Press Release

Daiichi Kosho Co., Ltd.

　Daiichi Kosho Co., Ltd. will sequentially distribute personal footage of popular voice actor Yusuke Shirai singing 'Wonderful Life' in DAM's content 'Anison Vocal' starting December 14th.
　 Additionally, a browser game titled 'What Will Anison Vocal Sing?' based on 'Anison Vocal' will be launched on December 17th. Participants have a chance to win autographed colored paper from 31 voice actors through a lottery.

　'Anison Vocal,' with the concept of 'That voice actor will sing for you,' is a DAM content that is enjoyable not only to sing but also to listen to.
　 Voice actors themselves sing their favorite anison songs they have selected, and you can watch original comments that can only be seen here during the opening and ending of the songs.
　 A total of 273 voice actors, from newcomers to veterans, appear. The lineup includes 314 songs, with 117 featuring newly recorded personal footage of the voice actors, making it premium content.

　Voice actors were asked to choose their personal favorite anime works or songs, rather than songs related to anime works they have appeared in. Checking which songs each voice actor has chosen is also one of the content's attractions.

　This time, voice actor Yusuke Shirai, known for roles such as Ramuda Amemura in 'Hypnosis Mic -Division Rap Battle-' and Io Naruko in 'Cute High Earth Defense Club LOVE!', will sing 'Wonderful Life' with personal footage. It will be sequentially distributed on our flagship karaoke model 'LIVE DAM Ai' starting December 14th.

　Furthermore, a browser game 'What Will Anison Vocal Sing?' featuring Yusuke Shirai as the navigator will be launched on December 17th. It is a quiz-style game where you watch parts of videos featuring voice actors currently distributed in 'Anison Vocal' and guess what they are singing.
　 There are no songs, intros, or lyrics; you choose what will be sung based solely on the voice actor's comments. Anison fans and others can enjoy it like a mystery game.
　 Participants in the game will have a chance to win autographed colored paper from luxurious voice actors through a lottery.

　Our company will continue to plan various projects so that more people can enjoy 'Anison Vocal'.

■ Yusuke Shirai's Top 5 'Anisong Vocal' Picks and Comments

1. Tomoko Kaneda singing 'Combattler V Theme'

This is the one I'm most curious about!!!
I can't sleep wondering how Kaneda-san will perform 'Combattler V' ( ´∀`)
From the opening 'V! V! V!' it'll probably be full-on Kaneda style ( ´∀`). It's unpredictable (lol).

2. Daiki Yamashita singing 'Good Morning.'

This song Yamashita-kun chose is the opening theme from the first 'HUNTER×HUNTER,' and I like it too—I even sing it at karaoke sometimes. I really want to hear how Yamashita-kun sings it!! It seems like it would suit him perfectly ( ´∀`).

3. Asami Imai singing 'Silent Voice'

This is the later opening theme for 'Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ,' and it matches Imai-san's voice so well—I really want to hear it!! It fits perfectly!!!
'Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ' is one of my top favorites in the Gundam series, so next time I meet Imai-san, I want to have a Gundam talk with her ( ´∀`).

4. Kazutomi Yamamoto singing 'Dunbine Flies'

This is a classic by MIQ, but I bet Yamamoto-kun can handle it in the original key ( ´∀`).
Singing a woman's song in the original key is really cool!!
But I was surprised that Yamamoto-kun chose Dunbine ( ´∀`).

5. Sho Hayami singing 'Dunbine Flies'

Yes, I couldn't overlook this Dunbine overlap (lol).
However!! Hayami-san actually played the role of the Black Knight, Burn Bunnings, in Dunbine!!! This is intense!!!
I want to compare it with Yamamoto-kun's 'Dunbine Flies' ( ´∀`).
