Every third Tuesday of the month, the web program “Eguchi Takuya・Nishiyama Koutarou Konya mo Nemurasenai Kindan Shiri Radio” (affectionately known as “Kindanketsu”) delivers roughly 90 minutes of live content. On May 19, 2026, co-host and voice actor Eguchi Takuya celebrated his 39th birthday with a special event titled “Thank You! Eguchi!!” held at Club Camelot in Tokyo’s Shibuya district.
The event’s defining catchphrase—”Pashapasha shitai” (I want to pashapasha)—first emerged during the program’s 10th anniversary broadcast last October. Fans chanted “I want to pashapasha with Nishiyama-san,” “I want to pashapasha with Shiri-jin,” and “I want to pashapasha with Eguchi-san,” turning the phrase into a powerful call-and-response that amplified the celebratory mood.
Unusually for a voice actor event, the venue was a rented Shibuya nightclub. The organizers went all-out: four sessions of 150 people each, for a total of 600 attendees. Each session was a tight 15 minutes including entry and exit, with a carefully orchestrated flow of pre-registration, reassembly, lining up, and the main event. Despite the packed schedule, the operation ran smoothly—a testament to thorough planning and the cooperation of the audience, who helped create the event’s unique atmosphere.
What Is Kindan Shiri Radio?
“Eguchi Takuya・Nishiyama Koutarou Konya mo Nemurasenai Kindan Shiri Radio” is a web program that began in October 2015. It airs live on Niconico Live every third Tuesday at 10 PM, featuring the two hosts drinking, chatting with guests, and enjoying their distinctive banter. The show celebrated its 10th anniversary last October and is now in its 11th year. “Thank You! Eguchi!!” brought that same radio atmosphere into a real-world event.
Possibly the Last Eguchi Takuya Birthday Event Draws 600 on a Weeknight
Eguchi himself stated that he does not plan to hold any more birthday events in the future, making this gathering especially precious. Despite being held on a weekday evening, 600 listeners traveled from across the country to attend.

The four sessions each held 150 attendees, and the entire process from reception to exit was remarkably efficient. The smooth flow reflected not only the staff’s careful preparation but also the listeners’ willingness to cooperate—a sign of the strong bond built over the program’s ten-year history.
“Pashapasha Shitai” Unites the Floor: 15 Minutes of Excitement from Eguchi Boys, Nishiyama, and Eguchi
Before the event began, the “Eguchi Boys”—junior male voice actors from the same agency 81 Produce as Eguchi and Nishiyama—warmed up the crowd with call practice, heightening anticipation. Their fresh energy set the stage for the main act.
Attendees lining up before the session
When the show’s main hosts finally appeared, Nishiyama Koutarou took charge immediately, adopting a high-energy “gal” persona and leading the audience in chants. The centerpiece was the “Pashapasha shitai” call-and-response, expanding from “I want to pashapasha with Nishiyama-san” to include “Shiri-jin” and Eguchi himself.
Nishiyama’s outfit—a loose pink hippo costume (a motif from the show) paired with a “Happy Birthday” sash—radiated celebratory joy. In contrast, Eguchi wore a black hoodie with a “HAPPY BIRTHDAY” glass pendant, offering a more understated but still playful look. As the crowd’s enthusiasm grew, Eguchi seemed almost overwhelmed by the warmth directed at him, creating an amusing dynamic.
Despite the tight 15-minute window, the event packed in plenty of energy. Different sessions had distinct flavors: some shouted straightforward congratulations, others urged a slightly flustered Eguchi to “keep going!” while still others roared like a sports club. After the main segment, both hosts saw off each attendee individually, making eye contact and expressing gratitude. Many left smiling, clearly satisfied with the experience.
Merchandise Adds to the Fun: Fans Show Their Unique Support
The event also featured a lineup of exclusive merchandise, including stylish T-shirts, nine-color peach-shaped ring lights (each color carrying a different message for Eguchi), and event-specific fans perfect for cheering. Attendees decorated their fans with holograms and lace, adding personal touches. The pouch featuring Eguchi’s and Nishiyama’s animal motifs (hippo and anteater) was carefully crafted, even down to the tails and rears. A plush toy with interchangeable clothes catered to the growing trend of DIY doll accessories.

The merchandise became an integral part of the experience, with fans wearing multiple ring lights and holding up creatively decorated fans—showcasing the diverse ways they support their favorites.
Four Shows in One Hour: The Intensity Fits Kindanketsu’s Style
Special “Pasha Water” prepared for the event
Running four shows in one hour on a weekday evening required precise coordination, and the success demonstrated the strength of the community built over a decade. Attendees were handed custom “Pasha Water” bottles at reception, adding to the playful mystery of the phrase. Even without fully understanding “pashapasha,” participants quickly joined in the chant and the overall fun—a testament to the show’s inclusive spirit.
The full event footage (members-only version) includes backstage clips of Eguchi and Nishiyama and scenes from after the “pashapasha” ended. Now in its 11th year, “Kindan Shiri Radio” continues to surprise. Whether through live broadcasts or events like this, the chemistry between Eguchi and Nishiyama and their lively conversations with guests remain major draws.
