The live part was very popular on DAY1 as well.“UAF is entering the venue.” corner. Hitomi Ueda, who plays the role of Gold Ship and was a guest appearance as a horse tuner like Sonon Elfie, will liven up the corner with her words.
Perhaps consciously, Mr. Ueda called out the name of the competition with a unique intonation and twist of his tongue (similar to Lenny Hart, who is famous for his martial arts ring calls), and the venue was filled with the excitement of a martial arts tournament. Especially. Just like “Explosive My Soul” continued, and the excitement was already high!
I expected it to fly with high tension from the beginning, but Sakura Kasuga, who plays the role of Hishimiracle, appeared in a relaxed manner and said, “I heard some kind of loud noise.'' It seems that she received a letter from Narita Top Road and Symboli Chris S telling her to “Do your best on 5th EVENT!'' She was filled with motivation from the encouragement and wrote her solo song “Ordinary, sometimes miraculous” in a relaxed manner.
The venue had a relaxing atmosphere similar to Mirako's, and Tanaka's solo song “One shot soul ☆ Pegasus Punch” sounds. The song is inspired by Biko Pegasus' favorite special effects hero, and standard special effects explosions are also played on the screen, making the audience laugh.
What was amazing about this stage wasUsing the audience aislehero show” has been done!Midway through the song, a siren suddenly sounded, and Mr. Uesaka appeared in the audience seat as “Dr. Mad Tachyon NEO.” They take hostage Rika Kinogawa, who plays Narita Brian, and Mizuki Mano, who plays Sakura Laurel, and take control of the venue.
As a hero, Mr. Tanaka also moved to the aisle of the audience seats and chased Mr. Uesaka and his friends as they ran away. The Uma Musume dancers act as minions and block the way, Tanaka-san defeats them, and Akesaka-san urges, “Good boy trainer, please cheer for Biko Pegasus!'' The promise of a hero show. Reproduce.

As they circled around, they placed Golshi (cart) and Uma Musume's Donjara in the open area of the passage, and they collected them and showed off their monoboke. When we collected the first volume of the comic of “Uma Musume Pispis☆Spispi Kanojo no Golshi-chan,'' which is the main character, the advertisement was done perfectly and drew laughter.
After the extraordinary performance typical of Golshi, the three sisters, Yuko Natsuyoshi who played Chevalgrain, Kaya Okuno who played Virsina, and Ayasa Ito who played Viblos, performed “our bluebird days” to cool down.From there“DRAMATIC JOURNEY” “Akogare Challenge Dash!!” “Aya Phantasia”This concludes the opening part.
In the midfield is Derby's “winning the soul (High-voltage Ver.)”, Mr. Ogura’s “paradise” and then entered the solo part. Ms. Ogura's performance was limited due to her ankle injury, and she didn't move much on stage, but her singing and facial expressions alone engulfed the venue, and the overwhelming atmosphere that could be called a dominating power was enough to make my heart go wild. I was grabbed.
Next, Mr. Kinugawa said, “Oath of Shadow Roll (The Solid Revision)” is shown. This is Narita Brian's solo song, but it was announced before the voice actor in charge was changed from Yuka Aisaka to Kinugawa. Perhaps because “BLAZE” was also there, Mr. Kinugawa never sang this song.
but,Kinugawa's version will finally be released at the 5th EVENT!Mr. Akesaka also said, “It will be unveiled in a newly reborn form!'', giving a sense of the new era that is typical of NEW GATE.
