Hosts: Toyosaki Aki, Kitamura Eri
Date: 2009.10.24
Final episode of Kanamemo Radio. Only 8 episodes? D:
There was quite a bit of yuriyuri material between Aki and KitaEri this episode; they joked about having a marriage ceremony on the show =3.
– Aki’s been accumulating Batsu Game points and she has to face the batsu game in this episode lol. She has to pull out a batsu game from a set of options. Some of them are really… Well I can’t see them happening lol.
e.g. Don’t talk on the radio; Add Kana’s signature line “Daijou’V'” to the end of her sentences; etc. lol. In the end Aki picked out the batsu game thought up by KitaEri, http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm10796349. Watch this snippet to hear what it is lol.
– KitaEri’s impression of Mizuhara Kaoru’s character voice is really spot on. Really. :O
– Lol @ KitaEri yelling out “Love your life!”.
– They start playing sugoroku, (pretty much a board game like thing where you roll a dice, move your character forward and the square it lands on has instructions for what they have to do written on it.
– KitaEri gets “Confess your love” She asks for some echo and does it to Aki lol <3. 百合百合!
– KitaEri lands on “Tell a scary story” and while she’s saying it, someone’s phone rings in the background again lol. That can’t be a coincidence… Right? D:. Incidentally, KitaEri lands on the same thing next turn lol. Aki then lands on it on her turn as well.
– KitaEri gets the same batsu game Aki had to do at the start of the episode, except she sings a far smaller portion of the song. Pretty much all she does is go “BUAHHHHH” ahahha.
– KitaEri won the game and reached the goal first. Apparently she’ll be rewarded later outside the show.
Aki and KitaEri seem like really good friends, Aki in particular gets really relaxed and lets down her guard around her :D.
They mess around alot so there are many times during the radio when their conversations just dissolve into them making sound effects lol.
They’ve mentioned that they got to know each other well during Minami-ke’s recordings a couple of times and I do recall Aki talking about KitaEri from time to time in her own ChoRaji! Girls days a while back so it’s not really news though I guess.

Host: Hirohashi Ryou
Guest: Fujita Saki
Date: 2010.09.03
Radio for WORKING!! hosted by Hirohashi Ryou(Yamada) and a different guest from the show every week or so. By the way, the name comes from “Yamada + Working!! = YamaKing!!”. I still see Mountain King, or Yamada King but whatever.
– Saki starts off with a Miku impression lol, saying “I’m actually not human, I’m a robot” in Miku mode :D
– Saki mentions that she couldn’t stop laughing while she listened to the drama CD for Working!! Hmm I think I’ll go grab it now…. :D
– Hirohashi notes that though she has a good memory for some small things, she’s terrible at remembering things when it counts. She mentions that she couldn’t ever remember her underclassmen’s faces and names, to which Saki tells her off for lol.
– They talk a bit about the Working!! event a couple of months back, sounded fun :D, though they said they couldn’t remember it too well now since it was a few months ago.
– Hirohashi: “You three [who were singing the OP: Kitamura Eri, Asumi Kana, Fujita Saki] were great, you should just form a unit!”
– Hirohashi remembers the onsen episode in Working!! and notes that there are a lot of onsen episodes in various anime lol. She then hints at the fanservice reason behind it ahaha.
– They start talking about how self-conscious Inami was about her flat chest, Saki then mentions that in the audio commentary for that scene, where she was with Asumi Kana, they were talking about the same thing.
Hirohashi then notes that although Poplar’s small, she has a large chest lol.
Hirohashi: Poplar’s small, height wise, I mean but… She’s got a… “Properly” developed chest.
Saki: Rather than properly developed, I’d say it’s enviously big.
It’s funny to hear these things from the seiyuu themself heh.
– When talking about their past part time jobs they’ve done, Saki says she worked at a gym while she was at Uni. She continued to work there throughout the years she was in Uni.
– Listener sends in a mail where a lady in a rental video shop on occasion exclaims to her self “What a terrible name…” while filing AV videos. Hirohashi replies by saying “Ah I think I know that feeling… They might as well put a better name for them!” lol. Well yeah, there are some terrible names out there for AV movies aren’t there lawl. Also the two of them were treading around this mail pretty lightly haha.
YAMAKING!! still continues to this day, with Kitamura Eri guesting on the latest episode, and Hikasa Youko on the previous episode, it seems pretty popular as well. Hirohashi is a fun radio host :)

Hosts: Sugita Tomokazu, Imai Asami, Kondou Kanako
Guest: Ueda Kana
Date: 2010.09.09
Lol was that Mingosu and Sugita flirting at the start? :O
– Imai complains that Makoto’s moves were flashier than Tsubaki’s. Were they? I thought Tsubaki’s were pretty flashy already?
– Kana comments that Rachel seems a bit kinder compared to the first BlazBlue.
– Kana complains about the narration work for the training mode, reading out all the terms and how many words there actually were lol. She tries to push it onto Imai if theres a next time, but she refuses hah.
– Sugita tells Kanako to say something kinda ero in the mood of Noel’s dakimakura lol. Oi Sugita isn’t that sexual harassment? lool
Sugita mentions Nakamura three separate times this episode lol.

Host: Mizuki Nana
Guest: Tamura Yukari
Date: 2008.08.07
Nana’s normal partner Fukuen Misato is absent due to her throat not feeling well so Nana calls in Tamura Yukari! \o/ Yukari had guested a couple times over the years so she’s not much of a stranger to Smile Gang, though she did laugh at how scattered the show was from time to time. Nana x Yukarin radio is rare~ <3
– Nana asks Misato if she goes back to her hometown for Obon, and Yukari answers pretending to be Misato.
Nana: “You’re not Misato are you?”
Yukari: “That’s not true! I am Misato!”
Nana: “But Misato’s voice isn’t that high…”
Yukari: *Lowers her voice really far* “I’m Misato”
– Nana messaged Yukari the night before, while she was eating, with a really frank mail commanding her to come in lol.
– They start off by picking on each other’s home town, started by Nana pointing out Ehime’s good points compared to Fukuoka. Nana~ You shouldn’t pick a fight you can’t win~ lol. Ehime/Niihama is kinda removed compared to Fukuoka lol.
Yukari: “Well for starters, no one knows where Ehime is!”
Nana: “Ehime is right next to Fukuoka!”
– Yukari comments that Nana rode on a boat on her DVD and quoted her saying “Ah look at all those fish!” Nana gets embarrassed that Yukari watched her DVD lol.
– Nana talks about a time recently when she went into a beauty salon and was having a friendly conversation with a 20 year old man there, but when she mentioned she was 28 years old he goes “…Huh?” and starts getting really distant. Her finishing comment was “28 years old is still young! *in tears*” ahaha. Even now Nana looks 18 years old lool. Same goes to Yukari >_>.
– Yukari comments that Nana seems really energetic, more than usual, and while flustered, Nana explains it by saying that after all these years of doing Smile Gang this is the first time without Misato and that she’s on her own with Yukari. Yukari then says “Nana’s cuter than normal today!” to which Nana pauses and then goes all dere dere lol. Nanoha x Fate? Hah.
– A listener sends in a mail talking about his girlfriend liking the smell of cow manure even though it stinks and asks if the two of them were the same. Nana and Yukari unanimously agreed that cow manure is out, but Nana mentions that she likes the musty smell of an A/C when it hasn’t been used in a while. Yukari then says “Eww thats creepy… … Ehime’s pretty strange~” to Nana’s despair lol.
– Nana asks Yukari to talk about her new single at the time, Bambino Bambina, Yukari then says she has no idea what to say at these times. Nana notes that during events, whenever they’re asked to talk about the series Yukari always pushes it onto Nana lol. Yeah I’ve noticed that as well~
Yukari then forgets the release date and gets it wrong lol.
– Another listener sends in a mail about his girlfriend, to which Yukari responds “Huh.. Everyone listening to this radio seems to have a girlfriend… It’s a real girlfriend right?” Nana laughs and becomes flustered, trying to say that they exist, though unsure of what exactly to say, but continues laughing ahahaha. Yukari then goes on to say “I’m pretty sure the listeners in my radio who have a girlfriend are just pretending they do” LOL Yukarin~! This is why we love you~ <3
Yukari hasn’t guested on Smile Gang ever since this episode unfortunately :( I love listening to these two but I haven’t heard them recently. They seem really close so it’s fun to join the Nana x Yukarin/NanoFate bandwagon every now and again~ Lol.

Kotobuki Minako’s Shiny+ debuts at #9 on Oricon’s daily charts. Congrats to her, especially without a tie in :O.
Interestingly enough, I don’t think any of the Sphere girls has ever gone above #9 in Oricon’s daily rankings for their solo work, though they’ve hit #9 many times. The streak continues? Heh.

Host: Akesaka Satomi
Guest: Koyama Tsuyoshi
Date: 2010.09.02
Tsuyoshi guesting on Akesaka Satomi’s radio, which I’m really surprised at lol. Tsuyoshi says he was told beforehand by the staff of the show to try and go light with the dirty stuff lol. Well we all know how that’s gonna turn out don’t we OTL.
– Tsuyoshi from the start tries to get Satomi to say “chin chin” cutely ahaha. She looks troubled and says “The agency won’t let meeee” that’s sexual harassment Tsuyoshi!
– They talk about when they first met, and he noted that when he introduced himself to her she seemed terrified of him lol. She comments that he looked scary with his sunglasses and how his body looked hah. Tsuyoshi then thought “Oh with this reaction, she’ll probably never talk to me again.”
– LOL Tsuyoshi almost says “Manko-chan” instead of “Mako-chan” to Satomi’s horror ahaha.
– Tsuyoshi: “Well you know, you’ll be making children in the future and stuff…” Satomi’s so cute when she’s getting harrassed by Tsuyoshi though lawl
– Tsuyoshi says that Satomi has absolutely no sex appeal OTL
– Tsuyoshi starts taking off his clothes lol, he says full naked is out so he’ll go half naked OTL.
– He then sticks a picture of Satomi on both his nipples, to her absolute terror ahahahha
Satomi: “I’ve been dirtied…. I’ve been dirtied by Tsuyoshi…”
– She begs him to take it off, but he then half takes it off exposing his nipple lawwl. When he finally removes it he yells in pain from pulling the sticker off ahaha.
– She quickly closes the show and tells him to go home after this point ahaha.
– When Tsuyoshi leaves, Satomi comments that he’s still outside the window, and then despairs that her manager didn’t stop him and instead started laughing when it all started ahaha.
Poor Satomi, she seemed like she was really suffering throughout the show at times ahaha. Well the two of them aren’t exactly strangers to each other and have met often, even outside work. She got really cute during the harrassment though lol. >:D

Hosts: Asumi Kana, Toyosaki Aki
Date: 2009.07.30
Radio show for Which Witch, which appears to be some kind of collectible/trading card game..? If you’re confused to why it has a radio show, well it looks like they’re selling character songs based on characters from the game.
Well yeah, something like that. Hah. I’m just happy to hear Aki and Asumi on radio lawl.
– The two of them note that although they’ve talked with one another often, this might be the first time they’ve spoken to each other without anyone else present.
– Aki calls Asumi “Asumi-san” :(
– Aki keeps whacking the microphone lol.
– They play Asumi’s character song on the show, it’s not bad really :O Also it makes me think again that she really sounds like Nanjou Yoshino lol.
– Aki says that her middle school had a specific rule for “No Kancho’ing” lol… The funny thing is that the rule came around because a boy broke his finger while doing it ahahaha.
They ended the radio with Pachelbal’s Canon in the BGM, to their surprise “Are we graduating??” Aki then realises that Asumi’s character (Hanon) sounds like “Canon” and rejoices lol.
Why is Canon playing at the end anyway?

Hosts: Sugita Tomokazu, SP Tanaka
Guests: Umino Chika (+ Nakamura Yuuichi as a surprise later on)
Date: 2010.08.26
Guest on this week’s Dedooon is Umino Chika, Honey and Clover’s mangaka. Interestingly enough Kamiya was also there, though not as a guest. He came into the studio but didn’t talk much, probably something to do with pay and other business related things, he came along just to play after all :)
– Sugita says Gatou Shouji (Full Metal Panic’s writer) has one of the coolest voices out of the other creators he’s heard.
– Kamiya starts talking more when the video game playing corner comes on. He goes back to silent after it ends though.
– Sugita asks Umino to draw AGRS there. :O
Incidentally, this was what she drew:
– Nakamura Yuuichi comes in as a surprise guest 40 minutes into the show to celebrate Umino’s birthday! :D
– The three of them sing a really low song for her, it wasn’t happy birthday too lol.
– Umino sounded really happy, how wonderful <3.
Nakamura had work right before coming so he had to come late, it’s nice he arrived as early as he could though.
Also, if anyone was curious, the name of this radio comes from a merge of “Anime, Game, Radio” for “Anigera” and “Dedooon” is just the sound effect for an explosion.

Hosts: Kadowaki Mai, Kitamura Eri, Shindou Kei
Guests: Sugita Tomokazu, Majima Junji
Date: 2009.07.24
Radio hosted by Kadowaki Mai (Mimi), Kitamura Eri (Kokonoe), Shindou Kei (Kuro). This episode’s guests are Majima Junji (Aoki Daisuke) and Sugita Tomokazu (Reiji).
– Sugita says he would prefer to play card games with Nakamura than to go out on a date with a girl lol.
– When a listener asks who would know the most about BL, they all point at Sugita, which he agrees saying “Well I do appear in BL media after all” He notes that the amount of BL work he’s been doing has been decreasing lately though :O
– Sugita: “You look forward to rain for sports days not because they get cancelled, but because the girl’s gym clothes get wet!” ahaha
– Sugita’s greeting to each of the three female seiyuu were:
KitaEri: “Ah the Blood+ Girl”
Shindou Kei: “That was a wonderful greeting ojou-sama”(Gundam 00’s Wang Liu Mei)
Maita’s one was censored lol.
– They do a skit on the show and Sugita’s role is the sound effects lol. Why is he making sucking and slurping noises in a romantic Kokonoe X Aoki scene?? lawl
– When Aoki calls Kokonoe “Baka” KitaEri goes into M mode and says “I love it when you call me baka” and starts laughing hysterically lol.
It’s rare to see a radio combination like this. Sugita mentions that he was unsure of how the show would turn out before he guested, but he had fun in the end so it’s all good. Fun to listen to. There were also a lot of BL fun between Sugita and Majima ahaha. OTL

Hosts: Gotou Yuuko, Ogihara Hideki
Guests: Sugita Tomokazu ( + Nishimata Aoi, who comes in later)
Date: 2008.04.15
Radio hosted by Gotou Yuuko and Ogihara Hideki. I wrote something about the history of the show and how long it’s been going for but Soup ate it up so I can’t be bothered to rewrite it. Apparently scrolling too far down the page gets rid of whatever you had up at the top. /rage
Basically, it’s a radio show that’s been airing since 2005.07.18 and it continues to this date. Oh and Ogihara Hideki voiced Rin’s friend Midoriba Itsuki in SHUFFLE!
The episode has them talking mostly about SHUFFLE!
– Sugita’s mum loves watching bishoujo anime lol, and really enjoyed SHUFFLE! hah. Sugita mentions that when she saw Kaede going all yandere she was all like “Whoa what happened to her??” Gotou then apologises to Sugita’s mom lol.
– They talk about how scary Kaede got, in particular her eyes. Gotou apologises lol.
– Gotou asks Nishimata what was her first impression of Sugita, and she replies “Err well.. He’s a wonderful person” What a stock standard reply lol.
They ask Sugita if he wants to come again next week on the show, and they pretty much organise it on air lol, that’s kinda rare, they often tell the guest to come again but it’s mostly decided before or after they’ve done airing the show.
