Name: 伊藤かな恵の超ラジ! Girls
Host: Itou Kanae
Guest: Toyosaki Aki
Date: 2009.04.21
Aki guesting on Kanae’s ChoRaji! Girls to promote Sphere :O This was a day before the release of their debut single ‘Future Stream’. Incidentally, this was a bit under 3 weeks after K-ON aired. This was Aki’s first time guesting on her radio show. This episode aired while Shugo Chara’s radio was still active as well as about 5 months before the Railgun radio started.
– The two of them seemed a bit iffy at the start and they noted that it felt a bit weird to be talking one on one on radio, since they know each other well from meeting regularly in the Shugo Chara recordings and it’s radio show. Talking one on one is probably rare for them at this time.
– Aki was asked beforehand the question “What she’s currently interested in” and wrote “Giita” which Kanae asked “Jii…ta?” when reading the answer aloud lol. As everyone knows, Aki’s picked up the guitar ever since K-ON and Kanae also plays the guitar so it’s a nice bit of common ground for them. Though Kanae avoided the subject when Aki asked her about her own guitar playing.
– Ahaha Kanae says “debu[fat]” instead of debut when talking about Sphere’s debut single. “Sphere’s fatty” OTL
– When talking about how the C/W song for Future Stream, Treasures, was an image song for the MMO Trickster, Kanae is unsure of the meaning of an Online game lol, to Aki’s amusement.
– Apparently the filming of the Future Stream PV took a whole day to complete.
– Aki says that Sphere’s next new song was already completed at this time. Next song completed before the debut song’s release :O
– Kanae had trouble taking the lid off her whiteboard marker lol <3
– The two of them are asked to spell ‘Guitar’ in english and they both got it wrong lol. Aki said “Guweetirrrrr” when she displayed her answer <3
– Aki mentions she’s been bitten by a monkey before :O
– Aki tells Kanae that she reads her blog, to her embarassment. Kanae then replies saying she reads hers as well, and the atmosphere becomes pretty… Pink lol.
I miss Railgun radio :(

I’m amused that Tomatsu Haruka’s new single ‘Baby Baby Love’ debuted at #9 on Oricon’s daily ranking again. This makes it the fourth single from the Music Ray’n girls to hit their highest daily ranking record of #9 but not surpass it. Incidentally the other three were Haruka’s ‘Motto Hade ni ne’, Aki’s ‘Love Your Life’ and most recently Minako’s ‘Shiny+’. Yes poor Ayahime isn’t included here :(
Perhaps we can look to Aki’s next single to finally break #9? がんば Aki~!
If it ends up touching but not passing #9 again I’m gonna laugh :D
Edit: Dill debuted at 11 lol. Well there’s still Minako’s and Ayahi’s tied-in single for this month :D
Edit 2: Aki’s new single Shun Pu debuted at #5 on 2011.04.13 lol. The streak is broken, go Aki!

Hosts: Sugita Tomokazu, Imai Asami, Kondou Kanako
Guest: Takahashi Mikako
Date: 2010.11.04
What? Takahashi Mikako’s guesting on this episode of Arcana Heart Radio? She definitely didn’t voice a character in BlazBlue if I recall correctly…
Hold on, Arcana Heart Radio? (lol)
It appears that Mikako(Aino Heart) is guesting on BluRaji to promote and support the upcoming Arcana Heart 3 PS3/360 release, her appearance on BluRaji made possible due to the two games having the same developer. I laughed at the hijack though :D.
– Imai greets Mikako with “Payopayo~” lol
– Sugita straight out from the start calls her Mikakong-senpai, to her outcry “DON’T CALL ME MIKAKONG!” Of course Sugita doesn’t relent though lol.
– Mikako complains that she’s been getting mail calling her Kong-senpai due to Sugita lol. Poor Mikako.
– When they’re talking about how much they know about the game, Kanako says she doesn’t know anything about it, Imai says she knows about it but hasn’t actually played it and Sugita says he bought the game and played it… “Because a fighting game with girls only? What a wonderful paradise!” Ahahah.
– Imai and Kanako tell Mikako to try and keep Sugita in check this episode and she joking tells him off, to which Sugita cheekily replies by singing Mikako’s OtoMelody song lol http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhDaRR5a-jQ
– Sawashiro Miyuki sends in a voiced message to the radio show as well as to narrate a little quiz to them, but not as BlazBlue’s Carl Clover, instead as Arcana Heart’s new character Weiss. Just guest her on the show already! D:
– For the drawing corner they’re given an image with Aino Heart punching, with them needing to fill out what’s coming from her punch. Mikako draws this blob like thing, to which everyone reacts like it’s poo coming out lol to Mikako’s horror.
She tries to explain herself saying that it’s whipped cream, since Aino Heart loves making cakes and stuff, which doesn’t really help the situation since Sugita then yells out “Oh! I love this idea! I love fighting games where girls cover each other with whipped cream!” LOL SUGITA.
– Apparently next episode’s guest is Ishiwatari Daisuke.
– There were many references to Payo Payo throughout the show lol.
Sugita and Mikako have known each other for almost 10 years and entered the seiyuu industry at around the same time so they’re pretty friendly with each other. I’ve always loved hearing their combination on radio, the Radio StrikerS episode which Sugita guested in with Mikako as the host in particular was hilarious. I didn’t expect to hear it here on BluRaji but hooray \o/ here it is :D

This is basically a series of videos where Aki plays a game in which she is given a theme to talk about for 30 seconds. On top of this she picks out a card at random with a phrase or word she is required to insert somewhere into that 30 seconds of talking. It’s a really cute set of videos showing Aki struggle and play around with the game <3.
I loved the part in the second video where the theme she gets is “What she does for a change of pace” with the phrase she has to use being “not playing”. As we all know how playful Aki is, she gives up pretty early on with inserting the phrase in and starts talking about what she’s been doing in her leisure time lol. She starts out talking about frequenting the batting centre recently, and then continuing on to bowling before time runs out with no attempt to add in the phrase. Her finishing words were “…I’m the type of person who loves to play…”
P.s. She also mentions that her favourite genre of music is Rock ‘n’ Roll.
Aki is so much luff <3

Host: Hirohashi Ryou
Guest: Kamiya Hiroshi
Date: 2010.10.15
Radio hosted by Yamada’s Hirohashi Ryou for the WORKING!! anime. This episode has Kamiya Hiroshi guesting.
Apparently next episode is the final episode. Maybe.
– Hirohashi says Nakata Jouji was the first guest on the 2nd episode, forgetting Asumi Kana lol. Kamiya lightly scolds her saying “Oi! She’s the heroine! How could you forget her??”
– Hirohashi: “I remember just looking at her feet during that episode” Hirohashi’s got some erojiji outbreaks every now and again lol
– Hirohashi says the announcement of next week’s episode being the last episode may just be a lie. Lol what? …I guess we’ll have to see?
– When asking Kamiya if he thinks Souma is an S or not Kamiya says he’s not sure, so Hirohashi declares him S due to the “S” in his name. Kamiya then says Satou is S as well going by that logic, and Hirohashi is completely dumbfounded by this revelation lol. She literally goes “:O” and goes speechless for the longest time lol. Kamiya in turn is surprised by how shocked she reacts.
– Kamiya says if he was to choose a character to marry in Working!! he’d choose Poplar. He didn’t give it much thought and it sounded really half-hearted so who knows if he really likes her the most lol.
– On the other hand he said he’d choose Otou-san if he was to choose a male character as a girl. Weird situation to consider really. For the other characters he said:
Big brother: Souma
Big sister: Inami
Little brother: Katanashi/Takanashi
Little sister: Yamada
– Hirohashi’s planning to go to Hokkaido(Working!!’s setting) next[November] month for a holiday.
– Kamiya talks about one time when he was mistaken for a random girl by his grandmother when he went out to meet her a while ago lol. I remember him mentioning another time when a convenience store attendant mistook him for a woman as well in another radio show lol.
– Kamiya notes that there’s only 4 people in the room, 2 staff other than the two personalities, and say’s it seems really empty. Only two staff members present really is a small gathering for a radio show, to compare, BlazBlue Radio has about 10-15 staff members present at each recording if I recall correctly, though that is one of the larger staffed radio shows.
Sometimes Kamiya’s really upbeat on his radio shows, and other times he’s really unenergetic lol. Either way he’s always pretty funny and always really witty. On that matter, he was his unenergetic self this episode. It still makes for an entertaining listening though.

From http://koenews.blog9.fc2.com/blog-entry-707.html
Apparently there are rumours going around that Nana’s getting married :O. The main candidate everyone’s talking about is Sakurai Takahiro, of which there have been rumours floating about these two for quite some time now, though nothing near concrete. A few translations of the comments from that blog article:
– I want to die
– Really, she should have just married already.
– Is it Sakurai [Sakarai Takahiro]
– Sakurai’s that ikemen?
– She’s already 30 years old after all
– Take that otakuuuus lol
– It’s not true….. Right?
– Dammit
– DFC fever lol
– She’s over 30 already, give her a break
– The seiyuu otaku should just lift the romance ban for those over 30
– There have been rumours of Sakurai and Nana being together since long ago. Otherwise there’s Wakamoto or Suzumura.
Yeah lol, theres the standard seiyuu otaku cries, but I’m glad to see people supporting her marriage :D
Either way it’s all still unfounded rumours and nothing solid has surfaced quite yet so who knows how this will turn out.
Edit: This has pretty much been denied by Nana and her management ever since.

Host: Iguchi Yuka
Guest: Asumi Kana
Date: 2010.01.08
Episode that aired right after the New Years on the now finished ChoRaji Girls. Asumi’s guesting for her second time, the last time she guested was on the 20th episode on 2008.8.22. The two of them meet up outside work all the time and are really close with each other so their conversation sounds more like two high school girls playing with each other with all the jabs, boke and tsukkomi’ing that’s really fun to listen to =)
– Asumi comments that last time she was here there wasn’t any video.
– Iguchi tells Asumi that since there’s video Asumi is free to move(re:dance) around as much as she likes while she’s reading the mail lol.
– Iguchi is given one of those scratchy things (those lottery win money if what’s revealed on the card is a hit or not) and starts scratching it off while Asumi is talking to her, she then bursts out screeching “YESS I WIN” in the middle of Asumi’s conversation interrupting her, to Asumi’s annoyance. She only won 200 yen lol.
– Asumi says she plans to get married by 30, heh that’s in three years Asumi~
– Asumi says she slept under a kotatsu during New Years and Iguchi replies by saying she’s glad she didn’t catch a cold. She then followed it up with “But well you know the saying how idiots don’t catch colds!” ahaha, Asumi then responds by saying “Yeah that goes for you too” lol
– Asumi says she wants to concentrate more on improving her femininity because “Everyone’s pretty cute…” lol You’re plenty cute Asumi!
– They talk about how they spent Christmas together in a really flirty way ahaha.
– Iguchi explains how she’s not just a “seiyuu”, but a “seiyuu idol!” to Asumi, who’s just laughing ahahah.
– They start talking about Hidamari Sketch Hoshimittsu which had just started airing and Iguchi says “Ah I watched it!” Asumi replies “Ehh really?” turns out she was just lying about watching it lol.
– Iguchi and Asumi mentions that Tamagotchis were popular back in school but they couldn’t bring it to school else they’d be confiscated lol. That happened to my school too! D:
– Asumi says she’s never been to a class reunion before, though one time when she got an invite, her mum turned it down for her without her permission lol. Well she did live in Fukuoka then, and is living in Tokyo now I guess.
– When Iguchi thanks Asumi for coming as a guest for her second time she bows her head to the table and bangs it a couple of times, to Asumi and the staff’s alarm ahaha.
– They note that they meet up personally all the time but never get to meet up during work.
I haven’t heard Iguchi Yuka on radio ever since the Kamen no Mask Guy radio but she’s hilarious, and she really really gets along with Asumi. She’s a popular personality and I can see why lol.
Also, I kind of say this all the time, but seriously these two in particular are close friends. (But yeah I wouldn’t listen in to a radio with two hosts that don’t get along lol).
It’s a shame this was the last time Asumi appeared on the show to it’s end last month :( Let’s hope she comes to Iguchi’s new Muuuun Radio show :D

Hosts: Sugita Tomokazu, Imai Asami, Kondou Kanako
Guest: Isomura Tomomi
Date: 2010.10.21
This episode’s guest is Makoto Nanaya’s seiyuu, Isomura Tomomi again, should be a fun episode :D.
– Sugita starts of with an OreImo reference lol. Listener sends in a mail talking about how his dad told him not to play too much H games, and Sugita responds “Wait, no it’s Kirino’s!” hah
– Ehh There’s no Kanako at the start of the episode, but Isocchi starts off with them… Isocchi is replacing Kanako for this episode? …Nope Kanako comes in as a guest as “Lambda’s seiyuu” lol. I’m guessing she was running late or something :O They mentioned something about buying time before she arrived and she came in pretty flustered.
– I think I’ve said this before but I love when Sugita does his Kakihara Tetsuya voice, he sounds so crazy ahaha.
– Sugita asks Imai about her siblings and she says she has an elder brother that she’s always trying for his attention, but he’s all cold to her :O Isomura says she’s a single child.
– When deciding who to pick out the writing order for the four of them first for the Ao no Chikara corner, Imai says “[Whoever think’s they’re]The cutest person here can pick first!” the three girls then hesitate a bit before Sugita goes “Yeah I’ll pick first!”
– Imai announces that Tsubaki will have a song for Continuum Shift II :O
Adding Isocchi into BluRaji is always great. The way Sugita and Isocchi bounces their thoughts and references off each other is happiness :D

Host: Okubo Rumi
Date: 2010.10.14
A&G+’s new radio show hosted by rookie seiyuu Okubo Rumi. Ehhh couldn’t they have used a more “THIS IS [seiyuu]’S SHOW” kinda name? Naming them “Lady Go!! (Day)” is so lame lol.
– Rumi’s voice is really similar to Taketatsu Ayana’s in my opinion :O
– Seems like she was really nervous last episode, this is her first radio show after all, but she seems more composed this time. She’s still pretty nervous though heh.
– Apparently Mikami Shiori(Wednesday’s host) was Rumi’s senpai at her seiyuu school.
– She makes fun of her smile in her Lady Go!! picture, mentioning how nervous she was, it being her first photo shoot event and all, and her smile turned out like that heh. I thought her normal smile was prettier than the photo’s when I saw it too =3
– For her Rumi Colle corner, where listeners send in “Girly things to do” for her to deem if it’s good enough to add to her “Collection” of girly things, as well as acting it out. Today’s theme was “fiddling with their hair”. Rumi then has to act out a situation in which the theme would be used in. She then starts pretending to ask for advice for what kind of hairstyle would look good with her while playing with her hair. <3 She looked so embarrassed while doing it and especially after she was done ahaha.
– Rumi forgot the “y” in “lady” for a little game where she had to shuffle some letters around to write the show’s email address “rumi.lady@joqr.com” ahahaha what a spot to miss a letter, also, it’s her show’s email address!
The show is actually pretty amusing, I’ll probably keep an eye on it as it continues. It did feel really short though, I’d say it was about 25 minutes all up minus the songs played during the show.
But Rumirumi is really cute =3

Hosts: Sugita Tomokazu, Imai Asami, Kondou Kanako
Date: 2010.10.07
The three of them announced that they had a heap of guests coming on to the show later on. >_>
– The three of them are looking at an illustration of Makoto looking depressed since she’s being avoided by Noel and Tsubaki in the summer due to them talking about how they’d love to curl up with her tail in winter since it’d warm them up. Imai then says “Don’t worry Makoto… Your bare skin can cool us down~” Lol Imai <3.
– Turns out the guests are Bang’s minion, Nu, and Yarukaka…. Voiced by Sugita Tomokazu, Kondou Kanako and Imai Asami respectively OTL. I knew this was coming ahahah.
– Sugita forces Kanako to read a listener’s name called “Big, fat and loong fish sausage” lol. I call that sexual harassment!
– The theme for the art corner was “Something that would be in Ragna’s room”.
Imai drew a photo of Jin saying “I want to believe in the love between these two” …lol
Kanako drew a Jubei dakimakura
Sugita drew a… Kangaroo lol. With Ragna’s room being the pouch.
– Jin dakimakura announced on the show. Ahaha. OTL
– They celebrated Sugita’s birthday as a surprise on the show \o/ Incidentally Mori P(Toshimichi Mori, producer of Blazblue) had his birthday near as well so they called him in to celebrate as well.
– When Sugita and Mori P were about to blow out the candles Imai did the same thing she did with KitaEri… Ninja’d the candles ahahah
I’m loving Mingosu more every time I hear her <3.
It’s been a while since BluRaji has had no guests but it’s still as fun as ever :D
Also, happy 30th birthday Sugita! \o/ …Though really, his birthday’s on the 11th so there’s a couple more days to go lol
