Ayaka Suwa, voice of A2, tweeted about the happy news that she recently gave birth to a healthy baby. In the tweet, she mentions that she hopes to return to work soon to deliver more wonder things to all fans.

Thank you for your encouragement. I will keep working hard each day!

Bakuken 4 Key Visual Revealed

The key visual for the next edition in the Bakuken stage play series has been officially released. It seems like we’re going back to the black/white color scheme from the first play.

And, I can’t help but imagine that the hairstyle for Michael / Akiyama Yoshifuru is reminiscent of Masayoshi Yura’s bandage/eye patch… I’m sure that’s not intended here; just, I can’t help but see things that aren’t necessarily there. haha

The new subtitle reads:

Swordsmen & Servicemen & Gluttony & War & Deception
