Exploring the Special Broadcast of 'Kujimate vol.5'

On August 31, 2025, from 20:00, the remarkable special event "Kujimate vol.5: 24-Hour Experience with the D-S Sadistic Glasses Man" was streamed on Niconico Live. This engaging talk show is centered around the online lottery service, Kujimate, sold through Animate's online store. The special was hosted by the well-known voice actor Ryutaro Okaiwa, who has contributed to various anime, including his roles as Meisuke Nuenou in "Jigoku-sensei Nube" and Kokushibo in "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba." His guest for this episode was the equally popular voice actor Junichi Suwabe, known for his roles as Ryomen Sukuna in "Jujutsu Kaisen" and Keigo Atobe in "The Prince of Tennis."

Introduction and Opening Remarks

The broadcast kicked off with a delightful discussion about how Ryutaro and Junichi first met. Both actors reminisced, admitting that they couldn't clearly remember their initial impressions. Ryutaro humorously speculated, "Wasn't it during the Prince of Tennis sessions?" Meanwhile, he recalled what another voice actress, Junko Minagawa, had told him at the time: "A wonderful voice person is coming!" This subject encouraged laughter and a relatable exchange about their experiences in auditions and the industry.

Introducing the Kujimate Lottery

The first segment of the show was titled "Kujimate Quick Overview!" For those unfamiliar, Kujimate is an online lottery with attractive prizes that promises no blanks. The current lottery, themed around "24-Hour Experience with the D-S Sadistic Glasses Man,” features a prize structure designed to indulge fans in loveable D-S moments with the glasses character. The hosts described some enticing prize options during the show.

Prize Highlights

Among the A Prizes is an exclusive one-on-one online tea session with Ryutaro, offering fans a unique dialogue opportunity of around five minutes, followed by a commemorative photo. During the segment, Junichi cheekily asked, "Can we talk about bank balances?" which led to amusing viewer reactions in the chat like, "I want to know about the bank balance!" The B Prize features a signed color paper from Ryutaro, made live during the stream, while the C Prize provides a personalized situation voice recorded with the winner's name. The voice is produced using a dummy head microphone and promises unique recordings for each winner.

The D Prize includes a framework of situation voices, integrating a secret element with a total of 27 variations. Junichi playfully speculated on what a voice scenario involving a D-S glasses person in an izakaya (Japanese pub) would sound like, highlighting the playful nature of the broadcast.

Interactive Sample Voice Session

The pair then engaged in a fun "trial experience," where they took turns using the dummy head microphone to record sample lines. Ryutaro provided sweet dialogue fitting for his D-S glasses persona, causing a brief mix-up on-screen that led to viewer comments like, "The mistake is actually a bonus!" Junichi then showcased his take on a different character, drawing comments about his performance resembling a "maniac butler" or a "final boss-type." Their conversations flowed into their evolving roles in the industry, highlighting how both voice actors now take on older characters suited to their current ages.

Fun Summer Games and Listener Interaction

In the second half of the broadcast, there was a special segment exclusive to animelo+ members, where a fun shooting game was played to initiate various topic discussions, including popular summer anime that evoke nostalgia. Junichi kicked it off with "Touch," sharing his own comedic insights about the anime’s re-broadcasting traditions during summer, resonating well with their viewers.

Throughout the episode, interactions with the audience netted varied suggestions on summer anime preferences, from "My Hero Academia" to "Spirited Away." Another fun quiz about Ryutaro’s profile resulted in hearty laughter as both actors shared humorous insights on his high school memories and club activities from their youth.

Final Thoughts and Closing Remarks

As the episode came to a close, both Ryutaro and Junichi shared their impressions of the broadcast with phrases like, "It flew by!" and "It felt like a few seconds!"
