The 2017 Animelo Summer Live, or Animelo Summer Live THE CARD, were hosted over the weekend of August 25th. One of the first super guests at the event was Aya Hirano. When she came up onto the stage, she told the crowd that she had an announcement. As the music began for one of the most popular songs in Anime history began, the crowd began to grow louder. Hirano announced that she would be joined by the SOS Brigade to perform Hare Hare Yukai. The crowd went ballistic.
The SOS Brigade consists of (from left to right) Minori Chihara (Yuki Nagato), Aya Hirano (Haruhi Suzumiya) and Yuko Gotou (Mikuru Asahina). The three performed together the song and dance (with much enthusiasm) of Hare Hare Yukai with the animation in the background.
When the song ended, the three embraced each other, laughing and smiling. Hirano mentions to the crowd that it has been 11 years since the three performed together at Animelo Summer Live. The SOS Brigade left the stage side by side with the crowd roaring in the background.
