01. Please tell us about your opportunity to become a voice actor.

A: I love drawing so much that I wanted to be able to pursue a career in art at first. However, when I was in junior high school, I listened to a radio hosted by a voice actor, and then I learned what a blow was. Since then, I have also become interested in voice performance. That's how I became a voice actor.

At that time, I was hooked on a fantasy work, and I thought, "I want to play in this work!" "Maybe that's one of the reasons why I chose to become a voice actor, right?

02. Which is Miss Taneda's animation debut?

A: It's a short anime called "Cherry Blossom Temperature". And I'm in charge of the presenter's voice coming out of the TV in the work.

03. In your previous works, is there any role that left a particularly deep impression on you?

A: Watanabe played in "New World" in the early season. It also has something to do with the fact that I was the first time I played the leading role, and it was a role that I was quite emotionally involved in. I have overcome obstacles with her and achieved growth in every sense of the word. Looking back on that work now, I still feel very moved.
