The TV anime "Fafnir of the Emperor's Endless Iron", which is currently airing on TBS and other TV stations, focuses on the "Type? Dragon" (abbreviation: D) is a fantasy story of girls fighting seven dragons in order to save the world. One of the main characters in the play, Ellera Lu, who has experienced countless lives and deaths, is believed to have left a deep impression on the audience. This time, we had the pleasure of interviewing the well-known voice actress Tokui Aozora who voiced Ellera Lu, and walked with her into the story behind the work and the character.

As we all know, Tokui Aozora officially debuted as a voice actor in 2009 by playing the role of Himenomiya in the anime "Vice SurviveR", and then starred in the battle of Rangzaki Nilo in "Detective Opera: Girl Sherlock Holmes", and officially entered everyone's attention. But what really made Tokui famous was her appearance in "LoveLive!" Nicole Yazawa, whose impeccable acting skills and on-site ability made her often nicknamed "Nicole Tokui" by fans, and became popular all over the house circle. So what kind of Elera Lu will she bring us this time when she starred in "The Endless Fafnir of the Emperor"? Let's get straight to the point.

■What is the charm of "The Endless Fafnir of the Emperor" in Tokui Qing's hollow heart?

――First of all, please give us a brief introduction to the work "Fafnir of the Endless Emperor".

Tokui Aoku: It's a work with a lot of cute girls, but not only that, but there are also many brutal battles waiting for them. With the development of events, the story before the protagonist Yu Monobe enters the Brunhilde classroom gradually becomes clearer, and the overall plot becomes more complicated.

――Tokui: What do you think is the appeal of this work?

Tokui Aoku: Those must be cute girls! But they're handsome when they fight!! Occasionally, it even makes people can't believe that this is the same work, and Zhang Chi is very good-looking.

――Those of you who went to see this work for "cute girls" may be surprised. (laughs)

Tokui Aoku: yes. From heart-pounding cute descriptions to terrifying dragons, it's dizzying. But they're really serious about fighting dragons, and I think anyone who sees them will simply want to cheer them on. This school park only had a sister before the arrival of the Thing-kun.,So the stories of the past and the problems of the present are intertwined.,Forming an intricate plot.,I hope everyone can pay attention to these contents.。

―― Tokui, what kind of girl is the Ellera Lu you play?

Aozora Tokui: Ellira appears in every episode, but there are no particularly exciting parts of her yet, and I personally hope that she can play well in the future stories.

――Tokui: Do you have any similarities with Ellera? Or what did you learn from playing her?

Aozora Tokui: First of all, I don't have a lot of physical fitness, and I don't have strong motor nerves like Ellira, which is not like that. But maybe her cheerful personality is more similar to mine, right? I usually voice cheerful girls at work, but when I play Ellira, I carefully distinguish between the scenes in the classroom and the battles. Because Ellera on the battlefield is like two people.

――What was the atmosphere like at the recording site?

Tokui Aoku: It's very calm and warm. THERE ARE OFTEN SNACKS AND CONDOLENCES FROM THE STAFF ON THE SCENE, AND FOR SOME REASON THEY ARE ALWAYS PLACED ON THE EDGE OF MY SEAT. That's why I'm the one who tastes a snack and tells everyone what it tastes like. (laughs) also,Because the majority of the girls on the scene are included.,Matsuoka Zhencheng, who dubbed the protagonist...... He always had to sit quietly in the corner by himself. (laughs)

- "Quietly"? (laughs)

Tokui Aoku: That's right, but he still communicates with people a lot. I wanted to know that Matsuoka sat alone in the corner and looked at the girls around him and said, "This is delicious!" "What kind of mood is it when you're having fun. (laughs)

――Would you like to participate in other content of "Fafnir of the Emperor's Endless Days" in the future? For example, character songs and the like.

Aozora Tokui: Singing is great! It's rare to have so many girls, and I think it's nice if you can sing a song together. Moreover, the stage of the work was originally in the school, and all the female students sang the "school song" and the like. It would be great if it could be realized.

―― So let's tell you about the highlights of this work for those who are about to watch this work.

Tokui Aoku: Whether you are fans of the original work or fans of the anime, first of all, I hope that you will pay attention to the OP theme song of this work, which is very handsome and fascinating. Other content can be watched from many angles, such as liking cute girls, like cruel plots, or friends who like girls fighting, I hope everyone can feel fun from the work.

――Is there anything in your work that you particularly like?

Aozora Tokui: Personally, I've wanted to experience what it's like to "fight in a drama" for a long time. I haven't had that opportunity in any other work I've starred in so far. And this work just fulfilled my wish, and the characters in the play all have different abilities, which is very handsome, and I can devote myself to the voice work. Sure enough, "The Endless Fafjnir of the Emperor" is very different from ordinary campus works, and the girls are all at the forefront of the battle with their lives.

――Did you feel like you were playing your best while recording?

Tokui Aoku: Yes! Since I originally wanted to dub a combat work, I practiced in my head many times beforehand. When it was recorded, he was also told by the sound supervisor that "the voice is a little too strong" because he was too hard when he shouted "The wall is unfolded", and the emotion was too much. I hope that the improved "wall defense" will be recognized by everyone.

―― Finally, would you like to say something to the fans?

Tokui Aoku: This is a work that can be enjoyed from many angles. What I recommend is Elise-chan's .......

- Huh!? Isn't it recommended to Ellera sauce? (laughs)

Tokui Aoku: Ah, of course, Ellera-chan's! But I think Elise-chan's slightly shy but active posture is very attractive and deeply rooted in my heart.
