The two of them comment how long they went on for last episode. Judging by their conversations I’d have to guess that it went on for over 1 hour 30 minutes lol. QwaRaji was originally supposed to be a 30 minute radio as well I think. Haha. Aki says she listened to the radio at home and laughed at how long their pre-guest talk lasted, saying they should try and hurry it up.
– Aki tells Hikasa that she’ll give her chocolates for Valentines day :D. Hikasa thanks her… And then says she’ll give her a sweet she has just on hand right there.
Aki: “Ehh what? You just happened to have that on you, you didn’t even prepare that for me… Well I love it anyways”
Hikasa: “I’ll look forward to getting something back for white day!”
Aki: “Ehh, fine I’ll get you something for white day then…”
– A listener sends in a mail asking what the two of them did during their schooldays at lunchtime.
Hikasa: “Well.. Even though I’m like this now… Back then I was a pretty dark and quiet person… I shut myself up in the library”
Aki: “What, wait a moment, no way!”
*Two of them laughs*
Hikasa: “It’s true! I was the on Library executive committee!”
Aki: “No way!! I thought you’d be in the cheering committee or something!”
Hikasa: “I ate my lunch in the library.”
Aki: “What’d you do there?”
Hikasa: “Well, read books. Borrow books. That’s pretty much how my lunch breaks went”
Apparently Hikasa was pretty crazy before high school as a kid during elementary school though.
– What about Aki?
Aki: “Well even though I said all that… During lunch breaks I stayed by myself and listened to my walkman”
Hikasa: “We’re pretty depressing aren’t we” *They both laugh* “This is sad!”
Amusingly enough the listener had sent in the mail asking for advice on how to socialise with the people around him more during lunchtime breaks. They laugh that they probably didn’t help him with that haha.
I love you both Hikasa and Akkyo~! <3
– Aki says she absolutely hates the taste of mustard. Hikasa in turn says she hates wasabi.
– A listener asks about what they think the character’s Souma would taste like. Lol is that sexual harassment? OTL. He then suggests that they could release an energy drink labeled as a character’s Souma and Aki says she thinks she had this conversation during one of the recordings with other seiyuu lol. She says she’d love to do a character advertisement for it ahaha.
– What would the character’s Souma taste like?
Aki: “Tomo’s would taste like… Mammy! (A fruit juice drink)”
Hikasa: “That’s really really sweet!” (considering Souma is supposed to be breast milk lol)
…
Hikasa: “What about Hana?”
Aki: “Er… Welll… Dr Pepper?”
Hikasa: “Wait what? Why?! That would be really shocking”
Aki: “Well you know how her character has like orange hair and all…”
Hikasa: “Yeah…”
Aki: “It just seems like… Pepper.”
Hikasa: “Hahaha what?!”
– They mention that they’re 30 minutes over at the 30 minute mark meaning that this episode has also been cut in half.
I’ve been thinking this for a while, with the way they play around with the ero aspects of the anime perhaps the girls actually love doing perverted anime ahaha.

Guest: Chihara Minori
Date: 2010.02.05
The two of them comment that they’ve been meeting up really often in recordings. They also say that they can just talk and talk and talk and never stop lol. It’s nice to see them get along so well :D
– Apparently they’ve been catching the anime as it airs at the late hours of the night lol.
– Aki had a boy she liked in kindergarten and made chocolates with her mum to give to him on Valentines day, and after making it and bringing it, she never mustered the courage to give it to him during the day, then when the end of the day had come, she was waiting at the school gate and saw him pass through. She panicked and thought “This is my last chance to give it to him” and threw the chocolate at him ahaha.
Aki: “And that’s how my first love went.”
Hikasa: “What kind of tsundere girl kind of action is that??”
– The first thing Minori says is “Wow what an interesting radio this is!” she had come in 17 minutes into the recording so I guess she was listening for the whole time while the two of them went crazy haha.
Aki: “Ah thanks. Hearing that from Minorin-san makes me really happy *creepy laugh* heheheheheheh—”
Aki + Hikasa(joins in): “—Hehehehehehetehepero!”
Lol these two are so in sync.
– Minori comments that Aki’s hairstyle is more mature now, compared to before, which I’m guessing that she’s referring to when they had worked together on Minami-ke.
– Hikasa(reading from Minori’s profile): “The animal Minori is most similar to is a cat”
Aki: “Cat ears would fit her! <3”
Minori: *giggles*
– Talking about Minori’s character, the first thing Minori says:
Minori: “She gives out Souma!”
*pause*
*The three of them break out laughing*
Ahaha they really love the whole Souma thing don’t they~
– The two of them ask Minori about her upcoming album, “Sing All Love” to her surprise. She asked to make sure if it was alright to talk about her own solo singing stuff on the radio heh.
– Aki praises Minori’s singing, and says that when she found out she would be singing the ending with her, Hikasa, Hirano and Ayumi she was really relieved, knowing that it would surely turn out alright. I love how free Aki is with her fangirling and love~ <3
– Minorin was only on for 10 minutes or so out of the 50 minute recording :(
– At the 30 minute part they comment that they’ve been talking for over one hour already. Wow just what did they cut out to halve the recording? It looks like it might’ve been a majority of Minori’s guesting time. Perhaps the Souma talk was just the tip of the iceberg of how much ero talk they did ahaha.
– The radio had been airing fortnightly before this point and switches to a weekly broadcast after this episode.
– Aki was talking about how Minori had left after bowing and thanking everyone for their work and closed the studio door behind her… But then the door soon opened again and she came in to pick up her bag since she forgot to bring it along ahaha. Aki loved how cute that was <3
Everytime I listen to QwaRaji after having not heard it for a while, the amount of craziness and yelling/screaming these two do always overwhelms me ahaha. It’s so great <3

Guest: Faylan
Date: 2010.01.22
Once again the script has them referring to each other has Toyohiko and Geru lol. Aki seems really excited to have Faylan as a guest :D
– Hikasa kept stuffing up the reading of the latest episode of Seikon’s summary and the staff kept putting batsu noises in whenever she did it, putting her off even more so lol.
– Aki screams and confesses to her right off the bat when Faylan comes on ahaha
– Faylan: “This radio seems really fun and lively!”
Aki + Hikasa: “Huh?”
Faylan: “It seems really fun!”
Aki: “:O I’m making that my ringtone!”
– Aki lays the love on her really thickly to which she’s really happy to hear ahaha.
Faylan: “I’m just a rookie singer so I’m really glad to hear it!”
– Aki: “I’ve bookmarked her site! ….Am I creeping you out?”
– Looks like Faylan’s seen Seikon lol, her favourite character is Tomo. Lol I’m amused she’s seen Seikon.
– Aki comments that Faylan smells nice ahaha. Aki you’re definitely skirting the creepy boundary there.
– Aki: “Did you enjoy your time on the show?”
Faylan: “I really enjoyed myself! I was energised by the two of you’s youth! I received a lot of Souma* from you two.”
Aki + Hikasa: “Yeah! Souma!! Suck it from us..!! …Ahh… errr welll ehh..(mumble)(mumble)”
Aki: “If we keep going this might turn in to sexual harassment so I’m going to stop us here.”
Faylan: “Yeah lets stop here.”
(*For those who know next to nothing about Seikon, Souma is breast milk sucked from girls to provide power for character’s abilities)
– Aki: “Say someone you’d like to come on as a guest”
Hikasa: “…Er… Hirano Aya”
Aki: ?
Hikasa: “Because she’s really cute”
Aki: “Yeah she is really really really cute”
Hikasa: “Also Sasha’s seiyuu Sanpei Yuko”
– Once Faylan leaves, Aki says that she’s glad she stopped the souma thing with Faylan there, she was just about to burst out with the comment “But Faylan’s souma is so much better!” and said she would have definitely have regretted it afterwards ahaha.
– Chihara Minori as guest on next week’s episode!!!!!
I haven’t heard Akkyo in a while. I need to remedy this.

This radio has been airing weekly since April 2009, what’s surprising about it is that the radio show goes on for 3 hours from 5PM to 8PM, with each hour separated into “Terms” meaning Term 3 is the third hour of the show at 7PM to 8PM. The show gets plenty of different types of guests varying from singers like Shimokawa Mikuni to seiyuu (such as Nakahara Mai, Nakajima Megumi, Nonaka Ai; seems to be a quite a variation in the seiyuu they get, but I don’t think they’ve had many, if any, male seiyuu come on), though each of them only stay for an hour. I can’t imagine how tiring it would be to host a talk show for over three hours OTL. I think there have been only two guests who’ve stayed for the whole three hours, Taketatsu Ayana and Yahagi Sayuri.
– Question to Aki:
What song do you often sing seriously at Karaoke?
Aki: “‘Don’t say lazy’ maybe?*smirk*”
Hikasa: “OI!! Are you making fun of me?!?”
– Aki says she loves going to karaoke on her own and putting in her own songs or K-ON songs for practice to lift her mood and energise herself, such as before events and stuff. Hikasa agrees that she loves doing that too. Oogame doesn’t seem to like the idea of going to karaoke alone though lol.
– Talking about scribbling and doodling.
Hikasa: “Aki seems like the type of person who loves doodling.”
Aki: “Yeah, I do doodle a lot, I’ve scribbled your face plenty of times~”
Hikasa: “Ehhh Stop doing that”
– Hikasa and Oogame mentions that they went to the Sphere concert around this time :D
– Hikasa compliments Aki on her singing and she gets embarrassed, in turn making Hikasa embarrassed as well and it becomes pretty raburabu <3.
– Aki says that the art for the cover and booklet in “Love Your Life” was drawn by her. Well even if I write it here, I guess it’s public knowledge especially since she’s credited as the illustrator on the jacket.
Aki was promoting her new single ‘Love Your Life’ which was released 3 days prior to the show. This episode aired about 1 month before QuaRaji aired. Also if anyone keeps track of my Soup, this is the episode I mentioned that, after Aki left, they had Hikasa do a certain batsu game involving a convenience store and the purchase of a few “other items” lolol. OTL

The staff has it written on the radio opening script to introduce themselves as their middle school nicknames they spoke about last episode, Toyohiko and Geru for Aki and Hikasa respectively lol.
The anime series is about to begin airing on television.
– Hikasa laments that, being 24 years old, she’s gonna have to be the one giving out the end of year gifts rather than recieving them. Aki still recieved some this year :D.
– Talking about how they spend the New Years.
Aki: “How do you spend your New Years? Do you relax or are you active?”
Hikasa: “I laze around! I stay inside the kotatsu and never come out!”
Aki: “Same here!”
…
Hikasa: “I hear some people go overseas, or Okinawa or something like that”
Aki: “Ah that sounds great…”
Hikasa: “Yeah what the hell, overseas!? Going overseas?!”
Sorry Hikasa, I used to go overseas at the end of the year too OTL
– A listener sends in a mail talking about him loving how in sync the two of them are, to which they break into a fit of giggles lol.
– Hikasa talks about when she attended her first audition, she was really nervous and when it was her turn to stand at the microphone she had brought her pen in one hand along with the script in the other. While she was all hyped up and had her turn at the microphone, subconsciously she was clicking the pen in her hand over and over throughout the recording without realising, and then the staff told her “Umm sorry, but could you stop clicking the pen”, to her embarrassment lol. Ah that’s so cute Hiyochhi~ <3
Incidentally she passed that audition lol \o/
– At the end of the show the two of them were surprised that they’ve been talking for about an hour <3
The staff add sound effects such as correct/incorrect SEs and halt the BGM as well as adding echoes among other things while the show is being recorded and the two of them can hear the effect, which is not totally uncommon but still pretty interesting particularly when they react to the sound effects, bgm changes and especially when the staff adds echo when the two aren’t expecting it lol.

Hikasa’s so crazy, I’ve been loving her work so much recently :D
– Aki first found out about her co-hosting the radio with Hikasa when her manager told her “I’ve got news you’d be happy to hear” and she was overjoyed to find it out, saying she was dancing in happiness :D
– Hikasa found out when Aki told her, while smirking the whole time like she couldn’t wait to let her know. Apparently she didn’t find out from her manager first because he wanted to surprise her with the news lol.
– Aki was overflowing with compliments for Faylan again this episode :D
– Hikasa mispronounces the ED “Passionate Squall” as “Hassionail(Hasshioneiru?) Squall” ahahah
– When Hikasa asks how Aki’s feeling about the radio show, Aki say’s “It’s… Tiring, in a good way” Well the two of them are screaming and getting so carried away during the show so I’m not surprised.
Also I didn’t mention it last time, but the radio aired fortnightly till it’s end on it’s 21st episode in mid June, right about when the final episode of the anime had aired. The show has only had two seiyuu guests on the show, actually probably three since Yousei Teikoku’s vocalist is Itsuki Yui. Other than Yousei Teikoku and Faylan, Kawasumi Ayako and Chihara Minori has come on the show(<3). Also, I love the staff for gathering these two for the radio on their own accord :D

“Seikon no Qwaser Radio! St. Mikhailov Academy’s Broadcasting Club” abbreviated as “QwaRaji” hosted by Yamanobe Tomo’s Toyosaki Aki and Katsuragi Hana’s Hikasa Youko. I haven’t actually seen the anime(lol). The radio started a month or so before the broadcast of the anime had begun.
– At the start Hikasa says she’s nervous, which Aki rebukes calling her a liar :D
– Aki says she’s met Faylan, the singer of Seikon’s OP, before while Hikasa hasnt. Aki described her as “A really nice person, though she’s so cool when she’s singing, when I met her in person she was so polite, she was really wonderful <3” They wonder if they could get to come guest on the show. Incidentally they eventually do get her to come on to the show on the fourth episode :D
– Hikasa comments that though she calls Aki “Akkyo”, no one else calls her Akkyo. This also applies to Aki calling Hikasa “Yocchan” though no one else calls her that, which they find amusing. They say they can’t remember when Hikasa started calling Aki “Akkyo” nor why, but they remember Aki calling her Yoko-chan until switching to Yocchan when they became closer friends.
– During Middle school Hikasa’s nickname was “Geru” lol, upon hearing this Aki asks “…This was a nickname given to you by ‘friends’ right?” Ahah
– When talking about similarities between them and their characters, they agree that both Aki and her character Tomo loves to hum a lot.
– I loved how the two of them danced around the ero aspect of the anime :D
Aki: “The anime is a little ero” ; Yeah I wouldn’t say a little D:
…
Aki: “Everyone should watch the anime, and see all the impactful scenes, the ones I’m sure that will leave a mark in your heart and mind!”
Hikasa: “Yeah, for all you adults only though!”
Aki has implied it before on her Okaeri Radio, but Hikasa seems to be her closest friend in the seiyuu world and she’s really relaxed here, both of them spiral out of control on this radio and it makes for a really fun listen :D

Radio for the anime series “Ichiban Ushiro Daimaou”. The name is a mesh of puns, firstly “Ichiban Ushiro” is straight from the anime itself, “Mugendai” means infinity, and is probably a reference to the OP, REALOVE:REALIFE’s lyrics, while “RajiOu” is a merge of “Radio + Ou(king)” combining them all to get “DaiRajiOu”. Yeah it’s still complicated but whatever.
The show is hosted by Soga Keena’s Toyosaki Aki, Korone’s Yuuki Aoi and Hattori Junko’s Hikasa Youko and airs fortnightly for only 8 episodes. The final four episodes all have different guests coming on to the show, starting with Itou Shizuka then to Kondou Takeshi –> Takahashi Chiaki and ending with Hirohashi Ryou.
– Aoi had brought a home baked cake to the anime recording for everyone to eat, seems like during valentines she brought chocolates for everyone as well :O How wonderful <3
– Aki tells Aoi that if Hikasa and Aki are getting too carried away that she’s free to tell them to shut up lol.
– A listener asks if they’ve taken the very back seat in school before, Aoi says she hasn’t saying that whenever she wanted to, the teacher wouldn’t let her because she was too short lol. Aoi is about 145 cm if I recall correctly. Now that I think about it, the height difference between her and Aki is about 25 cm lol.
Aoi: “The teacher said I wouldn’t be able to see from back there but I argued with him saying ‘I’ll do my best to grow!'”
Hikasa + Aki: “What? Grow??”
Aoi: “You know how when people are put in a tough situation they’ll do their best to overcome it!”
Lol Aoi, I don’t think it works quite that way =P
– Aki took the back seat quite often, even though it was decided by lottery :O
– Aoi says that she’s the same height as her mum and wears similar everyday clothes to her so from behind people can’t tell which is which lol.
– Aki says that recently she’s been getting up early and cooking a really traditional japanese breakfast every morning for herself, to which Hikasa says “Oh! :O I want to make you my wife. Number one cohort for being my wife!”
– The staff brought in rice due to Aki’s character’s love of rice, to Hikasa(false?) and Aki’s delight, Hikasa then gives up on the charade and says ” What in the world’s up with this radio? You’re giving us rice out of nowhere?!” Ahaha.
– Aki starts eating the rice lol, and she does a cooking style type reaction to the wonderfulness of the rice OTL
Aki: “I feel like dancing! No! The rice is dancing inside my mouth!”
Apparently the other two weren’t allowed to eat the rice, to their disappointment.
– Aoi comments that Korone says a lot of complicated words in her jokes that she doesn’t understand, and she wants to look them up in the dictionary. For those who haven’t seen the anime, these “complicated words” are perverted terms and colloquialisms lol. Aki and Hikasa tells Aoi not to look them up, for her own good lol, saying that they need to protect her from this stuff ahaha.
Aki seemed like she genuinely enjoyed eating the rice alone lol.

Date: 2010.11.05
Aki comments that she looked up trackbacks to her blogpost about last week’s birthday episode with Hikasa Youko and was happy that everyone loved it.
– Aki says she’s been obsessing over the drama “Koi no Chikara” recently (http://www.jdorama.com/drama_674.htm)
– Aki says she’d love to have Hikasa come on for a special event again, she also mentions that doing another video recording could happen for an event.
– When talking about Hikasa Aki says that although she’s funny and people say she’s like an entertainer/comedian, she’s actually a pretty shy person.
– After the show had ended last week, Aki messaged Hikasa thanking her for coming and Hikasa replied back worried that she might have done something bad to her show lol.
– Aki uses the word “GekiMoessu!” to describe Tomatsu Haruka and her Baby Baby Love PV. Gekimoessu means “intense” + moe, I’m just amused that Aki uses moe so naturally in her speech :D
– Aki loves time travelling stories, she says that she’s weak to anything with that theme.
– Aki calls Haruka on radio! \o/ The time would be about 11:00 PM and you can tell Haruka’s a bit tired/sleepy lol.
– Haruka calls Aki her wife <3
– Haruka and Aki comment that they haven’t seen many dramas till the end, reasoning that it’s due to the irregular seiyuu work hours.
– Apparently Haruka loves watching emotional and tragic shows.
What is this? It’s just a big list of “Aki says”…
…I’m just gonna pretend that it’s because I dislike solo radios, and not because I couldn’t think of any other way to note down the radio.
Yeah, something like that.

Aki’s famous(?) birthday episode from Okaeri Radio, with it’s surprise guest, Hikasa Youko. The two of them have worked in many radio shows together, starting with K-ON’s two separate seasons of RajiON, then to Seikon no Qwaser’s radio and then again to Ichiban Ushiro Daimou’s with Yuuki Aoi. In short, these two are particularly close even more so since they’ve had many chances to sit down and talk on radio. Incidentally, the two of them refer to each other as Akkyo and Yossan/Yocchan lol.
– At first Aki thinks Hikasa’s just sent in a prerecorded video message… But then she say’s she’s coming, she runs out of the room and appears in the studio to Aki’s shock lol. Actually It might be a prerecorded message regardless, Hikasa comes in wearing something different.
– The first thing Aki says is “Huh? Wait, how about her pay??” Lol, it appears that Hikasa’s doing it for free though, how wonderful <3
– Hikasa said that she originally planned to just send in a video message, but decided that she’ll just come guest.
– Aki says she’s been working all day with Sphere’s Budokan live and she was given a cake for her birthday during work. Ayahi had said to her “I’m glad to have met you on the day to celebrate your birthday!”
– Aki[‘s staff] gives Hikasa a copy of Dill, this was on the 28th of October, about two week’s before it’s release.
– Tomatsu Haruka gave Aki a huge stuffed sheep scented with lavender for her birthday present.
– Hikasa brings out a sketch book where she’s written stuff about Aki depending on a theme she thought up herself.
First was: “This person’s really hardcore [as a gamer]” Where she found out that Aki loves to play “Senjou no Kizuna” in the arcade, a robot piloting game where the whole cockpit is built and you enter it to play.
Second was: “What did you just say?”; What Hikasa thinks was the weirdest onomatopoeia sound she’s heard Aki make, which was “zuchazuchazucha” Aki get’s embarrassed upon hearing this lol.
Third was: “What I want to thank Aki for” Hikasa wrote “Aki’s optimistic perspective”. Aki in turn said about Hikasa “How she lives life to it’s fullest in the moment”.
– Hikasa mentions that they’ve been to Disney land and Disney sea together before. :D
– Aki says she’s probably talked to Hikasa the most out of everyone in the seiyuu business, they’ve gone out to eat together on multiple occasions in their personal time and such.
– A listener sends in a mail asking Hikasa to name five things she likes about Aki; she said:
1. Warm
2. Healing
3. Cute Smile
4. When she doesn’t succeed, she picks herself up
5. Her hair is fluffy
6. I like her smile; Hikasa: “Wait I’ve said this one already” Aki: “You’ve said more than 5 already~”
– They mention that they’ve been phone calling each other a lot, even though they rarely call other people to talk :D
– Aki says that she’ll try and surprise Hikasa on her radio for her birthday, which Hikasa strongly recommends against, saying her radio’s not a place for warm birthdays lol. Yeahhh Hikasa Youko and Nakamura Eriko’s Momonoki5 is crazy. Seriously. lol OTL
Lol Hikasa’s so energetic/hyperactive, she always infects the other personalities and so the amount of screaming and flailing that goes on in her radio shows is hilarious. Speaking of which, there was a time when Hikasa and Eriko sent in a message to Onosaka Masaya and Kano Yui’s radio show talking about Itou Kanae and asked jokingly what should she do to be as popular among men as Kanae was, and he replied: “Well how about you tone down some of that energy for starters” lol.
