Abareru-kun Becomes a Movie Voice Actor! He Will Be Playing "Onigohri"!!




Abareru-kun is well known from the "Pokémon no Uchi Atsumaru?" show airing on the TV Tokyo Network, among other things!
In one of the segments on the show, he has been been putting in extreme effort on a daily basis for the purpose of becoming a Pokémon movie voice actor, and now he has finally succeeded!

For about two months, Abareru-kun studied voice acting, including being taught the basics and know-how of voice acting by Satoshi's voice actor Rica Matsumoto, before shockingly going directly to director Kunihiko Yuyama himself! The director was touched by Abareru-kun's dedication and okayed an appearance in the movie as a special favor to him!



Abareru-kun will be playing the voice of "Onigohri"!
Onigohri is one of the members of the "Mega Evolution Army" led by "Azoth Kingdom"'s Cabinet Minister Jarvis, who acts as Satoshi and his friend's antagonist. This Onigohri is being mind controlled through the use of incredible scientific power and is also forced to mega evolve. How will Abareru-kun play this role!?

The announcement that he was going to be a guest voice actor was made as a complete surprise to him, and can be seen on the episode of "Pokémon no Uchi Atsumaru?" that airs Sunday May 22nd!
"Pokémon no Uchi Atsumaru?" airs every Sunday at 8am on the TV Tokyo Network!

Karakara's personal history about how it wears the bones of its mother after she died and left it really touches me emotionally. I like this Pokémon because it feels like me in some respects.

Because it can be used in battle in a variety of ways depending on how you raise it, but it being a mythical Pokémon means it's been given out relatively few times. Also, it's cute.

And it has sharp claws?

And its name starts with an N?

What? And its body is black, with one of its ears being red?

It's been my favorite Pokémon ever since the first games: I love how cool looking its body shape is and how it's the fastest swimmer of them all. I wish I could make it shoot a Hyper Beam in real life.

Nyarth's Pokémon Elections Diary #18: Hibiya Station on the Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line has the 720 Pokémon Lined Up Now as Well!



Shortly after the Rayquaza-class panorama display appeared at JR Ikebukuro Station,
posters appeared at Hibiya Station as well!



They're at Hibiya Station on the Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line!
A long row of posters at the platform for Naka-Meguro-bound trains are now "Pokémon Election 720" posters!



It's incredible! There's a total of 15 posters featuring 48 Pokémon each, thus having all 720 Pokémon running in the "Pokémon Elections 720" between them!

It'd be nice if people with no idea what Pokémon to vote for were to send in a vote for a Pokémon that just happen to catch their eye on one of the posters.



Of course, it'd also be nice if they voted for me.
Don't hold back, now!!

Please give me a voooote!
