Cast Interview with Nana Mizuki

Merry Christmas! We're back with another interview. Nana Mizuki has long been a legend in the anime and music community, so it's no surprise that she was one of the talents chosen to bring the Symphogear series to life. Not only did she lend her stellar voice to the character of Tsubasa, but she also wrote and performed every opening for the series. Her presence behind the scenes is so impactful that it became a meme among the fandom to proclaim "Nana wills it!" whenever news got announced. Also, let's not forget that her artistic drawing talents gave birth to the Bushi Noise. So, without further ado, please enjoy this interview with her as the third installment of the 10th year anniversary translations!

Cast Interview with Yuka Iguchi

If Aoi Yuki is Captain of Team Symphogear, then there is no doubt that Yuka Iguchi is the head of the cheerleading squad. From her appearances at all the concerts, to her long tenure as host of the radio show, Yuka Iguchi has done a lot to support the staff and cast in a similar way to how Miku supports all the gear users in the show. Her character fills a unique role that's different, yet no less important, from the main six. So please enjoy this interview with her as the second installment of the 10th year anniversary translations!

Mini-Interviews with Minami Takayama & Hideo Ishikawa

Hi again! I'm still working on the next long-form interview, which will feature Yuka Iguchi (the actress for Miku). In the meantime, here are two very brief interviews with other notable members of the cast. Hope you enjoy!

 

Cast Interview with Aoi Yuki

Aoi Yuki is undoubtedly the "Captain" of Team Symphogear. As the voice of Hibiki, the show would never have been the hit it became without her infectious energy and passion. Of course, not everything was sunshine and roses for her over the course of the series. Her personal struggles with season 1 and stepping into the spotlight as the main character have been well documented over the years. She's also cried on stage numerous times out of overwhelming emotion for the warm reception that fans and fellow castmembers alike have given her. So, it seems fitting for the first installment of the 10th year anniversary translations to feature this interview with her from LisAni. 

 

Please enjoy!

 

Celebrating 10+ Years

Greetings, fellow Symphofans! Surprise! I'm reviving this blog from the dead with some new content. I recently got my hands on the December 2022 issue of LisAni magazine, which is entirely dedicated to Symphogear in honor of its 10th anniversary. That's a whopping 165+ pages of content!
 

Of course, I won't be able to translate everything, but I will be including a few new interviews and other features here sporadically. There is no firm schedule, so don't expect updates too often, but please check back and comment on what you're most interested in.
