On November 15th, Animate Umeda moved to NU Chayamachi and reopened! On November 14, voice actor Rin Tateishi spoke at the media preview!

To celebrate its 13th anniversary, Animate Umeda will move its business location to the 3rd floor of NU Chayamachi starting from November 15th.

The day before the new store opened, we were fortunate enough to attend a media preview and invite special guests, including the voice actors who participated in "BanG Dream!"
In this report, we will share the content of the event, including the guest’s impression of the new store and her talk about the works she participated in.

According to reports, Animate Umeda plans to have a grand opening in the spring of 2025. By then, the entire third floor will become Animate’s exclusive space. We look forward to your visit! During the interaction between the guests and the host, we learned about some of the updated highlights of the new store, as well as the outlook for the opening of the new store.

When asked what he thought of the upcoming opening of Animate Umeda, the guest said: "The moment I walked into the store, I felt very excited.
” She compared the new store to a theme park and believed that the design of the store made people feel like they were in a comic book world.

When mentioning the animation "BanG Dream! It's MyGO!!!!!" in which she participated, she expressed high expectations for the new TV animation series "BanG Dream! Ave Mujica".
She also shared some of the display installations she saw at Animate Umeda, as well as her thoughts on participating in "BanG Dream! It's MyGO!!!!!".

During the sharing process, we also learned about some information about upcoming new works and some related activities.
For example, from November 14 to December 13, NU Chayamachi’s in-house broadcast will feature the voices of guests at specific times, and this makes her very happy.

Finally, when asked what she would like to do if she had the opportunity to work at Animate, she said she would like to be a store manager for a day and be able to make announcements in the store so that shopping customers can hear.

Overall, this opening event was full of anticipation and excitement, and we look forward to Animate Umeda continuing to bring us more surprises and joy in its new location! Here, we also wish all animation fans to find more favorite works and characters in the new year!
