Key information
The Beppu Public Enterprise Bureau has released an official event report detailing the Jigoku Kourin activities held during the Beppu Keirin Autumn Festival on October 3, 2026. The report highlights a special talk show featuring voice actors Chiharu Sawashiro, who plays Chinoike, and Sho Nogami, who plays Oniyama.
During the two-part talk show, the voice actors performed live dubbing and shared personal experiences, including a tour of the velodrome facilities. Nogami, a Beppu native, discussed his first professional homecoming. The second session featured a cycling quiz, local discussions, and the debut of a 30-second music video titled Like Live Beppu Keirin—Chinoike Ver.
The event also included merchandise sales and a campaign linked to the Beppu Jigoku Meguri stamp book, which allowed attendees to collect exclusive character cards. Additionally, the official social media account is currently hosting a giveaway for posters signed by the two voice actors.
Looking ahead, the project is scheduled to participate in the Animate Girls Festival 2026 on November 7 and 8. Plans for the booth include the sale of new illustrations, special handouts, and an event where voice actors will distribute gifts to fans.
