As the voice actor industry has attracted more and more attention, some media have begun to use voice actors as the subject of interviews. Among them, the "~Voice Actor's Ring~" column launched by a Japanese media uses 50 Q&A interviews with recent hot voice actors, and this form has also attracted the attention of many voice actor fans. In this issue, Hanon Nakagawa, who has starred in "The World Only God Knows", Tang Yin in "Crossroads of Exotic Labyrinths", Yui Yui Yubihama in "My Youth Love Story Really Has a Problem", and "Let's Work! Chiho Sasaki of "Demon King", Kujo Poor from "Golden Puzzle", Chisho Kirizaki from "Pseudo-Love" and other characters such as Higashiyama Nao will accept 50 questions from the media.

01. Please tell us about your opportunity to become a voice actor.

A: I watched Fullmetal Alchemist before, and I was so moved by the plot! And the protagonist is obviously a boy.,But his voice actor is a woman.。 It struck me in disbelief. I'm always interested in acting and singing, so I think it's fun to use my voice to move people's hearts.

2. What is Miss Higashiyama's animation debut?

A: It's the OVA work "Hina no Love". That was the first time I stood on the stage of dubbing. As for the debut work of the TV anime, "STARDRIVER Shiny Tacot", which began to air around the same period, I played the role of Shifang Tiger in it. Of course, he also starred in "The World Only God Knows" in Hanon Nakagawa.

03. In your previous works, is there any role that left a particularly deep impression on you?

A: It's Hanagawa-chan from "The World Only God Knows". It was my first major role, and I went through the process of taking materials, recordings, concerts, ...... This qiē and qiē experience and emotion are all shared by me and Huayin-chan. There are some indescribable things that I can only taste with Hanon-chan, the enthusiastic staff who support Hanon-chan, and the audience who support Hanon-chan.

04. Among the characters you have dubbed, are there any characters that have parts similar to you?

A: I feel like I'm becoming like every character (laughs). In other words, in the process of performing, I slowly approached the role of dubbing. So depending on the dubbing scene, maybe I will also show a different personality! Ah, but...... Most of the characters I play are not good at cooking, is it because I am the same that I am the same that I summoned these characters......?

05. In the previous dubbing process, please list a plot that impressed you.

A: I realized it when I played the role of the Dotsutsu in the radio drama CD "Fu-Yinhua and the Ice Blade's Hunting-". In the final scene, no one said that I should be "breathing fast", but the result reflected this performance in the work. I was thinking: Is it the relationship between the inner and the characters in sync......?

06. If you have any failures or impressive experiences at the dubbing scene, please let us know.

A: When I was dubbing some really good dramas, my stomach made a loud noise, and the voice actor who was acting at that time burst out laughing, and I couldn't continue acting...... That's it. Since the other party was just laughing and not angry, I was somewhat relieved...... But if it happens when I'm dubbing, it's okay, but it happens to someone else...... I feel very sorry for others, very ashamed, this is a big failure!

07. Are there any competitors or voice actors that you are targeting?

A: There's a voice actor I've been targeting. But...... It's a secret!

08. What do you think you would do if you didn't become a voice actor?

A: I want to be a teacher! As for the subjects, it is English or world history. When I was a high school student, I studied with my friends, and when they had questions they didn't understand, I would explain how to do them. So my friend was very happy, and I was very happy! I'm a big fan of the rhyme of the history of the world.

09. What is the most painful thing about being a voice actor?

A: Due to excessive nervousness, I can't even eat. Ever since I was a voice actor training school, I wouldn't be able to eat before class...... In the past, I couldn't eat the performers' lunch box until the exclusive event started, but now I think "It's a shame not to eat it~", so I have a full appetite...... No, I'm saving energy!

10. Conversely, what is the happiest thing about being a voice actor?

A: When something happens that you can't believe in the past. Animation makes me feel that life is meaningful. And now I want my work to be a source of motivation for others. It's amazing to be able to do that, and I couldn't have imagined it before.

11. Do you like to sing? Also, when did you think the song you sang was the most impressive?

A: For me, songs are an integral part of my life! I have a deep impression of Hanon Nakagawa's "歩いていくもん". Although this is a character song, from the first time I saw the lyrics to the present, I feel that this song shows the bits and pieces of what I have gone through with Hua Yin-chan in the four years since my debut. This song is a song by Kana-chan, me, and everyone.

12. Do you have any memorable contributions to your radio program?

A: At present, there is a section called "Dream Information" in the radio program "Higashiyama-Nao's Dream Theater", which I host. The content gained in this session was fantastic! The audience told me some of my mottos and those words that have touched me to this day. Since they are priceless words, I am often surprised by them myself.

13. Did you have anything particularly attached to during the performance?

A: It's a difficult question...... It's basically fun in every sense of the word. Sometimes I'm surprised and think, "The story has unfolded!" Sometimes I think, "I want to hear this!" This feeling often reverberates in my heart. I think it's the best!

14. What kind of characters are you best at voice acting?

A: No matter what kind of character they have, they have their difficulties! But I always feel that I am named "**" and "not good at cooking...... Keywords like that (laughs). This is baseless!

15. Please tell us about your goals and dreams as a voice actor.

A: I have only one dream: to be a voice actor all my life. In the future, I will strive to be an actor who is trusted by the staff and guests. I hope that when you see the voice actor list, you think, "If it's Higashiyama, then it's fine." ”

16. Please give a word to those who are working hard to make voice actors their goal.

A: Maybe it's not just about voice actors, but I don't think it's a good fit if you really like what you do. I just hope that everyone will not be overly immersed in their dreams, but keep a cool head and keep working hard until you are proud of yourself! I will continue to work hard to meet you at the dubbing scene one day!!

17. In addition to the works you starred in, are there any other anime that you often watch?

A：《CLANNAD》！！ I love watching anime, and this is the first time I've purchased a radio drama CD. The girls in the story are so cute, and the plot is so good that I can't remember how many times I've cried. Every time I think about it, I plan to watch it again. CLANNAD is the ...... of life!

18. Are there any characters you would like to voice in the above-mentioned animations, or characters that you would like to be voiced for?

A: My favorite is the little apricot! If you're with her, you'll be happy.,And she's a gentle girl who takes good care of her sister...... Although he is often very stubborn, he seems hesitant in some of the more critical places. It's also cute.

19. What type of animation do you like when watching animation as a viewer?

A: I watched about 10 anime when I was a high school student, so I don't think there's anything I don't like. Now it's about watching some animations that require deep thinking and have a deep theme. After reading it, I fully felt "what I have gained!" "Then I want to share it with someone!

20. What kind of child were you when you were a child?

A: I started remembering when I was around junior high school students...... （？ I don't remember much about my childhood, but I think he should be a very cheerful child! Now when I ask my mom, she says, "You're a kid who talks all the time except eating and sleeping"!

21. Tell us about the shows you watch regularly.

A: I love watching "Angry New Party" and "Cousins"! However, I rarely have the opportunity to watch TV properly, so I just stumbled upon a double glance when the TV station was broadcasting!

22. Tell us about your favorite book in your life.

A: "Fullmetal Alchemist". This is the first time I've bought a single book! After all, it was also a manga that changed my life, so I always felt that it was important. However, I somewhat hope to read this work with some fresh mindset, so I don't read it very often.

23. Tell us about your favorite game in your life.

A: Recently, I was introduced to a game called "LINE: Disney Tsumtsum", which I thought was very cute and fun, so I immersed myself in it...... However, I haven't played games since I was a kid, so I struggled with this type of genre that requires a lot of hand speed (laughs).

24. Tell us about your favorite movie in your life.

A: "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time". The kind of positive and forward-looking feelings and empty feelings intersecting together make me feel incredible...... But the story is so sad that I won't go to see it alone in the future......

25. Tell us about your favorite music in your life.

A: The music in Studio Ghibli's "Spirited Away" is called "いのちの名前". Mr. Hisaishi's music is incredible, so beautiful that you want to listen to it all the time. I also appreciate the effect of playing only on the piano!

26. Please introduce your motto.

A: "Efforts that don't produce results are just excuses." This sentence is very harsh, making people feel like they have been stabbed in the heart, but it can also make people think well. How should we work hard for the sake of results...... So these are important words!

27. What sports have you participated in before, please tell us about your experience?

A: I've been dancing for almost 10 years. It's usually jazz dancing, but sometimes it can feel a bit hiphop! And in terms of sports, I'm a complete idiot, if I want to have ball skills or something, I basically have to wait for the next life!

28. Please tell us about the songs you often sing when you go to karaoke.

A: I've been singing a lot of anime songs, character songs, and voice actor songs before! But sometimes I get so fanatical that I don't even go to karaoke (laughs). Also, I only know the chorus of J-POP, so I want to sing it with other people when I have the chance!

29. Please tell us your favorite food.

A: Dried small fish, dried cuttlefish, Korean seaweed! When I don't have much energy, I eat these things to reward myself. Recently, I thought that the super spicy dried squid was very delicious, and because of my constant promotion, people around me started buying it at some point (laughs).

30. Please sù us the food you hate.

A: I like clams and clams, but I can't eat oysters...... Although I like dried fish and seaweed, I don't like to eat vinegar...... Anyway, it's like this to evaluate the likes and dislikes of food in more detail, and there is nothing that can't be eaten at all!

31. Tell us about the shops you frequent.

32. Do you have any favorite snacks?

A: Unfortunately, if you eat dried fish and dried cuttlefish outside of your home, it tastes good, so you don't have the opportunity to eat them. Instead, I often eat senbei in the studio! I especially like salad senbei and shrimp senbei.

33. Do you drink alcohol or not? If so, what type of alcohol do you like?

A: If it's a dinner party, I'll drink it. What I like is iced plum wine! Speaking of which, I don't drink very much. If you drink on an empty stomach, you will get drunk immediately. But if it's normal, you shouldn't be able to get drunk after about 3 drinks!

34. What did you do during your last holiday?

A: Get a good night's sleep and get up and clean up your room! Over the years, I've rarely thought, "Let's go outside and have enough!" But since last year, I've been going out gradually. After all, friends are important!

35. If you had a week off where you didn't have to do anything at all, what would you do?

A: Go to see your grandparents in the countryside, or hide in the library. My grandparents sometimes come to Tokyo to play, but I haven't been back to my hometown for years (tears).

40. What part of the opposite sex do you care about the most?

A: ...... wrist? But I don't have anything special to worry about! If the opposite sex can see the green tendons on his wrist when he turns his wrist, then my heart will move too. Also, I think people who are a little fatter are more reliable. I want to be carried on his back to play!

If you do, you might be able to survive! In everyone's buzzword, it's "ワンチャン!" (It's unlikely, but it's not absolutely impossible)"

44. If someone told you, "You can use 1 million yen as you like", how would you spend that money?
