When prompted by MC Neki Matsuzawa to have Legoshi introduce himself and talk about the anime’s appeal, Chikahiro Kobayashi stepped behind the costumed character and performed a live dubbing. The surprise performance brought smiles to the audience.
Toward the end of the stage event, special guest My Melody appeared for a high-five, which thrilled Yu Kobayashi. “Wow! Amazing! It’s the real deal!” he exclaimed. When the MC teasingly reminded him, “That’s a bunny other than Haru-chan,” he paused, then reacted with a guilty expression, saying, “Ah... Haru-chan is a rabbit too…”
