Mercury Navigator voice actor interview

The new work in the popular healing anime series "Mercury Navigator The**VENIRE" will be officially released at the event in Japan on September 26, 2015.

Now, the main voice actors, Erino Hazuki (Mizuno Lamp Serving), Saito Chiwa (Ranka Serving), Hirohashi Ryo (Alice Serving), Sayaka Ohara (Alicia Serving), Chinami Nishimura (Ariya Chairman's Serving), Junko Minagawa (Akira Serving), Kaori Mizuhashi (Little Ai Serving), Yoshiko Matsuo (Great Grandmother Serving), and Watanabe Akino (Masaka Serving) have finished recording the work and have also been interviewed. Now let's take a look at what they have to say.

INTERVIEWER How do you feel about playing the same role again after such a long time?

Hazuki: I'm back in the unchanging healing space, carefully experiencing every minute and every second of the recording. In fact, in the long-lost post-inclusion of "Mercury Navigator", I have been very nervous about whether I can perform well after getting the script. But as soon as I entered the studio and saw everyone gathered together, listening to everyone's voices and playing music, the lights naturally came out of the lights at that time, and I was shocked myself. Sure enough, it is precisely because everyone is together that there is a zài in the lamp.

Saito: I'm a senior now, but I didn't care too much about the time span and performed it naturally. As soon as I stood in front of the microphone, Lan Hua naturally returned, and I was surprised myself. This character has been with me all the time, and tears fell the moment I thought about it. I looked around and saw that everyone was crying, and it was really worthy of the "Mercury team". I don't know why I laughed again, but I felt very warm at the same time.

Hirohashi: All the staff are here, the same recording studio, and the post-recording is done in the same position. Although it has been a long time, there is no sense of rustiness, and it is still the feeling of "Mercury Navigator" that I am familiar with as always. I was moved by the music and the performance as before, and enjoyed the delicious refreshments, and a lot of fun happened. Actually, I'm a little struggling with playing Alice. Because Alice grew up rapidly through the guò animated series, then you have to consider which stage of Alice is performing. In addition, I feel a little embarrassed to think of herself. And to meet Athena again, both as Alice and for myself, I am very happy. I don't think there will be such a happy time in the future.

Ohara: It's an incredible feeling that can't be explained by just the word "nostalgia." The seats in the studio, the music, the snacks and tea prepared, the smiles of the staff, and the roles everyone played...... It's all the same as it was then. The warm atmosphere that people can't help but indulge in is as good as ever, and Athena-chan is still alive and well, as if she has the illusion of a big dream for a moment. I also expected that I might cry, but sure enough, I couldn't stop crying. During the rehearsal at home, although I felt that my tears were about to dry up, I still kept crying when I arrived at the scene. Even now, weeks have passed since the recording, and I still cry at the thought of it, and there is nothing I can do. But I think the other members must have felt the same way. I was really lucky to be able to participate in the dubbing of TV anime 10 years ago. However, I was amazed at how much love "Mercury Navigator" was able to gather and imprint on everyone's souls. Although I recorded for nearly 8 hours from 10 a.m., I didn't feel tired at all, and my heart was just full of happiness and gratitude.

Nishimura: When I hear the first sentence in the lamp, "yes, yes, that's what it feels like!" The studio is surrounded by a soft atmosphere. When I played the president, I didn't feel strange or nostalgic, but I just got into the state very naturally as if I had been playing it all along. A recording studio with Choroclub and Sister's Tail music...... Everyone sat in the old place and talked casually...... The scene that appeared when the series was first made and the scene that is present seem to be intertwined and overlapped. It's really a miracle that all the characters can get together again to record.

Minagawa Minaga: Happy, sad, nostalgic, happy, lonely, happy, and at the same time very nervous, all kinds of emotions are intertwined, as if they are about to explode. Everyone's voices and feelings for "Mercury Navigator" have not changed at all compared to before. And a new Mercury Navigator companion has been added. The cast and crew share the same love for Mercury Navigator. This post-recording is really a very happy time. For me as a crybaby, I cried a lot this time. "Akira has never cried like this!" Thinking so, I wanted to hold back my tears, but I couldn't do anything about it. However, it's incredible, and it feels like it's only perfectly synchronized with Akira when it's officially included. There is a feeling that I am talking as Akira. The last line was actually recorded while secretly crying (laughs).

Mizuhashi: Little Ai-chan has also grown up. That being said, I think people will be lonely if they grow too much (laughs), so I'm working hard to get this right.

Matsuo: I was worried before I recorded it, but when I stood in front of the microphone, I stepped into the role of my grandmother. The studio is also the same calm, warm atmosphere as before, and it is completely unfelt that time has passed. Obviously, I want to be a ...... for a long time.

Watanabe: I'm back! This warm and soft world! Hearing everyone's voices, it feels like going back in time. The longing has always been constant. Ma Jun is still the original Ma Jun (laughs), soft and soft bullets are very cute!

──This is an original story based on the original author, Kotoshi Amano, who drew the manga for the first time in seven years. Can you tell us about the highlights of this work?

Hazuki: The cute junior trio appeared, and the three who became Prima Navigators grew up separately, and New Venice and ARIA continued to change as the timeline progressed. One of my favorite things about Mercury Navigator is that it tells the story of each character. Because of this, each character has its own charm, and that sense of closeness is easy to resonate with. The things that everyone wants to see, the things they want to know, and the things they have been looking forward to for a long time are all condensed in this work.

Saito: Chapter 3 seems to be a completely different episode, but it's actually interrelated. You'll get some impressions from each episode.,I think you'll feel something more when you watch the 3 episodes as a whole.。 I'm a fan of akira, so I like episode 1 the most. Strong people suddenly show a lonely expression or something, and I have no resistance at all. That being said, I recommend all of them. I can't do it if I just choose one or something, no matter which one is a wonderful chapter of "Mercury Navigator".

Hirohashi: In the first episode, everyone should be impressed by Akira's handsomeness. Tears of joy and joy over the playful relationship between Athena-senpai, Alicia, and Akira. In the second episode, everyone will be tempted by the sweet and sour feelings between the senior and CatSith in the lamp. It's like an element like "the eyelashes are unexpectedly long" in a girl's manga! Episode 3 is the fun that you will find after watching it. In short, there will be cute juniors. Ania-chan of Planet Orange inherits the feelings of Athena's predecessors and Alice. The juniors of each company have their own unique feelings. As time goes by, even if it may feel lonely or sad from time to time, there is also a lot of joy, and our story continues ahead. After watching it, you should be smiling naturally, and you will be happy. Please don't forget the active role of the presidents.

Ohara: Director Sato and Mr. Amano, who came to the recording site, also said that after 10 years, it was a complete miracle that a new work could be released. The whole anime is a highlight! But it's worth mentioning that the new juniors are here. For example, Chino, who liked "Mercury Navigator" before becoming a voice actor, was in tears the moment he heard the first sentence in the lamp, and it seems that the new "Mercury Navigator" family member is also a crybaby. The new characters are all cute. In addition, you can listen to some of the most impressive songs from the 3rd episode of the TV series! I think it's a great show.

Nishimura: After reading the script, my enthusiasm was gradually ignited, and I unconsciously wrote an email to the original author, Mr. Amano. Because I'm thinking about exactly the same thing, and I'm always happy...... Friends who live together in the world of "Mercury Navigator" still remember every word spoken by the characters vividly, and it is precisely because of the long-term immersion that it has penetrated into their hearts even more. The memories we spent with the people in the lamp, our memories, are all intact. I'm so blessed.

Minagawa: It's not that there are no highlights, but it's all of them. It's all really. Whether it is the past or the present scene, every shot, every line, is full of feelings! I hope you watch it intently! In terms of highlights, my personal focus is on Lanhua. Seeing Lan Hua, who grew up slightly, listening to her lines, I always felt a little embarrassed. After meeting my cherished sister for a long time, I suddenly found that I had grown up unconsciously, and it was both happy and lonely.

Mizuhashi: In the stories of everyone who grew up a little bit, some stories from the past have been added, and there is both nostalgia and freshness.

Matsuo: Time flies, and the next generation of water elves from each company will demonstrate their hospitality etiquette and many techniques. In joy, sadness, entanglement, and growing together, the changes in each other's hearts are a major attraction.

Watanabe: I won't say more. Please see for yourself and feel for yourself...... Here is the "Mercury Navigator" that we love, and the "Mercury Navigator" that everyone loves. The content can't be said though...... Such...... I'm going to cry like this! No! That's what I think. Then I cried in the studio...... Added new companions to the world of Mercury Navigator. It's a gentle, warm world!

-- Please send your message to the audience who are looking forward to "Mercury Navigator The**VENIRE".

Hazuki: I used to think that it would be nice to be ...... if it was cinematic, but now this idea has finally come true. Full of love for the actors who love "Mercury Navigator" and the staff who love "Mercury Navigator"! This work depicts an important story that was not included in the TV version at the time, so please come to the cinema to watch it compared to the original work and the OVA! Please be! Bring your important people and spend a wonderful time with us.

Saito: Like everyone who is a fan, I'm looking forward to meeting Lan Hua even more. This work is special to me. I also had this idea in mind when I was recording. For me, this is a work full of wonders and miracles that you can't encounter in life. The energy contained in the work is slow and leisurely, but it does warm everyone's heart...... It is forbidden to say things that make you blush!

Hirohashi: Thank you very much to all the viewers who have been waiting for "Mercury Navigator"! It is precisely because of everyone's expectations that I can meet this work again. It's amazing that even though the post-recording is over, everyone says in unison that it feels like the beginning. I was also full of excitement at the beginning. Unchanging air and flowing time, a gentle world awaits you. Be sure to feel the new Venice on the big screen in the theater. "Super" is waiting for you to visit.

Ohara: It's been a long time since I saw you. Welcome to Mercury again! The constant daily beauty, the water spirits who have grown up a little, the nostalgic scene and the love in your heart are waiting for you. It's an important world where the crew and cast are all united in one mind. Also, when you visit the theater, please be sure to bring at least two handkerchiefs. If you are soft-hearted, it is recommended that you bring a thick towel (laughs) The big screen in the theater is the entrance to Mercury. Haha, let's row over and watch!

Nishimura: Whether it is the viewers who have been loving "Mercury Navigator" since the TV anime version was broadcast, or the viewers who only learned about "Mercury Navigator" after the TV anime version was broadcast and became fans, it is thanks to everyone's love that the new "Mercury Navigator" can be born. Surrounded by the love of the voice actors, staff, and supporters, it's really a happy work. In order to thank and give back to everyone, I will send you "The**VENIRE the Mercury Navigator". Let's spend a wonderful time together.

Minagawa: Hehe, everyone will cry when they watch it. Then there is a gentle, warm mood that is sure to have an inner sense of satisfaction. It's really a wonderful story, please look forward to it. Join us in sharing your love for Mercury Navigator.

Mizuhashi: Where there has been a change, where there has not been a change, both of them are equally shiny and convey the same sense of airiness as always. Please be sure to watch it. Thank you for your kind attention.

Matsuo: There is the incredibleness of the planet of water, the clear and beautiful world, and miracles. Please look forward to the water spirits living there!

Watanabe: Being able to meet this work is a treasure for me. The fact that the treasure can be presented again like this is a credit for everyone's warm support and love. Thank you very much. For those of you who have been waiting with anticipation, this is a work that will surely satisfy you! In this wonderful, warm and gentle world, let's meet again!
