■New information: Celebrating the release of “KING OF PRISM -Dramatic PRISM.1-“! The official report of the stage greeting has arrived!
On Friday, August 16th, the first day of the release of the movie “KING OF PRISM -Dramatic PRISM.1-“, a special stage greeting was held with the all-star cast. In addition to the four cast members, Terashima Junta (voice of Ichijo Shin), Igarashi Miyabi (voice of Takahashi Minato), Aoi Shouta (voice of Kisaragi Louis), and Kobayashi Tatsuyuki (voice of Takadanobaba George GS/Ikebukuro Ace), general director Hishida Masakazu also rushed to Shinjuku Wald 9 to appear on stage.
The audience, still excited after just finishing watching the long-awaited, full-scale restart of the series, immediately erupted in loud applause and cheers. First, Terashima greeted the audience, saying, “Sorry to have kept you all waiting!” Next, Igarashi called out, “Welcome back, everyone!” to which the audience responded with a loud, “We’re back!” Next, Aoi spoke kindly to the audience, saying, “We finally met,” and Kobayashi stirred up the excitement in the venue by saying, “Are you all having fun?” The stage greeting began with the general director greeting, saying, “I’m Masakazu Hishida, now the general director.” When the MC asked Hishida how he became the “general director” from this film, Hishida told the story behind his appointment as “general director,” saying, “At first, the proposal was, ‘How about the boss?'” in order to handle a variety of tasks beyond director, so he took on the title of general director from this film.
When asked about his impressions of the film, Terashima said, “King & Prince is something I can’t put into words. I felt that this is King & Prince right from the beginning,” reflecting on the film, which was restarted after a four-year hiatus. Igarashi also talked about the new commercials that were added this time, and was so excited that he said, “What is this commercial! It’s the best!” Igarashi’s love for King & Prince is so strong that the general director had to stop him, saying, “One minute! One minute!!” Aoi continued, “I was happy to be able to see everyone’s Prism Show again. I thought that Rui’s Prism Show had the emotion and love of the show with Shin.” Kobayashi reminisced about his memories with King & Prince, saying, “I’ve always loved King & Prince, and I went to the cheering screenings even before it was decided that I would play the role,” and mentioned the long-awaited Prism Show of Takadanobaba George, which was finally made an appearance in this film, saying, “George’s CG has arrived!” The audience responded to the shouts of joy with loud applause. Although the director expressed his unique feelings by saying, “I’m only anxious from the time it’s completed until it’s screened,” he also touched on a new scene in the film and expressed his thoughts about the movie, saying, “I’m glad it made people laugh.”
During the talk, the question “How many of you are coming to see King & Prince for the first time?” was asked, and the audience responded. The cast members were all smiles when they heard that this film was King & Prince’s debut, with a ton of new CG, new scenes, and new jumps, as well as footage from “KING OF PRISM -Shiny Seven Stars-“. It was full of fun for both existing fans and those experiencing the series for the first time.
The topic then turned to the ending theme song for this film, “LINK WORLD.” When asked about his memories of the recording, Terashima said, “It’s a song that’s full of King & Prince-ness. It’s been a few years since I last sang as Shin, but as soon as I heard the song, the feeling came back.” Igarashi once again spoke with great excitement, saying, “When I first heard the song, I thought, ‘This is King & Prince!’ with just one phrase.” When asked about the “fake preview” that has become King & Prince’s tradition (a preview-like video for the next film that has not yet been decided to be produced), Aoi and Kobayashi looked at each other with excitement, saying, “What’s that!? Right?” The talk corner ended with the audience expressing their expectations after Aoi revealed the secret about the “fake preview.”
Finally, Kobayashi commented to the audience, “Let’s continue to spread the sparkle of your prisms all over the world!” Aoi said, “I feel like I’ve finally received everyone’s love after four years,” and the audience responded with applause. Igarashi called out, “Let’s all be the core and make it even more exciting!” and received a big, powerful response from the audience. The general director also called out, “This work has started to move forward as a restart. I think it’s up to you to decide what will happen from now on. I hope you will spread the sparkle even more.” Then, Terashima, referring to the “fake trailer” that is a tradition of this work, called out to the audience, “I was able to hug you all again without waiting for the 22nd century. I’m sure you want to make that fake trailer for real!” The venue was filled with overflowing cheers. The stage greeting ended with the usual call and response of “Music Ready Sparking!”, and the stage greeting ended in a warm atmosphere.
Tomorrow, August 17th (Sat), a total of 11 cast members from both the Edel Rose and Schwarz Rose camps, who will compete in the in-game tournament “PRISM.1”, are scheduled to appear on stage for a talk. The Edel Rose camp, led by the protagonist Ichijo Shin, will feature seven stars of different colors: Terashima Junta, Hatanaka Tasuku (voice of Kougami Taiga), Yashiro Taku (voice of Juouin Kakeru), Igarashi Miyabi, Nagatsuka Takuma (voice of Saionji Leo), and Uchida Yuuma (voice of Suzuno Yu). We will deliver a lot of love and sparkle to everyone at the “Stage Greeting to Commemorate the Release – Nanairo no Tsudoi! -“. In the “Release Commemoration Stage Greetings – Glorious Schwarz!” episode, which will deliver a glorious stage under the banner of Schwarz Rose, which includes Kisaragi Rui, Aoi Shouta, Takeuchi Shunsuke (role of Yamato Alexander), Sugita Tomokazu (role of Takadanobaba George), and Kobayashi Tatsuyuki, the Schwarz Rose camp will gather in public for the first time in the series’ history. In addition, Terashima Junta and Hatanaka Tasuku will also make an emergency appearance from the Edel Rose camp! Tickets for the venue sold out immediately! We will also be connecting with theaters nationwide via live viewing. Tickets for the live viewing are now on sale at each theater’s website.
