Tokyo Encounter	comment	Tokyo Encounter (æ�±äº¬ã‚¨ãƒ³ã‚«ã‚¦ãƒ³ãƒˆ), or Tokyo Encount, is a 30 min show that airs two times every three months on AT-X's night programming in Japan. It's about seiyuu Tomokazu Sugita and Yūichi Nakamura playing video games. Unlike Shinya Arino in GameCenter CX, Sugita and Nakamura don't have to finish the games they're playing, so they spend most of the time riffing them and playing them with some of their seiyuu friends and co-workers.The show started in May 2010 and initially ended February 2013. However, a special episode called Die... Tokyo Encounter aired in January 2014 and the second season, Tokyo Encounter Nii, has been airing since May 2014. Nii has featured two Gaiden episodes as an extension to the normal episodes, one for episode 30, and one for episode 48, both of which were aired one month later. Both Gaiden episodes had a major segment that took the majority of those episodes' time, the first featured Tokyo Encounter Dai-Nenpyou ("Tokyo Encounter: Big Chronology"), and the second featured Watashi no Takaramono Encounter ("My Treasure Encounter"). In June 2020, during the COVID-19 crisis, the show aired two Clip Show specials featuring the highlights of the series up to this point.While the show is hosted by Sugita and Nakamura, sometimes guest players will appear and play with them. All players aren't professional, but they enjoy playing video games privately. During the show, they always talk either about the games they are playing or about their job or private life, which gives the show a homely atmosphere. The guest players appear in two episodes that are aired in the same month. The games vary in all genres, platforms and age. Also, between the main games, Sugita and Nakamura play minigames with each other that are prepared by the studio staff, where they can win prizes and/or points.For the list of the seiyuu featured in this series, see this sheet here.

Tokyo Encounter / int_1ba17583	type	The Ghost
Tokyo Encounter / int_1ba17583	comment	The Ghost: Since it's a show about seiyuu playing games, a lot of them are mentioned, but do not appear in the show. Houko Kuwashima is the most frequently mentioned seiyuu. Sugita very fond of her. In Die... Tokyo Encounter, she eventually makes an appearance in a video message. Norio Wakamoto is mentioned several times. He's even impersonated by Sugita, Nakamura and Sakurai. Sugita still impersonates him from time to time. Sphere, a unit between Aki Toyosaki, Haruka Tomatsu, Ayahi Takagaki and Minako Kotobuki, is often mentioned during the show. Sugita and Nakamura really want to have them as guests. Eventually, Tomatsu and Toyosaki do appear in episodes 51 and 52. When Sphere fan Eguchi shows up instead of one of the Sphere members, Sugita responds with Takagaki being not 180cm tall. Nobuyuki Hiyama is sometimes mentioned, mostly because of his roles in the games they play. Sugita jokes that the character Mezu from Savage Reign has the last name "Toyoguchi" because it sounds similar to "Megu". Shigeru Chiba is mentioned when Sugita, Nakamura and Sakurai play YuYu Hakusho. Hikaru Midorikawa (who would later become a guest himself), Masaya Onosaka, Takehito Koyasu, Fumihiko Tachiki and Kikuko Inoue are mentioned in the Okiayu episodes. Episode 68 features the game Deka Voice where Tachiki played the protagonist. Of course, the seiyuus pick this up immediately. During the Die... Tokyo Encounter special, Sugita compares Nakamura's depiction of the Neo-Geo logo as Yuu Kobayashi's drawing. Onosaka, Koyasu and Mitsuki Saiga are mentioned during the 30-sho Gaiden special and they apparently recommended Miyano to play Monster Hunter. Akio Ōtsuka in episode 10. Hitomi Nabatame by Koshimizu and later by Sugita. Hōchū Ōtsuka is mentioned when Nakamura, Sugita and Shimono discuss if they are old and middle-aged men. When Sugita, Nakamura and Shimono play Ikki Online, Sugita makes a Pun of bamboo spear ("takeyari") and Taketatsu, and he keeps saying "Taketatsu" whenever he uses a bamboo spear. After the game, Sugita suggests he should probably write an apology letter to I'm Enterprise (Taketatsu's agency). Saori Hayami is mentioned a few times. Of course, at one point, Sho Hayami has to be mentioned. Kosuke Toriumi is mentioned in episode 15 because there is an enemy called "Kousuke". They call an enemy "Abe-san" in the same game. Toriumi is mentioned a few times again in episode 33. Miyu Irino is mentioned in episode 16 and in 30-sho Gaiden. Hiroshi Kamiya gave Sugita "Let's TV play" controllers from the Plug it series, which appear in episode 16. He is mentioned several times before and after that, too. Akira Ishida is described by Sugita, Nakamura and Yuuki as a man who is untouchable and has a strong AT-Field. Rie Kugimiya is mentioned by Sugita when he, Nakamura and Yuuki talk about Akira Ishida (see above). Sugita, Kugimiya and Ishida went on an udon shop; when Ishida ate nabeyuki udon and said "It's hot!", Kugimiya laughed. He mentions her sometimes later. Yukana and Shizuka Itō in episode 18. Mamiko Noto is mentioned a few times. Notably in episode 19, when Sugita tells Nakamura that she (and Nabatame) is(/are) in Strawberry Marshmallow. In episode 26, Nakamura mentions Yui Ogura, and Sugita responds with Kaori Ishihara. The two guys wonder if they invite one of them, would the other come along, too. (Both girls are members of the unit YuiKaori.) In 30-sho Gaiden, when they play Mach Breakers: Numan Athletics 2, Sugita picked an old man (Shigoku) who had very long hair that stood up in the air, with Nakamura commenting it's "Gon-san". Then Sugita calls the old man "Han-chan". Kenta Miyake and Fumiko Orikasa are mentioned when Sugita, Nakamura and Eguchi play Street Fighter II, since they are Eguchi and Sugita's senpais respectively and play Zangief and Chun-Li. In episode 37, Sugita imitates Daisuke Gōri and Yuusuke Numata. When playing Time Gal, Nakamura wonders if Reika Kishihara was voiced by one of the Dirty Pair seiyuus, Saeko Shimazu or Kyouko Tonguu. However, Sakaguchi eventually figures out that Reika was played by Yuriko Yamamoto. Aside from their seiyuu co-workers, Sugita often mentions his older brother or/and his cousin Kazuyuki.

Tokyo Encounter / int_3c88d6c2	comment	Flat "What": In one episode while Aoi Yuuki gets herself caught up in a giggling fit looking at how utterly ridiculous Sugita and Nakamura in their (ridiculously undersized) animal hoodies Sugita responds with one of these. In English no less. Nakamura trying to reach for something on the table just makes her laugh harder.

A rather suggestive sounding "Yamete!" (Stop it!) is often used as the sound.

Tokyo Encounter / int_6d7026fa	comment	Punny Name: The word "Die" in Die... Tokyo Encounter is a pun to "Dai", which means "Great" or "Big". In episode 5, when one of the characters is called "Mezu", Sugita jokingly says that Megumi Toyoguchi is in the game, only then to explain the "Mezu/Megu" pun when Kaji is looking up at the menu to check if it's true. In episode 76, when they are fighting against giant ants, Sugita calls them "Ozawa". Yashiro finally sees the connection when he says "ari" ("ant") and that Sugita was making a pun with Ari Ozawa's name. Nakamura catches the pun after Yashiro.

Since his birthday happens to be in May 4, this might explain the one-month delay of the broadcast.
