There was a series of signing sessions for the CD "Tobu Kyoushitsu". There were two sessions at Animate Hachiouji and one at Animate Shibuya on April 27. At Shibuya, it was just a signing session for over 200 people, but at Hachiouji, there was a short talk session (around 30 minutes) prior to the signing/handshake session.

I went to the first session at Hachiouji, which started at 10:45. There were a little over 100 people for this session.

Junko was wearing a red (or pink) cardigan. Her hair was tied up.

Some highlights from the talk:

• When Junko got to Hachiouji on the train this morning, her ticket wasn't enough, so the ticket gates closed on her. Then when she got out, she didn't know which side was the north exit, so she had to ask one of the station people.
• After Super Ani Mega Hit Top 10 (Fridays) Junko gets home around 2 AM or so. Then she plays games or plays with the computer. This week, she turned on the TV when she got home, and watched Shibuya de Chu.. but she only caught the ending. But Junko said that she will use the timer to record the one on 5/9 (that's the one Junko will be the guest).
• Junko will be in a game boy game called Pocket Love. It also has Inoue Kikuko, Hikami Kyoko, Miyamura Yuko, and others. It's a game that comes with the cartridge and a CD. Junko said that she recorded the voices by playing the game and watching the little screen.
• For ?? [some CD that I couldn't make out] Junko had to sing a RAP song. It was very difficult, and took more time than any other song recording that she had done before.
• Regarding "Tobu Kyoushitsu".. Junko and Kuwashima Houko recorded their story while facing each other. (Usually, the seiyuu are standing side to side when recording voices.) Also Junko said that it was a very deep story that moved her.
• There will be a Mahou Tsukai Tai onsen trip event in June. Junko said that people who come should bring some change of clothes, as they would probably have to do some exercises.. She said that she would just watch.

[There was more, but I forgot..]

At the end of the talk session, there was a janken for three prizes (one telephone card and two posters, the same ones that they sell at Animate). Junko signed these for the winners.

After the talk session, everyone went up to Junko to get the pre-signed signature boards, and to shake hands with her.
