"Mr. Osomatsu", the ongoing TV anime , held an online Christmas live titled, "Iyami and Totoko's Merry Christ'Matsu'! ~Shey naru Yoru~(Holy Night)" on its official YouTube channel on December 24, 2020. Since the broadcast was held on the Christmas Eve, several voice of the fans waiting for the event had been posted on Twitter. When the live stream started with a title call, the spokesmen Suzumura Kenichi and Endou Aya with Santa outfits appeared on the stage, where the decoration is made specially for Christmas night. The event started with Suzumura Kenichi saying, "although it is little difficult to see each other at the actual event, but I hope we can have a wonderful Christmas Eve together". This live stream asked the fans "how they spend their Christmas Eve night" via letters in advance, and also welcomed the Twitter posts during the live stream. Many comments from the fans have been sent since the original goods will be given to the fans whose letters or posts were read during the event. Fukuyama Jun (playing Ichimatsu) and Kamiya Hiroshi (playing Choromatsu) with reindeer outfits appeared on the stage to show the original goods. Fukuyama passionately introduced himself. "I am Fuku-Reindeer-Yama Jun!!", while Kamiya made a fighting pose and said, "I am the Reindeer Man!" in front of camera. Twitter was put in the whirl of excitement since it is very rare to see them in reindeer outfits. Moreover, the rest of the casts of 6 siblings later appeared on the stage. Sakurai Takahiro (Osomatsu), Nakamura Yuuichi (Karamatsu), and Ono Daisuke (Juushimatsu) made their appearance through phone calls, and Irino Miyu delivered his message via a letter. The common topic among the casts were "how everyone was spending their Christmas Eves" and "the honest comments after completing the first half of Season 3". Regardless of the expectation to hear the honest negative comments, the casts agreed that they "do not have much negative feeling toward Season 3", and the casts are also surprised at each other for not having any complaints. In addition message cards from the story editor Matsubara Shuu and the director Fujita Youichi arrived at the event. Matsubara expressed his affection towards Endou saying, " I love Totoko. I love Endou-san", and director Fujita said, "after finishing 21 consecutive work days with one-day off twice, I do not feel well. I need HELP!" showing us how he's keeping being busy. The last section was review quiz. Four difficult questions related to each cast was shown on the screen. As a response to the question, "On episode 4-'Ichimatsu Radio', what was the family name of the fake director, who works for a fake show of Ichimatsu, titled 'Deep Night Hour'?", Kamiya commented, "it is little embarrassing if I get this wrong", and got the right answer, "Director Kanda!". The casts continued to worked together to answer difficult questions, including "On episode 7-'Dociking', what kind of a tree is displayed in the cockpit on the spacecraft, where Choromatsu is working as a pilot?". At the closing, all 4 casts seemed to enjoy the event. Kamiya commented, "I realized again how fun Mr. Osomatsu is!", while Endou sadly commented, "It is very sad to end this event, since I did not expect to participate in such an entertaining party as an adult". The live stream will be archived until 11:59 p.m. on December 31 on the official "Mr. Osomatsu" YouTube channel. (C) Akatsuka Fujio/Mr. Osomatsu Production Committee

“Words Bubble Up Like Soda Pop” is an original anime which depicts a summer of youth for boys and girls with the keywords of "voice" and "music" as its theme.. The anime is a youthful graffiti of a boy Cherry, who can only express his feelings through haiku, and Smile, a girl with a facial mask who cannot overcome her complex about her appearance. The director is Ishiguro Kyouhei, who is known for “Your Lie in April” and “Children of the Whales”, and this is his first original movie. Here at Anime!Anime!, we conducted an interview with director Ishiguro Kyouhei, who produced his original movie that the fans have been waiting for. We asked him to talk about his wish on what he wanted to create, his motif choice (music, haiku, etc.) his special favor on vividness of color and music with originality, and his future vision in regards to work in the future. [Interview and Article Written By: Tanaka Shinobu] ■ This was your first original movie. What did you hope to express? Director Ishiguro Kyouhei ※The actual release date is Thursday, July 22, 2021. There was an error in the release date. ---This was the first original movie for you (Director Ishiguro). How did the plan come to fruition in the beginning? Ishiguro: After completing the broadcast of “Your Lie in April”, Flying Dog offered me a position to produce “an original movie closely related to music”. I believe it was around 2015. I already came up with a plot for “musical movie with strong Sci-Fi factors”, but I preferred to “make a movie with realistic factors” more, so my plan shifted this way. ---How did you choose your staff, including Satou Dai (script writer)? Ishiguro: A year after the start of the plan, I was stuck with the progress, since I was not sure how to put things that I want, including what I wanted to do, and what I want to express, into the story. I offered Satou Dai-san, who I had a personal connection with, to participate in the production, and asked him to write “a positive story with the theme-music”. I started to decide character designs, brought this plan to SIGNAL.MD, and started to gather staff. I started to do this, because I felt that an environment with staff will make something move forward. ---How did you make the story with Satou Dai? Ishiguro: My order to Dai-san was “to set the story in the real world” and “a group drama similar to ‘The Goonies’”. To make a group drama evident, we set the story in a shopping mall in a rural area filled with paddy fields, and the protagonist became a boy living nearby. The plot at the point was already similar to “The Goonies” and had no factor of romance that the final version has. ※”The Goonies” is an American movie released in 1985, which depicted the adventures of a group of juveniles “The Goonies”, who are looking for pirate treasure. ---At what point did you choose to have “boy meets girl” as the center of the story? Ishiguro: The story was already well-made at the point of the scenario, but there was the perspective that pointed out the lack of impact toward the audience. So we kept the main part of the story and started to focus on Cherry and Smile, instead of making the movie a group drama. Also, I am a big fan of Dai-san’s music, so I took in music as an important factor of the movie. ---Smile wears a facial mask to hide her teeth that stick out and Cherry is too shy, etc.. The movie seems to have “complex” as the theme. Ishiguro: I love drama of children building up their own personality. So “romance” is a small factor in this movie, and I created the story so the characters overcome things that they don’t like about themselves. What I finally wanted to tell was that things that you personally don’t think are sometimes an appealing factor for others. I want the audience to be encouraged about whatever complex they may have after watching the movie. ■ Reason of choosing the motifs-Haiku, Mask, Vocabulary, and Music. ---A heroine with a facial mask is not so popular in anime, but she was so appealing. Ishiguro: I was certain about that. I was sure that I can make her appealing and cute in the anime, although it might be a bit difficult in a live-action movie. When her design was complete, her teeth were sticking out a little bit when her mouth was closed, and that was cute, as she was like a small animal. I can relate to her, because I also have teeth sticking out from my mouth, and I didn’t like it. ---I believe that facial expression is an important factor for character design but Smile hides half of her face with a mask. What did you struggle about her direction? Ishiguro: That was the point that I had to work on. I was certain that I can make her cute, but was not sure if I can express her emotions with her mouth being hidden. But when I looked up on the method of creating emoji, I realized that Japanese read the emotions from “eyes”, while Europeans understand as “mouth”. So I decided to bet on that knowledge. I tried to design her eyes based on her emotions, whether she is happy or sad. Also, since Smile is an energetic, optimistic boy, I chose to deliver his personality with full motion of his body and his actions. ---The balance between modern items like SNS and nostalgic items like a record was fantastic. Ishiguro: There will be SNS, but also picture label records... This image, depicted in the key visual, was solidified from the beginning. Picture labels (discs with not only text, but also multi-colored photos, pictures, etc.) are an important item on records, but I used them simply because I like them (laughs). A picture of the record of “Love Call HIROKO” by Yakushimaru Hiroko (Ishiguro’s personal belonging) ---Why did you chose “haiku” as one of your motifs? Ishiguro: Itou Seikou-san once advocated, “Haiku is the origin of Japanese rap” and he continued, “haiku rhymes and is sampling. This is the complete hip-hop”, and I got inspiration from this. Cherry's haiku is written by real high school students. It is fresh, young, and has momentum unique to their age. ■ Color with vividness-unrealistic color of exaggeration Ishiguro: This coloring is 100% my hobby. I love Suzuki Hidehito-san and Watase Seizou-san, one of the best illustrators from the 1980’s. I like to structure the design with silhouette, not with details, and that appears evident in the movie. The picture record of “FOR YOU” by Yamashita Tatsurou, which Suzuki Hidehito designed (personal belonging of director Ishiguro) ---Coloring is an important factor of choosing a movie’s style, and that for this movie is more like a vivid, exaggerated use of color than reality. Ishiguro: In my opinion, it would be good if the color were to take a certain leap and become a part of the character of the film, rather than conforming to reality. Shadow follows the same logic. Shadow can be absent on necessary scenes, and doesn’t have to be black. I did not direct vivid color, but art director Nakamura Chieko-san was the master of abnormal colors (laughter) and made it into an interesting use of color. ---I felt your "color" was evident in addition to use of color throughout the movie. Which point did you care more about? Ishiguro: All movies that I produced killed characters in the story. So I advocated that I don’t want my first original work sad and dark. I want to have my story positive and end happy. Dai-san agreed with me. ---After producing this movie, did you find anything that you want to improve as a creator? Ishiguro: When I was producing works with original work, I thought I don’t need much of my personality. It is because it is important to pick up necessary points from the original work and convert it into animation. The original movie is completely from it. There is no original work first of all, and I have to express what I want to do and create from it. Because I create with my ideas, and uniqueness and favorites are important for me. The trend of recent years is to express what is shown in the original work to became the good director, rather than “expressing the personality of a director” in the anime. But back then, when I was a student, I produced “what I can call my own work”, I think I remembered what I was doing by producing this anime. It was a difficult but happy experience. I want to produce more original works in the future. ---That is wonderful words for the fans. Ishiguro: If I don’t do that, I don’t know why I chose this job. I want to participate in the anime with original works as an illustrator and other jobs. But I decided not to produce anime with original work any more. I want to express myself strongly in the future.

“The Crocodile Who Dies in 100 Days" depicts the daily life of a crocodile and its death in 100 days. The movie "The Crocodile Who Lived for 100 Days" is based on this book, and in addition to the message of the original, it is a film with original episodes about the friends after the 100 days. It is a story that will resonate with more people now than ever, as it overlaps the lives of the characters with their daily lives and sense of values that have been changed by the corona pandemic. For this interview, we asked Kamiki Ryunosuke, who plays Crocodile, Tomoya Nakamura, who plays Mouse, and Subaru Kimura, who plays Mole, to share their thoughts on the appeal of the film and the "friends" it portrays. [Interview and text by Noshita Nao, photography by Ayumi Fujita]. ■Characters as realistic as in a live-action movie --First of all, please tell us about your memories of playing the characters and what you were particular about. Kamiki: I was thrilled to be able to create the impression of the crocodile character with my own voice. I was able to decide how high or low my voice should be, and how I should speak, so I had to think about the balance between my voice and that of my other best friends, including Mouse, which was both difficult and fun because of the freedom. The director ordered me to "talk as if I were with my best friends in a good, carefree way" and "use the pauses and tension of a crocodile talking in a relaxed, natural voice", so I was conscious of this when I was acting. Nakamura: Mouse oozes kindness in its actions and blank spaces, and it is a character that is sensitive and observant of its surroundings, but I felt that it has an overall air of bluntness. With that in mind, I tried to keep my voice expression as plain as possible. Kimura: From the time I read the original story, I had the impression that Mole was a bit like an older brother to his best friends. He's mature and has a sense of perspective. He wears a hoodie and looks a bit naughty, but I tried to keep the first impression I had of him and play him with a cool, unflappable air. Kamiki: I've worked with Tomo-kun before in "March come in like a Lion" and "Shijinsou no Satsujin" and we've become good friends, so I believed in our bond, and I tried my best to create the atmosphere of Crocodile and Mouse who have known each other since childhood. I worked with Subaru-kun about 15 years ago in "Doraemon the Movie: Nobita's Dinosaur 2006". At the time, I was in the sixth grade of elementary school and Subaru-kun was the closest to me in age among the cast, so he treated me like an younger brother. I have known him since I was a child, so I felt at ease with him, and it was really fun to act with him. Nakamura: I've never met Subaru-kun before, but I knew him from Ryu, and he was very frank when I met him. He doesn’t seem like it but he is actually younger than me. Kimura: That's right (laughs). Nakamura: If you asked him to, he would even play the character of the anime he was in charge of. It was a lot of fun to post-record with such a fun group of people. Kimura: I was happy to be able to try something new that I had never done before, because it was a work that required a reality similar to that of a live-action movie, which is a little different from the animation I usually do. ■Heart-wrenching original episodes --The second half of the story takes place 100 days after the death of the crocodile. This will be an original episode for the film that is not in the original story. What are your impressions after watching it? Kamiki: After an event that changes your daily life, there are people who try to be positive, people who can't be positive, people who don't even try to be positive, and people who don't even want to look forward. I was wondering how the stopped time of those people would pass and how they would handle things. In fact, when you see it in the video, after the loss of Crocodile, the friends realize that they should not have taken for granted what they did before . That scene made my heart ache. I could feel the director's message that "the corona pandemic has made the ordinary not ordinary anymore. Also, depending on how you spent your time with the crocodile and how you feel about it, the way you feel about it afterwards will change. I thought it was wonderful that the story carefully depicted these aspects. Nakamura: I think when you build a house, you need four pillars. The addition of original episodes to the film adaptation of the original story made the pillars thicker and stronger, and I felt that it had a synergistic effect. As Ryu-kun just said, the message became much easier to convey, and I felt more familiar with the heart-breaking moments. Kimura: On the day of the recording, the director told me, "I was actually thinking of putting in 80% to 90% of what is depicted in the original story and making the rest original. But the corona pandemic has severed the ties between people, and it is no longer unrealistic to expect people to die. That's why I decided to make half of the story about Crocodile living for 100 days and the other half a new one. After I listened to him say this and watched the film again, I realized that even though Crocodile did not appear in the film, I could feel his presence all the time. I thought it was a wonderful story that gave me a sense of sadness and warmth. --How did you feel about the existence of an original character named Frog? Kamiki: I was looking forward to seeing how Hiroki (Yamada) would play the role. When I actually saw him, I was really impressed. The character himself is cute and easy to watch, but I think the presence of the Frog helped convey the director's message. Nakamura: It's not about Frog himself, but it was interesting to see how nervous Yuki was during the recording (laughs). I thought it was a character that Yuki seemed to be good at, so I've always wondered why he was so nervous. Kimura: The existence of Frog itself is a foreign substance to his friends, isn't it? But he also has a past, and he came to an unknown town. I was touched when the reason for his arrival was revealed, and I thought it was a reminder that we shouldn't judge people by their appearance when we translate it into the human world. →Next page: [What do the three of you think of "friends"?] ■A companion is someone you instinctively and naturally feel comfortable with. --Crocodile and his friends are very natural, aren't they? I thought it was wonderful that they were together when they wanted to be, but also that they had a good sense of distance. Throughout the film, what kind of existence do you think friends are? Kamiki: It's not just people who have the same goal ......, is it? Kimura: That's right. It's not like we're friends because we're together. Kamiki: Yes. But there are people you haven't kept in touch with at all, and even though you haven't seen them in a while, they haven't changed. Kimura: Yes, there are. Even if you only see them once every six months or so, the atmosphere quickly becomes casual and friendly. Kamiki: From the perspective of the relationship between Crocodile, I think people who naturally and instinctively feel that they will be with these people forever are their friends. When I try to come up with a definition, I feel it's not right. So I guess you could say that people who you can instinctively imagine being with are your friends, without having to define them. Kimura: Kamiki-kun, do you have someone like that? Kamiki: Yes, I do. Nakamura: I don't have anyone. Kamiki: ...... Do you want to form a comedy group with the 3 of us? Nakamura: Please do not forget to put "......" for the silence before his words . Kamiki (laughs). Even though I was playing Crocodile, I instinctively thought that the people I was with were my friends. I mean, Crocodile and his friends don't have anything. Sometimes we get together to have fun, but we don't always have a purpose. I guess that's what makes us friends, to be together without being aware of it. Nakamura: If I were in a group, I would definitely be in the position of Mouse. I thought so from the first time I read the script, and that's why I didn't do anything in the play. Kamiki: What do you mean " I'm Mouse, aren't I”? Nakamura: That's right. He is not like Crocodile, who is always in the center of the action, but he is also not like Mole, who takes care of others. I don't know what he is thinking, but when he joins in, he joins in; when he pulls back, he pulls back; sometimes he cares, sometimes he doesn’t care. I am definitely Mouse. From now on, please call me "Mouse Senpai”. Kimura: I was envious of their relationship. I don't have any friends with this kind of relationship. Nakamura: You seem to have the most friends out of the three of us. Kimura: It's not what it seems (laughs). There are many people I know, acquaintances, people I can talk to openly. But there's no one I can call my best friend, even though we have nothing in common. Crocodile and his friends live close to each other, don't they? Nakamura: That's right, we've been together since elementary school, haven't we? Kimura: Yes, yes. It's the kind of relationship where you can go to that park after dark and see if everyone is there. But for me, my best friends from school live in different places, and there's no place for us to get together. I formed a theater troupe with my high school friends and we are still active, but they are more like family than friends. So, I really envy those friends who don't have to do anything. I would like to make such friends in the future. ■Do you have many small bits of happiness in your daily life? --This story also made me realize that there is a lot of small bits of happiness in our daily lives. What small happiness do you feel in your daily life? Kamiki: In a game, when my account appeared on the screen of a live broadcast of a competition held by YouTubers, and I got the top ranking and my name was called. I was like, "I just got called!” Nakamura: Can anyone participate in that tournament? Kamiki: You can participate, but you have to make a certain amount of effort to win. It's fun to watch the competition on my smartphone and think, "I'm in the picture!” When I get on the ranking list, they call out my name and rank, so I tell my friends about it and feel happy. Kimura: That's quite a blessing, isn't it? Nakamura: What game is that? Kamiki: "Mario Kart". Nakamura: I play games too, but I've never done anything like Ryu. ...... My small happiness is that I finish work at 9p.m. It makes me feel like I'm done early. So, ....... Kimura: Today too? (laughs). Kamiki: Please write "He looks at the time on his cell phone" (laughs). --By the way, what is your golden schedule after you finish work at 21:00? Nakamura: I like to take a relaxing bath, so I think my golden schedule starts when I realize that I can finish my work before 9 p.m. If it's late at night and the next day is also early, I can't do that because I prioritize sleep. Kamiki: Please write down "glancing at his cell phone" (laughs). Nakamura: Everyone bursts into laughter, applauds, and the hoisting up begins. Kamiki: It won't start (laughs). Nakamura: In the bath, I read manga and scripts, and play music and the radio while I'm soaking. Kamiki: That's good, isn't it? Kimura: I have a lot of small happiness. When I press the button on the elevator and the door opens immediately. When a beautiful woman gives me a "like" on Instagram. When you see a beautiful woman next to you on the train you got on. Kamiki Two thirds of them are related to beautiful people. Kimura: Also, when I can finish eating a kebab without getting your hands dirty. Nakamura: Wouldn't you be happy if the lettuce didn't come out in the first bite of a hamburger? Kimura: I'm happy! But this kind of happiness often passes without us being aware of it, so I try to think of it as "lucky". Recently, I've been using a machine that sprays alcohol on my hands, and the moment I hold my hand up, alcohol comes out. Nakamura: There's so many! Kimura: Yes! Also, when someone comes to the door of my apartment building and opens the door before I can turn the key. Kamiki: When the sensor doesn't respond to my movement, I often wonder if I'm human. Kimura: Also, when I finish wiping my buttocks clean with just one roll of toilet paper, that's the best! Nakamura: For Subaru-kun, please use the topic of toilet paper (laughs).

"My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! X" (hereafter, known as HameFura X) is one of the anticipated anime of July. This time, Anime! Anime! had interviewed Uchida Maaya (the voice of the main protagonist Katarina Claes) and Okasaki Miho (the voice of the young woman who loves Katarina). This article will present the interview with Okasaki Miho (voice of Mary). Mary is deep in love with the main protagonist, Katarina until she wants to hog her to herself. As it seems that the "expression of love" of Mary is more than season 1, we had asked Okasaki-san on the voicing situation of the heart throbbing scenes that would make you smile unexpectedly. We had also asked about her impression of Uchida-san and the type of story that she would want to create if Mary is the main protagonist of it. The pointer of season 2 is "Love"! -- The broadcast of the season 2 of "HameFura" has finally started. Could you please introduce again the charms of the character, Mary Hunt? Okasaki: The charm of Mary is her "honesty". She is quite cool and I respect her a lot as she is able to tell others her thoughts honestly. -- What's the situation during the recording of season 2? Is there any situations of the studio or behavior of yourself or the other performers that left a deep impression in you? Okasaki: There are more "expression of love" scenes of Mary toward Katarina in season 2, so I have received a lot of this direction from the audio director, which is "Please show more of your performance" (haha)! Due to the current situation where the recording can only be done with a small group of people, it allows me to talk more than usual to my seniors, who are voicing the characters that Mary interact a lot, such as Maaya-san and Suzuki-san. So, I am quite happy on this. --Please tell us the highlights of season 2. Or is there any situation that you are looking forward to? Okasaki: The highlight of season 2 is "Love". As there are more heart throbbing scenes when compare to season 1, it makes me to smile unexpected sometime during the recording. Those scenes would make you have the thoughts of "Even the dull Katarina would notice this right...?", so I hope that all of you would be able to enjoy the developments of "HameFura X" together with the "love"! -- What did you focus more when voicing Mary in season 2 compare to season 1? Okasaki: I think that the appeal to Katarina had further expedited from season 1(haha). I will do my best in it! If there is a story featuring Mary as the main protagonist, then... -- What is the episodes or lines of your character that had left a deep impression in you from season 1? Could you also tell us the reason for it? Okasaki: I actually have a lot, but... if I have to choose, it would be the encounter scene with Katarina-sama in episode 2. It has been sometime since we last saw the child Mary, but I believe it is due to her pessimistic personality that allows her to encounter Katarina-sama as well as to have to have a better growth, so I think this is quite a lovely moment. Okasaki: This is a turning point for her, so I had put a lot of efforts in this scene. -- For season 1, the short voice drama that depicts the character perspective has been released, but if there is a story featuring Mary as the main protagonist, what type of story would you like to see? Okasaki: I want to see it filled with the cuteness of Mary! She normally wears the orange dress, but I would like to see her in a pink or white cute dress. I want a romantic story of the two, where of course Katarina will be playing the prince role in the male clothing. I hope that Katarina would be fine... (haha). -- As we had interviewed Uchida Maaya-san for this project as well, could you tell us your thoughts on Uchida-san? Please tell us if you have any memorable episodes. Okasaki: Maaya-san always talks to me while smiling, so she is a cute and kind senior to me! During the recording, she is known as the "Maaya-san Time" as you will fall for her coolness, so I adored her as a voice actor and a female! --As a conclusion, could you provide a message to everyone? Okasaki: "HameFura X" has finally started! I am also quite excited toward the broadcast of season 2 as I have put in a lot of efforts when voicing Mary. So, let's enjoy this summer together with Katarina-sama, who devoted herself to the life of the otome game! Please support both Mary and "HameFura X"!

The long-awaited season 2 of the TV anime "My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! X" (hereinafter, Hamefura X) has been started in July. This time, in addition to Uchida Maaya who plays the main character Catarina, we at Anime!Anime! also interviewed Okasaki Miho who plays Mary Hunt, Catarina's love rival. In this article, we will deliver an interview with Uchida Maaya, who plays Catarina. Uchida-san said that in season 2, Catarina, who overcame the "all routes" in season 1, was careful not to become too quiet. Meanwhile, she said for episode 1 of season 2, "I am ready to play Catarina." Maybe she decided to play ''the inner Catarina"...? We talked about various things. [Interview / text: Anime! Anime! Editorial department Photo: Ohara Souta] To make the "Catarina-ness" stand out more ーーSeason 2 has finally started. Please tell us the highlights or something interesting about episode 1 of season 2. Uchida: Jabbering "Hamefura" is back! The point is that you can see the depth beyond the world where Catarina lives. I would like you to see what will happen to Catarina and others later, after the released PV. This work is suitable for the words "with tears and laughter", so please look forward to it! Was there any unique about the recording sessions for the season 2? Please tell us anything that you remember, from about yourself up to anything memorable about others. Since the actors have experienced season 1, I thought the reaction from the direction booth was very important. I tried my best to "make any words from the direction booth real", rather than hoping that the direction would make the acting better.If the reaction of the Kameyama sound directors was good, I was doing a gut pose in my heart, saying "OK!". While everyone was working intensively, I relied on the laughter that I heard leaking out. It's a very nice place for bright laughter. ーーI think that Catarina, played by Uchida-san, really changed after everything happened in season 1. Is there anything particular about performing in season 2 comparing with season 1? Uchida: Catarina, who overcame the "dead end" in season 1, was careful not to become too quiet. After that, I was hoping that the explosive feelings or and interesting parts of season 1 will become more refreshing in season 2. I hope to make stand out more a new side of Catarina, which is not like her. Catarina has a lot of things to perform, and in season 2, all the cast members couldn't get together to do recording, so the point was how to play the fun that comes from the interactions. It was difficult. What would you do if you play a new "Inner Catarina"? ーーPlease tell us about episodes and lines that made the most influence on your character in season 1. Also, please explain the reason. Uchida: The story of Acchan was very impressive. I think scenes of farewell to her previous life or of Catarina trying to go toward the future were memorable. "Hamefura" is a so-called "reincarnation anime", and it is the world of "FORTUNE LOVER" with that premise, so there was a farewell scene that Catarina could decide to live in this world. I think it was a very important scene for Catarina to come back to where everyone was waiting. Apart from that, the large amount of dialogue in one episode left a strong impression on me (laughs). After episode1, I was determined to play Catarina, I felt like "I'll do it!" ーーSpeaking of "Hamefura", Catarina's brain meeting is a special thing. I think it's a rare case to play various different personalities of the same character, how have you managed it? Uchida: Actually, there were people who referred to Catarina 5, and I was wondering what kind of character I should go with during the dubbing of season 1, but I also wondered how bearish Catarina would with that person. I've been fleshing out more and more from the cast's plays, and now I have Catarina 5. It's up to you to imagine who hit which Catarina! ーーBy the way, do you have a personality that you would like to play like this, assuming that you can create a new inner Catarina? Please tell us the reason. Uchida: Right... It's like Snufkin. I'm holding it diagonally, but I like Catarina, who says an important word when it happens, and everyone reacts, "That's it!". ーーIn this project, we are also interviewed Okasaki Miho. What kind of person is Okasaki-san from Uchida-san's point of view? Please let tell us about any memorable moments. Uchida: Since we are from the same office, we've met a lot, so I feel that she is growing very much. I really like the way how those two collide with each other through trial and error, and I want to help them because there is a part that overlaps with me. I'm on good terms with Matsuoka-kun, and while having that kind of friendliness, I think it's nice to be able to express opinions without hesitation. I want her to grow bigger and bigger from now on. One of the most striking events was that I brought clothes that I didn't wear in the office, and at that time I brought them first (laughs). During this time, the clothes may come to the scene and my hobbies may match, so I hope that I will absorb various things from me. ーーAt last, could you please leave a message for readers? Uchida: I'm thrilled because it's season 2 which I've been waiting for. Both OP and ED are cool, and it is done in "Hamefura" style, and I think it would be great if you will look forward to the characters to appear one after another and the story developing. Not only the Giords but also each of Catarina 5 is doing their best. Maybe not only Catarina 5 but also the characters I play will increase (laughs). Please look forward to it.

The first film adaptation of the TV anime series "Jujutsu Kaisen", "Jujutsu Kaisen 0", will be released on December 24, 2021. Since the announcement of the film adaptation, there has been a lot of interest in "who will be voicing over" the main character of the film, Okkotsu Yuta, and this time, it has been revealed. This work is serialized in "Weekly Shonen Jump" (published by Shueisha), a very popular manga series that has sold over 50 million copies (as of June 4, 2021). The main character of the movie is Okkotsu Yuta, who lost his childhood friend Rika, whom he promised to marry, in front of him in a car accident and became possessed by her. The curse of Rika's immense power hurts everyone around him. He has avoided relationships with people for most of his life, but when he meets Gojo Satoru, a teacher at Jujutsu High School, he vows to break the Rika's curse. Okkotsu Yuta will be played by Ogata Megumi, who has played neutral characters, those with two sides, and those with strong personalities, such as Kurama/Minamino Shuichi in "YuYu Hakusho", Ikari Shinji, the main character in the "Evangelion" series, and Sailor Uranus/ Tenou Haruka in the "Sailor Moon" series. The author of the original work, Akutami Gege, envisioned Okkotsu as "neutral, soft, and gentle, with large swings and drops of emotion," and Ogata Megumi was mentioned as an example of an actor who would be close to that image. The director of the film, Park Sunghoo, and the anime staff unanimously agreed on this decision.

The TV anime series "Boruto: Naruto Next Generations" is currently being broadcast on TV Tokyo. Uchida Yuma as Kawaki I'm Uchida Yuma, who is voicing Kawaki! The first manga I bought in my life was "Naruto". It's unbelievable for me to be part of "Boruto", which inherits that world view and spins a new story, and I'm very happy. I am overwhelmed by Kawaki's sharp eyes and strong presence, but I hope I can fulfill this role. Please look forward to it! Nakamura Yuuichi as Kashin Koji I chased the original from "Naruto" to the role of "Kashin Koji", but it fits quite well now! (Laughs) I'm just grateful that I can play Kashin Koji who I got interested in reading "Boruto". Just recently, the identity in the comics was revealed, but... I'm excited! I would like to play the scene as soon as possible, and I will do my best to work on the TV series. Otsuka Akio as Amado My name is Otsuka Akio and I will be playing Amado in the "Boruto" series. Looking back, I've been involved since the time of "Naruto", and I'm honored to be part of the work again. Amado seems to be a hard character to deal with, but I will walk with him through the story of Shinobi to the future. I'm looking forward to your continued support for the manga and the TV anime series. Kuwashima Houko as Delta I will play Delta, a member of "Kara"! Delta is a sly, courageous, and eccentric character, and she's a very fun character to play. Also, there are only reliable people in the team as co-stars, and I am happy to be able to participate there. Right now, I want to perform against Boruto as soon as possible... I feel like praying that the day will be as early as possible (laughs). Thank you for your support! Miyake Kenta as Boro I'm Miyake Kenta. This time I will be in charge of Boro, one of the members of the "Kara". Anyway, he's a mystery. I'm playing him, but I don't know where he ends, and I'm terrified about what kind of darkness Boro will show in the future. I feel that he can be one of the threats for Boruto and his friends, so I would like to rampage to the extent when Boruto is tattered. Thank you. Terashima Junta as Code I've been reading "Naruto" since elementary school, so I'm really happy to be able to appear in the sequel "Boruto". Code is a mysterious character, so every time I get a new script, I discover something new. What kind of secret does he hide? What is his deal with Boruto? Please look forward to future developments! Ikemoto Mikio Last year I commented, "Kawaki finally will speak in the anime!", and this time Kawaki really moves and speaks! They will be brought to life by the divine work of the anime staff and voice actors and will show even more charm that is comparable to Boruto and Naruto. Currently, in the manga, a deadly battle with a certain strong enemy has entered a climax, and we are about to reach a turning point. Do you remember the scene at the beginning of the first episode? Yes, that scene where Boruto and Kawaki in the form of a young man confront each other. I can't tell you the entire story, but it's not too far when they show their "grown-up" form. Why are they hostile? Is Naruto in danger? Don't miss the series of raging billows! (C) Kishimoto Masashi Scott / Shueisha / TV Tokyo / Pierrot
