Seiyu’s Life! is stepping back into the recording booth for its 10th anniversary 🎙️ Frontier Works has announced a brand-new Seiyu’s Life! BD-BOX with both standard and deluxe editions, a special rebroadcast of Episode 1 on TOKYO MX on December 25, 2025, and a celebration campaign in Akihabara that puts rookie voice actors and the real-world unit Earphones back in the spotlight.
Seiyu’s Life BD-BOX Celebrates a Decade of Anime
Based on the dōjin manga by Masumi Asano and Kenjiro Hata, Seiyu’s Life! (それが声優！) turns the everyday struggles of rookie voice actors into a slice-of-life comedy about chasing your first big break. The 2015 TV anime from studio GONZO is now getting a 10th anniversary BD-BOX, collecting the series in HD with refreshed packaging.
The BD-BOX launches in Japan on January 28, 2026. The standard edition is a single Blu-ray Disc priced at 19,250 yen (tax in), while the deluxe “Kore ga Goukaban!” edition is a three-disc set at 30,250 yen (tax in). Both use a newly drawn illustration by character designer and chief animation director Masakatsu Sasaki for the outer case and digipak.
Inside the Seiyu’s Life BD-BOX Deluxe Edition Perks
Both editions share the core bonus features: reprinted audio commentaries from the original 2015–2016 Blu-ray releases, a brand-new commentary by Earphones for Episode 1, non-credit OP/ED videos, and an 8-page booklet.
The deluxe edition adds a second Blu-ray and a bonus CD packed with 10th anniversary content:
- A newly recorded “Anata no O-mimi ni Plug-in!” radio CD (around 42 minutes)
- A special booklet featuring the “Sukima Theater” manga reprint, new 4-koma strips and columns, plus guest interviews from the original discs
- A special-edited “Sore ga Earphones!” video disc revisiting the group’s activities
For collectors, this is basically a time capsule of the 2015 Earphones boom 😄
Quick Crash Course on the Seiyu’s Life Anime Story
The series follows Futaba Ichinose, a shy rookie voice actress juggling part-time work and almost no roles, who meets fellow newcomers Ichigo Moesaki and Rin Kohana in an anime recording booth. Their careers slowly tangle together through after-recording sessions, web radio, events and the formation of the real-world unit Earphones.
The TOKYO MX anniversary broadcast will re-air Episode 1 “Afureko”, featuring guest legend Masako Nozawa, on December 25, 2025 from 22:00 to 22:30 (JST). It’s the perfect entry point if you’ve only heard about the show as “that seiyuu anime with Earphones.”
Ways Overseas Fans Can Enjoy the New Seiyu’s Life Release
The BD-BOX is being sold through Japanese retailers like Frontier Works’ official online shop (hosted inside Animate Online), Amazon Japan and others that typically ship overseas. Since the specs list Japanese audio only and do not mention subtitles, it’s safest to assume this box is aimed at Japanese speakers—so check your region-compatible player and your language comfort before you import.
If you prefer streaming, Seiyu’s Life! has previously been available via international services like Funimation and Crunchyroll, with English subtitles and dubs depending on region. Lining up a rewatch of Episode 1 while the TOKYO MX rebroadcast airs on December 25 is an easy way for overseas fans to “join” the anniversary from abroad.
Broadcast Details for the Seiyu’s Life Anniversary Special
The anniversary broadcast is simple but symbolic: one 30-minute slot on TOKYO MX, showing Episode 1 on December 25, 2025 (Thu) at 22:00–22:30 JST. There is no simulcast announced, so this is a domestic TV event rather than a global stream—but it underlines how strongly Seiyu’s Life! still resonates with fans of the voice acting world.
Bonus Radio, Commentaries and Extras Packed into the Box
On top of the discs themselves, Frontier Works is launching a 10th anniversary campaign in Akihabara: panel displays of iconic opening scenes, in-store OP song broadcasts, and a message board where fans can write their Earphones and Seiyu’s Life! memories. Selected customers who buy the BD-BOX at participating Akihabara Animate and Gamers locations can win signed shikishi from Earphones and even the actual display panels via lottery.
Retailer bonuses also vary: Animate offers a large can badge, Amazon Japan provides a visual sheet set, and Gamers has a B2 tapestry plus an optional paid acrylic panel. For hardcore collectors, chasing your favorite shop bonus may be the toughest “audition” of all.
