The KONOHANA: True Report Countdown event took place on April 21 and 22,
at the Denpa 5 Building in Akihabara. The small room had a few
Dreamcast and Playstation machines with KONOHANA set up to play. There
were also some goods on display (trading cards, book). 

They also passed out signed posters (first 50 people) and trading cards
(everyone) to those who reserved the game at nearby game stores.
KONOHANA: True Report will go on sale 4/26.

There was also a stage in the back of the room, where they held three
seiyuu talk shows during the day. 

Saturday
 13:30 - 14:30 | former Kira Melo girls
 15:30 - 16:30 | former Kira Melo girls
 17:30 - 18:30 | Kawasumi Ayako, producer
Sunday
 12:30 - 13:30 | former Kira Melo girls
 14:30 - 15:30 | former Kira Melo girls
 16:30 - 17:30 | former Kira Melo girls, producer

I went to the two Kira Melo stages on Saturday, and the last two Kira
Melo stages on Sunday. So I missed the first Kira Melo stage on
Sunday. All were basically the same, except for the details of the
talk show. 

The Kira Melo girls wore matching white short sleeve polo shirts, and
mini skirts. Almost all of the girls changed their mini skirts or hair
styles for each stage. I think Sara had a slight cold, as she was
coughing a lot during the stage. 

It was pretty cold and raining on Saturday, but it was warm (almost
hot) and sunny on Sunday. 

Each talk stage was around one hour. The first 10 minutes of the stage
consisted of a video introduction of KONOHANA, and some game and goods
information given out by the emcee. Then the seiyuu guests came onto
the stage and there was a talk show. After several minutes, the seiyuu
sang their song. Then there was some more talk and they also fielded
questions from the audience. After that, there was a game corner. They
chose people from the audience to play the game, and they gave
presents (KONOHANA goods, posters) to the winners. At the end, there
was a final short message by the seiyuu.

I post the details from each talk show separately.
