The cast included Ryohei Kimura, who plays Kiyomasa Sengi, Kaito Ishikawa, who plays Ryuga Sengi, and Yuki Tomotsune, who plays Shota Kagami. We will report on the event, which was packed with fun activities such as game introductions, actual gameplay, and a reading drama.
“Aoyama Operetta” is a youth opera company training game where each team competes against each other in the “Aoyama Operetta” opera company in Aoyama, which is made up of unmarried men. The game is characterized by male actors playing not only male roles but also female roles, and within the theater there are teams called Nova, Piena, Falce, and Mezza, and each team aims to make their stage performance a success. Even before the game was released, it was a notable work that was widely developed into radio, drama CDs, stage performances, comics, etc.
The event to commemorate the release of the game “Aoyama Operetta” featured a promotional video for the game, followed by appearances by Ryohei Kimura, who plays Kiyomasa Sengi, Kaito Ishikawa, who plays Ryuga Sengi, and Yuki Tomotsune, who plays Shota Kagami. Tomotsune was the MC for the event.
First, he introduced the project, including the game. In 2020, the project was announced by three companies, Cybird, Avex Pictures, and ABC Frontier, and Kimura, who has been involved in the game, was surprised that it has already been four years. When he asked if anyone had listened to the radio or seen the play, many hands were raised in the audience. A video of the play in which Tomotsune also appeared was played, and when he introduced himself as “the second one in the play,” Kimura replied, “He really shines.”
Ishikawa also teased him, saying, “It’s all about spirit,” to which Tomotsune replied with an embarrassed look, “Please stop!” After the video ended, Ishikawa commented, “You were dancing extremely vigorously.”
Here, the story of the game and other things are introduced, stating, “In preparation for the memorable 100th class, a new team consisting only of the 100th class will be formed, but friction arises between them and the 99th class, who are not happy about this.”
When Kimura heard about this story, he said, “Of course we’d be angry! For us (Kiyomasa and Ryuga), it’s like a training school student from one year younger than us is debuting. We didn’t even get rejected for the audition. We’re the ones paying the monthly tuition!”, and was angry from the character’s point of view. However, Ishikawa said, “The difference in our debut ages made it difficult for me to empathize with you,” to which Kimura replied, “Why not?”
Tomotsune said, “I listen to your voices a lot too. I binge-watched ‘Haikyu!’ the other day and was really excited.” Kimura added, “Our jobs are basically self-employed, so we don’t eat from the same pot (like in the show) and we don’t compete with each other, so I think it’s interesting.”
