Takuma Terashima Releases Concept EP Elements Featuring Voice Drama with Daisuke Sakuma from Snow Man

Takuma Terashima, known for voicing popular anime and game characters such as Otoya Ittoki in Uta no
Prince-sama: Maji Love 1000%, released his concept EP ELEMENTS on September 4. The EP includes a voice
drama titled Samael to no Kaikou (Encounter with Samael), which plays a key role in setting up the story for
Terashima’s live tour starting on September 15.

The drama includes Daisuke Sakuma from Snow Man as the mysterious character Samael, who appears before
Terashima’s character. This project marks the first time Terashima and Sakuma, who are close friends in real life, have
worked together as voice actors. The voice drama Samael to no Kaikou, written by Terashima himself, is exclusively
available on the CD of the ELEMENTS EP.

Comment from Daisuke Sakuma:
“I’ve been saying for a long time that we should work on a voice acting project together, so I’m really happy we finally
got the chance. It’s amazing that Terashima-san made this happen himself. He created the entire world of the voice
drama, and I think it highlights just how incredible he is. I hope my fans enjoy hearing us perform together.”

A behind-the-scenes video documenting the making of ELEMENTS has been released on Terashima’s official
YouTube channel. The video offers a look at the recording of Samael to no Kaikou, along with footage from the album
cover photoshoot and recording sessions, showcasing the journey leading up to the project’s completion.

Voice Drama Samael to no Kaikou Synopsis

In his workroom, Takuma Terashima (voiced by himself) is organizing scripts and completed packages. As he opens
one of the scripts, Samael (voiced by Daisuke Sakuma) suddenly appears. Samael, the creator of the world, is an
“otaku” who loves the many forms of fiction created by humans.

Samael explains that the world is stagnating due to people’s desires and that the elemental energy which the world is
composed of is weakening. He asks Terashima to use the power of soul-stirring music to restore the world’s vitality
and harmony. To energize his fans and revitalize the world, Terashima embarks on a nationwide tour…!
