Early See + Dongshan: Talking about "My Spring Things"
[Therefore, the wise Biqi Gujun chose Caijia early on. 】
The popular anime "My Youth Love Story", adapted from the light novel of the same name, has just finished the broadcast of its second season. I believe that many viewers must be in urgent need of stomach medicine support after watching the last episode. Recently, some Japanese media interviewed Saori Hayami and Nao Higashiyama to interpret their works.
■ In the surprising last episode, what are Yukino and Yui thinking?
Q: "There's really something wrong with my youth love story. The continuation has ended, and the two have worked hard. This work should continue after the end of the second season, but first, let's talk about how you feel after the last episode.
Higashiyama: In the first season, Yui gave me the feeling of a girl in love, but in "Continued", she often looks at things from a mother's perspective. And walking into the last episode in such a setting also surprised me. I watched the lines from the last episode several times. And when dubbing, I directly discussed it with Mr. Duhang, and then continued to work.
Hayami: At the beginning, "Continued" focused on people outside the Ministry of Service, but it quickly returned to the focus on three people, which is quite meaningful. And the ideas of the three of them are very "I spring things" style. Although they have different ideas, they are still chasing a certain bond, so how will they find their way forward in the future? In the final episode, I think they've found the signpost.
Q: In this work, how did the two of them deal with Yukino and Yui?
Higashiyama: The plot of "Continuation" basically makes Yui more and more distant from the image of the first season. I watched the first season many times before I got into the work phase, and I could feel that Yui, who I understood in my heart, was slowly skewing in the voice acting. The sound director asked me to start with the details, saying, "Yui's lines before were all in the same tone as Hachiman's wife, but now try to express Xiàn in my mother's voice, right?" For this reason, my feelings for Yui have also switched.
Hayami: In the second season, Yukino showed a lot of new sides that he hadn't realized before. She was distressed by the changes that had happened to her, and she was so focused on the changes that she was in a state that she was always in a state of difficulty adapting to the environment. And in this regard, Yui and the others gave good guidance, so that she slowly approached the core of the story.
I feel like I've reconstituted Yukino when I created the character. I'm afraid Xue Nai himself doesn't quite understand his feelings. Therefore, I just need to express the feelings that arise at that moment when I am dubbing live.
■Did you find the real thing?
Q: At the climax of the last episode, there is a scene where three people rethink their current relationship.
Higashiyama: To be honest, I'm very annoyed. Even if I can understand Yui's mood and ideal conclusions, I really can't imagine how she will say it in a way or tone.
Now I re-opened the script book, and I was surprised by the precautions I had written before. This includes words such as "smile, give up, confide, cry in the heart, joy, nostalgia, sadness". And all these feelings need to be included in a single line......
However, I didn't think too much about it during the performance, and just expressed my feelings very bluntly. I'm afraid Yui also thought about it a lot, chewed on her thoughts, and then settled down to say these words.
In the first season, there is a plot where Yui and Hachiman go to a fireworks festival. At that time, Yui, who usually looked silly, had already shown the side of her heart with complicated thoughts. I was surprised at the time: Yui was also a girl with complex thinking.
Hayami: Yukino said to Yui, "Yubihama-san, you're so good." "Although I can't have the same mood as Yukino in the dubbing, I also cried unconsciously. I'm afraid this sentence contains all of Yukino's thoughts. Speaking of which, if it weren't for Yui, the ministry wouldn't have been established, so I really think she's amazing.
Higashiyama: If it hadn't been for Yui's efforts to ease the atmosphere and save the scene, the ministry would have disintegrated (laughs).
Hayami: The moment she said this line, Yukino felt that Yui was very dazzling. Xue Nai shed tears at that moment, I'm afraid it was because of this dazzling. So I think it's a great line. I realized that Yukino may have found the path she should choose when faced with an unsolvable problem.
Higashiyama: Yui saw Hachiman and Yukino and realized that if this continued, then she would have to leave. But she really wants to be able to date Hachiman. Even if you can't realize this idea, at least you want to continue the relationship between the three of you.
In Yui's heart, there must be a "don't throw me down" feeling, as if crying out. For this mood, she sorted out herself and said it in calm words in the last episode. However, at this moment, she witnessed the heart-to-heart communication between Yukino and Hachiman. Even though she had known about it for a long time, it was still painful to see this scene.
Hayami: When I was chatting with Wataru-sensei and Nao-chan, the teacher said, "Yui is here to say this for herself," and I was taken aback. It's not right, but it's still said. Although it was cunning, it still spoke out. At this point, Yui has also changed.
Q: The changes in the characters are really vivid.
Hayami: Actually, I felt as if I was witnessing the daily lives of the members of the Ministry of Service. And work with that feeling. So I'm purely curious about what the future holds. Like a year later or more, if they meet again, then there will definitely be changes. So I want to see their future as well.
Q: Do you think Hachiman has found the real thing?
Higashiyama: From now on. I will definitely find it in the future.
Hayami: I think I'll leave the answer to everyone's discretion.
■What does "My Spring Thing" bring us?
Q: So once again, what kind of work do you think "My Spring Thing" is?
Higashiyama: The feeling is to get the feeling through the guò words.
Hayami: Uh-huh, maybe so.
Higashiyama: This work ruthlessly exposed the parts of my heart that I tried to turn a blind to, and made me realize what my true heart was. In the second season, Koki and Yukino realized some problems due to Hirazuka-sensei's words, and were given the opportunity to re-examine themselves, and felt comfortable because of it.
It's an affirmation of oneself and a realization that "I'm not worthless." Perhaps this work is an opportunity to change our values and ways of looking at objects, so that we can have the seeds of "salvation".
Hayami: What I feel is "universality". As for the essential concept of the work, I believe everyone has the answer and it will resonate. For example, if I don't participate in the work, but I only occasionally see "My Spring Thing", I am afraid that I will nod my head and say, "I see." ”
■The "love" told in the ending song "エブリデイワールド"
Q: Both of them sang the ending song in both the first and second seasons. And this time, the word "love" appeared in "エブリデイワールド". But in this plot, I don't see "love" in the lines of Yukino and Yui.
Higashiyama: When I was in charge of supervising the lyrics of "エブリデイワールド", Mr. Watari said the same thing. In the ending song of the first season, "HelloAlone", I don't think there was any mention of lyrics like "like" or "love". But "エブリデイワールド" is deliberately involved. I think the reason for this is because the theme of "Continued" is "Say words that you can't usually speak", so the lyrics fit perfectly.
There is a line in the lyrics that says, "If I tell you, 'I like you', then the scenery and dreams you see now will disappear", which means that if you tell the other person that you like = tell the truth, then the relationship that you have been working so hard to maintain may be at risk of ending, but if you don't say it, it is not the "real thing". This kind of entanglement is very in the style of "Continuation".
Hayami: yes, yes. Even if you don't know the work, just listening to the song will make you think it's a good song. And if it is combined with "My Spring Thing", that moment will shine like a noble jewel.
You can see the background of the creation from the lyrics, and if you integrate your mood and feelings into the song through guò "I Spring Things", then it will be very shocking for yourself.
Higashiyama: The ending song of 12 episodes, "BalladeArrange-YuiSoloVer.", is also very important. Although the phrase "Please give me a gentle lie compared to the truth" seems very quiet, if it is linked to the plot, Xiao Qi says, "I want to get the 'real thing'", and Yui responds with "Please give me a lie"? But I think something will definitely happen in the future.
Hayami: There will definitely be something!
Higashiyama: In the last episode, Yui asked Yukino: "Xiao Yukino, is this okay?" And her statement is precisely "a gentle lie". That's what I want you to hear from the lyrics.
Hayami: This scene fully conveys "Yui's words" and makes people's hearts tremble.
Higashiyama: That's amazing.
■ "No matter what happens, I'm your companion" "Let's eat hot pot together~"
Q: Now that the last episode has ended, do you have anything to say to the three members of the Ministry of Ministry? Can you tell us about it?
Hayami: Personally, I'm like, "Yubihama-san, you're very cunning." ”
Higashiyama: (laughs). What I wanted to say to Yui from the beginning hasn't changed - "No matter what happens, I'll be your companion."
Hayami: What did Yui think in the last episode?
Higashiyama: I could feel Yukino's mood in the script of the first 12 episodes, but I felt terrible when I read the script of the last episode. Although Xiao Xue Nai understands Yui's mood, she can't even control her own mood.
So before the 12th episode, Yui and I were in the same mood - "Hope guards Yukino".
Hayami: I haven't changed what I want to say, and I hope to tell them, "Let's go eat hot pot together."
Higashiyama: (laughs).
Hayami: Originally, I wanted to say it to Yukino, but it seemed difficult to achieve, so I said it to three people (laughs).
Dongshan: For small businesses, on the one hand, I hope that he will not waver, but I also hope that he will waver a little more. To sum up this sentiment, I would like to see small businesses happy.
Hayami: What a mother......
Higashiyama: I hate it, it makes me want to cry~ (laughs)
Q: Thank you both for saying so much. Finally, please have a few words to talk to the fans.
Higashiyama: I really like the work "I Spring Things", and I thought that I would be able to see everyone soon when I recorded the CD of the radio drama. After the first season aired, I felt that everyone's mood of "liking this work" influenced the birth of "Continuation". Thank you very much.
Although these people are just "characters living in the works", the entanglements, romances, and wavering hearts in them give people a feeling of being close to them. If that's what everyone thinks, then it's not just a fiction. In the future, please continue to pay attention to the relationship between the three of them, and support the original work as well! Thank you very much.
Hayami: Thank you all for your continued support. Although the work has come to an end for the time being, the people in the world of "I Spring Things" will still have their lives. In this regard, I believe that everyone has their own imagination in their minds, and if everyone can work together to make the world of spring things more abundant, I will be very happy.
In addition, I think there will definitely be people who will feel that the world of things will bring something to their lives. Please enjoy this aspect as well. Please advise.
Q: Thank you for your time today.
