In my Tumblr, I had promised (am I????) to translate them into English, because they in Malay in this magazine. The anime; Shirokuma Cafe. The seiyuu involved is 3 main character;
[ ] : My personal comment when read this.
This is I translate from the Kreko’s Magazine; The exclusive
interview with 3 main character(seiyuu) in Shirokuma Cafe. Sorry for my broken
English. =w=;
1) What is the main
attraction in this anime?
S: No need
to think twice, you only need to watch them with your eyes. That is the factor
the most attracting me. The humor storyline, always make everyone laughing. The
animal can talk and live together with human being. I think that’s so awesome.
It is story that make someone have a lot of expection and enjoy!
F: How I
want to say, eh? The life of animals that like a human give a impressive reaction and make someone feel so~wierd. The
cute animals that beyond the reality had boost the storyline. I never see the
story like this before so this is the unique attraction.
K: ‘The
Harmony Conversation between Animal and Human Being’, when heard this
introduction, you might be won’t attract with this anime. So, you need to watch
1st episode first. I’m guarantee, after you watch the 1st
episode, you will be attracted with this anime. May be, your mouth will nagging
“What it is?”, but, you will follow the episode by episode until the end. I
think, this the attraction of this anime. [Totally AGREE!]
2) Can you story the
recording situation and any funny moment that happened?
F: Usually, all the seiyuu will be recording together. There
everyone should be relax and calm. But, when stand in front the microphone,
everyone starting to worry. This situation rarely happen (laugh). The Shirokuma,
Panda, and Penguin, when the seiyuu start talking, then, the identity had been
create. And this make me feeling happy (laugh). But, the problem there is,
there will be got someone will complaining. [I also not sure about the last
sentence, but, may be he mean the ‘director’]
3) What your feeling
after read the original arts, and is there got any your favorite scene?
K: When
first time I read the original arts, I make an opinion, this stories only
happened in the Animal’s World only. But, suddenly, appear the human, and in
that time, I was ‘kidnapped’ going INSIDE the story (laugh). There is human
being, and animals, and you can’t guess the ending. When I think are this anime
could perform the same attraction, that’s make my heart ‘fell’ to the original
arts.
F: The
original arts after Shirokuma Cafe, there also 3 more other volumes. I’m sure
Shirokuma Cafe is from 1st volume, but, the next volume...I dunno
which volume should I buy. The title of this book so interesting. I starting
read from the middle, so from the early I already know about human live with
animals. So, there no feeling when I read from the start. When first time read
the original arts, I’m complaining, but, surprisingly, I can’t stop from
reading them. With my imagination, I can feel the contents in this story so
interesting. I’m sure, the people outside there also like me, complaining at
the first, but at the end you’ll fall in love with it.
S: The
character so interesting. Every animal having their own characteristic. Because
they are animal, so there a lot of parts that make us complaining when reading.
The original arts so cute and fun, but, only now can comment like that. When
the first time recording first episode, because I can’t imagine how to perform,
feel so~ confuse. Until now, I know the way. So, every the recording moment,
must be found something new and that’s so amusing. Other than that, the
storyline also interesting, you should use the different way to enjoy this
arts. I can’t wait for for pig’s appearance. [PIG?! O___o]
4) What the similarity
between you and the character that you role?
S: Joking?
(laugh) I understand his feeling. Sadly, if there a joking materials, but, you
didn’t say that. But, after you said, other people will make the reaction, “
Wah! He make a joking again!”. So, recently I am control myself. Shirokuma is
the character that is hard to understand. There got peoples said like that to
me too. And, I think that was our similarity.
F: Even our
attitude is different, but, both of us [he and Panda] are hot-tempered a bit.
But, in the same time, we are loved by the people surrounding us!
S & K:
(laugh)
K: The
characteristic of Penguin is complaining. I also loves to complaining [Yeah!
King of Tsundere XD]. So....I think this not our similarity. But, the ‘cool’
attitude of Penguin make me feel that is our similarity [Liar! XD]
5) Excuse me, Who is the
person? [about this question, I don’t know where the related and this
suddenly appear, I guess it’s related with the ‘similarity’]
All: ONO
DAISUKE!
S: He’ll go
around and said “This character totally like me, Ono Daisuke” (laugh) [WHAT?!
XDDD]
F: And then,
the everyone will say “Hey, you...”(laugh). When the recording run more often,
the everyone character become more identified. But, the new seiyuu still felt
nervous when recording. We are so enjoy the recording moment, because the story
so interesting. When the recording is on-going, everyone will be so serious and
the surrounding change into tense.
K: The
cheerful situation. Our preparation are different for every anime. There
sometimes, we need to practice earlier and memorize the script. There also got
sometimes just practice before the recording. And for this anime, I practice
before recording. If too much practice, there will be a problems. So, I’ll
practice only once before go to recording studio. If I am not distance the
script, then, I can’t make the voices that I want. Even though we recording
together, but still have a challenge.
S: Freedom
but need a details. This thing is most important.
6) Is that difficult to
do animals voice?
S: Honestly,
I also confuse want to use which voice for animal.
K: When
recording, the people will comment “ Your voices like human, please do that
more to animal”, so, I’m thinking, if human being laugh “hahahaha...”...but, how
animal laughing? K
F: The
extereme character are more easier, but a bit tough for the romance scene.
7) After oftenly
recording, is you had overcome this problem?
F: After I
had used it, I can give more feeling and can control it more better now.
S: “Remember,
Don’t be a human”, that’s words remains in my mind! ^^
K: Penguin
is a calm character. He no need to show a lot of his feeling. But, when he
starting to drunk, he will exposed all his romance side, and I need to know how
to express this character.
8) May you tell us a bit
about the opening song “Boku ni Invitation” and the ending song “Bamboo✩Scramble”?
What Fukuyama Jun’s feeling when sing the ending song?
F: The
melody for “Boku ni Invitation” is very nice and the singer are so awesome! So,
suitable with anime Shirokuma Cafe. I felt grateful because have a chance for
sing the ending song; “Bamboo✩Scramble”.
This is first time I sing the ending song alone. It’s absolutely song that is
special for Panda. This ending song is describing all about him.
K: First
time listen to “Boku ni Invitation”, the music so cheerful and, I started to
thinking it is suit for this anime? But, when listen them in TV together with
the lyrics, it is the great song! “Bamboo✩Scramble” is character song. It’s succesfully perform the character
Panda through the song. Lyrics and the melody is nice, but, I’m praise with
Fukuyama Jun’s performance.
S: “Boku ni
Invitation” is very suitable as a opening song for Shirokuma Cafe and “Bamboo✩Scramble” make me feel
surprised that he can used thet sing
style for performing the ending song. Congratz! ^^
Honestly, I know about Maaya earlier than SuzuKen. I know her when I starting watching Animax. But, at first I only thought that she is the singer ONLY. Her songs that I know in that time is LOOP(Tsubasa Chronicle), PURACHINA (Cardcaptor Sakura), and Kazemachi Jet (Tsubasa Chronicle 2). That's songs when I FIRST TIME know about her. Later then, I know she is seiyuu; Ciel Phantomhive, Fujioka Haruhi and many more characters, and yeah, she is one of the earliest seiyuu that I know, other than Horie Yui.
In SuzuKen case, I starting know about him early of last year. When I read the articles about Starry Sky in Arena Komik. I immediately interested to this anime, so I share with my kohai. She watch earlier than me, and she admit she loves Tsubasa so much. Well, at first I also wonder why she loves him...until I watch the anime. Oh yeah! The character so impressive to me, and the seiyuu is...Suzumura Kenichi. In that time I know about him, and when I find all the seiyuu pictures, I immediately fell into him after saw his picture(OMG! Sorry Maaya >///////<). Plus, my loves toward him become stronger after watch Kamen Rider Den-O!!! He as Ryutaros DAMMIT-HELL-CUTE! XD
