The first solo event for Himitsu no AiPri, part of the popular Pretty Series anime and game series, Himitsu no Aipri Buzzrium Live, was held on January 25th at Bunkyo Civic Large Hall (Bunkyo Ward, Tokyo). At the event, it was announced that the second season of the TV anime will begin airing in April. Fujidera Mitsunori, who voices Aozora Himari, said, "We, Aipri, will continue on to a new world. Let's all jump into the world of the Aipriverse together and make our dreams come true!"
The two main characters Himari (Mitsutoshi Fujidera) and Mitsuki (Sayori Hiratsuka) appeared as the first act and performed the duo song "Muteki DUO Energy". Next, Tsumugi (Yurika Kubo) sang "Hikari no Kotoba". After the song ended, Himari and Mitsuki returned to the stage and the three of them talked about the joy of holding their first solo live show.
The live performance started with Ice Mylin's "Nevagibara" by Airi (Sora Tokui) and Linlin (Watada Misaki). They then handed the baton over to Ruby Lazuli's Sakura (Hibi Yurika) and Tamaki (Suzuki Anna), who sang "Stand Get Up". Following Mitsuki's "Secret Dream", Chii Mamiya (Daichi Yo) performed "Chi's Secret My Song♪" for the first time at an event. Himari bounced around the stage to "POPPY", followed by Tsumugi's debut performance of "Kirameki no Uta".
The second half of the show started with Himari's "Pastel Step Days". Chii, walking through the audience, got the crowd excited with "GIRA GIRA STAR". Sakura, Tamaki, Airi, and Linlin performed "Perfect☆STARs", while Himari, Mitsuki, and Tsumugi performed "We're The World". The entire cast performed a medley as the "Bazurium Medley", and all sang the opening theme "Zenryokujoshikakumei!".
Daichi, who plays Chii, commented, "I hope everyone had a good time today. It was fun to be able to perform GIRA GIRA STAR, which is causing a big stir in the anime, as well as my own songs from the game! I'd be happy to have another opportunity like this, so please, someone in charge!"
Watada, who plays Linlin, said, "It was fun because I felt like we all became one through the live performance," Tokui, who plays Airi, said, "I'm glad all the cool Pretty Tomo members came together!", Suzuki, who plays Tamaki, said, "There were lots of cute children here today and lots of energetic friends. Thank you for all the loud cheers!", and Hibi, who plays Sakura, said, "Did all the Pretty Tomo members enjoy themselves to the fullest? Please continue to support the members who are working hard for your beloved Airi!"
Kubo, who plays Tsumugi, expressed her gratitude to the fans, saying, "Solo songs are fun, but singing with everyone is really fun. It made me realize how great it is to have friends. It's all thanks to everyone who supports me!"
Hiratsuka, who plays Mitsuki, said, "I was so nervous at last year's Crossing Live that I ended up going in without sleeping at all, but today, thanks to everyone's warm support, I was able to sleep well and take to the stage in high spirits!"
Fujidera, who plays Himari, said, "Thank you for singing and dancing with us today! It was exactly one year ago today that I was decided to appear as a voice actress in the AiPri anime, and I am really happy to be able to stand here as a cast member in this Pretty Series, which I have loved since I was a child. I have always wanted to hold a live event for the work alone ever since the anime was decided, so I am also happy that it has come true just one year after the series began. Thanks to everyone's support, it has been decided that the second season of the anime will be broadcast, so please continue to support the series in the future!" and at the end, everyone sang "AiPri Birth-in!"
In "Himitsu no AiPri", the main characters jump into a "secret world" to become idol princesses "Aipuri". The TV anime is broadcast every Sunday at 10 am on TV Tokyo.
