Wow, next weekend
I'm off to Australia…
Summer sure goes by
in a flash.
Especially August.
It's too fast (crying).
In the past I made a
trip to Taiwan for business and I had a good idea of what to expect.
But this time I
really can't get a grasp on what it will be like.
I'm excited, but at
the same time pretty nervous.
I don't know what
anime and games are popular over there.
And I don't know how
much attention a voice actor can actually get, especially since it's
me.
I end up thinking
“is it really okay for someone like me to go?”…
There's other stuff
that I have no clue about either, like how I should spend my personal
time there…
Well, I guess I
won't know unless I go. I definitely think it will be fun.
So to everybody in
Australia I haven't met yet, best regards for this weekend.
Seriously.
In other news, I
found this poster in a certain place.
That “certain
place” is probably easy to figure out (laugh).
Surprisingly,
Symphogear is getting a slot machine.
Well, I say
surprisingly, but I recorded dialog for the thing so I guess that's strange of me to say.
But we recorded it so
long ago, it was before season 3 even.
And now it's finally
coming out, I'm excited.
By the way, for 3
seasons I've voiced the character Kazanari Genjuro, who is the
commander of the main characters. If I tried to explain the story I
would be writing all night, so for those of you who don't know it
please check out the official site.
Nana Mizuki-chan
does the OP and Ayahi Takagaki does the ED, every season…
Ah, I use “chan”
with Nana and don't use anything for Ayahi, which may seem rude.
But that's just
normally how I've come to call them, so I don't have any ill intent.
In the show, all the
main characters sing, so I have no doubt those songs will be playing
from the slot machine as well. I wish I had the skills to sing a
superb song. When I get back I'll go try the machine (laugh). For
each since season, they've had concerts for Symphogear. I was asked to
appear as the commander for 2 of them. And then even let me sing at
one of them (laugh).
Partially related, I
was able to be a narrator on a video recording for one of
Nana-chan's concerts.
I went to the Seibu
Dome to see how it was going and ended up being introduced on the
stage.
I was a little
embarrassed…
Also it happened
again this year at Tokyo Dome, I made an appearance for the
recording.
I'll do anything for
her, she is my niece after all.
Ah, I mean, in terms
of our roles in the show…
I don't have any
relatives in the world of voice acting, save for Masazaku Morita that
is (laugh).
Actually, awhile
back I went to an event at Osaka Jungle, but I wasn't able to make it
to the concert there. Too bad…
But if I went, I'm
sure it would have made for another embarrassing experience (laugh).
...When I think
about it I'm actually the pretty shy type.
I've been told the
same by a number of people in the industry.
They often ask, “why
that outfit, why that scarf, why that part in your hair?” and so on
(laugh).
I haven't seen the
completed footage yet, so I want to take a look and see the embarrassment for myself. The concert DVD, I
want to watch it soon…
As for Symphogear,
season 4 and 5 are official.
I have no idea when
we're going to get started though.
But being able to
create more great work with all the members of that team…
I'm really looking
forward to it.
And until then I'll
just have to enjoy it via the slot machine (laugh).
For those of you who
are interested, and old enough to play, it's coming out next week so
take a stop by your local parlor and give it a shot. I had quite a
lot of dialog, if I remember right.
Alright, well I have
to start my prep for next week.
It's winter over
there so I've got to be sure to cover up.
By the way I have
one more thing to announce about next weekend.
When I know the
details I'll post them.
I'll be careful on
my way over, to the land of Aussie Beef (laugh).
See ya.
