Friends who entered the second-dimensional pit late may not be very familiar with Tange Sakura, a female voice actress with a bit of a generation, she played the Sakura in "Magic Card Girl Sakura" in the late 1990s and is widely known in Japan, but the introduction of domestic television "Magic Card Girl Sakura" (Hundred Variations Sakura) is already a Chinese version of the station, so it is not easy to hear Tange Sakura's unique and very cute voice, domestic anime fans began to slowly become familiar with The voice of Tange Sakura, I am afraid that it will not begin until the character of Nero.
20 years ago, a "Magic Card Girl Sakura" became a hit
Sakura Tange, who debuted as a voice actress in 1993, is now also a senior female voice actress.
In 1998, MADHOUSE produced a classic CLAMP original work, "Magic Card Girl Sakura", as a typical magical girl drama animation, CLAMP's magical girl with its own unique temperament. Cute needless to say, not out of the daily and warm route, and there will be no death and heavy mouth scenes, so that "Magic Card Girl Sakura" maintains its own style, relying on warmth and sweetness to impress the audience.
At that time, Tange Sakura had not yet obtained such a weighty role as Konomoto Sakura, and Tange Sakura relied on her transparent, cute and highly recognizable Lolita tone, which perfectly interpreted the lively Sakura living in happiness and sweetness, and suddenly touched the audience in front of the screen. With the help of this role's outstanding performance, Tange Sakura became the most popular voice actor at the time, saying that Tange Sakura was better than the super popular voice actress Queen Hayashibara Keidu at that time, but at the same time, because of the enthusiasm of her followers, it laid the groundwork for the sudden closure later.
Sakura and Sakura Tange
Sakura Tange and Sakura Konomoto formed a deep bond. The sakura in The sakura in The name of Tange Sakura became a good story because of the same cherry blossom in the name of Kinomoto Sakura, but according to the recollections of the relevant people in the office, at that time, Tange Sakura was not chosen because of the consideration of the direction of Sakura's character name, purely because of The sound temperament of Tange Sakura in the audition, and the clear, cute ingredients of The Konomoto Sakura were very close, and finally successfully broke through and became Sakura's voice actor.
It was extremely popular, but it suddenly withdrew from people's sight
In 1999, Because of Sakura's success, Her career also reached its peak, but she suddenly announced her withdrawal from the firm during her hottest period, and even left the voice actor circle to no longer contribute to the animation program. Many speculated that she was forced to make such a choice due to reasons such as not being able to withstand the harassment of fanatical fans. However, the specific reasons have not been officially announced, so the truth is sunk in the sea.
In her hottest period, she quit the voice actor circle, a hot rising star that has been ignited, but was forced to give up her bright future, and people speculated about the reasons. Because she "quit the firm", some people speculated that she actually had a disagreement with the firm before quitting, but this claim has not been confirmed.
Years later, in the radio program during Tange Sakura's comeback, when talking about related topics, Tange Sakura only described it simply as "I was closed at that time, and then I was engaged in behind-the-scenes work in music, and I think I can do it", as if she did not want to mention the past again.
About the sound of Sakura Tange
Sakura's voice can be pulled very high without any trace of broken sound, and you listen carefully to Sakura's "rele~~ase" in "Magic Card Girl Sakura" that year, you can feel the penetration of her voice, transparent and clear. Sakura's nasal voice is not heavy, and the right nasal sound also makes her voice sweeter and not as sweet as riki's voice; her best voice line is the cute Lolita character, and the girly role in the formative period, the sweet voice line makes her voice texture more suitable for some lively Lolita characters, rather than the "proud and delicate" role that became popular after 2005;
Because of Sakura's successful interpretation of Sakura in 1998, Sakura Tange has created a large number of Lolita who like anime and voice actors. Her voice line does have a unique charm that many voice actors did not have at that time, and even later characters such as Nero still make many "old houses" deeply attracted.
Sakura was reborn from the fire and came back 10 years later
In 2009, KONAMI launched a handheld love simulation game, "LOVE PLUS", because of its rich love event design, and vivid character shaping, it became a super popular love game of The Japanese national level, which set off a phenomenon-level storm in Japan; at this time, it was also the first comeback work after 10 years after Tange Sakura left the voice actor circle, she contributed to the popular character Rinko Hayakawa, and the players were surprised to find that they were addicted to this popular game. I could actually hear sakura's familiar voice again.
The popularity of Rinko Hayakawa reminds everyone of the popular Tange Sakura, she does have a level, the popular "Magic Card Girl Sakura", and later the phenomenon of "LOVE PLUS", the works she participated in, all have top popularity. And after returning to her job in the vocal circle, she also got a pretty good role, but there is really no way to return to the popularity of the heyday and be so loved.
The name Ofe nero is derived from The Cherry Blossom of Tange
In 2009, the year of Sakura's comeback, Sakura Tange not only got the role of Rinko Hayakawa, but also got an important role. The red Saber in Fate Extra of that year, Nero Claudius. As the first RPG game named "Fate" launched by Shizuki on the PSP, the red Saber Nero is similar to the shape of saber in this part, so it has also attracted a lot of attention, and players have experienced this work and found that although the personality is completely different from this part, Nero also has his own personality and is active as a "tyrant". Similarly, Nero and Sakura's completely different vocal lines and performance styles allow players to find more reasons to like Sakura Tange.
And Tanishita Sakura said that after reading the script of the original work, she herself is very fond of the role of Nero, often in the social platform to show her joy for Nero, many people do not know, the sequel appeared in the Nero flower marriage of the image of the "flower marriage Saber" title, is not someone else, but from the mouth of Tange Sakura himself.
In 2018, after 20 years, "Magic Card Girl Sakura" also ushered in a series of new animation works, "Magic Card Girl Sakura CLEAR CARD", Tange Sakura once again played the role of Kinomoto Sakura, although the picture has changed to a certain extent, but it is true that Sakura's voice is still as pure and lovely as it was then, which makes many fans of that year extremely nostalgic.
Summary: Tange Sakura won an excellent work in the audition with her own strength, and played a role in this work, after getting applause, she also had to quit the stage because of the confusion brought by fame, but in the end, she still found her own place to belong, with her own cute voice, to give more character life, if there is no 10 years of withdrawal, maybe now she will still be a front-line female voice actress, let us look forward to more wonderful performances after her comeback.
