Celebrating Midorikawa Hikaru's Birthday with Special Guest Furukawa Makoto!
On April 15, 2025, the highly anticipated episode of 'Monthly Midorikawa Hikaru with Animelo' aired live on Niconico, celebrating the birthday of beloved voice actor Midorikawa Hikaru. The show featured the charming guest Furukawa Makoto, a junior voice actor who adores Midorikawa, setting the stage for an afternoon filled with laughter, warmth, and vibrant performances.
As the episode commenced, Midorikawa, known for his roles in 'Ensemble Stars!!' as Eichi Tenshoin and in 'Detective Conan' as Akira Murofushi, greeted the audience with his characteristic charisma. Despite jokingly proclaiming he was already fatigued from talking, he humorously showcased his new sheer outfit, which elicited an excited response from Furukawa off-screen and thrilled viewers commenting live with excitement. The energy was high, with viewers cheering, “So cute!” and expressing their joy.
Furukawa introduced himself as 'Captain Leaf,' representing the fans of Midorikawa affectionately known as 'Leaf-chan.' His entrance was met with an avalanche of gifts from fans, leading to delightful banter as they struggled to see through the colorful barrage on screen. Amidst this fun, Midorikawa used his trademark catchphrase, 'Emerald Flash!' creating an atmosphere of joy and playfulness.
The first segment introduced 'Capsule Talk,' a new interactive feature where they exchanged capsule toys containing various discussion prompts. One of the questions asked about their fitness routines, and Midorikawa revealed he engages in a Fit Boxing 3 workout while Furukawa admitted he rides an exercise bike thrice a week. This serious moment stood in stark contrast to their earlier humor, highlighting their commitment to health.
As the show unfolded, they delved into another query concerning what they found adorable about each other. Midorikawa jokingly replied, "Everything about you is cute! Next question!" This delightful exchange prompted viewers to celebrate Midorikawa’s affection, while Furukawa shyly expressed his happiness, clearly touched by the compliment.
The show then moved into more hilarity as they combined playful conversation with various games and anecdotes. Midorikawa shared laughs, fumbled with capsules, and playfully expressed fatigue from using his catchphrase too often. The genuine camaraderie shared between the two voice actors radiated through the screen, endearing them even further to their audience.
As they neared the end of the free segment, Furukawa prepared a special gift for Midorikawa; blue tea to honor his upcoming birthday. When Midorikawa playfully asked for a rendition of 'Happy Birthday,' Furukawa delivered a spectacular and energetic performance that had viewers singing his praises, commenting on the joy in his voice and his unique singing style. The room filled with laughter and spirited responses from their enthusiastic audience.
In the later stages of the episode, the paid segment on animelo+ featured a playful challenge called 'Green Memory Game,' where they had to identify matching pairs of green cards. This segment underlined their teamwork and allowed fans to see how much fun the duo was having while engaging in light-hearted competition. Despite the humorous attempts that nearly drove them to madness, they successfully completed the game without losing their cool.
