Today's events opened with the recording of a radio show, starring Naruto voice talents Junko Takeuchi (the voice of Naruto) and Kazuhiko Inoue (who plays Kakashi), who read out messages from fans, discussed the upcoming Naruto film, and previewed the theme tune from the new PS2 game "Naruto: Konoha Spirits," sung by Takeuchi.
