Ultimate Entertainment Guide for Male Seiyuu fans

In Ultimate Entertainment Guide for Male Seiyuu fans you’ll find all the free (+ legal) content created by your favorite male seiyuu.

In the past couple of weeks, Japanese voice actors have been announcing projects on youtube. More than ever seiyuu music can be commonly found on Spotify. Drama CDs and radio shows are starting to be made available on youtube.

At the same time, due to COVID-19, we are all currently social distancing or in a quarantine of sorts so things can get a little boring.

With that in mind, THTFHQ provides you with an extensive (not exhaustive) entertainment guide for male seiyuu fans. Live performances, youtube shows, radio shows, music, and games can be found in this article to help you pass the time while at home.

This is a nice catch because, every single bit of entertainment in this article is FREE to enjoy and, at the same time, directly supports the male seiyuu that are creating the content – music, videos, and more.

A note: this guide was updated throughout 2020.

IDOLiSH7 Road to Infinity counted with performances by IDOLiSH7, TRIGGER and Re:vale.

Since the live can be taken down from their youtube channel at any time, it is advisable for you to check it out as soon as possible.

Music

For the last couple of months, music labels in Japan have been more friendly towards releasing music internationally for free on Spotify.

Thanks to this, people now have access to the official music through official channels which is good to counter piracy. At the same time you get to support your favorite projects much closer than we could a couple of years ago.

• Hypnosis Mic and IDOLiSH7 are two franchises that have their entire catalogues available on Spotify.
• Mamoru Miyano recently made his entire catalogue of over 150 songs (including remix albums) available on Spotify.

Artists you can encounter on Spotify are the following (the list is not exhaustive):

• OLDCODEX
• SCREEN mode
• Buzz Vibes
• Mamoru Miyano
• Toshiki Masuda
• Soma Saito
• Shunichi Toki
• Wataru Hatano
• Hiro Shimono
• Anthos (actually they have 4 profiles, one for each CD so here are those 1 / 2 / 3 / 4)

There are other ways to keep yourself distracted while social distancing.

Anime and Games

Animated series and video games might also be good ways for you to fight the boredom.

• Crunchyroll, Funimation, Netlflix, and other anime streaming platforms offer free or trial options if you do not want or can’t spend money.

If you don’t want or can’t spend money on video games, Steam has several demos and free-to-play games on PC. It might be worth checking out.

If you are a smartphone gamer, then these are our suggestions:

• Hypnosis Mic Alternative Rap Battle (story, rhythm game)
• IDOLISH7 (Heavy focus on story, fully voiced main story, rhythm game)
• Uta no Prince Sama Shining Live (idol farming – be ready to grind A LOT during events -, rhythm game)
• Stand My Heroes! (puzzle game with some romance elements)
• Ensemble Stars Basic and Music (basic is an idol farming game with a focus on story, fully voiced main story; music is a simple rhythm game)
• REALIVE! (story and rhythm game)
• Kaikan Phrase CLIMAX (fully voiced main story, idol farming)
• Mr.Love Queen’s Choice (Otome game fully translated into English with Japanese or English dub – depending on what you like -, heavy focus on storytelling – and what a story this one has! -, plus be ready to grind in some events)

And remember, social distancing isn’t social disconnection or complete isolation.

Although far, remember to call your friends and family. Call them. Lend them your virtual shoulder, as some might be feeling lonely. Have some laughs, and talk about everything and nothing.

Make sure to keep yourself hydrated. Wash your hands. Do not go outside unless you really have to.

COVID-19 has messed up our lives. However, 2, 3 weeks, or even months of social distancing won’t do us wrong. Contracting the disease and or infecting others is.

So make sure to be responsible and, as people say, stay home.

We can do this, we just have to bear it for now, as boring as it may be.

Hope this ultimate entertainment guide can, in some way, contribute to happier and more entertaining days. Remember, we are all in this together and we will overcome this together.

Stay safe!
