Anime about the anime industry isn’t a new thing as there have been many shows that had stories about various aspects of animation production. The latest show in this genre is Seiyuu Radio no Uraomote, an upcoming anime about voice actresses that got a 2024 release announcement in its new trailer.
This series was announced back in late 2022, though it is only now that it got a proper trailer that revealed its release plans.
What’s more, the new trailer highlights the anime’s two main stars, who are popular voice actresses and seiyuu radio hosts.
Popular VAs Miku Ito and Moe Toyota Star in Seiyuu Radio
Aside from voice acting roles, Japanese anime VAs are also all-around entertainers and talents. Many VAs host seiyuu radio shows which are often held to promote new and upcoming anime.
Seiyuu Radio no Uraomote’s story is about two voice actresses who are the hosts of a radio program.
Starring as the two main characters are popular VAs Miku Ito and Moe Toyota as Yasumi Utatane and Yuhi Yugire, respectively.
Ito is a seiyuu who is best known for voicing Miku Nakano in The Quintessential Quintuplets. Her other notable roles include Kokoro Tsurumaki in BanG Dream! and Neko Kamimoku in Akebi’s Sailor Uniform.
She is joined by Toyota, another popular VA whose major voice roles include Sapphire Kawashima in Sound! Euphonium, Kanon Matsubara in BanG Dream!, and Hibiki in Boruto: Naruto Next Generations.
What’s interesting about their casting is that Ito and Toyota also host a seiyuu radio show for Pyxis Radio.

Seiyuu Radio no Uraomote Gets 2024 Release in New Trailer
In real life, Ito and Toyota are good friends, but that is not the case in Seiyuu Radio no Uraomote. This series follows two high school voice actresses Yasumi and Yuhi.
During the program, Yasumi and Yuhi show how close they are to listeners despite their differences.
After all, Yasumi is a gyaru while Yuhi is a quiet high schooler. When they aren’t on air, though, Yasumi and Yuhi absolutely cannot stand each other.
This comedic take on seiyuu radio shows promises to be an interesting watch, especially for those who are regular consumers of seiyuu content.
For now, fans will have to wait as studio Connect (of Slow Loop and Ayakashi Triangle fame) is still working on the series.
As revealed in the trailer, Seiyuu Radio no Uraomote will be released sometime in 2024. For now, there’s no word yet on a specific release date.
