ABEMA, the "New Future TV," broadcast 'SHIBUYA ANIME BASE (#ShibuAni)' #83 live on its "ABEMA Anime Channel" from 9:00 PM to 10:00 PM on Friday, April 24, 2026. This episode welcomed voice actors Daisuke Namikawa and Tomoyo Kurosawa as guests, delivering a wealth of information on new spring anime and behind-the-scenes production stories.
## Special Feature on 'Sound! Euphonium The Movie: The Final Movement Part 1'
The first half of the program featured an extensive special on 'Sound! Euphonium The Movie: The Final Movement Part 1,' which premiered in theaters on Friday, April 24, 2026. This series, set in Uji City, Kyoto Prefecture, has depicted the human drama of high school students dedicating their youth to brass band music across five movies and 39 anime episodes since 2015. Tomoyo Kurosawa, who plays the protagonist Kumiko Oumae, revealed that sound director Tsuruoka places great importance on the series being a 'documentary' when discussing the recording process for the 10-year-long series, emphasizing a raw approach through the characters and performers' physicality. Regarding the current film, she highlighted the 'Sunfes' marching scene, exclaiming, "The Sunfes costumes are also cute. Speaking of Kyoto Animation, you have to see the flutter of those skirts!" and "The way new cuts are inserted in this film is so tasteful, you absolutely mustn't miss it!" Furthermore, in the 'Impressions of the Week' segment, which features carefully selected impactful posts related to anime by the 'X' editorial team, passionate fan reactions such as "cried within 1 minute of starting" and "applause of praise and gratitude erupted after the screening" were introduced. Kurosawa touched upon the fact that approximately five years have passed since the previous theatrical version, and new fans who discovered the series during that time now make up over half of event attendees, expressing her joy: "It makes me happy that many people are experiencing it in real-time for the first time."
## Recommended Spring Anime 2026 and Voice Actor Behind-the-Scenes Stories
Following this, the regular 'Iwai's Picks! Recommended Spring Anime 2026' segment, held every season, became lively with discussions about the cast members' appearances in spring anime. Tomoyo Kurosawa plays Gel, the youngest of the 13 sisters, in 'Record of Ragnarok III,' and Daisuke Namikawa also appears as Beelzebub. It was revealed that Sora Tokui plays a 'super pervert' character in 'The Strongest Occupation is Not a Hero, Nor a Sage, But an Appraiser (tentative),' and that Namikawa and Shugo Nakamura are engaged in an 'immortal showdown' in 'Reincarnation no Hanabira.' Additionally, Iwai introduced 'The Ice Wall,' which is being distributed on ABEMA every Thursday at 24:30, as his top recommendation. Haraiwai's Iwai strongly empathized with the protagonist, who is "really bad at having distances suddenly closed in."
Furthermore, a special feature was conducted on the unique and chaotic anime 'Goddess "What do you want to be reincarnated as in another world?" Me "The Brave's Ribs,"' starring Namikawa, which airs on ABEMA every Tuesday at 26:30. Namikawa, who plays the role of 'Red Salmon Master,' who met a glorious death, confessed that he "acted with a cool voice during the audition, as if this was the moment." He also exposed harsh (yet exciting!?) behind-the-scenes stories from the recording, such as the shocking casting of Shinichiro Miki playing '21 ribs' by himself, and being provoked by staff during pre-scoring recordings, saying, "You have to make them laugh. Is that your limit?" while continuously improvising, which brought laughter to the studio.
## Daisuke Namikawa 50 Questions Corner
Towards the end of the program, a '50 Questions Corner' was held for Namikawa, who celebrated his 50th birthday on April 2. When asked, "Which role made you think, 'Is this me?'" he answered, "The role of Iron Atom (Fe)." He revealed the difficulties of having to "create the role myself" when the director, upon being asked how to play it, replied, "I don't know." He also candidly answered tricky questions like "What was your most profitable job?" and "What's your savings?" while looking flustered. Furthermore, as a past co-star anecdote, Namikawa exposed Iwai's endearing side, revealing that when Iwai first challenged voice acting, he was so nervous that he "stayed close to Namikawa the whole time," leading to Iwai's shy smile.
