Five voice actresses from the Saki Achiga-hen episode of side-A television anime series are collaborating with Sega to play real-life mahjong on the Sega Network Taisen MJ5 mahjong arcade game. The voice actresses involved in the collaboration include: Aoi Yūki (Shizuno), Nao Tōyama (Ako), Kana Hanazawa (Kuro), Mako (Yū), and Yumi Uchiyama (Arata).

Sega posted a preview video on Monday of the voice actresses trying out the game. The five women played the game using images of their Saki Achiga-hen episode of side-A characters as their in-game avatars. Members of the Japanese Professional Mahjong Association provided commentary for the matches and provided support. Sega also posted images and an in-depth report of the event.
