Voice actors Kotaro Nishiyama (Kazuhito Narita, Haikyu!!) and Shouta Aoi (Ai Mikaze, Uta no Prince-sama) are joining forces again fora unique variety show. And while it may look like they've caught a Black Butler bug, viewers can expect laughs instead of scares.

Titled Shouta-sama to Shitsuji Nishiyama no OTAWAMURE, the variety show is styled as a visit to the opulent home of rich kid Aoi. Nishiyama acts as both butler and co-host as the pair greet guests from the world of film, television, stage, and anime. The first special ran in January of this year:

The second installment will feature guest appearances from stage actor Yoshihiko Aramaki (Yuujirou Kai, TeniMyu second season) and up-and-coming star Ryo Kitamura (Toushirou Yagen in next year's Touken Ranbu film).

Aoi says he considers OTAWAMURE something like a newborn growing at an extremely rapid rate, and looks forward to where it will go from here. Nishiyama added a thank you to the fans, without whose feedback a second episode would not have been possible.

Shouta-sama to Shitsuji Nishiyama no OTAWAMURE airs August 11 on Fuji TV.
