• Report version 0.9 by Hitoshi Doi, 1995.10.25

There were three Inoue Kikuko events in the Human booth at Playstation Expo '95 on October 8, 1995. Since the Human booth was not so big, they fenced off the area and used the entire booth for these events. The guests sat on high stools at the corner of the booth, and the fans sat on the ground. There were 50 people allowed for each event.

Kikuko was wearing a brown vest and skirt with flower designs over a white long sleeve blouse.

11:00 - 11:30

Q: What is the secret present that you were going out to the people who had their letter read?
Kikuko: It's an "omamori" (good luck charm).

Q: What will be on the Manbou Housoukyoku CD?
Kikuko: There will be drama, where I play all of the various roles. Also there will be some commercial skits, an "oi oi" lesson corner, and various other things.
Kikuko: Did you understand the "oi oi" motion when I gave the lessons on the radio?

Then Kikuko demonstrated the "oi oi" motion.

Q: Was there any special "oi oi" that you remember during the radio show?
Kikuko: There were a lot of them.. I try to forget them as soon as possible, so I don't remember anything in particular.

Then they showed a video to introduce the new games by Human, Twilight Syndrome, Puppet Zoo Pilomy, Hyper Formation Soccer, and Firemen 2.

16:00 - 16:30

Q: What will the next LD/video be like?
Kikuko: They had video taped me while I was recording the songs for my new CD. It has me in many situations, and it's a little embarrassing.

Q: What was the most scary experience you had while doing Twilight Syndrome?
Kikuko: I think it is the "light beam" that comes from Megakira-san when he is talking about the horror movies. He seems to be very happy, and it's very scary looking at him.
Megakira: I can't see myself..
Kikuko: But besides that there weren't any really scary things that happened.

Q: Have you done an "oi oi" to other people.
Kikuko: No.
Then they asked the audience to see if anyone had something to say that would deserve an "oi oi". One guy raised his hand, but he couldn't think of anything. So Kikuko said that that deserved an "oi oi".
Kikuko: Oi oi. Oh, that felt good.

Q: How many letters do you get at Twilight Syndrome every week?
Otakki: When we had the present, we got around 2000 letters that week. But usually we get 500 to 1000.

Q: Do you have any game machines? Are there any games that you like?
Kikuko: Yes. What was it called..
Someone: Do you have a Playstation?
Kikuko: I don't have a Playstation. So I play that at the office. At home I have.. a super famicom. I also have.. I don't remember the name.
Someone: PC Engine.
Kikuko: Yes, that one. Also the game that I liked the most so far is.. Twilight Syndrome. We played it at the studio before the recording, and we kept playing it for a couple hours.

Then they showed a video to introduce the new games by Human, Twilight Syndrome, Puppet Zoo Pilomy, Hyper Formation Soccer, and Firemen 2.

Kikuko: Is anyone listening to my radio program live?
[almost everyone raised their hands]
Kikuko: Wow. Can you get up the next day? It's ok to record it and listen to it later.

Kikuko: There will be a CD coming out called "Manbou Housoukyoku". There is a drama in it called "Family Sentai Kazoku-man" where I do 8 roles: the girl, a 10 year old boy, a 4 year old girl, a baby, the mother, the father (who had been shrunk so he sounds like Kitarou's father), the female president, and the underlings. I also sing the theme song to that drama. Singing sentai songs is fun, isn't it? Don't you sing those at the karaoke box?

Then as a special present, they gave out eight signed Twilight Syndrome CDs!
[congratulations! Mr. Yu-chan. ^_^]

Kikuko: When I said that I wanted to be a seiyuu, all of my friends laughed at me since I'm not good at speaking. But now I am even able to have my own radio show. Thank you for all of your support.
