Hey Vee! Sorry to bother you with this question, but I've been curious about it recently and I wanted to know if you(by any chance) have an answer or an opinion about it:
Recently there was this event of Rule the Stage(I think it was Hypnosis Delight Fes), and I saw the pics of some of the actors with the seiyuus of their respective character, including Yuu Kobayashi, Chiaki Takahashi and Nozomi Yamamoto(Chuoh's VAs) next to the stage actresses of their characters.
I just wanted to know, if you know or have an opinion about why, in both situations(The Block Party's live and this event) Ai Fairouz(Honobono's VA) never showed up, specially now that we have a Stage Honobono too.
Sorry for the big ask, but I've been discussing this with my friends because we were really curious, since we really wanted to listen to her singing Honobono's solo when the Block Party's Live was announced, and... We got a little disappointed that Fairouz didn't show up(I could say the Tobari Brothers' VAs too, but I know that they're 65+ yo, so I might understand...), so could you give us an opinion about it?
from a character standpoint, and i believe it’s what affects these decisions overall, honobono is actually not chuuoku lmao. she’s technically aligned with them (tho i think even that’s kinda in limbo given the events of stay gold where she was arrested but used out of necessity) but she has no songs with the main three, stay gold, the track that establishes chuuou division with song, pointedly left honobono out of that song and gave her her own beat, and is even included in the sub characters section in the guidebook rather than the chuuoku section
so she is just like the tobari bros in that regard but character wise, she is meant to be alone
