Akane-banashi: 1x9

Performer

The Karaku Cup final continues. Following Karashi, voice actress Hikaru Koragi takes the stage. Determined to be judged not for her looks, but for her acting skills, she competes in the Karaku Cup. To showcase her expressiveness, she performs a sentimental story. Coincidentally, it’s “Shibahama” – the story that Shinta performed during his Shin’uchi Promotion Test six years ago. Hikaru’s passionate performance rocks the audience, and in its wake, Akane takes the stage at last.
