Haruka Shiraishi, a rookie voice actor who has starred in roles such as "Although It's a Glass Kamen Z" (Himekawa Ya Bow Service), "Green Forest Daughter Ronya" (Ronia), "Dry Thing Sister Little Buried" (this scene cuts and paints) and other roles, has been very exposed during this period, and recently the media interviewed her.

Q: Miss Shiraishi starred in the TV anime "Dry Girl Koburi", and this character is also a classmate of Koburi.

A: Kiri-chan's eyes are sharp, so it's a storage zài who is scared by the students around him. But in fact, she cares a lot about small burials. It's very interesting to see how different the appearance is from the reaction.

Q: I feel that the hairstyle is different (laughs).

A: I used to have this hairstyle when I was streaming at NICONICO. It's like getting a ponytail and putting your hair on end. Actually, Kiri-e-chan's older brother is an explosive head, so he is called "BONBA", and in the original work, when Kiri-e-chan removes the headband on the back of his head, his hair will immediately "explode". So I'm afraid it's due to the inherited hair of the Ichiba family (laughs).

Q: Was there anything you particularly concerned about when you appeared in Kiri-e-chan?

A: She likes Xiao Bury very much, and she belongs to some perverted characters, so when facing Xiao Bury, she should be treated differently from her usual appearance. She also had a very funny look on her face when she was hit (laughs). With such an expression, I want to laugh heavily, and then accentuate the tone, or let out some surprised screams, and even the staff will laugh (laughs).

Q: Koburi will get the people around her into trouble, and what if Miss Shiraishi has such a sister......?

A: I don't think I'm bothered, but I'm going to love Xiao Bury (laughs). I'm a "younger sister" myself, and I don't have any younger siblings than me, so I'm supposed to cause trouble (laughs). Although Xiao Bury will willfully ask for something to buy, but looking into her eyes, he should surrender. The burial in the original manga is already cute, but it's even cuter when it moves (laughs).

Q: This time, the ending song "ひだまりデイズ" is a character song that you sang under the name of "Sister S".

A: This is my first time singing a character song, and I feel very difficult. Kiri-chan always looks very anxious, and when she gets excited, she trembles all over, and it's very distinctive in terms of attitude and way of speaking. The rhythm of this song is relatively positive, so I thought it would be better not to use the vibrato to express it, anyway, I struggled with a lot of problems when recording.

Q: I'm looking forward to seeing what I want to do in the future!

A: It's so sparkling at school, but when you get home, you turn into a 40-centimeter dry girl, which is a very healing work (laughs). And this also includes her relationship with her friends and brother, which is full of love and tenderness. I would be very happy if everyone could have fun laughing and having fun.

Q: Speaking of Miss Shiraishi's work, you also starred in "Ronya, the Daughter of the Green Forest" (Ronia). It's been more than half a year since October last year, so it's been a long time.

A: In the process of continuing to play Ronya, many people said, "You have become like Ronya". It feels like each episode has allowed me to slowly integrate into the character of Ronya, and even in terms of private life, I have formed questions such as "What can I do if I am afraid!" It's the exact same mantra as Ronya. In addition, I will laugh out loud, so I can say that Ronya has already stored in my heart.

Q: Speaking of which, how did Ms. Shiraishi feel when she was a child?

A: I don't think it's that much different from Ronya. It's just a kid who likes to run around in the park (laughs). I feel like I grew up in close contact with nature. When I get home, I'm a clingy child, always pestering my mother, and I'm more timid.

Q: You and director Goro Miyazaki are also working together for the second time after "From the Slope of Poppy". At that time, the voice of Sora Komatsuzaki was impressive, but when he starred in Ronia this time, did any of the stories happen?

A: People always say that Ronya's image is very "uncle", but in fact, she is deeply influenced by her father, so there are many similarities with her father. When I was performing, the director asked me to express this characteristic. Although Ronya is just a girl, she can't make a cute voice because of this. She was probably about 10 years old, so it was time for her to tell the story of what she had experienced before. For example, you have to be lively, and so on. I have to think a lot about Ronya's upbringing, but I put it in my voice.

Ronya's emotions are very obvious in her ups and downs, whether she is happy or angry, so I am very worried about how to match the voice with the expression on the screen. So every dubbing is also a variety of entanglements.

I think the voice actor is the work of bringing the characters to life in the anime works that many people are involved in producing. Those who construct the plot of the work, the person who colors it, and the person who makes the characters plump up, all have their own full love for the work. And in the process of communicating with them, I gradually fell in love with Ronya, and strongly wanted to make Ronia "come alive" in this work. I hope to be able to breathe life into Ronya, a character that is loved by many people.

Q: Do you have anything to tell everyone about buying DVDs or watching replays in the future?

A: It would be nice if it could become an animation that all children will pay attention to in the future. Even if the work is finished, I can't remove Ronia in my heart, and in the process of dealing with people, I can't forget Ronya's growth story. I believe that everyone can also learn from the works. This is a work for all ages, I hope you must pay attention to it.

Q: Speaking of which, your voice actor debut work was "From the Slope of Poppy Beauty", so how did you decide to appear at that time?

A: Originally, I was an actor, but every time I worked, many people said that my voice was good. I was only in my second year of junior high school at the time, so I didn't think my voice could be used for work, so I looked at a picture book called "Freddie the Leaf" and used it as a sample to audition for "From the Slope of Poppy".

Q: Originally, Ms. Shiraishi would have watched Studio Ghibli anime?

A: My parents are both fans of Ghibli's work and have a DVDBOX at home. Like "My Neighbor Totoro", they are basically watched in a loop and repeatedly. I like Xiaomei very much, and there are many photos of Xiaomei wearing a red dress and straw hat at home. I also go to the Ghibli Museum a lot, so I guess that's how much I like it.

When it comes to the anime I watched when I was a child, it was probably a Ghibli work, so when I decided to star in "From the Slope of Poppy", I was very shocked. I used to dream about this scene when I was a child, but when I started working, I realized that animation was created by combining sound and imagery. After "From the Poe of the Poppy", I decided to start dubbing in earnest, for example, Ronia was auditioned for Guò. And now that I think about it, I would have auditioned for "From the Slope of Poppy" at that time, and it made me want to cry, and I want to thank a lot of people. Technically, I need to learn a few different things, but if I feel like I can improve my performance field, I'll challenge anything, so it's great to be able to audition for "From the Poppy Slope" now. In addition to being a voice actor and an actor, I will continue to explore myself as a "watchful person" in the future.

Q: Also, could you tell us about the stage play "Insect Master" that was staged last year?

A: I played the role of Masumi in the TV anime version. And it's really hard to perform while holding the script. Although it is a performance, the action is actually reading the lines, and the purpose of the performance is not to express one's own expressions, but to express one's voice with one's voice. When I heard about this, I felt that even if the lines were already imprinted in my mind, I still needed to have the ability to look at the lines and perform them at the same time.

And after entering such a performance space, I felt as if I had flown into the world of "Insect Master", which was really amazing. The BGM is very beautiful. And when the voice of Yingu appeared in this space, the story of "Insect Master" also began. Mika Doi, who starred with me in "Ronya, the Daughter of the Green Forest", also participated in this work, and I will never forget the feeling I felt when I heard her read the title. I also hope that I can become such a senior.

Q: But the anime is also unique when it airs.

A: There are a lot of anime stage plays nowadays, but the stage play of "Insect Master" may need to be presented in this way to reflect the world view. I sometimes think that bugs are scary, but they can heal the fatigue of everyday life. Through the communication between Guò and the bugs, we have gained what is important. Once again, I feel that this is a work with deep meaning in every episode.

Q: Do you have any ideal image as an actor for such a Miss Shiraishi?

A: I like Sayaka Kanda very much, I've been watching her on stage for a long time, and I love every one of her works, and when I heard that she was going to appear in Frozen, I couldn't help but think: the person I want to achieve my dream has further realized, and I am working hard to improve myself. And her cousin told me that in order to do this, one must firmly grasp one's own destiny. So I want to be like Ms. Kanda, and become a person who continues to surpass myself and move forward.

Q: In the process of moving forward, have you never encountered difficulties?

A: If you feel tired from the performances you love, then I ask myself: Why is that? There's no particular reason for that, right? I think it's a lot of fun and happiness to think about the show, and I'm afraid that if I hadn't performed, I would have been an empty shell, yes, so important that it's so exaggerated. If you want to be competent in what you want to do, then you can't relax yourself.

And the reason why I say this is because I always have my family standing next to me, and my dog will come to greet me when I come home. This ample healing time helped me relieve my stress (laughs).

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

A: Thank you all for seeing this all the time. I'm stupid, so I'm reckless, but my goal is to continue to move forward as a voice actor and actor. I hope to bring a little more work to everyone, so I am constantly improving myself every day, so I will be very happy if you have your support.

Q: Thank you for your time today!
