Official Report: "Der Film" 10th Anniversary Screening Stage Greeting

Fuchigami appeared in a pink dress, while Taketatsu wore a monotone one-piece dress. When Fuchigami called out "Hello!", the audience energetically responded "Hello!" in return. Following Fuchigami, who received applause after calling out "Finally, the 10th anniversary of 'der Film' has arrived! I'm very happy. Let's have a fun time!", Taketatsu, making her first appearance at a "GuP" stage greeting, shyly greeted the audience asking "Do you know me?", then said "I'm nervous being here for the first time, but please go easy on me!" As she looked around at the audience where laughter was spilling out, she showed a smile.

"Girls und Panzer der Film" celebrated exactly 10 years on November 21st, the day before this stage greeting, and the two called out "Congratulations!" to the fans in the venue. While "Congratulations!" echoed from the audience, Fuchigami reflected deeply that 10 years was "a long time!" When Fuchigami commented "A child who was 0 years old becomes 10 years old. Life changes about twice (laughs)," the MC delivered a sharp retort saying "It might be different depending on the generation (laughs)," causing both the audience and Fuchigami to burst into laughter.

Responding that "10 years sounds long," Fuchigami smiled and said "But it felt like it passed in the blink of an eye. I guess my life has been fulfilling," and after reflecting once more on the 10 years saying "There were various things...", she introduced "And Ayana Taketatsu is standing here!" Taketatsu, who answered "I'm happy to hear you say that," conveyed her honest feelings saying "People who love 'GuP' are super hardcore fans, so I'm nervous as a newcomer," which drew big applause from the audience. Looking back, Taketatsu said "I've written interview comments and such, but this is different from being out in front like this!" At this, Fuchigami called out "This is a special stage!" as a renewed introduction, and the venue was enveloped in even bigger applause and cheers.
