Every year, a large number of newcomers emerge in the Japanese voice actor industry, and for this reason, the Japanese media specially produced a program called "New Voice Actor Illustrated Guide". The show interviews and reports on some of the most promising rookie voice actors, to understand the behind-the-scenes stories of their entry into the industry, and their prospects for the future. In the latest issue of the "Rookie Voice Actor Guide", we will introduce Juri Kimura, who has performed well in "White Box" (Aoi Miyamori), "Is Something Wrong in Seeking an Encounter in the Dungeon" (Refia Verides), and "Mikagura Gakuen Suite" (Ichinomiya Megumi Runa).

Q: It's finally time to start the broadcast of the TV anime "Mikagura Gakuen Suite". This is a work that was originally created by LastNote, the creator of NICONICO animation, and has also caused a lot of talk before. So what is the difference between Miss Kimura's Emi Runa and Miss Miyamori in "White Box"......

Kimura: It's a standard perverted girl! According to the director, "It's a serious pervert" (laughs).

Q: "A serious pervert" (laughs)?

Kimura: Should I say she's overdone? I don't want to do anything.,Just rush forward.,And I like girls so much.。 Of course, the main thing is to face the reunion of the seniors of Xingsuo (voice actor: Saori Onishi), shouting "I like you" and "It's so cute~", but I will be rejected every time, but I don't look frustrated at all (laughs). The appearance of going all out and being happy also unconsciously motivates the people around you.

Q: (laughs). Motivation for everyone with perverted behavior!? In addition, there are some plots of her YY time.

Kimura: That's a pitiful thing because some of her brain supplements aren't acceptable to the real world (laughs). As for the YY plot, there must be 1 time in almost 1 episode. And the predecessors of the star lock are usually cool, but in the brain supplement world, they are very gentle and sweet, and they will say "Hui Runa...... (love)" (laughs). Saori-chan Onishi has a very sexy voice for this, and then Megumi Runa is drooling in response to this voice (laughs).

Q: I feel like I'm full of comedy (laughs).

Kimura: It's a mess, but the plot is enjoyable (laughs). Mr. LastNote., who was the original song, also wrote the theme song and ending song of the work. And while the song is refreshing and very lively, it also reflects the sweetness and sweetness of youth, and I think this song really reflects the essence of animation.

Q: In the school, everyone has to store the points earned in battles to live. So in such a setting, if Hui Runa has saved a lot of points, what will she hope to get?

Kimura:If you don't participate in club activities, you won't get points.,So there's no belonging to Hui Runa, who is considered the lowest character in the school park.。 Although now also so-so lives somewhere...... But if you have points, you have to start a life that is no different from ordinary people (laughs).

Q: What was it like to be dubbed?

Kimura: I watched the original work, and I have a certain understanding of the characters. However, at the beginning, it was only possible to express about 80% of the requirements. It's my first time in a comedy, and I'm a very chaotic character, so it's hard for me to express what I'm thinking. I've been annoyed since the first episode, and Ai-san Chino taught me how to switch acting skills. I wrote it down and used it in the next episode, and I was told "Great!" "It's something that encourages me to this day. Also, everyone's "game" during the dubbing process is very interesting.

Q: When you talk about games, do you mean there are a lot of jam shows?

Kimura: There are a lot of improvisations. In particular, Mr. Matsuoka Zhencheng, who plays the mysterious creature Bimi, often makes some improvisational performances. When the character's face is elongated, Mr. Matsuoka also makes a sound while crooking his face (laughs).

Q: Other than that, are there any other characters that you like?

Kimura: Megumi Runa's cousin is the glasses man named Shiyu, who has a taste for me. Shi Yu likes Hui Runa very much, and in this sense, she is also as perverted as Hui Runa (laughs). However, unlike the somewhat shy Hui Runa, Shi Yu will always say something that people can't understand (laughs). Therefore, they are all perverts as well, and I learned a lot from Mr. Shimazaki Nobunaga, who voiced Shiyu. I always sigh: I have to do this~

Q: Now that there are quite a few dubbing episodes, are you enjoying the role of Kei Runa?

Kimura: That's right. I love improvisation myself. For example, when you run backwards, you can't see the shape of the character's mouth, so you can say whatever you want. It's okay if you don't say it well, but first of all, you have to reflect your intuition. Because of Megumi Runa's relationship, I also have some understanding of my own preconceived notions.

Q: This time, the theme song sung by Hui Runa, Xingsuo, and Otoon (voice actor: Ya Lee Ozawa) is also worth looking forward to!

Kimura: The theme song "After School Revolution" ("Revolution After School") embodies the spirit of the new club, the after-school paradise club, and I'm personally looking forward to how the cool star lock sings this song. And Yiyin is the same, what kind of ideas do the three of them want to sing? If only people could listen to it with skepticism. The lyrics are fantastic, and it makes people's eyes moisten just by thinking about it...... Sorry, I'm crying more easily......

Q: No, please cry as much as you like (laughs). So in terms of record recording, do you sing quite smoothly?

Kimura: Well, Mr. LastNote.'s song is very difficult...... The rhythm is very fast, and the vocal range is very wide, and the treble part can only be expressed with a false voice, so it is not easy to express the spiritual head of Hui Runa. But I tried my best anyway (laughs)!

Q: The online broadcast "Mikagura Gakuen Radio Broadcasting Club" has also begun!

Kimura: I was with Mr. Matsuoka. We will introduce the various clubs in the school in the work, and then recall the events of my school days. It was also a pleasure to be able to use this opportunity to learn more about what kind of person Mr. Matsuoka really was. Even though it's all animated broadcasts, everyone in "White Box" is a girl who has a good relationship in their private lives, so the broadcast in reality is like an extension of the animation, so it's very lively. But this time the broadcast was a different kind of fun.

Q: Do you understand what kind of person Mr. Matsuoka is (laughs)?

Kimura: He has a burning emotion for his works~ Also, this is a very gentle person. At the time of the audition, it will also take the trouble to liven up the conversation. In addition, he also gave me a lot of advice, and I think this is really a caring person!

Q: So after the anime starts, what do you want the audience to pay attention to?

Kimura: She's a bit shy when she's dealing with girls, but she's very handsome when she's in combat mode. That kind of powerful watch xiΓ n makes you feel the aura of the protagonist. Such a contrast will also make everyone happy!

Q: So, let's talk a little bit about Kimura's private life. Megumi Runa is a girl who likes to play games very much, so what is Miss Kimura more obsessed with?

Kimura: Lately, I've been working cooking. When I returned to my hometown at the end of the year, my mother's oden and delicious New Year's Eve soba noodles were delicious! My sister also taught students at a cooking school, so she made me salted lemon and chicken hot pot. I've always loved cooking, but because I live alone, I feel like it's too much trouble to do everything on my own. Recently, though, I've changed my mind and feel like I'm going to do it myself. It's basically Japanese food.

Q: Is there anything else you're obsessed with?

Kimura:...... Spirits! I'm a fan of animated songs, but I also love rock. Actually, I've been a fan of the Keshi for over 10 years. I've been listening to their songs since I was in elementary and junior high school.

Q: It was a surprise (laughs). Speaking of which, what do you like about the Ambitions?

Kimura: Speaking of the Keshiki, they were originally an instrumental band, so the songs are very cool! Also, the bass played very well. Their lyrics are full of enthusiasm, which is very appealing to me, and each member has a lot of personality and will sing and dance vigorously during the concert. The space to showcase your talent is very wide. Recently, if you buy advance tickets, it's easy to get involved with work, so you can only choose tickets for the day, but you can't always buy them (laughs). But even if it's to buy goods, I'll go there (laughs).

Q: This is a real fan (laughs). So, what is your favorite song?

Kimura: Hey~ That's a lot~ I think the music of the song "Thunderbolt" is very stylish. In addition, the ending song of "Naruto" "γŠγΎγˆγ γ£γŸγ‚“γ " is a sad song that starts with the sound of a piano, and it makes people cry when you listen to it. And then there's "BabyBabyBaby". The songs of the Qizhi Troupe often have the theme of "only when you are with others can you know yourself". And I'm often taken care of by my friends, so when I listen to these songs, I think about the help I get when I'm troubled. Hence very much like it.

Q: What has been the most impressive concert so far?

Kimura: The 2012 "Keshizu Expo"! Their concerts are held every year, just like festivals, and this year is the fourth time. IN 2012, PEOPLE FROM MANY FIELDS SUCH AS γ‚―γƒ­, WADA γ‚’γ‚­KO, AND RIPSLYME APPEARED. Also, that's why I fell in love with Hyde's VAMPS. There are many different types, but there is a sense of unity. It's like drinking beer with friends at the beach (laughs).

Q: Beer is the best when camping?

Kimura: That's right (laughs). I'm not a big fan of going out, and I never thought I'd be in the sun all the time, but the experience was really enjoyable! If I had to list 5 happy things in my life, this one would definitely be shortlisted!

Q: So, will Kimura-sama take on any challenges as a voice actress in the future?

Kimura: When I was a student, I was in the broadcasting department, and I entered the industry with the intention of being a narrator, so I guess I was afraid of acting. I had a lot of fun when I got to the training school, but I didn't always get a chance to perform. And it's because I like animation very much.,That's why I think.:How can someone like me be a voice actor.。 However, after getting the role of Aoi Miyamori in "White Box", I realized that the anime was different from the narration work, and I was able to hear the voices of many viewers.

Q: There are many opportunities to meet with fans.

Kimura: Yes, I'm so happy to hear them cheering directly at the exclusive event! It turns out that someone is willing to accept my voice~ And after "White Box", I also got the opportunity to appear in "Mikagura School Suite". In fact, when I decided to star in "White Box", I didn't know if I had the next animation job, and I didn't have a strong idea of "I must continue to dub" at that time. However, when I realized that animation was really made by a lot of people, I felt that I had to bear the wishes of these people, and that I needed to love my characters to the fullest. Being aware of this is also a valuable asset for me. Therefore...... I'm sorry, but I cried out again (laughs).

Therefore, I will continue to work hard to bring you better works than before. In order for more people to hear my voice and make them accept important things, I will continue to appear in anime as a voice actor in the future, and I will also practice my acting skills for this reason!
