Interview with C3HK

Source@和evil society

It's been a month since the end of C3 in Hong Kong, and we have reported a lot on this show in this month, every year C3 will invite many voice actors and supervisors in the industry, and many well-known anisong singers will be invited to participate in the grand anisonglive for the audience, and this year's C3 finale anisong singers are two singers from JamProject Masami Okui, Konobu Kageyama, and another guest Kanako Ito.

First of all, let's briefly introduce these guests:

Presumably, Chinese ACG lovers must be no stranger to Miss Kanako Ito, the Gate of the Stone of Destiny and the famous songs in the Song of Saya are all sung by Miss Kanako Ito. Moreover, Miss Kanako Ito has also been to Guangzhou, and the evil society has also interviewed Miss Kanako Ito.

Another guest, Masami Okui, is also a veteran singer who has been famous for a long time, and she is also featured in "Space Battleship", "Girl Revolution", and "Show Teasing Magician". He joined jamProject in 2002. And Masami Okui is one of the main initiators of AnimeloSummerLive.

The last guest, Kageyama Koshin (Kageyama ヒロノブ), has the biggest origin, first of all, Kageyama Konobu has become a very famous musician in the 80s with his performances or music productions in many works such as Dragon Ball, Saint Seiya, Ultraman, etc. And in 2000, under the call of Konobu Kageyama, a number of Anison singers were gathered, and the strongest singing group in Anison history JAMProject was born.

After reading the brief introduction of these three heavyweight guests, let's take a look at the grand occasion of the three guests' performances and interviews in Hong Kong while the iron is hot.

1. Ms. Ito has appeared in LIVE in Guangzhou, China before, do you have any plans to go to mainland China in the future?

Ito: I haven't made a reservation yet, but if I am invited, I will definitely go. I'll try.

2. Mr. Kageyama is a veteran singer, many of his songs are very hot-blooded, and he is well known to the majority of Chinese anime. Do you also maintain a burning heart in your life?

Kageyama: Yes. As soon as I got on the stage, I felt very excited, and my feelings were high. Naturally, every time.

Okui: It's the same on weekdays. (laughs)

3. What does Miss Okui think is the difference between the singing style of the previous anime songs and the current anime songs?

Okui: It's been 10 years since I joined JAMPROJECT, and most of them are male, so the songs I sing are more masculine and my voice is low. When I used to sing, my voice was thinner and more feminine. It was all of you at JAMPROJECT who made me change that.

4. Miss Okui is both a singer and a lyricist, do you think the melody or lyrics of the song are important?

Okui: That's a very deep question. Both sides are important. In the case of composing music first and then lyrics, the lyrics are written according to the worldview of the song. IT'S THE SAME IN JAMPROJECT. But the message itself is conveyed through the guò language, and in this sense, the lyrics are also important. So I think both are important.

5. Miss Ito participated in the C3 event for the first time, what do you think of the fans in Hong Kong?

Ito: It's great to see the response from the fans.

6. Mr. Kageyama, JAMPROJECT's songs are intense, do you want to know what message the guò song conveys to the fans?

Kageyama: Most of JAMPROJECT's songs are powerful and uplifting songs, such as super machine qì human battles, games, and tooth wolves, and heroic stories that tell the story of fighting difficulties and finally realizing their dreams. I would like to tell my fans that even if there is something difficult, they must strive to surpass the breakthrough.

7. Miss Okui, I have held a concert in Hong Kong before, do you have any plans to sing in Hong Kong or do LIVE with other singers in the future?

Okui: If you invite me, you will definitely come. It's okay to be alone, and it's good to be with Kanako, and it's more fun and fun to sing with everyone than to be alone. I'll discuss the plan with the company. Thank you for your support.

8. Mr. Kageyama, which song is your favorite song in your work?

Kageyama: That's a tough question. I still like songs that I can sing with everyone. For example, "CHA-LAHEAD-CHA-La". The happiest song.

9. I heard that several of you will go to Taiwan next week to participate in ANISAMAWORLD, how are you preparing for it? How do you feel?

Ito: This is the fifth time I've held a concert in Taiwan, so it's a good match. Just like Hong Kong, fans in Taiwan are enthusiastic about Japanese anime songs. And it's such a big project as ANISAMA, so I feel honored and looking forward to it.

Kageyama: ANISAMA is held every year in Japan, and it's not the first time it's been held in Shanghai, but it's the first time it's in Taiwan, so we're going to do our best to make everyone happy.

Okui: ANISAMAWORLD was also held in Tokyo. Therefore, I want to try to reproduce the same things in Taiwan in the same way. It may be a bit of a spoiler to say this, there will be some groups that everyone likes, and Taiwanese singers will also perform together, please look forward to it.

10. In 2012, JAMPROJECT announced that it would graduate from ANISAMA, but fans in Japan and overseas still want JAMPROJECT to attend ANISAMA, and this year marks the 10th anniversary of ANISAMA. Will you be able to stand on the ANISAMA stage again?

Kageyama: Even though it's the 10th anniversary, we've been asked to do it, but we haven't decided yet, so it's good to be able to act. If someone invites, we'll play.

Okui: It's been 10 years. I really want to act, but I can't say that I want to act, because it's all decided by the top. If you can appear, you will post a message. Please be patient. I don't know what to expect. But I'd love to play if I can

This work is jointly produced by the Nishio City New Culture Creation Committee and the Nishio City Tourism Association. The manga writers are also local manga artists, and they are "あまの非" and "あしの理", and the two formed a group called "Mao Kombu" to draw zuò products together.

The promotional video of the work is planned to be produced three times a year. And there will also be a character recording every month for network distribution. Among them, Takahiro Sakurai and Dai Yongyi's cousins are naturally more worth looking forward to.

This is not the first time that Nishio City has been working on anime-related projects. As early as 2013, the ferry operated by Nishio City used the broadcast of the Sakushima mascot "あさりん", and it was the voice actor Yukino May who voiced this mascot. The local area also hopes to promote the revitalization of various tourism industries in the form of guò animation.

In addition to Nishio City, "Manga Iwate" in Iwate Prefecture, for example, also became a hot spot in the industry for a time. In the future, the close ties between local governments and anime in Japan will bring more works to anime fans.

The "Light Novel Festival" is a professional event that has been held since 2001, and has gradually increased in popularity in the decade since then, and is now a festival that cannot be ignored by the industry and light novel fans. Each year's festival will have a theme, and the on-site planning will also revolve around the theme.

As the theme of the 11th "Light Novel Festival", the organizers chose "Light Novel X Game". In addition, two related projects were announced.

First of all, the first project was to "adapt a light novel into a game". The project will invite Takasuke Futami, a well-known game maker, to come and hold a symposium. Takasuke Futami has previously been in charge of adapting popular light novels such as "I Have Few Friends" and "Sword Art Online" into games, so it can be said that he has a lot of experience. In particular, his "My Sister Can't Be So Cute Portable" has achieved excellent sales of more than 100,000 units, and has become one of the representative works of light games. So what kind of topics will he be talking about at that time? Naturally, this is worth keeping an eye on for light novel fans, and fans of the game should not miss out on such a great opportunity.

Secondly, as the second project content "light novel deTRPG", the official will also invite light novel writer Wisteria ケイ to have a meeting discussion about tabletop role-playing games on the spot.

The sequel to "Frozen" is undecided, and the musical comes first

"Ice and Snow Adventure" is one of the most important works in the history of animation. She won two Oscars and broke the box office record for an animated film set by "Toy Story 3", becoming the highest-grossing animated film in history, winning unanimous praise from people of all ages. Every day in the United States, cute children are heard singing the melody of "Letitgo" on the street. "Ice Adventure" has become an integral part of American children's childhood.

However, what is surprising is that the American media recently reported that Disney has no plans for "Ice and Snow Adventure 2".

Recently, at the Tribeca Film Festival, Disney President Alan Horn attended the Bloomberg Entertainment Industry Breakfast Forum and made a speech. He said the studio has been busy with several other upcoming productions in the near future. When the media asked questions about Pirates of the Caribbean 5 and Star Wars 7, they also asked about the movements of Snow Adventures 2. For a long time, in the film industry, whether a work will have a sequel depends entirely on whether the audience wants to watch it or not. Plans for a sequel to a hit are almost always on the agenda. But Horn's answer is almost unprecedented: no one in Disney has even mentioned a sequel.

Disney has always been a savvy company. It will not miss any opportunity to continue to create value from its brands. Therefore, it is difficult for us to understand why Disney did not plan for "Ice Adventure 2" early this time. Ice Adventure is truly fantastic, worthy of any accolades, and a flawless work that no one won't expect from its sequel. Indeed, "Ice and Snow Adventure 2" may only be a dog-tailed continuation of the mink, which will stain the perfect predecessor. But Horn's words are still incredible.

However, there is also news that Disney is busy launching the Broadway stage play of "Snow Adventure". This also means that "Ice Adventure" will be the first animated film to be brought to the stage after "The Lion King" and "Beauty and the Beast". Anyone who has seen the original must remember the rich musical elements of this work. This also makes the opera version of "Ice and Snow Adventure" even more exciting. Maybe Disney really doesn't want to make "Ice and Snow Adventure 2", but it will never forget to squeeze out the full value of "Ice and Snow Adventure". Let's look forward to the release of "Ice and Snow Adventure" on Broadway!

Dream Eater author Oba Thrush has released a new work after two years

Manga artist Oba Thrush, the author of the popular manga "Death-Notes" and "The King of Explosive Man", will publish a short story in the 23rd issue of the manga magazine "Weekly Youngjump" (Shueisha Ibu Edition), which will be released on May 8, and it will be a completely new work two years after the completion of "The King of Explosive Man".

The new comic is titled Skip! Yamada (スキップ! Yamada). Just like Obata's previous works, this time Obara is still the original story, and the art is given to Robico, the author of "The Strange Classmate Next Door" (now serialized in the shoujo manga magazine Dessert). It was the first time that Oba Thrush and Ken Obata had teamed up to create a manga.

《Skip! Yamada is a manga with a junior high school boy, Yamada, as the protagonist of the story. The protagonist of the story, Yamada, is very afraid of trouble, and most hopes that every day can be relaxed and leisurely, but the reality always backfires, and one day he encounters some trouble......

AKB48 members will star in the live-action version of "Blue Oni".

Japan's popular free-to-play game Blue Oni has been rumored to be made into a live-action movie. At the same time, AKB48 member Anna Iriyama has also confirmed that she will play the lead role for the first time in this movie.

And starring in this film industry marks a big step in her direction towards a female star. Talking about the film, Iriyama said, "When I heard that I was going to act in this movie, my eyes turned into two dots (laughs). I had thought that one day I would take on the challenge of acting, but suddenly I was asked to act in a movie, and I was also a starring actor...... This surprised me. While I was feeling joyful, I was also quite stressed and confused."

The original game of "Blue Ghost" is a popular free-to-play game that has been viewed more than 50 million times on sites such as YouTube and Niconico Anime. Players will need to solve the mysteries and traps they possess in various parts of the game in order to escape the locked space.

Although he expressed his anxiety about appearing in a movie for the first time, Iriyama still expressed a confident attitude: "The game "Blue Oni" is also quite influential among the AKB members, and many girls enjoy playing it, so although I was a little nervous about the live-action version, I felt very fulfilled and felt a sense of accomplishment when the shooting was over. It would be nice if this work could be watched by more people. ”

And Anna Iriyama also showed the side of a qualified actor: "When you are an idol, you naturally need to look cute and make people feel sparkling; But when I was shooting, I needed to throw away that personality. I had to forget about my idol's smile and think about how to put on a look of fear. In this way, I was able to integrate into the character (the character's name also happens to be Anna) and complete the shooting. ”

In this work, transfer student Instant, who can't fit into the new class, is imprisoned with his classmates in the "Jailhouse", where monsters are said to appear, and they are desperately trying to escape from it. Judging from the subject matter, it is a horror film. In addition to Anna Iriyama, Kenta Suga, Chen Neijiang, Seiya, Hoshinatsu Furuhata, Ozeki Riku and others are also starring members.

The movie "Blue Ghost" will be released in Japan from July 5.
