On Sunday, September 22, 2024, from 6pm onwards, ABEMA aired the special program “28-Hour TV Night Out with Voice Actors: A Big Thanksgiving Festival, Full of Everyone’s Love!!!!!!!” (hereinafter referred to as “28-Hour TV for Voice Actors”) for 28 hours.
[Video] List of episodes of “Seiyuu 28 Hour TV”
“Seiyuu 28 Hour TV” is a special program of “Seiyuu to Yoasobi”, the industry’s first original voice actor regular program on ABEMA. In 2022, to commemorate the 5th anniversary of “Seiyuu to Yoasobi”, the first “Seiyuu 28 Hour TV” was broadcast. More than 50 voice actors and celebrities appeared, and it was a huge success, ranking second in the world and Japan trends on Twitter (now X). This year, the third time it is held, the theme was “Everyone’s love is overflowing!!!!!!!!!” and more than 55 people appeared over two days, delivering 28 hours filled with various “love”.
Narrated by Masako Nozawa, “Seiyu 28 Hour TV” began with the MCs’ passionate comments about their love for nightlife. With the “28 hours” finally about to begin, many people commented with anticipation, “We’ve been waiting for this!” and “I’m looking forward to it!” Tomokazu Seki, who came up with the idea for the program, also looked back on it with deep emotion, saying, “It’s already the third year!” When Tasuku Hatanaka revealed that they had recorded several versions of Nozawa’s narration, everyone cheered, and the MCs’ usual style exploded, livening up the start of the 28 hours.
On the first day, events included the “Quizzes Galore! Voice Actor All-Star Harvest Festival Parts 1 & 2,” as well as a special talk between Namikawa Daisuke and ROLAND, and the “Surprise! No Men Allowed! Late-night Voice Actor Pajama Party▽,” where a total of nine female voice actors, including Takahashi Chiaki, Akesaka Satomi, and Iguchi Yuka, engaged in forbidden talk.
Even after midnight, viewers continued to leave many comments about the “night play” performed by the stellar voice actors.
“Let’s talk across generations! Voice actors talk openly” features Kawashima Reiji representing the 20s, Takahashi Minami representing the 30s, Fukuyama Jun representing the 40s, Morikubo Shoutaro representing the 50s, Hidaka Noriko representing the 60s, and Mitsuya Yuji representing the 70s, and they talk about things that happen in each generation. They talk about changes in each generation, such as the evolution of recording technology from analog to digital and the diversification of voice acting work. In the midst of all this, Mitsuya has a message for today’s young voice actors.
Mitsuya spoke about the lack of communication that comes with digitalization and distributed recording, saying, “Because I don’t talk to people and I create my plays by looking at the minutes, there are times when I don’t understand the catch-and-catch of acting, and there are times when the lines are isolated.” He also said, “What I want to say to the newcomers is, don’t make your acting digital. I want your acting to be analog.” “Create your lines by moving your heart, and make use of the character you’re playing. I want it to be a place where you can think richly about what you want to include, not just about being able to speak beautifully or be on time.” Kawashima was very impressed, saying, “I’m glad I participated today.” Furthermore, Mitsuya and Hidaka also shared an anecdote from “Touch.”
The words that Mitsuya told Hidaka to draw out his emotions, and stories of Hidaka being scolded were shared, and everyone was thrilled by the behind-the-scenes stories of the hot dubbing scene, saying, “Awesome!” and “I could drink about this story.” In addition to discussing themes such as “I want to release AI voice software that uses my voice” and “I once spoke a line by myself because I wanted to play that role,” they also had a discussion on the words they would like to be said in a given situation, and in “Delivered by a dummy head microphone! Lines that will make all of me and all of me cry! Lines that make me so happy,” Mitsuya and Hidaka whispered to each other the words they would like to be said when they reach the top of the dream stage, and the studio was very excited by their dream collaboration.
“Slice it elegantly! Seriko’s Tuna Cutting Show” will be broadcast live from Tokyu Kabukicho Tower’s Shinjuku Kabuki Hall at 10:30am, in the form of a free public broadcast. With the many fans gathered to watch, Serizawa, who loves to cut fish, took on the challenge of cutting a 40kg bluefin tuna worth 300,000 yen. “I practiced with a 10kg tuna for today,” “I brought my own knife,” said Serizawa, full of energy. Perhaps as a result of her practice, the members of “Buchakke Seiyuu Houdan” in the studio were amazed at Serizawa’s appearance as she cut the tuna without hesitation, saying, “That’s amazing,” and “There’s no hesitation.” After that, with the support of a professional tuna cutter, she continued to cut it up, and successfully completed the cut. “This is the fatty tuna,” said Serizawa with a smile, which caused a huge cheer from the audience. There was also a surprise where the fans in the venue were allowed to eat it. The selected fans excitedly exclaimed, “It melts!” and “It’s so delicious!”
Afterwards, they returned to the studio and treated the cast members of “Bucchake Seiyuu Houdan” to tuna. Everyone was delighted with the freshly filleted high-quality bluefin tuna, and Morikubo pleaded, “This is the best project! Please fillet it every year!” Furthermore, senior members Mitsuya, Hidaka and others praised the tuna, saying, “It’s delicious! It melts in your mouth!” and “Bravo!” Serizawa was deeply moved. “Thank you for organizing this incredible event where senior members could eat the tuna I filleted,” she said, before lamenting and laughing, “I really wanted to meet you when it wasn’t fishy.”
ADたちの“パパ”・安元がADたちとあそぶ「安元くんと愉快な夜あそびADたち in九十九里」では、安元のお友達で料理研究家のリュウジがサプライズ登場。ビールを片手に登場し、「もう何杯も呑ませてもらっています」「まだ2杯だから大丈夫！」と話すリュウジに、安元から「逆に出てくる前になんで2杯呑んでるんだ」とツッコミが炸裂し、会場は笑いに包まれる。その後は、高級食材を使った豪華バーベキューがスタート。
前回“夜あそび”に出演した際、酔っ払ってトーストを焦がすという大失態をおかしたリュウジだが、蛤、アワビなどの食材を華麗に捌いていくリュウジに、安元は「こうやってみるとリュウジくんって料理人なんだね」と呟き、再び会場は笑いの渦に。その後はリュウジお手製の「アワビの肝バター焼き」「ホタテおたマヨ醤油」などのバーベキュー料理が完成し、安元は思わず「こりゃうまいよ。これは毒だよ」と大悶絶。そして最後は砂浜で“映え写真”を撮ることに。全員でジャンプをしようというADからの提案に「47歳だぞ！」とツッコミを返す安元だが、その後ギャルピースでジャンプをしたり、海に向かって夜あそび愛を叫んだり、“アオハル”な夏休みを楽しんでいった。
さらに午後2時からは、コスプレ好き・上坂と、プロのコスプレイヤーであるえなことの対談企画「アニメ愛がてんこ盛り！一夜限りのSP対談 上坂すみれ×えなこ」をお届け。「どうしても肉眼で一目見たかった」という上坂からのリクエストで、上坂が声を担当する『うる星やつら』ラムのコスプレで登場したえなこ。夢の実現に、上坂は「可愛いぃぃぃ」「ハァァァァ良すぎる！」と思わず昇天する。
その後は、2人の共通点“コスプレ”でトークを展開。「コスプレを始めたきっかけ」「コスプレを広めるためにしていること」などのテーマで“職業としてのコスプレ”という新たな道を切り拓いたえなこを深掘りしていく。そんななか、えなこの噂の真相に迫る場面も。「再現のためならまつ毛も鼻毛も全部抜く」という噂に、えなこは「YES」と回答。「コスプレをやるために、毛は邪魔だって思っていて。つけまつ毛を自分のまつ毛みたいに見せるためにまつ毛を抜いて、眉毛はキャラによって高さも色も変えるのでないほうがいいと思って剃りました」とプロのコスプレイヤーとしてのこだわりを語ったえなこに、上坂も「アバターの最初みたいにってこと！？」と驚きつつ、「ツルツルのベースにしておくことでいろんなキャラに合わせられるんですね」と感心のコメントを寄せた。
また、コミックマーケット（通称“コミケ”）の話題では、最近、“サークル”として参加し、自身の写真集を販売したというえなこから、上坂へ「もしコミケでサークル参加するなら何を出す？」という質問も。「なんの同人誌書こう！」と悩みつつ、「自分の趣味コスプレ写真集と、ホットスナック食べ比べ本と、おすすめの日本酒リストでも作ろうかな」と答えた上坂。上坂が作るマニアックな“同人誌”に、えなこは「うわぁぁ即完売でしょ！」と大興奮で「私並びますよ！」と意気込んだ。
ほかにも、「のぶ散歩 withたく」では、プロレスラーの真壁刀義、バトミントン日本代表の早川賢一、松友美佐紀らアスリート陣が続々と登場し、対決を繰り広げたほか、今年が3度目となる「声優スーパーカートリオ集結！世紀の異種バトル」には、元プロ野球選手・糸井嘉男が登場し、浪川大輔、松本梨香、蒼井翔太ら“声優スーパーカートリオ”と、外野手がホームへ送球するまでの間に、3塁ランナーがホームベースを踏む野球の“タッチアップ”で対決。豪華ゲストとともに“あそび”を楽しんでいく。
そうして番組はあっという間に終わりの時間に。28時間を駆け抜け、関は「本当に楽しかったです！もう恒例化してもいいんじゃないかな」と早速来年に向け意気込みつつ、「唯一、お腹が減ったよね。減りすぎてピーナッツをもらってきました！」とかわいらしくコメントし笑いを誘う。そして最後は「声優Next Time」といつもの挨拶で番組は終了。 2日間で総勢55名以上が出演、さまざまな笑いと感動を生んだ『声優28時間テレビ』に、視聴者からは、「たくさんの愛をありがとう！」「夜あそび最高!!」「たくさん笑いました」などのコメントが寄せられた。
