A stage greeting to commemorate the release of the latest film in the popular anime series "KING OF PRISM" "KING OF PRISM-Your Endless Call-Everyone Sparkle! Prism Tours" was held on June 27th at Shinjuku Wald 9 (Shinjuku, Tokyo). Junta Terashima, who plays Ichijo Shin, Masami Igarashi, who plays Takayama Minato, Shouta Aoi, who plays Kisaragi Rui, Satsuki Nakayama, who plays Kannazuki Ai, Tatsuyuki Kobayashi, who plays Mitaka Asahi, and general director Masakazu Hishida appeared on stage and talked about the "shock" of the latest film.
The new work will use a time machine to travel through time and worlds to perform a variety of new Prism Shows. The appearance of the "Pretty Boys" from the "Pretty Series" is also a hot topic, transcending the boundaries of the work. Aoi-san said in surprise, "There are many firsts. I was surprised by the Prism Show of those two. Jin-san, you sing that song! I was really moved by Hijiri-sama's Bang Bang Bang!"
Kobayashi, who also appeared in the "King & Prince" series as Ikebukuro Ace, took to the stage as Asahi Mitaka, "WITH" from "Idol Time PriPara." "The excitement of 'Idol Time PriPara' has been brought back to life, and I'm so happy!" she said with joy.
Guests can also enjoy CG live footage of WITH's song "Super Darling." Kobayashi said, "Super Darling is a song that WITH performed at their live shows, and they made it into CG, and I was surprised at how cute the costumes were. The choreography from the live show was projected onto the CG, and the three members of WITH were like, 'Isn't this amazing!' We are truly grateful. We at WITH are also very grateful."
For "KING OF PRISM -Dramatic PRISM.1-", which will be released in 2024, Tony Tony Chopper from "ONE PIECE" was appointed as the "King & Prince One-Day Cheer Captain", which also became a hot topic. Director Hishida appeared on stage in a straw hat and red shirt and said, "I wanted to somehow express my gratitude to the reindeer for their support. I've never dressed like this in my life, but I hope that my feelings will be conveyed to the reindeer."
The stage greeting came to a close with a call and response between the speakers and fans of "To the Prism Show" and "I'll give you a hug!"
