The cast members made their way to the stage to thunderous applause. First, each unit answered about what they enjoyed or what was memorable about the performance.
“Trickstar” (Mr. Yamamoto, Mr. Takenaka, Mr. Matsumura, and Mr. Tanimizu) gave a lively, manzai-like talk that quickly excited the audience. It was also revealed that during the performance period, they were performing different parts each day in the dressing room, and that they all went out to eat hotpot after the concert, showing how close they were.
“Ryuseitai” (Mr. Saeki, Mr. Izawa, Mr. Nakanishi, Mr. Fukasawa) talks about going to futsal after hard practice and memories with Yuho Matsui (playing Midori Takamine), as well as “Ryuseitai” He answered that he was happy to be able to hear the voices of the audience live, which was not possible during the main performance of “Ensemble Stars! Extra Stage ~Meteor Lights~” (to be performed in Spring 2021).
Ra*bits'' (Mr. Osaki, Mr. Kumagai, Mr. Miyazaki, and Mr. Okui) said, After all, it’s a trolley!” looking back on the wonderful view of the stage and audience seats filled with light blue lights from the trolley. . They also confessed that in addition to being given daily parts, they felt pressured because they were performing on the “Knights” stage before their turn.
Mr. Kaminaga, who worked on “Akatsuki,” recalls that performing together with Naoki Takeko (Kiro Kiryu) was fun, even though it was difficult at times. Also, it was Kaminaga’s first experience dancing with a sword, so he was actually nervous.
Mr. Yokoi of MaM'' said that he was impressed by how amazing it was for Madara to fight alone against such a large audience, and that he would never forget the scenery he saw that day. In addition, it seems that he had long wanted to compose a song with Akatsuki,” and he and Kaminaga were delighted when they heard the set.
Mr. Kishimoto of “Eden” looked back on the performance that was unique to “Party Live,” which was different from the main event. Mr. Matsuda, on the other hand, said, “I had a hard time using earphones.” The other cast members also nodded deeply at this, which seemed to indicate that the audience’s cheers were amazing.
The other unit members seemed to be greatly inspired by the performance of “Eden”, and many said that they had become fans.
The last part of the memory talk was between Mr. Konami, Mr. Yasui, and Mr. Izawa, who appeared as the Five Strangers'' (long-time fans of the original work may have felt that they were the Three Strangers”).
According to them, Gokijin'' has a cast that works at their own pace. It was the first time the members had gathered together, but during rehearsals, he thought, Maybe this is what it would be like if the “Five Strangers” gathered together.” In addition, the venue was filled with laughter as they reenacted the steps of “Eccentric Party Night!!” that everyone had struggled with.
After the talk, we played the main VTR of “Party Live” and went to the “Review VTR Quiz” corner where you answered quizzes about it. Questions such as How many times have you heard the Knights” call (on current VTRs)?” and “What’s the next line?” come up with unusual and famous answers one after another.
Here, Nakanishi answered Natsume Gyakusen’s (played by Tsubasa Kizu)’s fans by saying, Blow a kiss,'' and what did Chiaki Morisawa shatter” with her cold? Mr. Tanimizu answered “hay fever” to the quiz, and the two people got the correct answer.
Next, the “Team Competitive Party Live Game” corner began. Team A (Mr. Yamamoto, Mr. Takenaka, Mr. Matsumura, Mr. Tanimizu), Team B (Mr. Saeki, Mr. Izawa, Mr. Nakanishi, Mr. Fukasawa), Team C (Mr. Osaki, Mr. Kumagai, Mr. Miyazaki, Mr. Okui), Team D It was a team competition divided into five groups: Team E (Yokoi-san, Kaminaga-san, Yasui-san), and E team (Matsuda-san, Kishimoto-san, Konami-san).
The first game is the “Drawing Message Game,” where each team draws an illustration for a given topic and passes it on to the next person. Other cast members can be seen watching from behind as the cast members draw pictures, and even chatting with them. There were teams whose illustrations were perfect, but the answer wasn’t correct, and there were also teams who were completely off topic due to unexpected developments, so unfortunately there were no teams who answered correctly.
The second game is the “Propaganda King Battle” where you have a chance to get 100 points and overturn the previous developments. This involved creating an impromptu commercial using “Party Live” goods, which was quite a challenge and all the teams had a hard time. Team D is making a big fuss, and teams B and C are advertising like a mail-order program. Team A performed a puppet show (?) using Axta, and the venue was filled with laughter.
And the winner was decided to be Team E, where Mr. Matsuda imitated Nanatsune Ibara (played by Shinichi Hashimoto) from beginning to end! I ended up getting a luxury meal ticket.
最後に、キャスト全員からひと言ずつ挨拶があった。座長を務めた山本さんは、「『あんステ』の集大成となるようなライブができたと思います。本当に素晴らしくて面白いキャストが揃ったなと感じますし、ファンの皆さんの愛が作品を支えてくれています。これからもいっぱい愛してくれたら嬉しいです」と締めくくり、大いに盛り上がったイベントは幕となった。
