วีดีโอ

i love japanese people and their voice making any anime a dream or a fantasy.

This time’s reading was especially well-put-together. It was really entertaining. 0:03 Kayamori, Kunimi, and Aikawa refer to Ruka, Tama (Cappy), and Megumi, respectively. 0:20 Nanamin’s voice actress is Shuu Uchida. 0:23 Tsukasacchi (Tsukassie) is voiced by Yurina Amami. 0:25 Karerin is voiced by Yuu Serizawa. 0:28 Yukky is voiced by Ryouko Maekawa. 0:33 Ichigo is voiced by Aimi. 0:50 Nanamin is a very popular character. In the second character popularity poll announced in 2024, she placed fourth after Aoi, Yuina, and Tama. Part of her popularity comes from her occasionally saying odd things upon login. Her unflappable, calm demeanor is adorable. 2:04 This part is probably ad-libbed. It’s amazing how Shuu-chan (Shuu Uchida) can deliver that line in such a calm voice without laughing. 2:32 Ichigo Minase’s younger sister, Sumomo Minase, ends her sentences with “nya.” 2:43 Karerin maintains a positive outlook even in abnormal situations. That’s both her strength and, at times, it can feel a bit unsettling due to her strong normalcy bias (lol). 2:53-3:00 This also comes up at 11:23, and it’s ad-libbed too. Even Shuu-chan is slightly laughing here. 3:02 In Japan, when someone in a higher position gets really angry at someone, We often compare it to ‘dropping lightning.’ 3:38 The phrase “バールのようなもの” (something like a crowbar) is a stock expression often used in news reports about certain incidents. 4:59 “くるくるぱーかー！” (“Are you a dum-dum?”) is a popular line from the game. “Kurukurupa-” basically means “dummy,” but it sounds even older than “dummy,” and its funny ring made it popular. The “pa-ka-” part of “kurukurupa-ka-” sounds like “parka,” so they turned it into merchandise and actually released a hoodie (parka) with the name ‘kurukurupa-ka-’ (lol). 5:54 “Zukacchan” refers to Commander Tezuka, but I believe you have to play through Chapter 4 Part 2 of the game to see it (Part 2 has not been released in the EN version) 6:30 In yakuza-themed works, the term 鉄砲玉 (here translated as “bombshell”) refers to someone who charges in recklessly like a bullet, fully prepared for sacrifice. Since “bullet” in Japanese is “tama,” it might be why Tama Kunimi was chosen for this part. 7:53 Yuu-chan sounds like she’s having an absolute blast playing Karen-chan. 8:25 Yuki often does voice imitations like this. 8:33 As seen in the previous reading as well, “HAI BAAN” is a handy running gag, but once again they’re summoning a seraph inside the base (lol). At 9:07, we see that Ruka is also summoning a seraph in the same way. 10:30 In Japan, people often use “Sensei” as a joke. Here, Maekawa-san is half-jokingly suggesting that Ms. Aoi Koga should act like a teacher. Actually, this 1.5th festival was held on August 5, 2023. The following day, an event story (unreleased in the EN version) was published, featuring a scene where Tama plays an funny explanatory role. That might be why she wanted her to act like a teacher here.

3:37 I bet that guy who bring a crowbar is a highly trained professional...

Nanami VA legit died laughing inside the whole time

The all powerful Kunimissile! It will bring victory to humanity and strikes fear into Cancer!

among the VA gotta say yukkie VA was the best

😂

nanamin!!! Ichigo!!! ahhaha love them.. especially karerin!!!! wtf, laughing in tears, love this.. so many of them uncontrollably smiling/laughing, haha.. ahhaha tama becomes the bombshell for RUka??? hahahah

Can someone fill me in on why Koga Aoi is called sensei here?

Why does ruka va never do this stuff? Is she like super famous and busy so she cant attend? Anyone knows?

I like this one the most, who think they can put it all together🤣

In Global: Tezuka -> Zukacchan -> Bazooka I hope they change the localization in this part, because I don't think Ruka herself means to Making Fun of Tezuka, because it's just her habit of giving nicknames to other people, but the global version of the localization makes it seem like he's mocking Tezuka 😂. Well, even though, when she called Tezuka by this nickname, it was with the intention of teasing Tezuka.

I think Nanamin almost laughing while reading this script 😂

Remember this, there are only 2 people who can (dare) make fun of Tezuka Shireikan, first is Ruka, second is Nanami 😂

THIS IS SOO CUTE

OYYY TAMAAAAAAA!!!

Great work

Feels nice to finally have more people checking out this game after the global release! Come to JP if you can't wait for more content! Currently we're having fun with Kanade and the others from Angel Beats!

After this there were **Burn My Egg** memes for weeks.

Hilarious as always Also, Ruka didn't seem like she was away lol (I hope Tomoriru is fine and doing well...) DaMae is as expected an amazing writer for rewriting a well-done script due to Tomoriru's absence! Thank you for the translation!!

BURN MY EGG!! ahah.. new song? lols

Thanks for the translation! I really appreciate it. 😊

**This 1st Anniversary Party was held on February 5, 2023, one year after HebuBan’s release date (February 10, 2022). At that time, the main story had reached Chapter 4 (Part 1) and the subsequent Interlude I. If you’re concerned about spoilers, it’s recommended to clear at least Chapter 3.** **Just like the Half-Anniversary event, this reading drama features a special script written by Jun Maeda. Because Tomoriru (Tomori Kusunoki), who plays Ruka, couldn’t attend, the script turned out this way.** 0:14 It’s practically a given that Yukki’s remarks get ignored. However, when the topic suddenly changes like this, it’s a bit like a magician’s misdirection-often it means the original topic was actually important. lol 0:30 KETSU (A*S in English Ver) doesn’t just start talking arbitrarily; he must be listening to everyone else’s conversations on a regular basis. I think that’s a detail that’s easy to miss. 0:58 Megu-Tama moment! Cutting off Yukki and diverting or ignoring Ruka’s topic is very much Megumin’s style. Anju Inami, who voices Megumin, has plenty of experience not just as a voice actress but also as a stage actress, so she’s a pro at this sort of thing. 1:04 Inami-san’s vocal power is amazing. Along with her stage actress background, she also has karate experience. By the way, Anju Inami is in the same agency, Sony Music Artists, as Tomori Kusunoki (the voice of Ruka). 1:15 Ruka was only briefly called away by the commander, yet she jokes that everyone must have grown all melancholy in her absence. There’s humor in that, but in reality, the mood was anything but gloomy, creating a different kind of funny moment. 1:20 Yu Serizawa, who plays Karerin, is great at doing cute voices, but she’s also had many roles or lines tinged with madness. By the way, both Yurina Amami (Tsukasa) and Aoi Koga (Tama) are in the same agency-81 Produce-as Serizawa-san. 1:35 “Reverse scale.” In Japanese, it’s called 逆鱗 (gekirin). Its meaning is: “A highly sensitive spot that, when touched, triggers intense anger. Like a dragon’s tender spot beneath its scales, it refers to someone’s psychological weak point that instantly provokes rage when disturbed.” 2:07 In the English version, she’s called Tsukassie, but in Japanese, it’s Tsukasacchi. 2:20 The laughter here was probably because this is clearly Awakened Tsukasa, so she should be speaking more forcefully. But her voice was a bit weak, as though her usual self slipped through. Also, it’s amusing for voice actor fans that Amami-san (Tsukasa’s VA) said something she normally wouldn’t. 2:35 Tsukasa’s awakening appears in Chapter 3, but once you clear Interlude I, your impression changes again. Her casually awakening like this isn’t just for laughs-there is actually a reason for it. 3:50 Tsukasacchi’s skill “Memento Mori” includes the line “Hai, baan,” which is often joked about. The Japanese “baan” is close to “bang” in meaning, but it can also be interpreted here as “burn.” 4:06 It’s funny how they mention the skill name “Memento Mori” like it’s totally normal, even though characters typically don’t bring it up in the story. Plus, you’re not supposed to summon a Seraph at the base, yet she went right ahead and summoned it to use the EX skill-also hilarious. 4:33 Up to this point, there was a disconnect in the conversation between the five girls and Ruka, but suddenly Ruka aligns perfectly, almost as if she has some kind of clairvoyance. That’s part of the humor. However, in this game, it could be foreshadowing. In fact, there are hints that many characters-like Ruka-might have precognitive abilities. 7:26 Here, they say, “If there’s no sound, it’s avant-garde art.” 7:38 A “bakuhatsu-ochi” (explosion punchline) is a classic ending gag in anime and manga.

imagine Ruka come back and first reacion is why she wasnt invite to party 😂

I want to see this in game 😂

😂😂😂 this is gold. Always love it when megumin has existential crisis against ruka

Ruka:long touchy emosional message 31-A:no one even care

That a long message for come back late.

this is so good can I have tereterettete part ?

31A is basically bunch of clowns 😂 I think the translation better use Ketsu(butt) 😊

you know, I think nanamin saying that daily login joke every once in a while is not a bad idea lol.

the ending was a nice touch lol

This is the Half-Anniversary event of HBR held in July 2022. (Many mobile games often hold Half-Anniversary events in addition to their regular Anniversary events.) By the way, at this point in time, Chapter 4 had not been released yet. This video features a popular segment from the (Half-)Anniversary event-a dramatized reading. It uses a script specially written by Maeda Jun. It really shows how incredible 31A's voice actors were. 2:45 What they are referring to here is the string of four-character idiomatic expressions listed in the video description. It’s nearly impossible to capture their nuance in translation. 3:48 They’re not just saying it’s “terrifying” here; they use a stronger expression roughly meaning “fcking terrifying.” The word “kuso” (“fcking”) is something Otama-san often uses, which is amusing given her cute appearance. 4:10 I believe the mePad updates hadn't begun yet at this point, but it receives occasional updates based on special mission requirements. 5:30 The man who’s always wearing short sleeves is Mr. Kakinuma, the producer of HBR. Later on, he even becomes the CEO of GREE, the parent company of WRIGHT FLYER STUDIO. He’s very popular among the players. Incidentally, the AI known as KETSU (ASS) is also quite popular with players. 9:00 In general, many voice actors don’t want their faces seen while they’re performing, regardless of what they’re saying. There are veteran voice actors who believe they shouldn’t appear in public at all, reflecting the historical view that voice acting was originally a behind-the-scenes job. And many are concerned that having their faces associated with their acting could break the audience's image of the character or make it harder for viewers to stay immersed. Sakura Ayane-well-known from Key productions-is one such person. Meanwhile, Serizawa Yuu, who has been active for over a decade as part of the idol group i☆Ris and regularly appears in public, still takes great pride in her voice acting work, so it seems she too may have some reservations about having her face out there too much.

So this is what it's like greeting Yuki's ASS

just hearing yukkie suffering made my day

AY YO KETSU WHAT IS YOU DOING

I'm always impressed to watch VA acting exactly like the game

When KETSU self-destructed I knew it had to be a dream. Yukki will never get rid of that thing lol

Niceeee hackiiing

Imagine if Karen-chan put salt with "YO!" and ASS answer "Tropical Dane!"

man this is peak, their voice range is so large and the way they handle those high pinch voices like day to day talk is pure skill. and they are having fun too.

Yuki's ASS strikes again! 😂 Aoi's scream is loud even irl, it already shakes my eardrums ingame hahahaha. Also even if Ruka and Yuki are away from each other they still flirt hehehe... 🤭

I am seriously want to see Teheperinko Yamero scene enacted in real life now 😂

Immediately thought of Ruka after that 😂 those two are inseperable.

Thank you so much for translating this! I appreciate the work you put into it

Legendary va's right there.. thank you very much Vaweeb for the english translations.. love this.. Oy, Tama!!! i miss megumin.. haha.. is there a video of All the 31-A doing a reading like this?

You can see the audience laugh vigorously. LOL

I like how Yuki just immediately thought of Ruka after waking up from that wacky-ahh dream

Thanks for the food🙏

I was smiling the whole time
