I’m Shibuya HAL, and I’ve been put in charge of the ending theme for The Yakuza’s Guide to Babysitting!
When I received the offer, I freaked out. “The ending theme for an anime? I’m super excited, but I’m way too nervous for such a big role!” But ANCHOR did a wonderful job on the song, and when I heard the finished soundtrack, I thought to myself, “I’m looking forward to this being played!”
I’m much looking forward to the start of the broadcast when we can finally see the characters moving around!

VTubers Takanashi Kiara and IRyS to Perform at Germany’s DoKomi Anime Convention
21.April.2022 | ANIME&GAME / SPOT
Hololive English VTubers Takanashi Kiara and IRyS have announced that they will appear at Germany’s largest anime and manga convention DoKomi on June 4 and 5, 2022.
The two will also hold a mini-concert at the event, and selected fans will be able to participate in a chat session with each VTuber. Limited edition merchandise featuring both Kiara and IRyS will be available on-site.Don’t miss your chance to meet Kiara and IRyS from Hololive English!
Takanashi Kiara
An idol whose dream is to become the owner of a fast-food chain. Kiara is a phoenix, not a chicken or turkey. (Very important)
She burns brightly, working herself to the bone since she’ll just be reborn from her ashes anyway.
Character Design: huke (@hukeweb)
YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHsx4Hqa-1ORjQTh9TYDhww
Twitter: https://twitter.com/takanashikiaraIRyS
IRyS, a half-demon, half-angel also known as a Nephilim, once brought hope to “The Paradise” during the ancient age. Her full name is — Irys. This current era, riddled with despair and desperation, has brought upon her second awakening. She has arrived to deliver hope, with her feelings put into her lyrics and songs, and determination in her voice.
Though she tends to retain her Nephilim form, she is still quite young within her race. With emotion and “other factors,” it is possible that her form may lean to either side. When that occurs, she bears a brief change in her appearance. She does not speak of the events that preceded her second awakening. She faces ever forward, perhaps because she is Hope Incarnate, though no one knows for sure. Or could it be…
“The future is not what helps people; the future is made with our own hands. Salvation is hypocrisy. If people know they are to be saved, they simply will not try. From the depths of despair: a glimmer of light, the warmth of recovery. As long as we are with hope, we live. We stand tall.”
