In 1995, a work called Neon Genesis Evangelion (EVA) was born, and the influence of the work is still very strong today. In order to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the work, a special program was recently held, and Megumi Hayashihara, who voiced Rei Ayana, was invited to attend as a special guest.

In addition to Megumi Hayashihara, EVA enthusiasts such as comedy artist Atsuhiko Nakata also participated in this show. The details of this event have also been reported by Japanese media, and the full text is as follows:

At the beginning of the show, Shingo Fujimori and AKIE Suzuki, who served as hosts, appeared. Due to the influence of their surroundings, the two have heard about "EVA" to some extent, but they are not very familiar with each other. However, the guests led by Nakata are all loyal fans, and they say the famous lines of the work one after another. In particular, the appearance of Megumi Hayashi Harahara caused cheers from the audience.

The program was held in a number of sessions, starting with the "EVA 20th Anniversary! Tell Rei Ayanami again! "Let's go. In the face of everyone's symposium, Hayashihara, who voiced Rei Ayana, also smiled and expressed surprise at times. She herself tells some stories about the dubbing period.

In addition, the fans voted for the "Say the EVA name scene that everyone selected!" During the session, the guests also talked about these classic clips, especially Nakata was particularly involved and almost fell into the rampant mode.

At the end of the show, in order to let everyone know more about Lin Yuan, the organizer also held a "Super Crazy Lin Yuan Guessing Puzzle" activity, and everyone also had a deeper understanding of Lin Yuan Hui through this link.

This program is scheduled to be broadcast on NOTTV on August 16 at 23:00~23:30 and August 23 at 23:00~23:30.

In addition, the Japanese media also took this opportunity to interview Megumi Hayashihara.

Q: What are your thoughts on participating in this program?

Lin Yuan: I am full of emotion. I've known for a long time that EVA has always been loved by people, but this show is a great way for me to reconfirm how this work looks like to every fan. Maybe this work became a driving force for everyone to move forward when they were students, maybe Tong Guò felt a resonant sadness in this work, or maybe he just felt "very handsome!" ”……

And this mood has not declined as everyone grows up, but is still loved by them when they grow up. I'm very happy to be a part of such a work. As Mr. Nakata said, if you can still enjoy this work when you are the age of Fuyutsuki (59), then there is nothing more joyful than this.

Q: What would you like to say to the fans who are looking forward to the show?

Lin Yuan: I rarely appear in public, but it is not easy to appear on this show because of the opportunity. At first, I wondered: If the voice actor appears in front of everyone, will it affect everyone's opinion of Rei Ayanami? However, this time I tried to star in it, and I talked to everyone a lot, and my worries were swept away. Even though my home is a recording studio, what comes out of it spreads like sparks everywhere. I've talked a lot about this show, so if you don't mind, take a look.

Q: If it's convenient, please tell us about your future events.

Hayashi Yuan: I just released an album called "Time Capsule". When recording this album, I thought about a lot of the characters I voiced before I met Rei-chan, maybe it's because of these characters that I was able to voice Rei-chan, right? This mood accompanied the entire recording process. And maybe some people don't know that I dubbed Rei-chan when they watch EVA. In fact, for many works, there are also many people who will say, "This character is actually dubbed by Megumi Hayashihara!?" And through the album guò, I hope everyone can also dig out the time capsule hidden deep in their minds again and recall it well. Please advise.

Overseer Noriaki Akitani talks about "Dandelions in Joshita-cho"

The TV anime "Dandelion of Joshita-cho", which tells the daily stories of the members of the Sakurada royal family with superpowers, is currently on the air. In order to elect the next king, more than 2,000 cameras closely monitor the actions of the nine siblings of the royal family, whether it is the original or the animated version, this new work can instantly attract the attention of the audience. Now, let's listen to the charm of the anime director Noriaki Akitani talk about this work.

INTERVIEWER What is the outline and appeal of the work?

Akitaya: This is the story of nine siblings of the royal family with special abilities who grow spiritually while holding elections in order to decide who will be the next king. Of course, the charm of the work is the "big family". Personally, I really like the warm and touching stories between siblings in the big family, and I also think it is very valuable to animate. I hope you will pay attention to how these characters with very different personalities gradually grow up as the story progresses.

INTERVIEWER What are the precautions for animation?

Akitaya: The most important thing to pay attention to is how to make your brothers and sisters active. I discussed it with Reiko Yoshida, who was in charge of the script, during the script writing stage, and I wanted her to add more scenes to the characters. It is difficult to explain and express the abilities and personalities of each character while making the story develop interestingly, so it is difficult not to interrupt the story. In addition, my siblings have many friends and classmates, and how to make them active is also a question that I often think about.

INTERVIEWER In the minds of the animation staff, who among the nine siblings is the most popular?

Akitaya: To be honest, I don't know. Each of them has their own merits, and whoever makes a good king. In general, everyone is a good child, helping each other, taking care of each other, and a group of brothers and sisters who have a very harmonious relationship act according to their own ideas. In particular, they have both the sense of life and values of ordinary people, and the consciousness of being a royal family, which is remarkable.

- Was there anything fun or hard about making this work?

Akitaya: The best thing about it is that I have a nice group of staff to help me. Many of the staff are as considerate as the members of the Sakurada family, so I can work in a comfortable environment. That's what makes me happy.

As for the hard part, it is that there are too few words. I wanted to put a lot of plots in the animation, but there were too few words in the animation, and how to choose carefully became a problem. Which plot to use and how long to do it, these questions are nerve-wracking.

INTERVIEWER What will you see in the future?

Akitaya: In the future, the plot will be more specific in the direction of the election, and I hope you will enjoy the process. In the plot that sets the stage for the finale, the thoughts and values of the siblings and those around them change. Hopefully, we can do a good job of inducing the audience to see the big surprise at the end of the election.

- A few words to the fans, please.

Akitaya: The original has the advantages of the original, and the anime also has the strengths of the anime. Whether you are a fan of the original work or a fan of the anime, I hope that everyone will find the advantages of both and understand the differences between the two. I hope that the work "Dandelion in Joshitachi" can warm everyone's hearts.

Kajiki on "White Cat Project" and "Seven Deadly Sins"

Recently, the popular work "Seven Deadly Sins" announced a collaboration with the game "White Cat Project". For this reason, Yugui Kaji, who worked as a dubbing worker in these two works at the same time, naturally felt a lot of emotion. Recently, he was interviewed by the media.

●This collaboration will contain a story that will make fans of both works smile

Q: This time you dubbed Meliodas for the first time in a long time due to the collaboration, how did you feel after the recording?

Kaji Yuki: Actually, every work is like this, depending on the medium of participation, you need to change the emotions contained in the lines. This time, I hope that my performance will meet the requirements of cooperation. Meliodas is in a position that doesn't overlap with my previous roles, so it's a pleasure to be voicing him again for the first time in a long time.

Q: And what kind of romance do you actually use to play the role?

Kaji: Actually, in this episode, Meliodas isn't a very talkative character. However, he has a lot of acting skills, so I was thinking about how to show my acting skills at the same time. In this sense, it was both fun and difficult to voice him.

Q: I think the character of Meliodas has a feeling that it is difficult to grasp and difficult to say.

Kaji: When I was acting in the anime, I also felt that this character would be a big theme in my mind. Usually always act in a good way.,But there's also a mysterious side and a strict part of it.。 That's where I pay attention to the character.

In that sense, there's nothing too mysterious about the plot in this collaboration (laughs). For those plots that are more exaggerated than the original, I want to expand my imagination as much as possible while maintaining the style of the characters.

Q: Considering that the anime has been launched for half a year, and there are other apps to cooperate with, you have been dealing with Meliodas for a long time. So what kind of role does this play for Mr. Kaji?

Kaji: I can say that the voice characters in each of these works are unique to me. These roles expand an aspect of my mind and are therefore very important and irreplaceable. And I'm the one who voices with that mentality. However, when I first dubbed Meliodas, I didn't play this type of character before, so it was a process of enjoying while challenging and creating a character image in it.

Q: I see. So about the plot of this cooperation, I would like to ask you to briefly introduce it here. What kind of content will be unfolded this time? Please introduce it without spoilers (laughs).

Kaji: That's stumbling on me (laughs). In terms of content, I think you can get the most out of the actual game. Personally, I am very happy about this collaboration because I played the protagonist of "White Cat Project" and "Seven Deadly Sins" at the same time. Of course, the communication between the protagonist and Meliodas is also ...... That being said, it's actually a pity that the protagonist doesn't have many lines (laughs). But after all, the two have a dialogue, so the plot should make fans of both works smile.

In addition to Meliodas, there are also many characters from the Seven Deadly Sins, so I think it would be a good thing if we could use this opportunity to get people to start playing White Cat Project.

Q: Personally, I wish the protagonist could have more lines......

Kaji: yes, I should have some lines...... (laughs). Similar needs have been expressed in letters and messages from fans. There are a lot of voice actors who play "White Cat Project", so every time you see me, you say, "You don't talk at all, you're weak." ”…… I'm one of the players, so from a player's point of view, I would like to have more lines for this character to make it easier for people to get emotional. If there's still a chance to voice him sometime, then I'll be happy. I'm looking forward to it! (laughs)

Q: Is there anything that impresses you from the lines in this recording?

Kaji: I was impressed by the Meliodas phrase "So, then~?" in the style of Meliodas. In addition, the very familiar special move "All Counterattack" has also appeared, and other characters will also use lines and special moves that are very familiar in the anime. I hope fans of The Seven Deadly Sins will look forward to this as well.

Q: "White Cat Project" is a story that allows players to embark on an adventure in the world as an adventurer, but if you have the opportunity to go on an adventure or fulfill it, where would you like to go?

Kaji: I'm a traveler, so whenever I find time, I want to go to a lot of places. If it's a long vacation, then I think it's good to go to see the World Heritage Sites abroad, and if the time is right, it's good to go to the southern countries to relax. Among them, I think Hawaii is a very special place. It has an atmosphere that makes everyone happy, and it's a place that I can't forget to return no matter how many times I visit.

Q: So, would you like to say a few words to the readers who are looking forward to this collaboration?

Kaji: This is a collaboration between two works that I worked on for dubbing, so I've always been very happy. It would be nice to have fans on either side of the market fall in love with another work because of this opportunity. In particular, if you are interested in the Seven Deadly Sins, you can enjoy the work from a variety of angles, such as games, manga, and animation. For fans of the Seven Deadly Sins, it's also a good idea to be able to play White Cat Project on the road or in your free time. In short, as long as fans of both works can enjoy the other work, then I am satisfied.
