■=LOVE's Iori Noguchi and Haraichi’s Iwai Enthusiastically Share Their "Oshi" Talks

In the episode #43 aired on April 11, 2025 (Friday), welcoming Iori Noguchi from =LOVE and Murakami from Magical Lovely, the show began with the "My Recommended Writing" corner where guests discussed their life’s "oshi" related to anime.

Noguchi introduced Ren Jinguji, a glamorous and popular character from the 'Uta no Prince-sama' series, as her favorite character. In this Shibuani episode, the teen heart-throb idol story 'Uta no Prince-sama Maji LOVE 1000%' was featured, and Noguchi passionately discussed the charm of her "oshi".

"All the characters are rich in personality, and they're an amusing group of guys who have something off about them. As I mentioned earlier, Ren Jinguji is my favorite character, but there's another irreplaceable presence for me, and that's Sho Kurusu," says Noguchi. She mentions Sho Kurusu’s stylish and cute appearance but strong-willed and hardworking nature, saying, "Sho-kun was the first character I liked in 'Uta no Prince-sama', and he became my entry point to loving the series. The first CD I ever bought was Sho-kun's." She fervently shared, "Sho Kurusu is truly a good guy. That's why I genuinely believe that marrying Sho Kurusu would definitely make someone happy."

As for her favorite scenes, she introduced the line by Haruka Nanami, which symbolizes 'Uta no Prince-sama', "Illuminating the darkness, making flowers bloom on barren land, letting the heart soar into the sky. Music changes the world."

"This line is said in episode 1 of the anime and before concerts, and isn't it amazing that 'music changes the world'? I happened to hear a 'Uta☆Pri' song on TV and lightning struck through my body. I didn't even know this line, but encountering the music truly changed my world!" she said, introducing 'Maji LOVE 1000%', which was the main theme of the first season and recorded a big hit upon release.

She carried out an exciting "oshi" talk with fellow 'Uta☆Pri' lover, Iwai from Haraichi.
