Trivia / Japan Animator Expo

---

• The Cast Showoff: Koichi Yamadera. Not only does he do the voices of roughly all the male (and some female) characters in the shorts, but he gets to sing in YAMADELOID. And man, can he sing.
• Covered Up: “Asian Pirates” (or "Asia no Kaizoku"), an old enka song, done for YAMADELOID.
• Crossdressing Voices: Yamadera as Alter Egova in Kanón, and Hayashibara as Tokio in Tokio and the Moon's Shadow.
• The Danza: Koichi Yamadera as YAMADELOID.
• Keep Circulating the Tapes:
  • Since the original website was taken down in early 2019, the only way to experience the shorts online is through recordings or illegal downloads. The site itself fares a little better, as it and the production materials featured on it can still be accessed through the Wayback Machine.
  • Cassette Girl was made available for a week on Studio Khara's YouTube channel to celebrate the 40th anniversary of DAICON IV, which the short homages.
• Market-Based Title:
  • Conte (Hitman) 1989 was called Comedy Skit 1989 for the Western release.
  • "Ragnarok" had the title "Hello from the Countries of the World" in its original language.
• Official Fan-Submitted Content: An official contest ran on Nico Nico Douga to find three different variant openings to run during shorts. The winners can be found here: Hikawa Prize winning short, Tsurumaki Prize winning short, Maeda Prize winning short
