 * Yuuki, Taisho, and Ogawa were the hosts for the day. Yosuke Hayashi, Team Ninja producer, appears as a guest to introduce NINJA GAIDEN 3 and tried to make it appeal to the ladies watching. He stated that the staff wanted to create a realistic and different feeling game, one that had the potential to surpass the second game of the franchise. During the character introductions, shout outs to Kenyu Horiuchi and Wakana Yamazaki's roles in Angelique and Samurai Warriors were mentioned. Snippets of the first DLC trailer for the game was shown to conclude the brief segment. Hayashi's voice was extremely hard to hear during his time on the show, so it's hard to comment on his further thoughts regarding the title.


 * Ktl-episode2.jpg his brief segment, the hosts announced Neoromance Time! Angelique UFO dolls of the guardians decorated the desk. After the trailer, the characters in Kazahanaki and a rough outline of their stories were introduced. Taishou said he would want to cosplay as Rindou someday, something which the fans earnestly responded that they wanted to see. Recorded footage of Infini's newest performance was shown as well. Bonus photos of the group was shown, a few of which include a gag Hideyoshi, a serious Ryoma, and a rugged Toshizo. One of the Infini members will be appearing in Hyakuman-nin no Corda.


 * A survey regarding cherry blossoms was done live. Fans were asked if their blooming meant it should be a season for meetings (1) or the season for farewells (2). 72.7% favored 1 so the Infini members performed fanservicey messages themed to the winning vote. Sori and Kan will appear the next show.

 * Nico Nico Live (original address), Nico Nico Live (second address), Youtube archive
 * Channel α
 * The original broadcast started but concluded in two minutes time to fix audio issues. The official Twitter updated to inform viewers of their technical difficulties and to watch their Nico Nico Live channel for another link.


 * Before their guest appeared on the show, Katsura introduced real life photos of cities which appear in Daikoukai-jidai Online. He plays it himself and acts as a GM for the MMORPG, saying he plays it to relax. After the videos and products were covered, the newest trailer for Sangokushi 12 was shown before the game's producer, Ken Kitami, appeared to showcase the game. It is the first main installment of the series to feature fully voiced historical events. Kitami commented that he thought it was unfair that only select figures had revised portraits throughout the series, so he pushed to have new portraits for the entire cast in this title.


 * Ktl-channelαepisode2.jpgi had Sun Ce as the warlord for his demonstration. The overall presentation of the game somewhat resembles the one found in the series's ninth title. Unlike the last title, which had players constantly viewing their base of operations in close detail, this game returns to the overhead map seen in older titles within the series. Orders are located at the bottom of the screen. Players can click on each territory to view detailed information of officers held within. Characters hold their own station within the player's city and can be ordered individually by clicking on their portrait. Events can be triggered when a character reports at the player's castle, which is represented by a speech bubble icon.


 * He made Sun Ce attack Liu Yao to showcase the game's battle system. Units move to the player's command ala real-time strategy style. Strategies and attacks on a base's camp now have miniature cinematics to indicate their activation. Like Nobunaga's Ambition: Rise to Power, each war has its time limit which is indicated by the numbers in the upper left hand corner. A victory screen to compare the army's stats is shown when battles conclude. The lower left icons indicate the ally troops and the state of their activated strategy. Although Kitami said it wasn't something viewers should see, a Mobile Joy feature is in the game.


 * After the game's presentation, the hosts talked about their favorite figures in the game. Their portraits were shown as they talked. Katsura favored Sun Ce for his boldness and his compassion for his friends and loved ones. Kitami said Zhao Yun since he was a character he used a lot when he first played the Romance of the Three Kingdoms series; afterwards he liked Zhao Yun after reading the novel. He commented that Kou Shibusawa apparently really likes Zhao Yun as well and that's the reason for his handsome image and high stats in the series. Suzukawa said Gan Ning for the bells he wears is something she could relate to (bells being suzu in Japanese and a pun of her name), but she also remarked she prefers old man characters too. G.Mee said he likes Cao Cao, but he really likes Jia Xu since he admired the latter's guts to assassinate Cao Cao. He also had a fun, personal episode of creating characters in the series with his friends regarding Jia Xu.


 * The survey's results were: Katsura (Sun Ce): 26.3%, Kitami (Zhao Yun): 25.3%, Suzukawa (Gan Ning): 17.9%, and G.Mee (Jia Xu): 30.6%. Viewers who email the program have a chance to win the game's artbook.

Episode 4

 * Nico Nico Live, USTREAM, Youtube archive
 * Channel β
 * Infini members, Sori and Kan, and Kuon appeared in this episode. Kuon apologized for not being in the second episode due to his sudden cold. The hosts touched on the Taishou cosplay idea from the previous episode and even showed Tadayoshi's unmasked portrait for uninformed viewers. They agreed that he looked a lot like Taishou and would be a better fit for him than Rindou. Sori and Kan said they might convince Taishou to change his outfit. A recorded company party and one of the developers' karoke sessions was shown, which included a band performance with Keiko Erikawa, Yosuke Hayashi, Hisashi Koinuma, and six other members. Saya and Infini also sang for those present.


 * For the new game segment, Takumi Ogawa from the previous episode returned to the show. He said his alias as Takumi may or may not change for future episodes. A short recorded message for viewers from Masaya Takatsuka was played; he mainly talked about his excitement for the series and his thanks for being to perform characters for it.


 * Ktl-channelβepisode3.jpgNeoromance Time! began with an introduction of Kin'iro no Corda. The games have been displayed on their desk since the start of the program. Kan said he has been playing the romance simulations lately and commented that he's really getting into the franchise. When the established cast of Hyakuman-nin no Kin'iro no Corda was introduced, most of the Nico Nico comments were fans raving over their favorite characters as they were introduced. The hosts actively pointed out their comments for Shimizu and Yunoki. A small tidbit for the exclusive character, Shouma Fudoh, was stated for the show.


 * The game was then played live using its Mobage service. Kan named his protagonist Soriko and they progressed through the opening scene. Like most games in the series, the player can choose which character they wish to practice with first. Practicing with a character boosts the protagonist's stats for a musical theme, levels up the avatar, and increases their affinity with the selected character (in this case, Kan chose Tsuchiura). When their affinity rating reaches max for the avatar's level, the character can be invited watch their musical competition. Competitions are a quick-time event like session similar to the series's third title. A character event can take place for those who win. Other events were mentioned after their short play session. Still illustrations from the social game were shown for the currently romanceable cast, including the holiday themed images for Christmas, Valentine's Day, and White Day.


 * A new character for the game (Junya Niwa, 丹羽淳也) voiced by Sori was introduced. Although only the rough illustrations were shown, the hosts commented that his character looked a lot like him. He performed a short character quote for viewers as well. A brief rundown of his character was stated: he is a 23 year-old band member who seems cold to his fans. The hosts said more information will be available when the game is updated to include him. Kan said that there needs to be a character with a Kansai accent for the series, which is a character he said he would be willing to do. Interested fans agreed with him on the Nico Nico Live stream and their comments were acknowledged by the hosts.


 * This survey asked fans their preference for men out of the two choices. Either "a person who never changes his appearance or personality" (1) or "a person who is entirely different than how they appear" (2). 81.7% favored 2 so the Infini members performed fanservicey messages themed to the winning vote. Kuon was asked to do one as well, but he bowed out of the proposition.

 * Channel α


 * The hosts remembered their favorite characters and events from the Three Kingdoms era as a call back to Episode 3. G.Mee remarked that he really got into the genre again and looked up various movies and other works centered on the historical period. Saya came on the show for the first time to introduce new product information for the company. Recorded footage of her performance at the company party for new recruits was played after her introduction to the show. The only downloadable content shown this time was the Okuni episode in Pokémon Plus Nobunaga no Yabou and the Musou Orochi 2 crossover images for Masamune, Keiji, and Nene.


 * Ktl-channelαepisode3.jpg Tsuchiura (director) and Ai Kakuma (Ion) appeared for the Ciel nosurge segment. The director briefly introduced the title to uninformed viewers, stressing that it is a game centering on communication. While the director showed how to play the game, Kakuma insisted that she called Ion for the show. He says that the game was conceptualized about two years ago, before the Vita was presented. Tsuchiura thinks the console allows for a deeper sense of immersion for players through its touch screen and first person presentation. Nico Nico viewers often remarked at how quickly he tapped the screen to skip the game's script, some complaining while others laughed at the sudden video cuts away from the PSV to avoid showing spoilers.


 * Unlike other playthroughs in the past, Tsuchiura briefly showcased the fairies and the method of unlocking character events. He insists there are many secrets within the game that can be unlocked with its real time system, but he wants players to decide for themselves. At most, Tsuchiura only wants to inform viewers of the world's features. A video recorded message from Cath and Kanon's voice actors was shown as well. They both performed character messages for those watching. Kakuma performed quotes from the game as Nico Nico viewers typed "tap,tap,tap" (as though they were touching Ion). When the quotes edged towards the game's mature rating, Katsura cut her off and asked for her thoughts regarding the game. Both guests hope interested viewers buy the game and enjoy it for themselves.


 * The trailer for Shin Sangoku Musou VS played to usher Tsuchiura and Kakuma's exit, and Kenichi Ogasawara (producer) appeared to replace them. He said 300,000 people have downloaded the trial version mentioned at the end of the video. After he gave a brief introduction of the title, pre-recorded gameplay footage of the Story Mode was featured. Ogasawara explained that players can switch between with their own character and unique playable characters even in Story Mode. They can do so by touching the corresponding character icons on the 3DS touch screen. The three character team still applies in this mode. Their scheduled Versus Mode tournament was canceled to avoid prolonging the program.


 * Viewers can win either Ai Kakuma's autograph (3 available) or Sangokushi 12's original soundtrack (3 available).

 * Ktl-channelβepisode4.jpgou, Yuuki, and Kuon were the hosts of the show. The program froze nine times during the 80 minute broadcast; waits for the retried recordings in between freezes varied from 5 minutes to 15 minutes. The first three times the program froze the hosts performed humorous poses to re-introduce themselves. The sixth time the video played but there was no sound. To answer the viewers' confusion, the company posted a question mark on the screen rather than the usual company logo. Due to technical difficulties, the majority of the planned program was canceled.


 * Whilst the program experienced difficulties, Nico Nico Live viewers were given various apologies and thanks for their patience from the company employees. They also wrote that a new live event was going to be announced once their end was repaired. One of the popular guesses for the event's theme was a Kuon Festival. Neoromance fans also chatted about their favorite franchises/characters/merchandise or so on –including multiple requests they had– to pass the time.


 * The hiccups for the broadcast had fans jokingly blame lurking Tanatos, Ereboros (Neo Angelique), a curse, Akram, and/or Onryou (Harukanaru Toki no Naka de). Therefore a flood of comments had viewers pleading for an Aube Hunter or a priestess to purify them pronto. When the question mark screen was put up, viewers wanted Ernst (Angelique) to explain the situation. Realistically fans postulated that difficulties were caused due to the show being scheduled during Golden Week, which is the most likely reason for the troubled recordings. Over 2,000 viewers remained on Nico Nico Live, even when the broadcast was frozen after an hour of waiting.


 * The new event is Neoromance ♥ Festa 13 which is scheduled to take place on July 28th and 29th. This time characters from Sengoku Musou will appear in it; this makes it the first official stage event in which Neoromance characters mingle and interact with any character from the Warriors franchises. The announcement was quickly announced by Kuon and Taishou held up a whiteboard which had the scribbled information of the event on it. A website was promised to be up before the program crashed again. Information regarding the participants was promised soon after, but the company posted a message five minutes later stating that they would instead have their farewell message. The hosts apologized once more but said they were looking forward to the next episode.

 * The show began with Suzukawa and G.Mee sharing photos of what they did during Golden Week. Suzukawa included a photo of one of her performances and said it was a thrilling experience for her. Katsura joked that G.Mee's photo in the tub made him look like Oda Nobunaga and jokingly called him "Milord" while it was up for viewing.


 * A video recorded report by Taishou and Yuuki was shown in front of a Tsutaya outlet. Their report took place two days before the simultaneous purchase dates for Ciel nosurge and Shin Sangoku Musou VS (April 26th). Both Infini hosts showed off the store's detailed displays for the video games. They also had the manager of the outlet, Sonobe, speak his personal thoughts for both games. He thought both titles offered something new for either the franchise's availability for the console (Shin Sangoku Musou VS) or a player experience (Ciel nosurge). Footage of Saya's recorded performance at the company party was shown again.


 * Ktl-channelαepisode4.jpg opening movie of the latest expansion, Tierra Americana, was shown before the show's special guests were introduced. They were Tomokazu Takeda, one of the current producers for Daikoku-jidai Online, and Takeshi Atsumi, former producer and current division manager. Katsura immediately thanked Takeda and his team for their hard work since he plays it himself frequently. After they briefly summarized the MMORPG, Takeda offered to play his character online to demonstrate.


 * Takeda explained city features to viewers and then set sail to show off his ship and game's sea exploration. He tried to show off Zipang (Japan) to viewers. Players who were logged in at the time in the same server excitingly greeted Takeda once he logged in to offer their condolences. He explained that producer meet and greets with players have occurred on a frequent basis throughout the MMORPG's run, and he was pleased by the player feedback they received in-game. So many players were on at once that he couldn't really show off all of the features as he had planned, such as the game's bazaar system. The memorial cup campaign and the new Egyptian areas were briefly mentioned and shown for viewers.


 * Atsumi followed with a live playthrough of the social game my GAMECITY. Nyabraham Linnyahn appeared on the show as a special guest and waving his hands excitingly at viewers. Atsumi showed off the town building and adventure segments of the title. He also visited the Koei-Tecmo LIVE! GAMECITY community to show off the other social networking services offered with my GAMECITY.

 * Sori, Kan, Taishou, Yuuki, and Kuon were the hosts for this Neoromance themed episode. Information which couldn't been reported in the last episode was added into this program. Takumi introduced the news from a different screen. The Infini hosts remarked he sounded a bit nervous by himself, like he was in his own dimension. For the first time in the show, music from Neoromance games were played in the background. Angelique étoile and Harukanaru Toki no Naka de 2 music in particular was played during the special guest segment.


 * Sori's voice audition and voice actor training for Junya Niwa, his character in Hyakuman-nin no Kin'iro no Corda. Both he and G.Mee were instructed by Micheal Shitaanda (Ernest Satow). Sori explained that G.Mee tagged along because he wanted to learn for future projects, but he didn't elaborate. Shitaanda coached both actors to project their performances without using their bodies, which Sori said was a little difficult for him to grasp. A recorded message from Shitaanda to Sori and G.Mee was played. He replied they both have promise as actors and hoped they could put the same passion they have for acting into their vocal performances.


 * This week's guests are a part of the upcoming theatrical adaptation of Harukanaru Toki no Naka de 2. The founder of Z Dan and director of the play, Toshihiro Kitamura, will appear with Yoshihiko Narimatsu (Minamoto no Yoritada) and Kazumi Doi (Taira no Katsuzane). Kitamura showed off some of the pictures on his Twitter. Doi expressed his confidence as Katsuzane while Narimatsu expressed his enjoyment for the many hours of practice he does. Kitamura said that there will be multiple endings for this particular version of the play just to spice things up.


 * Narimatsu commented that he wanted to be a cooler Yoritada for fans than the one in the first performance. Kitamura reported that this might be the last time Ire Shiozaki (Akram) will work with him, so everyone is trying their hardest to give him a proper send off. Doi's message was dedicated to asking and encouraging fans to see the plays.


 * Ktl-channelβepisode5.jpg After the guests left, a run-through of the different Neoromance events was said to celebrate the newest upcoming one. Yuuki admitted that he was still in grade school when the first one was shown, which earned some nervous reactions from the other hosts. Kuon says his first time acting as a MC for the Neoromance event was the 2002 event at Osaka and he was glad when fans on Nico Nico Live commented that they were there. The Infini members humorously reminisced about what they did in their early years around the time the events began, each saying different stories. The Infini members express their hopes to be included into the upcoming event. Kuon said that fans who wanted Infini into the event should clap (8888) and cutely "boo" if they think it's too soon. He said the event coordinators might take a look at the results later to determine if they'll be in or not.


 * The first survey this time around asked viewers which Infini member seemed to have a different personality than their appearance implied. 53% voted for Yuuki. Yuuki was surprised since he thought someone like Sori or Taishou would win the voting. Infini members then shared their photos for the cherry blossoms this year. G.Mee's photo was included as well in which he posed before the statue of an unspecified historical figure. Another survey was held for Nico Nico Live viewers to see which photo they appreciated the most. Taishou won as the most favored with his funky tennis cosplay. He performed a silly victory pose but the hosts nitpicked that his head was cut off from the camera.


 * Viewers were asked one last time where they would have liked to have gone during Golden Week, Europe or Asia. Europe was the winner with a 80% voting percentage. The four hosts then performed a sweet message themed to an European themed vacation. They also performed a flower message line from Hyakuman-nin no Kin'iro no Corda. Infini members also added a plug for their live event series for next month.

 * Channel α
 * Pokémon Plus Nobunaga no Yabou themed episode with Pokémon Company's public relations representative, Yui Kawaguchi, appearing as a guest. G.Mee commented that he remembers first seeing photos of the game's booth when it was first online, stating that many people thought it was a joke. As a fan of the Nobunaga no Yabou series, he was expressed his sincere interest for the crossover. Although he recognized the Samurai Warriors character designs, he emphasized his preference for the franchise in the game's title.


 * Kawaguchi narrated the game's overall layout to pre-recorded gameplay footage. The footage takes place at the beginning of the game at with a female protagonist training against wild Pokémon. Motochika and Motonari are already in her party and were emphasized during the fighting segments. When the gameplay footage ended, Yukimura and Masamune's two costumes within the game were introduced. Viewers voted to see two more characters in their Bushou forms, who were Gracia and Ina. The online comic and Ranmaru's episode were briefly introduced as well. Merchandise for the game currently available in Japan's Pokémon Centers was brought for viewing. They are shown in full within this episode's after show photo and are given out as presents for e-mailing viewers.


 * Not to be outdone by Taishou and Yuuki's video report, G.Mee and Suzukawa had a pre-recorded video report of the Koei-Tecmo building at Kohoku-ku, Yokohama. Katsura explained the interview room, the cafeteria, the inspirational plaque, and the company's trophy room. He also showed his guests the pixel art Nobunaga. Katsura commented that they might show the Kanagawa building next, which received favorable support by viewers on Nico Nico Live.

 * Taishou, Yuuki, and Kuon appeared this episode. Neoromance music continued to be played in the background throughout the program, implying that it will continue to be a show trait for channel β. A completely new music track was sneaked into the show according to the after show commentary, but its source material was not specified to viewers. Unlike other broadcasts in the past, completely new announcements were introduced. They can be seen in the news coverage section.


 * This episode's theme is "character image songs". There is a total of 532 character image songs for the Neoromance characters alone (at the time of the show's broadcast). After a brief rundown of the various CDs released, recorded footage of one of Kenyu Horiuchi's performances as Oscar was played. The hosts asked viewers which song they liked the most from Oscar, and Yoru o Hajime yo proved to be one of the popular ones. Eiji Takemoto's performance for Ouchi Fukuchi's solo song was played as well. Yuuya Uchida's video recorded performance for Akihiko Kira was also up for viewing.


 * Ktl-channelβepisode6.jpg Neoromance anniversary songs, Boku-tachi no Anniversary and promised rainbow, were briefly played as well over the hosts. They asked which character image their viewers preferred, and the Nico Nico live broadcast was filled with a flood of comments from fans naming their favorites. They even clapped to the second song as it played. Kuon announced that the Infini members are scheduled to dedicate two live performances songs for the upcoming festival before ending the segment.


 * Fan mail was read, one of which requested for Yang-san to appear on the show. Another asked the hosts what sports they enjoyed, which they answered live for viewers. A viewer survey was held for whether Yuuki or Taishou looked fitting for sports. Taishou "won" the vote so he performed a "happy victory rugby pose" for the audience, which was jokingly criticized by his fellow hosts.


 * Yuuki introduced a new corner for the show dedicated to announcing the birthdays of Neoromance voice actors or characters. The birthdays included every character/voice actor whose birthdays are at the end of May or in June. A few of those listed include Sazaki, Zephel, and Soichiro Hoshi. Congratulatory birthday wishes were said for them.


 * The theme of this fanservicey message reading is "If you're down, what would you like to hear to cheer you up: passionate encouragement or gentle words of praise?" The later won with a 57%. After Yuuki and Taishou said their quotes, Kuon bowed yet again from joining them. Several fans on Nico Nico Live chimed for him to join someday with "Not yet, Kuon-san?" becoming the fan added video tag for this episode. Unlike previous episodes, Kuon noticed the fan reaction and answered by politely apologizing to them. Infini members also added a plug for their live event series for next month.
