Hitomi Ueda (Day)
Q: Tell us why you chose this witch costume.
“I don’t know what kind of outfit the other performers will choose, but I feel like most of them look petite, so I think it would be a good balance if they choose something nice. I chose this outfit because I wanted it to be soft!“
Rena Maeda (Day)
Q: Tell us why you chose this witch costume.
“At first I hoped a cliché witch would be fine, but since they said any witch would do, I twisted it a bit and imagined a female soldier called an ice witch on the battlefield .“
Eri Yukimura (Day)
Q: If you could turn into a witch, would you want to use any magic?
“I want to perform a special move. Or is it floating magic? I always dreamed of flying in the sky!!”
Yuka Nishio (Day)
Q: Please leave a message for those who will attend the event!
“Halloween isn’t over yet even though it’s November!!! In fact, I feel this day is truly meaningful!! So let’s all enjoy Halloween.“
Satomi Amano (Night)
Q: If you could turn into a witch, would you want to use any magic?
“I want to become invisible and go to the audience before and after the event. I performed and listened to everyone’s conversations…!! Everyone, please be careful of what happens behind your back that day! (lol)“
Chiemi Tanaka (night)
Q: Please leave a message for those who will be attending the event!
“I’m looking forward to seeing what kind of event it will be! I’m sure we’ll be able to do a lot of Halloween-like things♪ I want to eat a lot of sweets (haha). Up until now I haven’t been able to do anything particularly Halloween-like so I’m really happy to be able to spend this day with everyone! Let’s have fun and have fun!!”
Rimi Nishimoto (Night)
Q: Tell me your favorite sweet and why you like it.
“Chocolate and marshmallows. Chocolate is mainly used for dessert, while marshmallows are a staple food. I wonder why I like them… I just do (haha). Well, my mother and grandmother both like chocolate, so I guess it seems we can’t resist our blood.”
Coco Hayashi (Night)
Q: Tell us why you chose this witch costume.
“When I think of witches, I think of black clothes, so I kept that color in mind when choosing! As a child, I watched “Sugar Sugar Rune” and “Kuromajo-san ga Toru!!” and admire girls called “witches” who dress in Gothic style so this time I chose a sweet black lace outfit! The bat on the sock is also a highlight.”
Seiyuu Grandprix also announced full-body images, as well as posters and keychains that will be available to both in-person and mail-order attendees. “Trick or Treat!~Halloween Party 2023~” will be held on November 12, 2023 in Misawa, Japan.
