Trifolium Radio 12: It's Six O'Clock — Let's Chat Through This Long Autumn Night

The reason I love voice actors' radio programs is that you get glimpses of their true selves that you'd never see just from listening to their works. With this "Rokuji da ne" series, I've found that Hatsutoki Cherry-san, who I always thought of as a smart, reliable older-brother type, is actually a surprisingly relatable and funny guy — and that changed my impression of him in a really good way. Even with such a perfect image, he's bad at games that require thinking, and I'm grateful that he keeps showing us sides of himself we'd never know just from his work! Just as Rokujou Gin-san always seems to be having a blast playing the games, we listeners also got to watch along and enjoy it the whole time. I really think Hatsutoki Cherry-san and Rokujou Gin-san make a great duo. I hope this radio program continues on for a long time to come...!

Thank you again for another wonderful broadcast! Congratulations on making it through another full cycle of spring, summer, autumn, and winter. I've really felt the speed of the year passing alongside the two of them and this "Rokuji da ne" radio show. 【Letters Corner】 They read through a lot of letters following up from the previous radio episode, including stories about autumn and various other topics. Especially with the "autumn" theme, I found myself getting hungry right along with them (lol) The broadcast happened to air on a day with autumn-like weather, so it really stirred up my desire to see autumn scenery and stimulated my appetite. It felt exactly like what a radio show should be. Hatsutoki Cherry-san often puts into words what's happening with Rokujou Gin-san, since listeners can't actually see him, and I'm always grateful for that. Rokujou-san has such a wealth of topics, and the letters sparked all sorts of stories that expanded in different directions. I listened along nodding "yeah, yeah" as the two of them chatted happily. 【Game Corner】 It got so exciting that parts even had to be fast-forwarded (lol) This corner really showed how serious the two of them can be. There were moments where Hatsutoki-san's natural airheaded side peeked through, and it was adorable. Rokujou-san's quick thinking really showed through in the quiz — he seemed like a natural at it. My own level of understanding was right between the two of them, so I got to enjoy going back and forth between "I got it!" and "I don't get it!" at just the right pace. When I heard the correct answer, I had a little "aha" moment. 【Paid Version】 They said they wanted listeners to enjoy the quiz even more, so there was an extended round. Thank you so much!! One of the quiz answers involved a word with a romantic feel befitting a situational voice work! I was so happy to hear that kind of imagery discussed by the two of them!! It really showed just how much they, as voice actors and professionals of words, think things through deeply. It was also interesting when they shared their own analysis in an additional letter. Lastly, congratulations on the goods release decision!!

Thank you for continuing this through a full cycle of the seasons. At the beginning, I thought of it as: Hatsutoki-san → the serious senpai Rokujou-san → the cute kouhai But now it's: Hatsutoki-san → adorably scatterbrained Rokujou-san → impressively knowledgeable The game in the second half! The answers were supposed to be yes or no, but he just answered normally And Hatsutoki-san kept blurting out hints over and over lol I laughed so much Thank you!

We've finally reached the fourth season. Starting with Rokujou-san's familiar, cute, slightly playful voice, it felt just like quietly listening to the two of them chat on a long autumn night — so comfortable. It was fun thinking about the passage of "time" together with the two of them, realizing how close we are to the end of the year. This time they read a lot of letters, and I was happy to hear so many different stories. The talk about sitting for long periods left an impression on me. Rokujou-san's talk about basic posture was also helpful. And I was surprised to hear that Hatsutoki-san used to do stage combat (tate) before! So cool...! The talk about computers and what "autumn" means to each of them was interesting too. Like Rokujou-san, I'm fine with bugs, but I was happy that there are fewer bugs in autumn, so I could relate to Hatsutoki-san's feelings as well. There was also a lot of talk about food, truly fitting for the season of appetite. I couldn't help but laugh along at the "when you suddenly crave mushroom rice" part. The part where bamboo shoots and matsutake mushrooms got all mixed up was funny too (lol) The "Original Game Corner" was also a lot of fun! For the first question, I tried thinking along with Rokujou-san's question, but both the answer and the hint were difficult...! For the second and third questions, it was funny watching Hatsutoki-san struggle with asking questions — since I'm bad at asking questions myself, I felt a bit of kinship with him. The part where he suddenly blurted out a hint on the third question was also mischievous and cute (lol) The bonus extended round was also really fun! The final question was truly difficult! After struggling so much, once we heard the answer the hint felt surprisingly easy, and I couldn't help but laugh at how Hatsutoki-san still couldn't get it. The talk about things that haven't changed about the two of them over the years, and places they'd like to visit, was interesting too. I'm looking forward to the merchandise as well! Thank you for a wonderful radio show.

The seasons have cycled around, and the "Rokuji da ne" radio show has finally reached its 4th episode!! Since this was a letters special episode, we got to hear all kinds of stories, and once again it was a radio show that was a lot of fun and gave me a lot of energy!! 【The Usual Letters】 ・I looked up and tried the stretching exercise using a stick that Rokujou-san mentioned, and even after just a short time my body felt warm — it was personally really effective for me! ・Mushroom rice!! I was clapping and laughing thinking "exactly!!", and when the two of them burst out laughing too, it made me laugh even harder, to the point my stomach hurt from laughing so much! lol ・Hatsutoki-san's bit about bamboo shoots and matsutake mushrooms hit my already aching stomach with another blow — it was rough! 【Original Game Corner】 Since we listeners didn't know either of the words given to the two of them, the difficulty skyrocketed, but it was incredibly fun to listen to!! 【Bonus】 Thank you for the extended game corner round!! Following the main part, it was so difficult my brain felt like it was steaming! And this time there was a pun again! lol As for what kind of pun it was, please buy it and listen for yourself! I already loved the radio show and the logo so much, so I'm thrilled it's getting turned into merchandise!! Thank you again for another fun radio show!!
