On March 15, 2026, wrapped in soft spring sunlight, many fans who have followed the work for years gathered at the completion commemoration talk event held at 'animate hall BLACK' on the 9th floor of the Animate Ikebukuro Main Store. This was a special event for those who pre-ordered/purchased the final album at Animate stores nationwide or via mail order.
When the show started, Daiki Hamano, Seiichiro Yamashita, and Shun Horie were welcomed with loud applause. They introduced themselves one by one, and the talk event began with Hamano acting as the MC.
The first segment was the 'Anthos* Memorial Talk', looking back from the 1st season to the 4th season. Episodes that couldn't be discussed before due to spoilers were unveiled, and the cast members frankly expressed their feelings.
Regarding the 1st season, Horie commented on his impression before joining as Setsuna: 'It depicted not only the struggles as idols but also human worries, so I felt it wasn't just a simple idol project.' On the other hand, Horie revealed his anxiety when he first joined, saying, 'I felt strongly among everyone that Anthos was a 6-member group.' To this, Hamano responded, 'Setsuna's addition brought new color to the group,' and Yamashita added, 'Now, it feels lacking without Horiel,' stating that Horie's high-tone voice is indispensable to 'Anthos*'.
