Voice actress Aoi Yuki, known for her leading role in the anime "Senki Zesshou Symphogear" series, has shared some behind-the-scenes stories. The series is renowned for its intense shouting performances by the cast, and Yuki has revealed some "secrets of the script" unique to this work.

Starting in April, "Hologoe!" began airing on ABEMA. This regular program features talents from the VTuber agency "Hololive Production" and voice actors teaming up from Monday to Friday, showcasing various projects. The voice actors appear in unique virtual forms for the show and engage in various segments with the VTubers.

In the episode broadcasted on July 29, a segment called "Hologoe Chuunibyou Senryu" was held, where senryu poems that would delight "chuunibyou" individuals were presented. A passionate reading of the submission, "The fists we connect, Fubaao, Symphogeeeaaaar!!!" led Fubuki Shirakami to interject, "Isn't that Symphogear!" Aoi Yuki retorted, "Are you saying Symphogear is chuunibyou?" but immediately admitted, "Well, yes, that's the appeal."

The "Senki Zesshou Symphogear" series, which began airing in 2012, is a story about battles over the weaponized "Symphogear," which releases power when the "armed gear users" sing in harmony. The series is beloved for its intense plot developments and the fiery shouting performances of its cast.

Aoi Yuki, who plays the protagonist Hibiki Tachibana in the series, was delighted to hear Fubuki's "Symphogeeeaaaar!!!" but, knowing the effort it takes, empathized, saying, "That actually puts quite a strain on the body." Yuki revealed a behind-the-scenes tidbit: "Recently, the script actually writes it as 'Symphogeevaaaaar!!!'" to which Fubuki laughed, "It does sound like 'Vaaaaar!!!' It really is 'Vaaaaar!!!'"
