The cause for the abrupt cancellation remains unspecified, and details about both the event and the cast members – crucial figures in the voice acting industry - are awaited.

In Japan, the entertainment industry, including anime, manga, and their famous voice actors, often serve as a significant cultural element treasured by not just youngsters but the community at large. Any alteration or disruption like event cancellations is heavily scrutinized and discussed by enthusiasts, often leading to considerable social circles' effect.
Like the Japanese, the American and European audiences take their pop culture events quite seriously and any cancellations are likely to cause a stir.
