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 "Rookie Voice Actor Guide", we will introduce those who have been featured in "Ordinary Female High School Students Want to Be Local Idols", "Invaders in the Santsubo Room!? and January's new "Absolute Double Blade" and other works, which have an excellent performance Xiàn Imamura Saixia.

Q: What was the reason why Ms. Imamura became a voice actress?

Imamura: Ever since I was a student, I've been in love with manga and anime. I watched a lot of anime and got to know the voice actors in detail. At this time, more and more people are saying to me, "You have a cute voice." When I joined the drama club, I started to like honing my acting skills, and then I entered a school with the goal of becoming a voice actor...... I made the most of my love for manga and anime, and went straight to the way of otaku (laughs).

Q: Speaking of which, haven't you ever considered participating in the production of manga and anime as an otaku?

Imamura: I'm so bad at drawing (laughs)! It's really not good to draw (laughs). Actually, I got into the house when I was in the first year of junior high school. At the time, I thought I wanted to be good at drawing, so I bought a manga to read. At that time, I accidentally purchased the work "Legend of the Demon Soldier", which was serialized on Shonen SUNDAY, and copied it. But then I was hooked on the plot. The author of this work, Nobuyuki Anzai, wrote "The Flame of Fire", which I first read in a shonen magazine and later in a youth magazine. And I like manga with beautiful graphics, so I also read a lot of women's works.

Q: What works do you recall now?

Imamura: "Genius Mahjong Girl", "Grim Reaper", "Gintama", and "Tianyue", "Hidden King" and the like. And "Sengoku BASARA" is the work that I value the voice actor the most. Now I'm obsessed with "Volleyball Junior!! 》。 I like Kageyama very much (laughs).

Q: Your debut as a voice actor was "Friends of the Week".

Imamura: Yes. I didn't know anything at the recording site, but I just greeted everyone (laughs). Standing in front of the microphone, I was so nervous that I couldn't even remember anything. There were only two lines, and they were very well-paced, so I thought, "You can't go wrong with this!" If I had more lines, I wouldn't have been able to come back alive (laughs).

Q: So, you played the heroine Hotaka in the TV anime "Absolute Double Blade" that is currently airing! So what do you think is the charm of this work?

Imamura: First of all, I think in terms of the plot, everyone has their own goals, and each character can make people emotionally engaged. The setting of the four heroines is very interesting, and their personalities are also very individual. Although they all use the "Flame Fang", a weapon that embodies the soul, they are used differently for each person. Although there are exceptions, it is still a dream to dream of a weapon becoming a symbol of the soul or something.

In the work, there are teams of 2 people fighting in the form of "twin blades", which is also very good. It's also good that as you practice and fight, your relationship changes. I played Koya (**) with Koba (voice actor: Sayaka Suwa), who is a very strong and reliable girl. However, the lovers exchanged views between the two of them (laughs). The minibus is too female, so at the dubbing scene, Miss Haruka Yamazaki, who voices Lilith, will always complain and say, "Are you a boyfriend!" "(laughs) The minibus is really a place for Xiaoya to feel relaxed~

Q: So what kind of character is Xiaoya herself?

Imamura: As I said at the beginning, her boobs are so big! Every time I say this, I make the people around me angry (laughs). After all, this is F**! F**！！ I'm from ABCDEF! I began to count the past (laugh).

Q: (laughs) If you don't take the number master seriously, you won't be able to feel the weight.

Imamura: Yes (laughs). Of course, it's also very cute from the picture. Her personality is very honest, she is more afraid of life, and she is not good at dealing with boys. It is a type that is easy to get into deep thought. Because she has no self-confidence, she looks like she's down when she enters the group of other powerful characters...... But this is not humility, she is a fighter who will continue to work hard, and will conduct some hidden special training to become stronger. Also, Xiaoya's "Flame Fang" is a very large "cavalry gun". I think it must be because she has a strong soul that she can conjure such a powerful weapon. So Xiaoya not only has big breasts, but she is also a stubborn struggler, and she is also a cute girl (laughs)!

Q: I think she has a gentle personality and is very impressive (laughs).

Imamura: That's right (laughs). The feeling of swaying, swaying, swaying (laughs).

Q: In the past, when Ms. Imamura was interviewed in a voice-over interview, she said, "I hope you will look forward to the appearance of Xiaoya's breasts in the anime."

Imamura: That's right! Personally, I think the sound effect of her nipples is a joy to hear...... BAYINBAYIN~ Purr and other sounds. Ah, but maybe it's a little different, similar to BOYIN? Knock, drip? Okay, these are my casual YY, anyway, everyone is looking forward to it (laughs).

Q: Speaking of which, can we also look forward to some popular footage and welfare returns in the future......?

Imamura: Didn't you already provide all the benefits before? It's the first time I've ...... myself I feel the ** of women, this is not the same as the feeling of a minibus (laughs)......

The other characters are also very powerful. If I were the protagonist of the Thoro-kun, I might have been beastly a long time ago...... The reason why I think this is because I saw the plot when Toru-kun got up in the morning and found that his hand touched something soft next to him. Wow~ How did it become like this! And it's morning~ Anyway, I definitely can't stand it (laughs). Thank you very much (laughs).

Also, in the plot of the sea, Julie-chan spins behind Touliu-kun...... It's a lot of imagination (laughs). In other words, I wish there would be some brain-made plots (laughs)!

Q: In a good sense, I think the work is very lively (laughs). Speaking of which, what is the atmosphere of the 4 heroines at the dubbing scene?

Imamura: Actually, the other three people were together during the training center, and the office was the same family, so they have been friends for a long time. However, it was the first time I was voicing a main character, and I wondered what it would be like if I was isolated on set. But from the time I recorded a radio drama CD and met them for the first time, these three seniors took the initiative to let me integrate into the circle. Miss Yamazaki would talk to me in a gentle voice on the spot, and Miss Yamamoto would show her gentle side as well as her strict side. For example, I was reminded that "you can't do that here!" Miss Suwa said, "Our names are pronounced the same." It's a senior, but it feels very cute. I OFTEN COMPLAIN ABOUT HER IN NICONICO'S LIVE BROADCAST, AND I FEEL A LITTLE EMBARRASSED...... Really, I think the first time I voiced a major character was on the set of "Absolute Double Edge", which was great!

Q: There are currently broadcasts on the work, and there are events such as "Absolute Double Blade Pai Duì" every week. It can be said that the work not only allows Miss Imamura to show off in dubbing, but also gives you a stage to show in other places.

Imamura: I was a little scared of life and wasn't very good at being filmed, so I was very nervous at first...... In particular, the activity of being able to see the faces of the guests makes it easier for me to be distracted...... However, everyone made a "YES! I am very happy with the response, and I can now enjoy the event. I love talking. It is the type that can go from 1 to 100 of what happened today.

Q: You're from Osaka, but you don't have a Kansai accent.

Imamura: Really? I'm trying to adjust my pronunciation to Mandarin, and I'm glad you say that~! When I went to a vocational school, students from all over the country gathered in the school, so dialects were scattered everywhere. However, after about 4 months, I felt that I had adjusted my pronunciation to Mandarin, so that people would not ask, "Are you from Osaka?" ". On the contrary, now I am occasionally said, "Let's have a Kansai dialect!" I don't know what to say (laughs).

Q: So, I heard that Ms. Imamura is very fond of coin-operated game machines. Please tell us about that, too!

Imamura: I like it very much! This is the interest that has been maintained for a long time. I've wandered around various game centers, and I've become the king of the shops near my home, and I've mostly swept the shops near Shinjuku. Every time I search for "Tokyo Coin Machine", I will run to play it whenever I find a store that I haven't played before. I love bingo, but the old ones are gone. I once heard that there was a Zài on Heiwa Island, so I ran over to it (laughs). With that feeling, I've played most of the types of coin-operated consoles.

Q: How long will you stay at the game center?

Imamura: Play from morning to night. There are even cases where you go in when the store is open and come out when the store is closed. If you have five or six mainframes in the store, then there are usually poker machines and slot machines. At first, you can buy some coins with 100 yen, and when you save 100~200 coins in the game, you will gamble on a jackpot or something, and then change to the next store after success. One day felt like it passed like this (laughs). I can find out the location of the game center on the Internet, but I need to confirm with the naked eye how many game consoles there are (laughs). Also, I'm very concerned about the environment of the store. For example, whether the smoking area is separated from the non-smoking area, whether the passage is convenient, etc. Gloves and towels are also provided in some places.

Recently, there are many machines that can use fingerprint authentication and other pre-stored game currency. So I also have a machine that I have always liked to use (laughs). After logging in with your phone, you can take your numbers with you and use them to create zào characters and collect props.

I'm a person who, once I start talking about coin-operated game machines, I'm afraid I'll continue to talk about them for the rest of my life (laughs). "Sea Story" has gambling content in it...... Anyway, I care about every detail (laughs). So if you date me, you're not the kind of person who plays coin-operated games (laughs).

Q: So, when you are on vacation, you basically play coin-operated game consoles?

Imamura: I've been getting tired from a lot of things I've been getting started with lately, so I've been sleeping all day (laughs). I seem to be the type who gets into trouble easily. And at this time, you will put aside a big sleep (laughs). I like to sleep myself (laughs). When I'm not sleeping, I play coin-operated consoles, read novels, and go to Internet cafes once a week.

Q: Ms. Imamura has a lot of interests.

Imamura: Exactly. But I'm actually trying too hard! I'm the type who keeps doing whatever I like (laughs). I once played 21 bowling balls in a row, and it hurt my knees. It took me about 2 hours to finish a novel, and in an Internet café, I read a manga for about 5 or 6 hours. As long as I concentrate, I can get through a few hours. This feeling is good ~ happiness (laughs).

Q: When you read manga, do you study from the perspective of performance?

Imamura: It's easy to get sick with occupational diseases, but I'm also a man who likes manga, so I enjoy the work itself. I'll look at some of my previous works, and I'll read them if I like them!

Q: What types of works do you read in novels?

Imamura: Hiroshi Arikawa's "Illustrated Guide to Plants" and the like. I've collected some books that are easy to read. I also like period novels, and the one that fascinates me the most is "Mio's Cooking". The protagonist is a female chef who overcomes all kinds of hardships to achieve her dreams. Period novels are very easy to read, and I cry every time I read this book. Happy, sad, joyful...... This is a book that can make people feel a lot of emotions. It's also easy for people to get emotional.

Q: So, what kind of voice actress does Ms. Imamura want to be in the future? Please also sue us!

Imamura: When I come to the dubbing scene now, I still feel that I am immature...... First of all, let everyone know that there is a voice actor named Imamura Ayakuza zài, and then sharpen myself even further, and sooner or later I will see my name in various works. I hope that when you read the manga, you will have the idea that "this character's voice should be made up with Imamura's voice". In the future, if I can become a voice actor who can sublimate my work (just like the voice actor in those anime works I've seen), then I will feel very happy. Ah, before that, I want to be a great person from a human point of view (laughs). The voice actors are really great people, and I think every day: I wish I could get a little closer to everyone!

Q: Finally, would you like to say a few words to our readers?

Imamura: First meeting. I'm Aya Imamura. I'd be very happy if you could get a little interest in me in this interview! In the future, I will work hard to be able to appear in various works, so please support me!

Q: Thank you for your time today!
