Surprise report here for FAN CLUB EVENT IX!!! To sort of ease the workload on me, I decided to combine both Day 1 & Day 2 into one report. I'm sorry I haven't really been able to dish out reports this year on LIVE HEROES and LIVE PARADE, it's been a pretty tough year for me in quite a few ways so I just lacked the energy to take on more. I'll try and figure out a new template that'll be more manageable for my reports, which means they won't be as comprehensive as they used to, but for now, please enjoy all the silliness of the past weekend! Happy Holidays to y'all!
7 Questions Corner
Koushien Live
Nana talks about how it was really hard singing in the rain, water kept pouring into her mouth and whipping her eyes and she wondered if her hand will become like Fate's and there'll be lightning and electricity crackling down from the mic.
Beautiful
Nana herself was also very surprised to get to perform in a musical since she isn't really well-versed with acting. She tells us how she was talking about having seen the musical on her trip to NYC on her radio show and how much she adored it and the next day she got a call about the role basically.
Kouhaku Uta Gassen
She used to say she hoped for that as a joke, since people would have laughed if she said it for real and then it happened!!! Mishi-P couldn't tell her right away after hearing about it and it was really hard for him to not say anything.
Nana Mizuki is Worldwide!
Apparently a fan had written how they had gone to the Maldives for vacation and had worn their LIVE ADVENTURE shirt, only to bump into a couple visiting from Taiwan who were also Nana fans and then they ended up spending the whole day talking about Nana!
Tokyo Dome Live
Nana talks about how it felt performing at Tokyo Dome and said she felt the venue manifest as a he who was not convinced she should be performing there and she felt very intimidated. She also mentions that she felt the same way at Budoukan. Today's Pia Arena MM is a she and very kind to her apparently! Mishi-P asks what Ariake Arena was then where she had the final for LIVE PARADE earlir this year and apparently Nana feels that venue was genderless. Then apologizes for how weird the conversation became.
Two Lives in One Day
Nana and Mishi-P reminiscence about how for LIVE GRACE -Opus III- there was also a Precure Live on the same day and since timing wise they weren't overlapping Nana was like "I can do both!" but now talking about it they remembered that it wasn't in fact the first time Nana had done two lives in one day. There was another occassion a long time ago, but I don't recall exactly now what it was.
Marriage/pregnancy
Apparently a question had come in from a fan if this partner of hers is real since she is very quiet about her private life and she swears it's a real person. She introduced him to Mishi-P and his reaction had apparently been "LOL".
Nanaya Santa Merry Christmas Show
This corner was a homage to a Japanese show with a similar name, where people would phone in about their xmas troubles and receive advice and a present from the hosts of the show, but the Nana version we had changed the concept around a bit of course, and the people phoning in would be her fellow seiyuu, senpai on the first night and kouhai on the second, and after talking they would need to be the ones to give a gift and Nana would pull a seat number from a sack to determine the recipient from the attending fans.
Tachiki Fumihiko
Tachiki-san met Nana during recording on Jiku Tantei Genshi-kun (Nana was very touched that he remembered) and Nana considers him to be a very kind senpai even though she expected the opposite considering how he typically voices intimidating roles. Nana reminisces how couldn't match the mouth movements at all back then since she was new to the biz and you didn't receive a rehearsal video in advance and they just basically showed the scene to you once and you were just expected to do it.Tachiki-san gifted an alarm clock with recorded alarm message by him and Nana with him being mean and her being nice.
Ootsuka Akio
Ootsuka-san first met Nana on Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker ofc, and it was a rare occasion where they actually recorded together. That's the sort of thing Kojima insisted upon and Nana was so shocked when THE Snake walked in to record with her. They reminiscence about Nana peacing out from a talk show at Tokyo Game Show to do a concert at Chiba Marine Stadium on the same day.
Ootsuka-san gifted a muffler.
Hidaka Rina
Hidaka-san joined Star Crew earlier this year! She shares a story of how she and Nana and another one of her kouhai seiyuus went to dinner together one time and it lasted until very late into the night until Nana finally put a stop to it and says she needs to be cycling early next morning LOL. Nana says Hidaka-san is very smart and is good at creating an atmosphere that makes everyone feel included, Rina decides to be a troll and says she still thinks Santa is real and Nana says nvm we are all dumb in Star Crew.
Hidaka-san gifted a shoulder massager.
Kotobuki-san met Nana on Dog Days which surprised Nana because she feels like they met way earlier. Kotobuki-san is good friends with one of the actors and the three of them would often go to lunch together during Beautiful. Nana finds her very energetic and the most positive person she knows, as most seiyuu tend to be quite negative.
Kotobuki-san gifted a coffee machine.
SCN Music Fest
This corner is a homage to FNS 歌謡祭 which Nana frequently gets invited to and where she gets to collaborate with a bunch of other artists so she wanted to do something similar here during the Fan Club Event.
1. BLACK DIAMOND
with Cho-san, Kado-D, Kojiro from the Cherry Boys
2. Sound of Destiny / Powder Snow
with Suara
3. Sailor Star Song
with Inoue Marina
4. Merry X'mas
with Cho-san, Kado-D, Kojiro from the Cherry Boys
Man, this corner was such a pleasant surprise!! The acoustic BLACK DIAMOND and Merry X'mas were really beautiful and tbh, I had always wanted to hear the violin intro to BLACK DIAMOND live like this and it was truly wonderful. The White Album collaborations with Suara were incredible as well and I know mean a lot to a lot of folks, but for me the the star of this corner was hands down Sailor Star Song. Sailor Moon meant a lot to me growing up (and still does!) and it was honestly a dream come true to have Nana join the cast of the latest movies and sing this son since it's my second favorite opening actually after Moonlight Densetsu.

I wasn't the biggest fan of Get up! Shout! so wasn't sure if I'd like this Shaman King song but man do I love it!!! The rock vibe is really up my alley and hearing this really made the FC Event end on a very high note for me. I've honestly been looping this ever since the weekend so might be likely that you'll see a translation for it popping up soon too. Sure hope it'll be included in the summer tour set list too!
And that concludes my report! And as said, I'm gonna try and figure out some format that I could see myself keeping up with for future live reports so bear with me.
