——First of all, I would like to welcome Miss Momoi to China and to Chengdu. Can you talk about your impression of China and Chengdu?
Momoi I love pandas very much! Although there are pandas in Tokyo's Ueno Zoo, I have always wanted to come to Chengdu, the base camp of the production area, to see pandas!
(In addition, when Ms. Momoi took the photos of the interview, she specifically mentioned that because she came to China, she specially wore a sweater embroidered with the pattern of Street Fighter 2 Li Chunli and asked to be photographed.) Everyone pay attention to the right)
——So on this trip, is there a reservation to see pandas?
Momoi is a pity, there is no. After tonight's show, I'm going to fly back early tomorrow morning. So, the next time you come, be sure to go to the Panda Center and get a panda card!
—— The pandas there should now be seen through online live broadcasts.
Momoi is right, I have been watching the pandas through the Internet before, and sure enough, I still want to see it with my own eyes, and if I have the chance, I must go!
——Regarding Chinese cuisine, did you eat it this time?
Momoi seems to have eaten beef fried noodles yesterday, which is very tasty.
——Chengdu's cuisine, because it is Sichuan cuisine, so there should be more spicy things, Miss Momoi to eat?
Momoi is about to perform next, so spicy ones are generally not allowed. But I like to eat spicy, and I often eat very spicy mapo tofu in Japan, so I still want to eat it.
——The mapo tofu in Chengdu should be the most authentic.
Momoi really wants to eat it
——So let's ask about your experience, can you talk about your opportunity to become an artist, and some of the things that debuted at that time?
Momoi loved listening to music when I was a student, and I went to a lot of concerts and bought a lot of CDs at the CD shop in Akihabara. In high school, I began to try to compose music myself. Weren't there a lot of "Shibuya" people at that time? But there is no "Akihabara lineage". When I was a student, I often went to Akihabara, and I had a good relationship with the clerks of the game console shop and the regular customers in the store, and I played almost every week, and then I worked there and bought some second-hand accessories for the computer.
- Like STEINS; Gate" in that way.
Momoi right! It's exactly "STEINS; That feeling in GATE! But that store, no one came, it felt like it was about to close. I just said that people who had the Shibuya clan at that time did not have the Akihabara lineage, so they wanted to make Akihabara music. When I was a teenager, I started making Akihabara music. CD debuted 15 years ago, that is, in 2000, and it was positioned as the Akihabara lineage around that time.
——Miss Momoi has also made a lot of works as a voice actress, can you talk about the debut of the voice actor?
Momoi in the second half of the 1990s, I made my own homepage. It was very rare to have a personal web page of its own in that era, especially for girls. I wrote articles on my personal webpage and was caught up in magazines hoping I could publish them or something. Once, suddenly, I received an invitation to do a radio show, and I tried to do it. After listening to my broadcast, the other party left a message on my webpage, saying: "There is a voice actor audition for a new anime made by Dragon's Son, and I want you to participate." At first I thought it was scam information (laughs). Then I asked the people around me to confirm the authenticity, I went to the audition, and after getting the script, I called a sentence "Kyosuke Jun ~" And the result was qualified, and then I was selected as the voice of the role of Wheat.
——"The Soul Taker ~Soul Hunting~" (hereinafter referred to as "Soul Hunting") is right.
Momoi pair, "Soul Hunting". At that time, I hadn't taken any voice actor classes at all, and I was a little worried and said to the other party, "Let me go to the voice actor class!" As a result, I was told that "it's fun now, just like that, no need to go to class", so I entered the studio without any experience, said to me, "Then please", and the voice actors next to me also held their own scripts, I had no experience, and I could only expect the seniors to take me. After the matching of wheat, it was well received, and the role of wheat was separated from this work to make an OVA.
- This should be a very rare thing, because the role of "Wheat" was very popular, so it was separated from the work "Soul Hunting" to become a new worldview?
Momoi is like this. At that time, STAFF was very fond of the role of Wheat and had feelings for this role. Because "Soul Hunting" is a very serious work, I want to separate the wheat into a work that is both bright and joyful. At that time, I said, "If you make a completely different work, it should be very interesting." Then today, when I sang the song "Love", which was sung on stage today, I wrote this song, but I didn't expect that Wheat was really animated separately.
--------------------------------- Sure enough, Miss Momoi will still appear as a voice actress.
Momoi is right, but in the new anime, I don't play the role of the former "Nakahara Wheat", but the role of "Yoshida Koharu", the mother of the heroine "Yoshida Wheat". The previous wheat was very evil, and "Magic Nurse Wheat R" is no longer the evil animation of the past.
- King's Way Animation?
Momoi pair, King Way animation. Voiced for the character of Yoshida Wheat is Miss Baquiy, a new voice actress. In addition, the voice actors performed in each episode are also very luxurious, which will definitely make you frightened, so stay tuned!
- The next question is the STEINS; GATE), Miss Momoi also starred in the work, the game's new work "STEINS; GATE 0 has also just been released, about "STEINS; What's so interesting about GATE when it comes to dubbing?
Momoi starred in STEINS; Gate voice actors often talk about this point: we each played a lot of similarities with ourselves, such as Asami Imai, who starred in Makise Hongliqi, often knew that no one asked her, she was on Cosplay, and at the concert, it was normal to wear Red Liqi's clothes on stage. There are also many voice actors who completely treat their own roles as their own. I played Phyllis, who also liked the role of Akihabara very much, and I was very close to myself, and I thought it was really good to play Phyllis.
——Not only as a voice actress and singer, Miss Momoi you also provide songs for other voice actors and singers as a creator, and it is true that in terms of creative activities, you should be different from the position of voice actors and singers.
Momoi made me think about it, this question is a bit difficult. To say that the same is the same, to say that it is not the same is not the same. When I compose music, I don't think about what instrument I use first. Because the song is ultimately entered into the computer with instruments such as keyboards, but if I did this in the first place, my creativity would be limited by my personal technique. So I first thought, "I want such a piece", "I want that kind of song", first compose the music in my head, and then input the prototype of the song into the computer, and gradually transform it to a degree that can be released to everyone. Then about the singing aspect, such as seeing today's stage, I had the idea of how to heat up the atmosphere of the stage. For example, I deliberately approached the audience at the beginning, stood at the back of the stage, and then walked to the front at the critical moment to mobilize the atmosphere. From this perspective of "turning delusion into reality", the way of composing and singing is similar. For example, I have been writing songs for the Afilia Saga team, and at the Afilia Saga concert, I will think about what kind of songs are suitable for this occasion, and when I watch animation, I will also think about what kind of songs are suitable for this occasion, all from the delusion of the creation, so I think there should be no difference.
By the way, my personal favorite this season is the OP of the 35 Test Squad of The Magic Guide Academy.
Momoi really?
- Unfortunately, I forgot to bring the CD this time.
Momoi is a pity, but really grateful. If you tell Afilia Saga about this, you will be very happy.
Although this OP feels more like ED (laughs).
Momoi is indeed like this.
It feels like it's going to end when you hear it.
Momoi (laughs) The lyrics of the first paragraph of the song "Embrace Blade" are written based on the impression of "The 35 Test Squad of The Magic Guide Gakuen", and the lyrics of the second paragraph are written in the impression of Afilia Saga.
- This is really valuable information. Next, 2016 is coming soon, does Miss Momoi have any goals for next year and the areas she wants to challenge?
Momoi successfully came to China in December this year, and I said that it is now an era when I can learn all kinds of information overseas through the Internet, so I want more and more people to hear my music, and this idea is stronger than before. When I think of performing in other places, both in Japan and overseas, I will enjoy a wonderful time and become a beautiful memory. And I also released my own album "Stay Gold" this year, 3 years from the last album, received a lot of praise, if you can also release a CD next year, it would be good, I hope it is all my own songs (laughs).
--Finally, is there anything you'd like to say to the fans in China and on tonight's stage?
Momoi's stage this time was excellent, and the partners who performed together were also excellent. Because I haven't been to China much, I hope to come often! If you come back to China, please pay more attention to your Chinese friends and enjoy tonight's stage performance together!
