The mini-talk show "VoiceSwitch" has gained a lot of popularity among voice actor fans by exposing the "no makeup" of popular voice actors. It's like a switch.,The content of the work is "ON", and the personal content is "OFF.,AnimateTV will bring you an exclusive interview with the voice actor after each episode.。 This time, we will interview Kanae Ito, a popular voice actress who has voiced many well-known characters such as Saten Tears in "Science Super Electromagnetic Cannon", Hoshiona Kashiwazaki in "My Few Friends", and Yui in "Sword Art Online". The topic of the interview focuses on the opportunity for her to become a voice actor when she was a student and the story of Hinamoria Dream in her debut work "Guardian Sweetheart", so let's go behind the scenes of Kanae Ito!

■Interview with the bottom line (laughs)

――How did you feel about today's recording?

Kanae Ito: We talked about a lot of topics, and I was very happy! Because I don't usually have the opportunity to look back on myself, there are some things that I don't really notice until I say them. In addition, there are many topics that have not been talked about.

――There are a lot of questions that you asked in today's program, but what impressed you the most about Ito?

Kanae Ito: "Tell us about your recent joys, sorrows, and sorrows." It really made me think about it for a long time, because it is very difficult to extract a part of my own feelings and analyze it. In the end, he just stepped on the bottom line and said some irrelevant things in various senses.......

-- "That thing" (laughs).

Kanae Ito: That's right, it's "that thing." Should I say it or shouldn't I say it? Such a feeling is stepping on the bottom line (laughs).

――I'm looking forward to it when it comes to airing it (laughs).

■ "Les Miserables" is a work that broadens the horizons

――When you included it, you said that you liked acting when you were a student, so have you been watching any drama works lately?

Kanae Ito: At the end of the year, I went to see Mozart starring Aya-chan Hirano. Recently, there have been more and more stage plays that were original manga and games, and I often go to see these kinds of works.

――Can you give us an example of the most "powerful" work you have seen so far?

Kanae Ito: I mentioned Aya-chan Hirano earlier, but the opportunity to become friends with her was when I watched "Les Miserables" in which she starred in before. At that time, I hadn't seen the movie version of "Les Miserables", and I only knew the storyline after watching her stage play, which was really great! Needless to say, the level of the work itself is naturally needless to say, even if there are no lines in the whole scene, it is really amazing to be able to connect the story with singing...... It was so great for me at that time!

――After reading these works, did it actually affect you?

Kanae Ito: It's Les Miserables! I usually only watch Japanese movies, but when I watch overseas movies, the camera often passes when I read the lines, and I can't keep up with the speed of subtitles... But if you look at the blow version, you will often have an occupational disease-like emotion and study of the dubbing in it, and you can't enjoy the work itself purely. The stage play "Les Miserables" became an opportunity for me to watch more overseas works, which broadened my horizons and dabbles.

―― What is the appeal of acting for you, Ito?

Kanae Ito: I think the audience can see the actors with their own eyes. It is already very difficult to animate a work with an original work, and it is even more difficult to stage it to test the acting skills of the actors. The actors I admire are the ones who can stand out their charm while maintaining the personality of their characters. Including improvisation, the role he played is more vivid in front of the audience than the original work, and captures the audience's heart. When I see a moment like this, I get so excited that I can't help but think, "That person is a genius!" (laughs).

■ The goal for the future is to become an "unchanging existence"

―― Tell us about some of the happiest jobs you've had as a voice actor.

Kanae Ito: There are quite a few, but I think the recording of "Guardian Sweetheart", which was also mentioned in the previous collection, was the most enjoyable. Before dubbing this work, I realized that this was my first main job, and the importance is self-evident. And the Hinamori Amu I play is often said by my family that she is exactly the same as me, so I have been friends with this character for many years, and I have a deep relationship. This is a work that allows me to work dubbing and say happy without hesitation when it is over.

――Tell us about your recent activities.

Kanae Ito: The theatrical version of "Wonderful Paradise", in which I played the role of Akai Glasses in the play, was rehearsed on March 7. Since the plot of the work will change, I hope you will be able to go to the theater many times to watch it. In addition, the TV anime version of "Wonderful Paradise" will continue to be broadcast from spring, so please look forward to it!

-- Five years have passed since the previous work "Wonderful Melody", and it seems that the sequel "Wonderful Paradise" will also be a long-lived work.

Kanae Ito: yes. Because the original work of "Wonderful Melody" itself is a game, in the game you can decorate the characters with some cute dresses and all kinds of small gem-like props, and whenever I see the girls collecting these, I feel that they are shining, and I can't help but be happy. It's the same with "Guardian Sweetheart", where children feel happy when they are smiling, and I hope these works will continue to work in the future.

――Ito: Do you have a vision of your future goals in mind?

Kanae Ito: I mentioned a few things in the recording, but I want to continue to expand my acting skills and grow in the future, and try not to change my style on top of that!

-- Let's live like yourself.

Kanae Ito: Yes. I also love to be busy, so I want to be able to share all kinds of things with everyone, so that everyone can be happy and feel happy at the same time. I want to create a space where everyone can have fun together at any time! In the future, I hope to become an "eternal being".

―― What would you like to say to the readers?

Kanae Ito: I talked about a lot of topics that I haven't talked about until now on VoiceSwitch, and I hope you will get to know me more clearly after watching it!

――It's hard to record!
