■FANTASTICS are thrilled when Shimono Hiro reads the program’s narration live!
“FUN! FUN! FANTASTICS” is a situation comedy show on terrestrial TV starring FANTASTICS, where they appear as themselves and receive direct instruction from legends in various fields on nostalgic culture. The guest on the third episode of season 4, which will air on July 16th, will be voice actor Hiro Shimono.
The members were astonished to hear that Shimono, who voices well-known characters such as Connie Springer in “Attack on Titan” and Zenitsu Agatsuma in “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba,” still auditions. He will also share precious anecdotes, such as dubbing mistakes from his rookie days and memorable lines. He also voiced the main character of an anime, which was his dream as a voice actor in his 20s. With his dream coming true so quickly, Shimono revealed that he had “lost my next goal.” What was the unexpected trigger that motivated him?
■ Hiro Shimono demonstrates his narration skills live! Who is the member with the best narration skills?
Shimono, who is currently active not only as a voice actor but also in various narration projects, narrated the program live in the studio. Everyone was impressed and excited by his narration skills, reading the script in perfect timing with a beautiful intonation that matched the VTR. So, we also had them take a look at the narration of the FANTASTICS members. Who was it that made Shimono say, “It’s so overwhelming that I think of them as my rivals!”?
And from September, the live stage “BACK TO THE MEMORIES PART4” will be held, where FANTASTIC 6 (Natsuki Sawamoto, Reiya Seguchi, Natsuki Hori, Keito Kimura, Yusei Yagi, and Sota Nakajima) will perform a number of nostalgic hits. It will be performed in six cities nationwide, the most in the series, and they are also scheduled to perform together with Takanori Jinnai. Advance tickets are available for reservation by lottery at EXILE TRIBE FC until 23:00 on July 15th.
