On September 4, the "Doraemon Festival" will be celebrating Doraemon's birthday with "Dora Birthday Eve 2021 Special" and "Doraemon's Birthday Special". Minase Inori (Commander of the Dorayaki aliens) --You are appearing in "Doraemon" for the first time, how did you feel when you received the offer? Doraemon is loved all over the world...! By watching TV broadcasts and movies, I went on adventures with Doraemon and learned what friendship is and what courage is. I'm really happy to be able to appear in a Doraemon film, everyone's friend! --What did you keep in mind when playing the role of the commander of the Dorayaki aliens? When I heard the word "commander", I imagined a big, dignified, and mature voice, so I was very nervous when I opened the script...! But what I found there was !!!! You will have to wait to see what kind of commander I was! --The voice actors of the "Dorayaki Alien Army" were a gorgeous group of people. When the cast members were introduced before the recording, I remember my heart jumping and thinking, "Oh... I'm really going to participate in the recording of Doraemon now...". I was recording in the same recording booth as Mizuta Wasabi, Seki Tomokazu, and Morikawa Toshiyuki. I was so happy to receive Mizuta-san's special 25th anniversary Tirol chocolates! --What does Doraemon mean to you? He is a superhero! Doraemon is really cool because he reminds us that being strong is not all about strength, and that the strength of the heart is important and cherished. "Dokodemo Door"... Everyone has wanted one of these at least once, maybe a hundred times, haven't they? I want one too. --Please leave a "Happy Birthday Message" for Doraemon! Doraemon! Happy birthday! Thank you for always giving me courage! Please eat lots of Dorayaki! And actually, I have the same birthday as Dorami.(laugh) I'll always love you, Doraemon! --Please leave a message for our viewers! Of course, Doraemon is the main character, but...! Why are there so many troubles? What is the Dorayaki Alien Army, and who are they? Will Doraemon's birthday be celebrated safely? Please look forward to the broadcast! Maeno Tomoaki (as Dorayaki Alien (1)) ---- This is the second time you have appeared in "Doraemon". How did you feel when you received the offer? I have all the Doraemon comics and have seen all the movie versions since I was a child, so I was very happy to be asked to participate in this special episode again. --What did you keep in mind when playing the role of the Dorayaki aliens? I was told to "use the image of dubbing for a foreign movie," so I tried to express myself naturally without being pulled in by the appearance of the character. I also tried to ad-lib as much as the character allowed me to. --The voice actors of the "Dorayaki Alien Army" were a gorgeous lineup, what were your thoughts on the recording? Everyone's approach was so impressive that I felt like I was dubbing for a science fiction movie (laughs). It was a very friendly scene, partly because we were able to record with each other. I often talk with Tomokazu Seki, who plays Suneo, about his love for Doraemon, and I was very happy when he introduced me to the staff in the lobby during a break, saying, "Maeno-kun really likes Doraemon.” --What does Doraemon mean to you? It's a dream. Since I was a child, I have been moved to tears many times by the dependability of Nobita and the strength of Gian's friendship in the movie version. My voice actor friend, Terashima Takuma, and I go to see the movie every year, and we often talk about Doraemon in private. Every summer, I want to go to the beach or the mountains, so that phrase reminds me of " Doraemon: Nobita and the Castle of the Undersea Devil," or when I hear the word "justice," I immediately think of the insert song "Yume no Hito" from "Doraemon: Nobita and Fantastic Three Musketeers," so Doraemon still holds a large part in my life. The secret tools that left a strong impression on me in the original comics are the "Gorgon's Head" and the "Devil Card". Through Doraemon, I learned that tools can be dangerous if they are used in the wrong way. --Please leave a "Happy Birthday Message" for Doraemon! Happy birthday, Doraemon! I'll always be your friend. --Please leave a message for the viewers! Although the story touches on Doraemon's birthday, there is a very exciting development waiting for you. As a Doraemon fan, I did my best in the recording, so I hope you enjoy it. Please bring some dorayaki when you watch it! I hope you enjoy it! Komatsu Mikako (as Dorayaki Alien (2)) --How did you feel when you received the offer to appear in "Doraemon" for the first time? I never thought the day would come when I would be able to appear in Doraemon, which I have been familiar with since I was a child, both in manga and anime! And since it's a birthday special, it's an even more special episode...! I was filled with happiness and nervousness. During the recording, I kept the "Doraemon Volume 0 Pouch" in my bag as a good luck charm. --What did you keep in mind when you were playing the role of the Dorayaki Alien? "I was ordered to speak in a cool, Western style”, so despite my appearance, I tried to give the impression of a successful female agent. Surprisingly, however, there were scenes where I was directed to "Please be cute here! I hope that the gap between the two is also attractive. --The voice actors of the "Dorayaki Alien Army" were a splendid lineup, what were your impressions of the recording? Until the day of the recording, I didn't know who was going to play the characters, so I was surprised at the gap between my image and what I saw on the set (laugh)! The Dorayaki aliens all have gaps between their first impressions...! They are very peculiar aliens (laugh). Although we were in the same studio, we were divided into booths and talked to each other over monitors and headphones, so it was difficult to talk directly with them, but it was very enjoyable to feel the friendly atmosphere of the Doraemon recording. --What does Doraemon mean to you? Doraemon already existed when I was born, and I had all the manga volumes in my parents' house. Watching Doraemon on TV every week and watching the movie every year became a habit in my family, and Doraemon was etched into the rhythm of our lives (laughs). I love Doraemon, so "Dorami & Doraemons: Robot School's Seven Mysteries” is one of my favorite stories...! I'm looking forward to seeing Doraemon again someday. --Please leave a "Happy Birthday Message" for Doraemon! Happy Birthday, Doraemon! In fact, it'll be 91 years from now...? It's like a dream come true that I will be able to perform with Doraemon in my life. When I was little, I used to think, "Why am I growing up?” Now that I'm an adult, I'm so happy to meet you! Thank you for giving me so much hope! -- Please leave a message for the viewers! Doraemon's Birthday Special! So, it's not just a birthday! I never thought Doraemon's favorite dorayaki would turn out like this...! Anyway, Doraemon is just so cute! And more importantly, I realized once again that Doraemon is really loved by everyone. Please prepare your own dorayaki and enjoy! Toshiyuki Morikawa (Dorayaki alien, communications officer) --How did you feel when you received this offer? I'm honored to be able to appear in Doraemon. It's also a birthday special, so I feel very happy. --What did you keep in mind when you played the role of the Dorayaki alien communicator? I played the role of a Dorayaki alien very seriously. --The voice actors for the Dorayaki Alien Army were all gorgeous, what did you think of the recording? Minase Inori, who plays the commander, gave a wonderful performance, so I tried my best to keep up with her. --What does Doraemon mean to you? I remember when I was a child, I used to read the manga at my friend's house. It's a very good memory. I thought I wanted to be friends with Doraemon too. I was jealous of Nobita-kun. --Please send a "Happy Birthday Message" to Doraemon! Happy Birthday Doraemon! I'd like to give you a dorayaki as a present, but I don't know where to send it, so I'll just eat it myself (laugh). --Please give a message to the viewers! I'd like to have fun in celebration mode with you all. Please wait for me in front of the TV! Doraemon's Birthday Special (C) Fujiko-Pro, Shogakukan, TV Asahi, Shin-ei, ADK

"Say You to Yoasobi Wednesday'Komatsu Mikako X Uesaka Sumire X Aimi' #26" featuring the voice actresses Komatsu Mikako, Uesaka Sumire, and Aimi was broadcast on October 27, 2021, on the "Anime LIVE Channel" of the new futuristic TV "ABEMA". This was the third broadcast of the "Halloween Special Week", where the hosts of each day are dressed up in a costume, and the three hosts, Komatsu, Uesaka, and Aimi appear in the "China" theme. Various Halloween special corners, such as "Wednesday's Original Trick or Treat! Cheap Dim Sum Exchange" and "Let's record a Halloween-like Sound Effect". As the broadcast is a "Halloween Special", the three hosts appeared in the "China" theme costume while walking down the red carpet. Toward the three different appearance of the host, where Uesaka was wearing a China-style maid uniform, Aimi was a shy martial artist boy, and Komatsu was a wild panda, the audiences commented "It's so furry!", "Everyone is so cute!", "This is a sight for sore eyes!". After the three of them gathered up, they showed off their respective coordination, and the cosplay-lover Uesaka was excited toward the rare cosplay appearance of Komatsu and Aimi while saying "One of the fun things of Halloween is the shyness as you can't get used to the costume", "It's irresistible", and "The wild style is also cute~". Then, Uesaka posed to the camera while saying "Happy Halloween" as she showed off her service spirit by turning in high spirit. This caused Komatsu and Aimi to shout out "Ahhh!" and "It's out of this world!". The three host then cheers with the "China"-like drinks, which are Shaoxing wine and Oolong Tea, and the Halloween party started with a blast. The first corner "Wednesday's Original Trick or Treat! Cheap Dim Sum Exchange" featured the three exchanging the Dim Sum with a total value of 1000 JPY that they bought respectively. Along with the cue of "Trick or Treat! If you don't give me the cheap Dim Sum, I will play trick on you", they had showed off the prepared Dim Sum. However, an unexpected development had unfolded. Komatsu's choice of the convenience store's fried rice, spicy shrimp, and Xiaolongbao, Aimi's choice of the approximately 1000 JPY of a famous restaurant with 6 Xiaolongbao in a pack, and Uesaka's choice of "Seijo Ishii"'s Mapo Doufu and Xiaolongbao, have a mutual food, which is "Xiaolongbao". Toward the orthodox dim sum dish, the three nodded at the statement of "When we talk about dim sum, it should be Xiaolongbao!", and enjoyed comparing the taste of each Xiaolongbao while saying "These are all below 1000 JPY!? Convenience store is so amazing!", "The famous restaurant! It so tasty!", "You can feel the meaty juice!". On the second half of the program, the corner "Let's record a Halloween-like Sound Effect" was held, where the three of them recorded the Halloween-like sound effect and the sound effect unique to "Destruction Wednesday". There is a possibility that the recorded audio will be used on the "Halloween Special" limited opening trailer that will be played on Thursday and Friday. They had challenged recording various sound effect, such as the laughter of a bat and Dracula, and "WAO", upon the instructions by the staff. Komatsu has showed off a high-pitched laughter of "Gegegegege~", Uesaka has showed off various "WAO!" in a sexy version and horror version, and Aimi somehow answered with a sentence "My name is Aimi. The Dracula Aimi~". Toward Aimi "destroying" the recording of sound effect immediately, Uesaka showed off a splendid retort in Kansai dialect, saying "Why are you talking? Didn't they say they want a sound effect?". After that, it seemed that Aimi had understood it as she said "I got it! I can do it now!", and during the take two, she mentioned "Wahahaha.... Aimi. Wahahahaha... Aimi" without forgetting to appeal her name has caused another strong retort and the studio was filled with laughter. At the end of the program, it was revealed that Fairouz Ai will appear as a guest on November 3 broadcast. The three of them are looking forward to the broadcast while saying "Fai-chan!", "She'll destroy it nicely!".
