Amisuke began July with her first venture into being a producer. She produced a little show at the Ginja club of the big karaoke chain Pasera. Ami and seiyuu guests sang anime songs of 1995. By all reports, the show went off well enough. Posters on 2channel said that the venue seemed full. The only complaints were from some attendees who wanted to sing more themselves. That sentiment was probably not widely shared.Below (l-r) Amisuke with her co-performers: her good friend Sanpei Yuuko (Renton in Eureka7, Souta in later episodes of Otogijushi Akazukin), Hanamura Satomi (Anise Azeat in Galaxy Angelune), and Abe Reiko (TV, radio, idol unit Pallet, Noriko in Strawberry Panic). Photo from Ami's blog.Below left is Ami with her special guest at the event, Kasahara Hiroko (Nanako in Oniisama-e, etc., etc., and singer of three OPs in 1995). A couple of days before the event, Ami went to karaoke to practice with her friends "Pe" (Sanpei Yuuko) and Mizusawa Fumie ( Wapourif in Simoun, Juliet in RomeoxJuliet). Fumie didn't look very Juliet-like as she sang with abandon: The next time we see Ami in her blog, she is at the hairdresser's, having her hair tamed. Two days later, Pe has a pic of herself in her own blog, getting hers cut: Amisuke is now co-host of "Saki Radio" with Ueda Kana (Yumi in Marimite, Hazumu in Kashimashi, etc., etc.). The show is publicity for the drama CD (and probably a future anime) based on the manga Saki, which is about two high school girls who are champion mah jong players. Here's a photo from the show's website, and one from Ami's blog, with guest Itou Shizuka (Rei in Marimite, Eika in Sky Girls, etc., etc.): Finally, just today, Ami gives us another in the continuing series of pictures showing the fated connection between her and her friend Pe. They happened to buy the same socks, with little strawberries on them. This goes with such things as the fact that they were born two weeks apart in 1986, and the fact that they both got exactly the same fortune at New Year's last year:
