[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, 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?!

[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!

    When I can't sleep,
    I start thinking about money,

    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.

[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...

[41:13] Denji
    Partner?

    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

[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!

    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!

[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?

    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!

    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

[2:22:52] Mukai
    but had to opt out due to not feeling well.
[2:22:56] Mukai

[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!
