which was an event by the seiyuu of the production Dream Japan.
There were a couple guest seiyuu from other productions too.
There were songs, skits, and various acts by the guests,
and it was a very long 3.5 hour event.

The Kakushigei Taikai (showing off hidden talents) was a contest between
the red team and the white team.
It flowed as follows.

  -  [red] Mizuno Saya - drawing a picture of Chibi Maruko-chan and
     Gotou Serika
  -  [white] Niina Mai - singing/dancing a Matsuura Aya song
  -  [red] Andou Natsu - card magic
  -  [white] Ishii Rena - singing a Matsuda Seiko song
  -  [red] Yamasaki Maki - drinking a glass of cola (fast)
  -  [white] Minami Chiharu - playing okarina (musical instrument)
  -  [red] Mizuki Sanae, Yamasaki Maki, Andou Natsu - scary talk
  -  [white] Hirata Yukino, Minami Chiharu - skit
  -  [red] Renka - streching
  -  [white] Shindou Mayumi - sword play
  -  [red] Mizuki Sanae - sing an Onegai Teacher song
  -  [white] Hirata Yukino - sing a Gotou Maki song

The winner of the Kakushigei Taikai was the red team, and the most
valuable player was Renka.

For the first songs, Mizuno Saya wore a pink frilly top, and short shorts.
For her duet with Rena, she wore a black T-shirt, mini skirt, black socks,
and pink sneakers.  For the Famires Senshi Purin songs, Saya wore her
orange Famires Senshi outfit.

After Ishii Rena's good-bye message, everyone came out one by one
to give her a flower, and say a short message.
Most of the girls were pretty sad, but they didn't cry.
Mizuno Saya was crying (a lot) and she couldn't say anything.

At the end of the event, all of the girls pulled a number out of a box
for the presents.  The presents were all anime DVDs (adult anime).
I got a present from Andou Natsu,
and it was the Famires Senshi Purin volume 1 DVD.

Photos not allowed during the event.
They allowed photos after the event, as the girls sold various goods.
