Comments from Boueibu VAs regarding 10 year anniversary/movie
Can't remember who exactly was asking for a translation of these, but if no one else has tackled them yet (as of posting this)...see under the cut.
Kazutomi Yamamoto (Yumoto's VA):
Everyone! Have you been well?
Already, 10 years have passed since we first yelled, "We are the heirs to the throne of love!" The days we spent with Yumoto, with the Defence Club! The days we conveyed love with the anime, the days we made merry with Nico livestreams, the days we shared the love with events!
Binan Koukou Chikyuu Boueibu...whatever it might be, it's nostalgic.
At this turning point called the 10 year anniversary, a decision has been made to make a movie! There'll be stuff like the Ikaho collab, stuff where I play Yumoto, but speaking of the new movie, I look forward to being able to meet everyone as Yumoto again! Again and again!
Yuichiro Umehara (En's VA):
I am amazed it has been 10 years.
I played this role in the early years of my [voice acting] debut, so I'm very happy to play him again. Chikyuu Boueibu is an unpredictable work, so at the present time, I don't know what kind of story will be depicted. However, I am looking forward to it.
I think it'll be a story where we'll certainly laugh and be emotionally moved, but because it is an unpredictable story, at the present time, I don't know what kind of story will be depicted.
I look forward to Love Making for the first time in a long time, but because it is an unpredictable story, at the present time, I don't know what kind of story will be depicted.
But it'll be a work you'll be able to enjoy - make no mistake.
Thank you in advance.
Kotaro Nishiyama (Atsushi's VA):
Congratulations on the 10 year anniversary!
Being able to celebrate the 10th anniversary like this makes me happy from the bottom of my heart. Then a decision was made to make a new movie. I'm really happy to be able to meet them [the LOVE! Defence Club] in animation again! Please look forward to their powered-up activities and unchanging vibe.
Well, let's go have chicken curry with added spinach! [1]
Yusuke Shirai (Io's VA):
Congratulations on Boueibu's 10th anniversary and Binan Koukou Chikyuu Boueibu ETERNAL LOVE! ＼(^o^)／ Boueibu is a work which I have a lot of emotional attachment to and it was a huge launchpad for me. I'm happy to play Io-kun again because this is the first time in a long time I've been able to do so. ( ´∀`) I want to meet them [the LOVE! Defence Club] again soon!!!
Toshiki Masuda (Ryuu's VA):
Congratulations on the 10 year anniversary and movie!
It's already been 10 years, huh? It's a work where we had this, that and a lot of experiences. If [Boueibu LOVE!] were to be made into a movie, I can't imagine what form it would take. I have high hopes for the fact our paths have successfully crossed again - Ryuu Zaou, who might have been changing in the work, and myself, who was changed by his influence in those days. I wish for this work to be one a lot of people can love, both for those who were cheering them [the LOVE! Defence Club] on in those days and those who've known them for the first time just now.
Mugihito (Wombat's VA):
Well well, after 6 years(?), Binan Koukou Chikyuu Boueibu has been revived.
Really, whatever will become of the existence of the mysterious outer space lifeform, Wombat...?
Battle Lovers, let's do our best-maccho!! [2]
[T/N 1: For the unaware, epinard = spinach in French.]
[T/N 2: Ganbattemaccho instead of the more standard ganbarimashou.]
Entergram’s “Umineko” page has updated with more characters, including Tetsurou Okonogi, Juuza Amakusa, Erika Furudo, and Kasumi Sumadera.
In addition, a second retweet campaign has begun, this time, winners can receive an autograph from Daisuke Ono (Battler Ushiromiya), Makoto Terada, who also goes by the stage name “Mugihito” as Kinzo Ushiromiya, and Akihiko Ishizumi (Nanjo Terumasa).
That’s the end for the “Binan Koukou Chikyuu Boueibu LOVE! FINAL!” event! At the end Umehara-san rushed to make it to the final! To everyone; thank you so much for your love!!! boueibu

(It makes me tearfully happy Ume-chan rushed to be with everyone for the last time! When the news about the event broke many wondered why Ume-chan wasn’t appearing on the cast list especially since it was the final. I’m so, so happy!)
It’s too sad to say goodbye to our boueibu bbys! 😭 We’ll always remember the show poking fun at itself, the star-studded senpai cast that featured in every episode, when the show got a second season and new characters appeared...but most of all I’ll always remember the silly antics and the amazing bond our bbys have. Whitey said before when he appeared on Hyorotto Danshi, whenever his boueibu members are at a recording studio with him he feels a bit of relief - he feels like they’re his family!
As Whitey also said in this tweet; “Don’t think of this as a sad thing...because we’ll always be connected by love!”
Wombat and Dadacha will have their roles reprised by Mugihito and Yasumoto in the 2nd season stage play (respectively).
Takano visited the Animate Cafe.
Koike commented the concept of Ushio for the GiGO Group art is probably Dionysus and tries to call him "Diomanbe". Speaking of which, Ayaka Murakami did the original art and clothing design for the collab cafe.
It's 5 days until the movie and today's shikishi is from Wombat’s VA, Mugihito. Follow the official X account and repost this tweet by the 19th of Jan. 2025 at 23:59 (all times/dates JST), but remember shikishi will only be sent to those within Japan.
