RAINCODE Fan Meeting Report ①
Around the first reading play of the daytime program.
This is part 1 of a series of a highlight of the fan meeting event that took place in Tokyo on March 17, 2024. There were so many interesting parts that I am not sure how many parts I will finish, but I think I will post at least two more.
⚠️This is a long post! Please read this only if you have the time.
Before the show begins:
When the show started, Yuma's voice called out to the audience, but I thought it was just a recorded voice playing, so I listened quietly. Then he hesitantly shouted "H-Hello!" again, and I finally realized that I had to answer him.
(Sorry I didn't notice sooner, Yuma!)
I answered out loud, but there were quite a few people clapping back. (JP fans are a little too shy XD)
Then, after the lights went dark, Katsumi Fukuhara, the VA of Yuma, and Sayumi Suzushiro, the VA of Shinigami, appeared on the stage.
A reenactment of the scene where Yuma first meets Shinigami on the Amaterasu Express began. The first part must have been almost exactly the same as the dialog in the game: Shinigami waking up Yuma, Yuma learning that he is an amnesiac, Shinigami identifying himself, and so on.
There was a scene in which Shinigami got upset with Yuma because he did not call her name properly. (I don't know how it is translated in the English version of RAIN CODE, but Shinigami gets upset when Yuma doesn't call her “Shinigami-chan”.)
Yuma tried to cheer up Shinigami's mood, but it doesn't work out. Then Shinigami suggested:
Here, the audience side brightens up and Shinigami said, "See how many there are!".
Yuma noticed the audience, then said “Oh, hi!” and waved to the audience, a little hesitantly.
(Actually the people on the stage are the VAs, but for clarity I have replaced them with characters.)
Many in the audience waved back, but there were a few who clapped back at this scene as well. (JP fans tend to clap anyway. XD)
Yuma then asked the audience for help. (Sorry, the art above and the art below are not properly connected, because my memory is pretty fuzzy on what happened between them!)
I don't remember exactly why Shinigami's line in that part got that way, but I'm pretty sure she was telling the audience, "I haunt you guys perfectly! (バッチリみんなに憑いてるよ!)".
(Her lines are hard to translate! 😅 You might think it's a weird translation, but it's a weird line originally, so I hope you can guess what it is).
After that, there was a little exchange, and then Yuma exclaimed: "We're in the washroom of car number 1…, no, we're in Hikousen Theater!!!" (Hikousen Theater is the actual venue where the event took place).
The performance ended when Yuma realized that he had actually fainted in the waiting room of the Hikousen Theater and called for the MC.
(I'm not sure why the location was changed when it said the Amaterasu Express on the screen, but I guess it was done to make it easier for the audience to understand that the exchange was the same as the one in the Amaterasu Express in the game).
Then the MC appeared and the VAs introduced themselves. When it was Sayumi Suzushiro’s turn, she asked the audience to say “kawaii (cute)” while performing Shinigami's voice. And again, the audience calls out as they did earlier:
Both Katsumi Fukuhara and Sayumi Suzushiro performed perfectly, and I was very impressed that they spoke exactly the same as the characters in the game!
I don't know how much they practiced, but it was really nice to see their performance in real time!
That's all for now in this post. I've already started preparing the rest of the posts and hope to be able to post them as soon as possible! 😣

Tailors can best judge the shape for a bra by making a trade in which they give up half their own cup size in exchange for “shinigami boobs” in which they can magically sense the breast size of their customers.
