Interview with voice actor group StylipS

The voice actor group "StylipS", composed of four voice actors, Noto Yusa, Mirai Ito, Moe Toyoda, and Maho Matsunaga, has had a very good performance in the past year. StylipS' new album "THESUPERNOVASTRIKES" was officially released on November 26 last year, and as the first album of the current members, it contains all the singles released so far, as well as the original new songs, a total of four songs. This time, we had the opportunity to have the members of StylipS interview about the album "THESUPERNOVASTRIKES", so if you are interested in voice actors, don't miss it!

● "THESUPERNOVASTRIKES" is a word made for the new StylipS

INTERVIEWER Tell us about your feelings when the release of the new StylipS' debut album was decided.

Noto Arisa: Very happy! It's only been a year and a half since Mirai and Moe entered the group, but this time has been very fulfilling for me. The fans and staff are very satisfied with us, so we will continue to work hard in the future.

Mirai Ito: Ever since I joined StylipS with Moe E, I've been thinking that I'll be able to release an album one day, and I'm very happy that my dream has come true. It's great that everyone is working towards the same goal, and we will continue to do our best to meet your expectations.

Maho Matsunaga: While we are happy, we must work harder. The album was successfully released, and it is really great that we have the opportunity to convey our voice to everyone, thank you.

Moe Toyoda: I've always been a person who buys albums and listens to them, but I'm purely happy to be able to release them through my own efforts. Everything that only current StylipS members can do is gathered on this album, so I can't wait for it before it goes out.

- The title of the album "THESUPERNOVASTRIKES" means "supernova bombing", and I guess the term was used at last March's event. Why did you choose this term as the title of the album this time?

Noto Arisa: The title or title of the album is very important, and I think the name alone is important to make a lasting impression on the audience. FROM THIS POINT OF VIEW, THE ENGLISH "THESUPERNOVASTRIKES" USING "SUPERNOVA STRIKES" IS VERY SUITABLE FOR US.

INTERVIEWER The word "bombing" is really impactful, how did you first feel when you first heard it?

Moe Toyoda: I don't usually use this word, so I didn't feel used to it when I first heard it (laughs). But after many times of LIVE, I am already familiar with the word "bombing", and each LIVE itself can be said to be a "bombing".

Noto Arisa: When I first heard it, I burst into laughter (laughs). Isn't the word "bombing" too strong for the girl group? Such a feeling.

Toyoda Moe E: Where did the cuteness go? (laughs)

Maho Matsunaga: But that's also one of the highlights of StylipS, and it's something that only StylipS has.

Noto Arisa: After all, it's a ministry event (laughs).

Mirai Ito: I have a feeling of hot blood.

●"MelancholicSunshine" with a variety of tunes and "MakingOf "Especially" with a fashionable girly feel

INTERVIEWER So let's ask a few questions about the new song. The four songs on this album are all different, and it seems that the genre is divided according to the personalities of the four people.

Noto Arisa: It's not deliberately divided, but it's a piece of music based on the impressions of each of the four people.

- The title song of the album "Melancholic Sunshine" has the impression that it can be climbed to the sand, but where is the specific table?

Noto Yusha: Because it is the title song, the style of the song is very powerful and sunny. It sounds very light.

Toyoda Moe: There are a lot of tunes in this song, and the personalities of the four people are well expressed. Maho Matsunaga's singing, Noto Arisa's passion, Ito Mirai's quick mouth, and my own witty part is a song that gathers everyone's personalities.

Mirai Ito: That's true, it doesn't get tired of listening to it, and it has a sense of combination. "It's about to start!" That's what this piece says.

INTERVIEWER The contrast between "Melancholic" and "Melancholic" is very dramatic, what do you think?

Maho Matsunaga: The change in the tune is like a change in mood, and the lyrics are constantly interpreting the change in mood. When I first heard the title, I wondered what it would be like, but after listening to it many times, I did feel like it.

Mirai Ito: The girls in the song are very fond of recklessness, and there are lyrics in the song such as "Let me sue you for being reckless" and "I also realized that I was wrong", which echoes the title of the song. "Although we still have many shortcomings, please take care of them!" I think that's the message I want to convey to the audience.

Toyoda Moe Painting: Honor Student! I did my best to dilute the melancholy when I sang this song. (※ Mirai Ito is an honor student in StylipS)

It's a bit busy: melancholy and sun are almost antonyms.

INTERVIEWER This song was revealed in the previous "Hamamatsucho GreenSoundFesta-Hamamatsu-", how did you feel when you sang it?

Noto Yusa: Everyone waved together, and everyone would cater to the fast-paced part before the second chorus, which was very refreshing to sing.

Ito & Toyota: I'm very happy!

Maho Matsunaga: I left the high-pitched part of the song to me to sing. Because "Hama-matri" is an outdoor stage, my own voice seems to have spread far and wide. I was given such an important part, and I felt a sense of responsibility and reaffirmed my love for singing.

INTERVIEWER The manga-like sisters that appear in MusicVideo are very eye-catching.

Noto Arisa: This is our common setting of "secret detective" (laughs). Noto is in charge of the physical detective, Mirai is the mind detective, Maho is the sexy detective, and Moe is the hacker detective, and we fight to reclaim the gem called "MelancholicSunshine". It's pretty cool compared to the music videos so far.

INTERVIEWER How does photography work?

Moe Toyoda: Photography is also very fun! The scene where everyone runs away together and goes to the gem room together is very realistic, and it really makes my heart beat faster when the police lights are on.

Mirai Ito: I finished filming the dance part early that morning, and then I started filming the drama part. The whole process was very natural and the mood was very good.

Maho Matsunaga: The content and story are all pre-arranged, and it feels like you're making a movie. All in all, there are a lot of scenes running downstairs (laughs).

Noto Arisa: I started running after opening the door (laughs).

Maho Matsunaga: I'm playing a sexy detective, so I've been thinking about how to make my running moves sexier along the way. I was very happy to experience this kind of shooting for the first time.

Moe Toyoda: I really like the scene where my sister (Maho Matsunaga) takes off her hat (laughs). This hat is just right!

——And then there's the song "MakingOf"Especially"~トクベツのできるまで~", which has a feeling of Toyota's cute painting.

Toyoda Moe Painting: This is the most girly song in the new song. Although Mirai and I have sung the cute song "ジェリービーンズ?ダイアリー" together, what would it be like if my sister or Noto Yusa sang it? I've always had this translation. It was a fresh feeling to hear the cute songs they sang this time.

Noto Arisa: I think there is a fundamental difference between the two songs. The genre of "ジェリービーンズ?ダイアリー" is really cute, but "MakingOf"Especially" is more fashionably girly. There is a feeling that a tall girl is singing, but it is very interesting to see the cute part of the "girl" from the "woman" that wants to maintain the impression of cuteness in front of "him".

Maho Matsunaga: The tune is very cute, and this time I'm trying to express the cuteness of whispering in my ear (laughs). I think it's going to be a fun song to sound or sing.

Moe Toyoda: It's fun to arrange the music.

Mirai Ito: It already has a cute feeling before it is processed, and after listening to the songs of the four of them, I feel that this song is very good.

●Singing and singing "星鳴る夜のの Seductioner" and rock tune "AndroidRhapsody"

- "Star Strike Night Seductioner" is a very dramatic tune. Is it made according to Mirai Ito's impression?

Mirai Ito: That's right. The world view is very grand, not just light, not just cute, it is a mysterious song with some rigor. The impression of the imprisoned princess also gives a lot of meaning to the piece. When I sing, I use a slightly gloomy feeling, so please calm down and listen carefully.

Noto Arisa: When I talked about this song on the radio, everyone had the same impression (laughs).

Maho Matsunaga: Late at night, bats are flying around in the Western-style building.

Toyoda Moe E: I'm a princess and I'm locked in a bed with a cage.

Noto Yusa: It wasn't said in advance, but the four of us naturally sang this piece according to this impression. Probably thanks to the bonds accumulated in the past year and a half.

Mirai Ito: Actually, it wasn't my music at first, and I was very uneasy when I was recording. Because StylipS has never had such a genre until now. What exactly does "星鳴る夜の誘惑者" mean? Who is "take me away" for? The more I thought about it, the more I didn't understand. But these lyrics are all very suitable for the tune, giving people a feeling of "singing and acting".

INTERVIEWER The rock song "AndroidRhapsody" is a perfect match for Maho Matsunaga's impressions.

Maho Matsunaga: This piece is more like singing to myself in the mirror than to say that it is similar to my own impression. It's strong and powerful, but it's illusory, and there's even some hysteria. Although it was sung in a rock tune, the extension at the end of the sentence with the influx of emotions was my first attempt at singing.

Mirai Ito: Because it was the beginning of Maho Matsunaga's singing, the rest of us had the feeling of being led by her and singing to her rhythm.

- AndroidRhapsody and MelancholicSunshine are both R? O? N is in charge of lyrics/composition/arrangement, this is probably his first time working with the four, what are your impressions of him?

Noto Arisa: R? O? N's rock tune has a "manly" feel to it (laughs). But "MelancholicSunshine" is deep and charming, and there is no lack of childlike melody in the tune. I'm amazed at such a songwriter.

——The new song is not only an impression song for the four artists, but also a new page for StylipS. Do you plan to try a different genre in the future?

Noto Yusa: Everyone had to sing all parts of the song during the collection, but Mirai's "AndroidRhapsody" made me realize that she can sing in this way, and she has a feeling of "straightforward moe painting" (laughs). Being able to see the different sides of the members is the biggest reward.

Mirai Ito: Threesomes must have my teacher, and the strength of the four of us together will definitely be stronger (laughs). Together, we will bring StylipS to new heights by making use of what we are good at. It's also great for your own growth.

Moe Toyoda: These four pieces are all different in style, and this opportunity helped me understand my strengths. I think it's already very meaningful for the four of them to sing together, and the bond between them will definitely be stronger.

Maho Matsunaga: I was already conscious when I was recording, and I had a certain grasp of my mood and worldview. It was a great growth for me to be able to revise my worldview while listening to everyone sing, but not losing my own identity. There are actually many different tunes in the four-person chorus, so I hope you can compare and listen to them, and I believe it will be interesting.

● Entering the studio crying, the time the four of them spent together deepened the bond

INTERVIEWER In addition to the new songs, all the previous singles are also included in this album, so you can feel your growth. What is your most memorable piece or fragment?

Moe Toyoda: The most impressive thing is the "PrismSympathy" that I sang when I first joined. When I first arrived in Tokyo, I didn't know my life well, so I got lost when I went to the recording site, and I ended up crying and entering the studio (laughs). "It's okay, don't cry," someone said to me at the time, and then I didn't start recording until I had recovered from it, and this little episode will never be forgotten by me. But a qiē also started from that episode. Now that I can come to the studio without thinking about anything, it's kind of growth (laughs).

Mirai Ito: The one that impressed me the most was "Brand-newStyle!? Magic みたいな Showtime?(Steptwo)". StylipS would also sing this song before we joined, and as a fan I thought it was great, but at the same time I felt uneasy and stressed. When I first revealed this song, I felt that I had joined StylipS, and I felt even more confident after being recognized by everyone.

Maho Matsunaga: I was very impressed with my single song "Resonant World", but the best one was "NOVAレボリューション", which was sung by the four of them. With all sorts of activities such as albums and tours, StylipS is just like the impression of this song. And the RAP part of this song was given to me to sing, which is very meaningful. In the future, I would like to sing this song in LIVE to warm up the audience.

Noto Arisa: Great! I didn't repeat it (laughs). What impressed me the most was "ツナグキズナ?ツツムコドク" (The Bond of Connection? shrouded loneliness). This was the C/W of the four's original single "PrismSympathy", and since they had just joined the group at the time, it made me feel like "where the bond is......" (laughs).

Toyoda Moe Painting: How is this so~ (laughs).

Noto Arisa: But just like dried squid, the more you listen to this song, the more flavorful it becomes, and the longer the four of us spend together, the more I think it's a good song. The dance of the song is gradually refined, and from this point of view, it is really a divine comedy.

●Overwhelm the dancing power of other artists and the table xiàn power as a voice actor

INTERVIEWER Speaking of StylipS, I have to talk about your dancing and overwhelming stage acting, which are quite charming. When you first entered StylipS, did you feel like dancing was hard?

Mirai Ito: Ahahaha.......

Moe Toyoda: It's not easy (laughs).

- As you can imagine, your demands were set very high from the very beginning.

Noto Arisa: Hmm...... That's right (laughs). However, there have been a lot of voice actors who can sing and dance recently, and to stand out, you must have superior skills. So we don't care much about personal experience, mainly to practice singing and dancing skills.

- Arisa Noto Noto in the pre-release event of "PrismSympathy" said that "this is going to be the best dance in the history of StylipS", and it makes you feel confident that a rookie has just joined to say such a bold statement.

Noto Arisa: Ahahahaha. I did say it (laughs).

Mirai Ito: But as long as you follow the steps after you have laid the foundation, you will gradually become successful. At first, I always felt like I couldn't match the beat, and I could barely keep up with everyone's rhythm (laughs).

Moe Toyoda: At first, we could barely keep up with the Zuò class that Noto made for us, but recently we have reached the point where we can discuss dance with the four of us. I feel like I've really grown up with Mirai, and I'm very happy.

Maho Matsunaga: At first, I was panicked and could barely keep up with everyone's pace, but then Noto practiced alone with me for a long time when I was practicing on my own. If I'm serious about shooting music videos or performing on stage, I don't think I'll have a problem anymore. Recently, I have been able to add the dance moves of learning new songs with Noto to my "list of things I am looking forward to", and dancing has become less painful. This is all thanks to Noto, who pulls everyone forward.

INTERVIEWER Recently, there have been more and more attractive dances and dramatic dances, so what was the focus of the production of zuò?

Noto Yusa: If there's one thing that's different from ordinary idols, it's probably that we also practice our acting skills as voice actors. Therefore, the focus of this dance is not on the steps and rhythms, but on the express. I hope that the dance can completely surface the personalities of the four people, and on this basis, it must make the audience feel that the four of us are a whole, which is the difficulty.

But it's also very stressful. Since I'm in charge of the choreography, I can't let the audience think, "I'm cutting corners, right?" StylipS's rating will drop. Therefore, I have to keep moving forward myself, and at the same time, I have to pull my peers to improve with me, which is my responsibility.

● The initial tour wanted to actively introduce everyone to the new StylipS

- I'm looking forward to your dance. So your first tour will be held in March~April this year, is there anything you would like to say?

Mirai Ito: The album itself is already like introducing ourselves, so I hope that the tour will be like that. There will be many people who are watching LIVE for the first time, and our goal is to make songs and MCs that will make them impress us instantly.

Noto Arisa: Touring has always been a priority. When the time comes, I will consult with the staff and draw out the stage and song order in my mind. Not passive, but actively involved in the planning of the tour. We will also go to Nagoya and Osaka, and we will be singing songs one by one with gratitude......

Maho Matsunaga: I've participated in a lot of live performances so far, and I'm very happy that my dream of touring has finally come true. I think the most important thing to make the audience happy is to make yourself happy, so please look forward to it! We will be fully prepared to present the best stage with laughter and tears for everyone.

Moe Toyoda: I feel very nervous before every LIVE, but when I actually go on stage, the tension changes to "I was really happy!" "Feelings. Looking back at the LIVE video of the album's first limited edition disc A, I felt that I was very happy on stage and enjoyed it. At the same time, there are a lot of things that need to be reflected, and I will correct these things during the tour. But I'm actually the happiest person, so I'm looking forward to it!

INTERVIEWER You say you'll be wearing the costume on the album cover when you're touring, but what do you think of the costume?

Mirai Ito: Because it's "THESUPERNOVASTRIKES", the costume has a bit of an army feel. StylipS has always been white, and the stage costumes will be made according to each person's personality.

Toyoda Moe: My sister will definitely be a crop top, Noto must be shorts and boyish style, and Meilai must also have her style of clothes.

Mirai Ito: It seems that only my clothes are very ** (laughs).

Toyota Moe Painting: Hat... The hat has a beautiful feeling. I usually wear a hat in my private clothes.

Mirai Ito: Actually, I didn't wear it (laughs).

Toyoda Moe Painting: ...... What exactly is the style of Miray?

Mirai Ito: Actually, I don't really understand it myself.

Maho Matsunaga: Mira's clothes will definitely be the feeling of a pure honor student.

Noto Yusa: Handsome clothes will definitely bring out the "StylipS" table.

Mirai Ito: It's definitely cool to be able to wear a captain's hat.

Noto Arisa: I like hats, but I'm not very good at dancing with them. It's easy to shake your hat off when you shake your head (laughs).

Maho Matsunaga: I'll put on some incredible jewelry. For example, the wings on the back make the curves of the body more prominent and appear more sexy. I like it very much.

- The BD attached to the first limited plate A and B also includes "Otome ティカシアター" and "Otome Soo! 》。 These videos will always be the finale, so let's have a finale at the end of the interview!

Theme: Don't want a new album like this!

Moe Toyoda: The album is full of accompaniment.

Noto Yusa: The songs on the four-person album are all sung by one person.

Maho Matsunaga: The four-person album is full of one-man songs, and you can't hear the four-person suite.

Mirai Ito: It's an album, but there are only three tunes in it.

Maho Matsunaga: Isn't that a single?

Noto Arisa: A small CD of 8 centimeters.

Mirai Ito: The new album uses the previous boxed cover.

Noto Arisa: The lyrics card is made of straw paper.

Maho Matsunaga: The name of the new album is "New Album".

Noto Yusa: Maybe there is one?

Maho Matsunaga: It's better to be "THESUPERNOVASTRIKES", but StylipS's new album must not be "New Album"~

Toyoda Moe Painting: Good tongue twister (laughs).

INTERVIEWER Finally, please give a message to the fans.

Noto Arisa: This album, which is a self-introduction for the four of us, has been released. Freshman StylipS is here! This is an album that makes me puff up my chest and say that, so please listen to it. At the same time, there is also a high-quality version of the delivery on the Internet, so please be sure to enjoy it together if you are interested. Please advise!
