:55:12] Mukai**
we'll get that shirt to you.
**[1:55:14] Mukai**
We'll just need to verify
your ticket or web purchase.
**[1:55:17] Mukai**
Let's see that autograph from Taichi-san!
**[1:55:19] Taichi**
Here it is! My autograph.
**[1:55:20] Cast**
So cute!
**[1:55:20] Mukai**
Thank you!
**[1:55:22] Mukai**
There's your prize.
**[1:55:23] Taichi**
Congratulations! Please,
don't sell it online!
**[1:55:26] Mukai**
Aw, come on, we don't have
time to get into that.
**[1:55:29] Mukai**
And here we have the subject
for this winning roll.
**[1:55:33] Mukai**
We'll be talking about
attention to details.
**[1:55:35] Taichi**
Details?
**[1:55:38] Taichi**
Let's see... details.
**[1:55:40] Taichi**
Whenever I go in for a recording session,
**[1:55:44] Taichi**
if I'm playing a boy,
I'll tend to wear pants.
**[1:55:49] Taichi**
And at some point, I realized when
I was going in for roles as girls,
**[1:55:53] Taichi**
I'd most likely be wearing skirts instead.
**[1:55:56] Taichi**
Can I head back to my seat for this?
**[1:55:58] Cast**
Go ahead.
**[1:55:59] Taichi**
I'll just walk and talk.
**[1:56:00] Cast**
I noticed your wardrobe today
has got a Sawatari style to it.
**[1:56:03] Taichi**
Exactly!
**[1:56:04] Taichi**
I picked this out. It's actually really cute.
**[1:56:08] Taichi**
I wasn't sure whether to go with pants
or a skirt until the last second today.
**[1:56:13] Taichi**
And Sawatari actually wears a parka
that's kinda... on the short side,
**[1:56:17] Taichi**
where you're not sure what else is on there.
**[1:56:21] Taichi**
And I am not quite that
confident in my legs, so.
**[1:56:24] Taichi**
So I went with something longer.
**[1:56:26] Fairouz**
I noticed everyone today has a little
something matching their character's motif.
**[1:56:28] Taichi**
Right!
**[1:56:30] Taichi**
It makes you realize how
much everyone cares, I think.
**[1:56:33] Sakata**
It's nice.
**[1:56:34] Mukai**
It really goes to show how that eye
for detail even goes into your wardrobe.
**[1:56:39] Mukai**
What about our artists? I get
the feeling they're really detail-oriented.
**[1:56:43] Mukai**
How about you, Ano-chan? Anything you
pay particularly close attention to?
**[1:56:47] Ano**
I mean, along those lines, I'm really
detail-oriented when it comes to costumes.
**[1:56:51] Ano**
Whenever I perform, I like to
make sure it's specially made...
**[1:56:55] Mukai**
Wow, really?
**[1:56:56] Ano**
So that's different every time.
**[1:56:58] Ano**
For today, though, I'm wearing
the one from the music video.
**[1:57:02] Ano**
But even for this, I made the request to
have a chainsaw going through my head.
**[1:57:07] Mukai**
You make those kinds of requests?
**[1:57:08] Ano**
That was what I asked for.
**[1:57:10] Mukai**
That is a nice detail.
**[1:57:11] Ano**
I like to get really specific.
**[1:57:13] Ano**
Another thing is, I tend to dress girlier
**[1:57:17] Ano**
when there are a lot
of men working on a shoot...
**[1:57:20] Mukai**
Oh, I see.
**[1:57:21] Ano**
And when the crew has more women
in it, I like to dress boyish.
**[1:57:26] Mukai**
Is that right?
**[1:57:27] Ano**
I also tend to get picky about
what I wear for TV appearances.
**[1:57:32] Mukai**
I see, I see. That is really something.
**[1:57:36] Mukai**
How about you, TOOBOE-san?
**[1:57:38] Tooboe**
Well, in terms of outfits,
I've been pretty picky today.
**[1:57:41] Tooboe**
I'm not actually in all
black today, if you'll see here...
**[1:57:44] Mukai**
What am I looking at here?
**[1:57:45] Tooboe**
I've got a Chainsaw Man item here...
**[1:57:50] Tooboe**
It's from the collaboration with Ground Y.
**[1:57:52] Tooboe**
It's a button cover with Makima's eye.
**[1:57:57] Mukai**
I see it.
**[1:57:58] Cast**
Hey, you're right!
**[1:57:59] Cast**
Scary...
**[1:58:00] Mukai**
Wow!
**[1:58:02] Mukai**
That's a nice detail!
**[1:58:04] Tooboe**
And then this is a Power necklace.
**[1:58:06] Mukai**
Well, look at that!
**[1:58:09] Fairouz**
Doesn't that belong to me?
**[1:58:14] Mukai**
Wow!
**[1:58:15] Mukai**
So, TOOBOE-san, if that question hadn't
come up, would we have never found out?
**[1:58:20] Tooboe**
Nope.
**[1:58:21] Mukai**
Wow!
**[1:58:22] Cast**
Wow!
**[1:58:23] Cast**
Good thing it did.
**[1:58:24] Mukai**
Now that's detail.
**[1:58:27] Mukai**
It goes to show, we're all
particular about something.
**[1:58:31] Mukai**
And as much as I'd like to keep talking,
I think this will be our last roll.
**[1:58:34] Mukai**
For the last one...
you wanna go, Sakata-san?
**[1:58:37] Sakata**
Me, last?
**[1:58:38] Sakata**
If it's the last... shouldn't that be...
**[1:58:40] Toya**
Aw, it's fine, it's fine!
**[1:58:40] Sakata**
You sure?
**[1:58:41] Toya**
It's cool, go for it.
**[1:58:41] Sakata**
Okay. I'll do it.
**[1:58:43] Toya**
Get going.
**[1:58:43] Cast**
They're so considerate.
**[1:58:44] Cast**
Might as well do it together.
**[1:58:45] Cast**
That's a good idea.
**[1:58:47] Mukai**
Roll it together.
**[1:58:48] Cast**
And if they both win, is it
an autograph from both of them?
**[1:58:50] Mukai**
I think so.
**[1:58:51] Cast**
Is that what you're gonna do?
**[1:58:53] Mukai**
Most people don't go straight up, but...
**[1:58:55] Mukai**
Let's try it. Toya-san,
Sakata-san, roll that dice.
**[1:59:01] Cast**
What was that?
**[1:59:02] Cast**
What the heck?
**[1:59:04] Mukai**
Hey, come on!
**[1:59:05] Mukai**
Hey! Hey, that wasn't right!
**[1:59:05] Cast**
No, no, no...
**[1:59:08] Cast**
That's cheating!
**[1:59:09] Cast**
That was kinda...
**[1:59:10] Mukai**
You wanna go again? Can you do it right?
**[1:59:12] Mukai**
Because that one wasn't legit...
**[1:59:14] Taichi**
True. No cheating.
**[1:59:16] Fairouz**
Even Power wouldn't try that!
**[1:59:17] Cast**
Seriously.
**[1:59:19] Mukai**
They are really talking this over...
**[1:59:21] Mukai**
Hey, stop!
**[1:59:26] Cast**
Are we at a boys' school all of a sudden?
**[1:59:28] Cast**
They are really enjoying this.
**[1:59:30] Mukai**
A little too much.
**[1:59:30] Cast**
Do it right!
**[1:59:32] Mukai**
Here we go.
**[1:59:33] Mukai**
And this time...
**[1:59:38] Cast**
Quit trying to force it!
**[1:59:41] Mukai**
Headshot!
**[1:59:45] Mukai**
You win! Yay!
**[1:59:48] Cast**
Wow!
**[1:59:50] Mukai**
They got the winning side! Good for them.
**[1:59:51] Cast**
Awesome.
**[1:59:54] Cast**
Here's Pochita.
**[1:59:55] Cast**
Pochita's coming...
**[1:59:57] Mukai**
Come on, Pochita.
**[1:59:58] Mukai**
Wow, careful now.
**[2:00:00] Mukai**
All right... here we go.
**[2:00:03] Mukai**
Syudou-san, could you draw this?
**[2:00:06] Syudou**
You want me to do it?
**[2:00:07] Syudou**
Sure, right on.
**[2:00:08] Mukai**
He went right in there.
Is he gonna be all right?
**[2:00:10] Syudou**
Wow, Pochita!
**[2:00:11] Syudou**
So cute...
**[2:00:12] Tooboe**
I'm not even on camera now.
**[2:00:15] Syudou**
He's bigger than I am!
**[2:00:17] Mukai**
A lot of the shot is blocked out now.
**[2:00:19] Mukai**
You are basically invisible.
**[2:00:20] Tooboe**
How's this even work?
**[2:00:22] Syudou**
Here we go, I've got the seat.
**[2:00:26] Cast**
Where's it gonna be now?
**[2:00:28] Mukai**
Okay, what have you got?
**[2:00:29] Syudou**
Okay, here it is.
**[2:00:30] Syudou**
On the second floor...
**[2:00:32] Syudou**
Block C.
**[2:00:34] Mukai**
Block C. Where's that?
**[2:00:35] Mukai**
Block C...
**[2:00:37] Mukai**
Over there!
**[2:00:37] Syudou**
Row 7, seat 8 in block C!
**[2:00:40] Mukai**
Row 7, seat 8!
**[2:00:41] Syudou**
The person sitting in Seat 7-8!
**[2:00:43] Syudou**
Congratulations!
**[2:00:47] Cast**
Congratulations!
**[2:00:48] Mukai**
You'll wanna head over there after
the show's over to receive your prize.
**[2:00:54] Mukai**
Thank you so much.
**[2:00:55] Mukai**
Now, as these two write their names...
**[2:01:00] Cast**
That is fancy, getting two autographs.
**[2:01:02] Mukai**
That's true. To wrap the show up.
**[2:01:05] Mukai**
And it was totally legitimate!
**[2:01:08] Hamano**
Miracles really do happen.
**[2:01:11] Cast**
That was a real shock!
**[2:01:12] Mukai**
While they're at it, since we
were just talking about details,
**[2:01:17] Mukai**
let's hear some more about that.
**[2:01:19] Cast**
That's a good one!
**[2:01:20] Cast**
If there was anything
you wanted to mention...
**[2:01:22] Cast**
Something you wanted to bring up.
**[2:01:25] Hamano**
It's not like you need to watch him do it!
**[2:01:27] Mukai**
True.
**[2:01:28] Mukai**
Toya-san, was there anything
you wanted to talk about?
**[2:01:31] Taichi**
He's acting like your manager now...
**[2:01:32] Mukai**
"Stories with a screw loose."
**[2:01:36] Mukai**
What do you mean, Toya-san?
**[2:01:38] Toya**
This isn't actually about me, but...
**[2:01:40] Toya**
Shogo Sakata-kun's approach to doing
voiceovers is absolutely nuts, in a good way.
**[2:01:49] Mukai**
What do you mean by that?
**[2:01:51] Toya**
Well, if he's smoking in a scene,
he always brings cigarettes with him.
**[2:01:56] Toya**
And he has it...
**[2:01:57] Toya**
He doesn't actually smoke
while recording, but...
**[2:01:59] Mukai**
I don't think anyone does!
**[2:02:00] Toya**
It's not that bad.
**[2:02:01] Hamano**
That's a little too method.
**[2:02:02] Mukai**
No one is that much of a bad boy.
**[2:02:06] Toya**
But he does the scene
with the unlit cigarette.
**[2:02:09] Mukai**
So he brings props in with
him when bringing Aki to life?
**[2:02:14] Toya**
Right.
**[2:02:15] Toya**
There's that and...
**[2:02:17] Mukai**
And here we have the autograph...
**[2:02:20] Mukai**
Very cute.
**[2:02:20] Cast**
So cute!
**[2:02:22] Sakata**
Who's getting this?
**[2:02:24] Mukai**
They're right over there.
**[2:02:26] Mukai**
Congratulations!
**[2:02:27] Mukai**
Please don't sell it online.
**[2:02:30] Toya**
Cut it out!
**[2:02:32] Mukai**
That is pretty wild. I like it.
**[2:02:35] Toya**
And there's one other thing.
**[2:02:36] Toya**
His hair for today!
**[2:02:38] Mukai**
Right.
**[2:02:39] Toya**
He's been growing it out ever
since we started recording,
**[2:02:42] Toya**
and now it's finally this long...
**[2:02:43] Sakata**
It took about a year to get this point.
**[2:02:46] Mukai**
All to embody Aki.
**[2:02:49] Toya**
You're the only one
who can do stuff like that.
**[2:02:51] Mukai**
That's a lovely way
of being crazy, Sakata-san.
**[2:02:55] Cast**
Very nice.
**[2:02:56] Sakata**
Thank you so much. Thank you so much.
**[2:02:59] Mukai**
Do you have a crazy story?
**[2:02:59] Sakata**
I guess it's time for a crazy story of mine?
**[2:03:02] Sakata**
Well, there's this guy
I know named Kikunosuke Toya...
**[2:03:07] Mukai**
Kikunosuke-san, you say...
**[2:03:09] Sakata**
And he likes saunas so much.
**[2:03:12] Sakata**
He invited me to one, so I joined him once.
**[2:03:17] Sakata**
Have you guys heard of Aufguss before?
**[2:03:20] Sakata**
They move the heat around...
**[2:03:21] Toya**
With a cloth.
**[2:03:22] Sakata**
They send a hot breeze at you with a cloth.
**[2:03:25] Toya**
It's really hot!
**[2:03:27] Sakata**
It was hot enough inside of
the sauna room, like over 100 degrees!
**[2:03:32] Mukai**
That is hot.
**[2:03:33] Sakata**
And in this kind of heat that makes it
feel like your skin is slowly burning...
**[2:03:36] Sakata**
I was like "I'm done!"
But this guy stayed in there.
**[2:03:41] Sakata**
Until the Aufguss session was finished.
**[2:03:44] Sakata**
As it just kept getting even hotter...
**[2:03:46] Mukai**
Wow.
**[2:03:47] Sakata**
I was sure he was gonna be burned.
**[2:03:48] Sakata**
And then afterward, when I had already
thought he was crazy for staying in there...
**[2:03:54] Cast**
Wow.
**[2:03:54] Sakata**
It's after the sauna, so we go out
for a light bite to eat, and he tells me...
**[2:04:01] Sakata**
"I burnt my nipples."
**[2:04:03] Mukai**
Can that happen?
**[2:04:04] Mukai**
During an Aufguss session?
**[2:04:06] Sakata**
I thought that was crazy.
**[2:04:07] Sakata**
Who does that? Gets a
nipple burn in the sauna?
**[2:04:10] Mukai**
I don't know where to begin.
**[2:04:12] Mukai**
This sounds like the opposite
of an "It's just sauna things!" joke.
**[2:04:15] Mukai**
"Don't you hate it when you
burn your nipples at the sauna?"
**[2:04:18] Cast**
I don't know how many
people get that reference...
**[2:04:20] Mukai**
I'm sure plenty do!
**[2:04:22] Toya**
I noticed when I was putting my
clothes back on. "Hey, I'm burnt."
**[2:04:26] Mukai**
You actually were?
**[2:04:27] Toya**
Yep.
**[2:04:29] Mukai**
Does that happen often?
Anyone else here a sauna person?
**[2:04:33] Mukai**
TOOBOE-san!
**[2:04:35] Tooboe**
I love to hit the sauna.
**[2:04:36] Mukai**
And are nipple burns
a common hazard, or...?
**[2:04:39] Toya**
They are, right?
**[2:04:39] Tooboe**
I do not think so.
**[2:04:43] Tooboe**
But the entire TOOBOE team loves saunas,
**[2:04:47] Tooboe**
so we're always trading information
about the different locations...
**[2:04:51] Tooboe**
And our manager, who went to
a certain big name sauna in Shibuya,
**[2:04:55] Tooboe**
apparently burnt his nipples.
**[2:04:56] Mukai**
Whoa, whoa, whoa...
**[2:04:57] Toya**
See, it does happen!
**[2:04:59] Toya**
I wonder how common it is.
**[2:05:00] Mukai**
Look, even if it did happen, I don't
know how many people would wanna share...
**[2:05:04] Mukai**
But that just proves it's a crazy story.
**[2:05:08] Mukai**
And an entertaining one
to boot, thank you so much!
**[2:05:09] Toya**
Thank you!
**[2:05:13] Mukai**
And there we have it,
we had some lucky winners,
**[2:05:16] Mukai**
and got to listen to some
fascinating discussions.
**[2:05:19] Mukai**
This has been The Chainsaw
Man Custom Dice Talk!
**[2:05:23] Mukai**
Thanks to our artist and cast member guests.
**[2:05:26] Mukai**
If you could all clear
the stage for a minute,
**[2:05:28] Mukai**
while we give you another
big round of applause!
**[2:05:34] Mukai**
Thanks so much bearing
with us, really. Thank you.
**[2:05:39] Mukai**
Those are some really
proper bows. I feel honored.
**[2:05:44] Mukai**
Last thing I want to do is block
our artists as they head out.
**[2:05:47] Mukai**
So down I go...
**[2:05:49] Mukai**
And there we go, we got to
hear some unexpected gifts,
**[2:05:54] Mukai**
and some unexpected conversations.
**[2:05:57] Mukai**
With that corner done,
along with the live reading,
**[2:06:04] Mukai**
what's that make our last corner to be?
**[2:06:07] Mukai**
Well, what better way to
end than on a high note?
**[2:06:11] Mukai**
It's time for the Chainsaw Man
Concert Stage!
**[2:06:17] Mukai**
You all sound nice and excited,
just how I like it.
**[2:06:21] Mukai**
And finishing out the night
for us will be someone...
**[2:06:25] Mukai**
We've heard them have some fun conversations,
**[2:06:29] Mukai**
including being convinced their involvement
in the project may have been a prank...
**[2:06:33] Mukai**
And now it's time to sing the song
that came from that experience.
**[2:06:37] Mukai**
It's the ending for episode 5
by Syudou-san!
**[2:06:42] Mukai**
Now... as for episode 5, it's remarkable
for Makima's finger biting,
**[2:06:48] Mukai**
and the song brings to mind ominous
memories of the endless eighth floor,
**[2:06:55] Mukai**
which it shone a spotlight on wonderfully.
**[2:06:59] Mukai**
It's time for you to hear the final
musical number of the day.
**[2:07:03] Mukai**
"In the Backroom" by Syudou-san!
**[2:07:05] Mukai**
Here we go!
**[2:08:47] Syudou**
Let's keep it going to the end!
**[2:09:41] Syudou**
Chainsaw Fes!
**[2:10:37] Syudou**
Thank you very much!
**[2:10:45] Mukai**
Thank you!
**[2:10:48] Mukai**
Now that was a performance
befitting our last number.
**[2:10:54] Mukai**
Thank you for that, Syudou-san.
**[2:10:57] Mukai**
How wonderful... He really
had the place jumping.
**[2:11:02] Mukai**
Now, that about does it
for Chainsaw Fes tonight.
**[2:11:06] Mukai**
We had lots of live readings
and lots of musical performances.
**[2:11:10] Mukai**
Did you all have a good time?
**[2:11:15] Mukai**
It is great to hear those
cheers from the heart!
**[2:11:19] Mukai**
Now, we're running short on time,
**[2:11:22] Mukai**
so let's have the cast take
the stage one last time.
**[2:11:26] Mukai**
Let's welcome them with big applause!
**[2:11:39] Mukai**
Thank you so much.
**[2:11:43] Mukai**
And before you know it,
here we are at the ending.
**[2:11:46] Mukai**
The time has come
for everyone to wave goodbye.
**[2:11:49] Mukai**
And now as sad as we are to see it end...
**[2:11:54] Hamano**
True.
**[2:11:54] Mukai**
But without endings, there can
never come new beginnings, right?
**[2:11:57] Cast**
Right.
**[2:11:58] Mukai**
So, let's hear each
of your thoughts about today,
**[2:12:04] Mukai**
and get a message for
the audience as we close out.
**[2:12:08] Mukai**
Let's start with Hamano-san. Are you ready?
**[2:12:10] Hamano**
Yep. My name's Daiki Hamano
and I play Samurai Sword.
**[2:12:13] Hamano**
Thank you all so much
for coming out tonight.
**[2:12:20] Hamano**
It has been an absolute honor to be involved
**[2:12:24] Hamano**
in the story of madness, friendship,
and love that is Chainsaw Man.
**[2:12:30] Hamano**
I was able to see how many
people love the project today,
**[2:12:36] Hamano**
and seeing this kind of passion makes me
think there's a lot in store for the future.
**[2:12:42] Hamano**
There were a lot of announcements
today for figures, cards, and such...
**[2:12:48] Hamano**
Plenty of merchandise is on the way,
**[2:12:50] Hamano**
and I hope you'll all continue to support
Chainsaw Man and the Chainsaw Man anime.
**[2:12:56] Hamano**
Thanks for having me today!
**[2:12:58] Mukai**
Thank you!
**[2:13:01] Mukai**
Next up is you, Taichi-san.
**[2:13:03] Taichi**
Thanks, I'm Yo Taichi, and
I play Akane Sawatari,
**[2:13:04] Taichi**
I want to thank you all
again for coming out today!
**[2:13:08] Taichi**
Well, since I didn't get to
tell it during the dice talk,
**[2:13:13] Taichi**
I thought I'd mention a story that
I'm comfortable talking about now.
**[2:13:17] Mukai**
What's that?
**[2:13:19] Taichi**
When the PV for this project came out,
my role still hadn't been cast yet.
**[2:13:26] Taichi**
I was completely obsessed
with the manga at the time,
**[2:13:31] Taichi**
and out of frustration
for not getting a role,
**[2:13:33] Taichi**
I gathered up all of my friends
who were Chainsaw Man fans...
**[2:13:38] Taichi**
And told them, "I hope they don't make
a good anime without me!"
**[2:13:42] Taichi**
I ranted like that for so long...
**[2:13:43] Mukai**
You actually said that?
**[2:13:44] Taichi**
I am not a good drinker at all,
**[2:13:46] Taichi**
but I drank 2-3 times more than
usual and got totally hammered,
**[2:13:50] Taichi**
whining, "Don't do it without me!"
the whole time,
**[2:13:53] Taichi**
and somehow I ended up getting through
the auditions, and here I am now.
**[2:13:59] Taichi**
Which is... really a story
I only feel comfortable telling
**[2:13:59] Mukai**
Wow.
**[2:14:03] Taichi**
because of how it turned out.
**[2:14:05] Taichi**
But I am really quite honored
and grateful to be involved
**[2:14:11] Taichi**
in a project that has so much support,
**[2:14:14] Taichi**
but at the same time,
I want to see even more!
**[2:14:18] Taichi**
And that's the way I'm feeling after today.
**[2:14:21] Taichi**
I hope you'll all continue to be excited too,
and thank you again for joining us!
**[2:14:26] Mukai**
Thank you very much!
**[2:14:30] Mukai**
Next up, Takahashi-san, if you would.
**[2:14:32] Takahashi**
Hello, I'm Karin Takahashi, and I play Kobeni.
Thanks for coming today.
**[2:14:36] Takahashi**
Ever since the audition I...
**[2:14:40] Takahashi**
At first, it wasn't certain I'd get to
try out for the role of Kobeni,
**[2:14:44] Takahashi**
but my manager pulled out all
the stops and got me the opportunity,
**[2:14:48] Takahashi**
and after actually getting the role, and then
getting to be here with so many fans,
**[2:14:53] Takahashi**
and other cast members,
and artists who love Chainsaw Man...
**[2:14:55] Takahashi**
I am thrilled to have
had such an awesome day!
**[2:14:58] Takahashi**
And I hope we'll all be
able to gather up again
**[2:15:01] Takahashi**
for another Chainsaw Man
event like this some day.
**[2:15:04] Takahashi**
I really want the future to be
full of great stuff like this,
**[2:15:07] Takahashi**
so I hope you'll continue
to support Chainsaw Man!
**[2:15:09] Takahashi**
It's been a real pleasure,
thank you so much!
**[2:15:11] Mukai**
Thank you!
**[2:15:15] Mukai**
Next up, let's hear from Ise-san.
**[2:15:18] Ise**
Right, I want to thank everyone
for joining us again tonight.
**[2:15:22] Ise**
Did you all have good time?
**[2:15:26] Ise**
That's good!
**[2:15:27] Ise**
I want you to know that the cast up
here all really do love Chainsaw Man,
**[2:15:34] Ise**
and I think it's a dream come true
for all of us that we got to work on it.
**[2:15:41] Ise**
Working on Chainsaw Man was
honestly a goal I had for myself,
**[2:15:48] Ise**
and I really wanted to play
the character of Himeno so much...
**[2:15:51] Ise**
And once I got the role, it was at
night and I called up Fai-chan...
**[2:15:56] Fairouz**
Right!
**[2:15:57] Ise**
I'm pretty sure I shouted,
"I got Himeno!" while in tears.
**[2:15:59] Fairouz**
She really did!
**[2:16:01] Taichi**
That is adorable!
**[2:16:01] Ise**
Late at night, but I think that shows
how much enthusiasm has for the project,
**[2:16:07] Ise**
and their roles in it, working
hard on their performances.
**[2:16:10] Ise**
All so that we could make sure it's
a work that has meaning for the audience.
**[2:16:19] Ise**
It's hard to put into words,
**[2:16:22] Ise**
but I do think we managed to channel
those sentiments into the anime,
**[2:16:26] Ise**
and everyone, the director and
the staff who worked on the anime,
**[2:16:30] Ise**
were all so professional...
**[2:16:33] Ise**
And it was a real joy to be involved in
a project with no compromises like this one.
**[2:16:40] Ise**
And, well, Himeno... might not be
coming back in the future, either way,
**[2:16:49] Ise**
but when you see her again when watching
the Blu-rays or rereading the manga,
**[2:16:55] Ise**
I hope you'll continue to
love her for a long time.
**[2:16:58] Ise**
I'll be continuing to cheer for the project,
and I hope you all will, too!
**[2:17:03] Ise**
Thank you so much for having me tonight!
**[2:17:05] Mukai**
Thank you, too!
**[2:17:10] Mukai**
Next up is you, Fairouz-san.
**[2:17:12] Fairouz**
Right, I'm Fairouz Ai, and I play Power.
**[2:17:15] Fairouz**
Thank you all for coming tonight!
**[2:17:19] Fairouz**
Thanks so much!
**[2:17:21] Fairouz**
Wow, the fact that we started off with
the whole crowd cheering for Power...
**[2:17:25] Fairouz**
And then at some point, the Event Devil
showed up and there was a bit of trouble,
**[2:17:31] Fairouz**
but then Power was like
*bam*, and saved everyone!
**[2:17:33] Fairouz**
She really is basically
a superhero, isn't she?
**[2:17:37] Sakata**
Sh-She's concocting new memories...
**[2:17:39] Toya**
She is such a liar!
**[2:17:42] Fairouz**
Well, it was a ton of fun!
**[2:17:44] Fairouz**
And if I get the chance to
do it again, I'd love to!
**[2:17:46] Fairouz**
Thank you all so much!
**[2:17:47] Mukai**
Thank you!
**[2:17:49] Mukai**
It feels like... she stuck to
her lie all the way through.
**[2:17:53] Mukai**
Maybe that's just a product of too
much passion? Thank you, either way.
**[2:17:55] Mukai**
Now, Sakata-san, if you would.
**[2:17:57] Sakata**
Hello again, I'm Shogo Sakata,
and I play Aki Hayakawa.
**[2:18:00] Sakata**
And getting to play the role
of Aki is really like a miracle to me,
**[2:18:08] Sakata**
along with getting to stand
in front of you all like this.
**[2:18:12] Sakata**
It honestly doesn't feel real to me.
**[2:18:17] Sakata**
I'm not really sure how to say this, but...
**[2:18:23] Sakata**
I'm going to continue to work hard
**[2:18:25] Sakata**
to make sure you're all glad that Shogo
Sakata is the one portraying Aki Hayakawa,
**[2:18:31] Sakata**
so I hope you'll all continue
to support Chainsaw Man.
**[2:18:35] Sakata**
Thank you so much!
**[2:18:36] Mukai**
Thank you!
**[2:18:41] Mukai**
All right, take us home, Toya-san.
**[2:18:44] Toya**
Sure.
**[2:18:44] Toya**
Well, I feel all of your love
for Chainsaw Man right here.
**[2:18:56] Toya**
Being out here in front of you all...
**[2:18:59] Toya**
I mean, we all love Chainsaw Man, don't we?
**[2:19:01] Toya**
The cast does, too...
**[2:19:02] Toya**
Mukai-san does, the artists do too,
**[2:19:07] Toya**
and for all of us to be able to
talk about it together is so great.
**[2:19:12] Toya**
Having you guys out there is
what makes us work so hard.
**[2:19:16] Toya**
It's a big part of our motivation,
and I'm grateful for that.
**[2:19:20] Toya**
Not to mention to the staff,
who created the opportunity for all this.
**[2:19:26] Toya**
There are just so many people that
I can't express enough thanks to.
**[2:19:31] Toya**
I'll be hoping I get another chance
to see you all again like this!
**[2:19:38] Toya**
Thank you all for coming tonight.
**[2:19:42] Mukai**
And thank you!
**[2:19:48] Mukai**
Well... that about does it.
**[2:19:51] Mukai**
In the end, let's take a commemorative
photo with the crowd to close us out.
**[2:19:55] Mukai**
If you could all gather around,
with the audience behind you.
**[2:19:58] Mukai**
You too, Pochita!
**[2:19:59] Mukai**
Pochita?
**[2:20:01] Cast**
Pochita?
**[2:20:02] Mukai**
Pochita is always so cute.
**[2:20:05] Cast**
When Syudou-san was singing earlier, I could
see him going like this the entire time.
**[2:20:10] Mukai**
He was feeling it!
**[2:20:11] Cast**
He sure was!
**[2:20:13] Mukai**
Come on in.
**[2:20:14] Cast**
Too cute...
**[2:20:16] Mukai**
So cute.
**[2:20:17] Sakata**
He had to have been really jumping.
**[2:20:18] Mukai**
Maybe he's a real party animal.
**[2:20:23] Mukai**
Okay, if you'd all gather around...
**[2:20:25] Mukai**
And now we're gonna bring up
the lights for the shot.
**[2:20:30] Mukai**
There are those lights...
**[2:20:36] Cast**
Should we stand or sit?
**[2:20:37] Mukai**
Which do you wanna do?
**[2:20:38] Cast**
Up or down?
**[2:20:39] Mukai**
Why don't you go ahead and sit. That'll get
more of the crowd in there with you.
**[2:20:45] Mukai**
Maybe cover up the face of a certain liar...
**[2:20:49] Mukai**
Was there anyone like that?
**[2:20:52] Mukai**
Okay, here we go.
**[2:20:53] Mukai**
If you would, Toya-san.
**[2:20:55] Toya**
Say "Chainsaw"!
**[2:21:00] Mukai**
Oh, right. Thank you very much.
**[2:21:02] Mukai**
Here's the Mushroom Devil.
**[2:21:05] Cast**
He's more than one kind of devil.
**[2:21:07] Toya**
I'll go ready and first.
**[2:21:09] Sakata**
On top of everything else?
**[2:21:10] Toya**
Ready and...
**[2:21:12] All**
Say "Chainsaw"!
**[2:21:16] All**
Okay, a standing one, too?
**[2:21:17] Mukai**
Thank you so much.
**[2:21:19] Mukai**
And a standing one.
**[2:21:19] Fairouz**
Let's keep it going.
**[2:21:20] Mukai**
Okay.
**[2:21:28] Toya**
Here we go.
**[2:21:29] Toya**
Ready and...
**[2:21:30] Toya**
Say "Chainsaw"!
**[2:21:36] Mukai**
And one without me.
**[2:21:39] Mukai**
I'll be over here sulking.
**[2:21:44] Toya**
Let's do it.
**[2:21:46] Toya**
Ready and...
**[2:21:47] Toya**
Say Chainsaw!
**[2:21:56] Cast**
All good?
**[2:21:57] Cast**
Thank you so much!
**[2:22:00] Cast**
Thank you!
**[2:22:01] Cast**
Thanks!
**[2:22:02] Mukai**
Thank you all for coming!
**[2:22:04] Mukai**
You too, Pochita!
**[2:22:05] Cast**
Pochita! Pochita!
**[2:22:07] Mukai**
Pochita's really cute when clapping.
**[2:22:09] Cast**
His arms won't reach!
**[2:22:11] Mukai**
They won't, so he's slapping his tummy.
**[2:22:14] Mukai**
So, Pochita is going to stay
on stage with us as we close things out.
**[2:22:22] Mukai**
This has been the night portion of Chainsaw Fes!

Tomori Kusunoki-san was
scheduled to be with us tonight,
**[2:22:52] Mukai**
but had to opt out due to not feeling well.
**[2:22:56] Mukai**
We apologize to everyone who was
looking forward to seeing her,
**[2:23:00] Mukai**
but we hope you'll understand.

That about does it, we hope you'll continue
to support Chainsaw Man for a long time.
**[2:23:18] Mukai**
For the ending...
**[2:23:21] Mukai**
What are you shaking for?
What's all this shaking?
**[2:23:25] Mukai**
Okay, then...
**[2:23:27] Cast**
So cute!
**[2:23:27] Mukai**
Aren't they though?
**[2:23:29] Cast**
Cute!
**[2:23:30] Cast**
Lucky!
**[2:23:31] Cast**
They're so cute!
**[2:23:33] Mukai**
Okay, Toya-san, you're the team captain.
**[2:23:36] Mukai**
Thanks for coming tonight.
Would you like to take it from here?

the artists that performed,
the staff who put things together.

It's been a wonderful show,
