Amamiya Ten's Interview: A Restart as a Singer
Since April of this year, a name has appeared in front of anime fans, especially voice actors, like an explosive new star. She is Amamiya Ten. In addition to playing important roles in many of the current new episodes, Amamiya Tian also made his singer debut not long ago. Recently, some Japanese media conducted an exclusive interview with her, let's see what charm Amamiya Dafa implies!
■ Concentrate on the difficult songs and finish the work calmly
Q: Amamiya-sama has made her debut as a singer. To commemorate this event, let's have an exclusive interview today.
Amamiya: That's amazing! I had just heard about this interview and photo shoot, and I thought it was, "Wow! (laughs). But it didn't help to be nervous anyway, so I happily accepted the shooting job. And the content of the shooting is also some scenes of going out to play, so I am more free to express Xiàn.
Q: When it was decided that the singer would make her debut, how did Ms. Amamiya feel?
Amamiya: At first, I heard that I was going to work for "Chop! When Crimson Pupil sang the theme song, I wondered if it would be sung in the name of the character song this time. It turned out to be in my own name...... It's unbelievable (laughs)! So there's no realism at all. But I tried to sing it during the practice, and then it was time for the official recording. In the process, I slowly realized, "Ah, I made my debut as a singer...... but although I was able to sing this song "Skyreach" in my own name, I didn't have the mood to "officially start my career as a singer from this moment" in my heart. I don't really feel that I will continue to develop in this direction in the future.
Q: Was Amamiya interested in singing and music activities in the first place?
Amamiya: My thoughts are changing little by little. However, for singing, it's just "if you need to, I'll sing it", and what I really want to do is still the voice actor's work. Of course, I also like to sing, and I always hope that my singing level can get better. But for a while, because I thought too much about this aspect, I became disgusted. That's a challenge. I was a little hopeless, and I felt like I could only feel disillusioned when I listened to my own songs (laughs). And now that I've made my debut as a singer, I can't leave the song, so even if I feel hopeless, I can only keep practicing and improving to break through my own difficulties. I think the level of singing in the future will definitely be stronger than now. In that sense, I think it's a great thing to be able to debut.
■I was a little shy when I looked at myself working so hard
Q: This time, the song is the TV anime "Slash! The theme song of Crimson Pupils.
Amemiya: I watched the first and second episodes before the show started, so let's try it out in advance. …… Heck, the graphics are beautiful, but there are a lot of scary plots, and the night after watching it, I had a nightmare (laughs). I think the horror atmosphere of the original work is very well restored to the animation, and the content of human madness and the darkness of the empire is also perfectly expressed. I guess I like it even though it's scary. The music of the battle scenes is also very oppressive, all in all, so handsome! And there will also be a little bit of funny plot, and I think this work has a variety of charms, which is exciting.
Q: The red pupil played by Miss Amamiya can be said to be a character who cuts through the darkness of the empire.
Amamiya: That being said, neither the Imperial nor the Red Hitomi are actually justice, right? As a result, Red Hitomi is just an executioner who takes people's lives, which is not justice, just because they think differently. I hope you will pay attention to this part related to human feelings.
Q: Before she made her debut with this song, Ms. Amamiya also starred in the TV anime "Friends of the Week". At that time, it was under the name of "Kaori Fujimiya" that the ending song "Sota" of this work was sung. Now after listening to your singing voice in "Skyreach" and the voice of the red pupil, I can't imagine that I am the same person in "Friends of the Week". I think many people will be surprised by this contrast.
Amemiya: I think that as a voice actor, I should be able to play a completely different role. The fact that he sings songs with very different styles such as guò character songs also reflects his privileges as a voice actor. I'm very happy when I say that. Of course, if I change the style of the songs and characters all at once, then I have to change myself, and there are many difficult things in this regard.
Q: Speaking of difficulties, this is the first time you've ever worked on a music edit. Don't you also think that "everything is difficult at the beginning"?
Amamiya: I was a little nervous at first, but I got the lyrics wrong a lot (laughs)! At the beginning of the shoot, the music played, and then I had to lip-sync to the music, but I didn't know where the lyrics went. I wondered, "Huh...... What is this doing? "That's when I gradually found the feeling, but it was more difficult anyway.
Q: During the filming, there was a scene where Amamiya was sleeping on the floor, and there were feathers floating and piling up on your body. I feel that it is not easy to shoot in this area.
Amamiya: That feather was the real thing, of course, and it really landed on me from the sky. There aren't many opportunities like that. If the falling feathers hit the nose, they had to be re-photographed, so it was repeated several times.
Q: After watching the music clip that was completed, how did Ms. Amamiya feel about her watch?
Amemiya: Looking at the way I look in the frame, I still feel shy. After all, I knew exactly what was going on during the shoot. At that time, I put in a lot of effort and tried my best to perform...... But when I watched it again, I was still a little ashamed of myself for that kind of hard work. I feel like I'm "burned out" (laughs).
Q: I guess there is enough value in hard work or "burnout". Sometimes Amamiya will look at us on the screen, and this kind of scene will also make people's hearts move.
Amemiya: This is also the time when I couldn't figure out the state at all, and the staff said, "Don't look at the camera all the time, just look at it once in a while," and I was relieved to look at the camera at the time I imagined, and the result was good (laughs).
Q: This debut song was also "hard to believe" by Ms. Amamiya at first, but not only did she sing the song, but Ms. Amamiya also participated in the production of the video.
Amemiya: That's why I'm able to give you an interview today. As for me, I wish there was another chance (laughs).
Q: What type of song would Amamiya want to sing next time?
Amemiya: I haven't thought too much about it, but this time it's also a "singer's debut" in various senses, but I still strongly hope that I can sing songs as a voice actor and use this privilege to express different styles of songs. Also, what I want to do most is to become the "main character" of various songs and convey the ideas in the lyrics to everyone.

■Amamiya Ten's opinion of Ethelam Viser Aryosia
The highlight of the princess is that she can act calmly and calmly no matter what the situation. It seems that the innate courage and judgment are actually thanks to the princess education she received since childhood.
The princess's attitude - even if danger is approaching her, she still wants to defend everyone. This kind of affection is also very much in line with the identity of the superior.
Princess's fashion - the smaller body wears a well-fitting skirt that is light and elegant. It is precisely because she is a princess that she can wear such a costume, and this snow-white color scheme is also eye-catching.
Amamiya Ten's recommended highlights! ――
I think the princess's curiosity about everything is great! In the first episode, when she learns about Earth from Srein's mouth, her eyes light up and she looks excited. I think this is the cutest place that a girl can show.
