In 2011, after the release of the movie "The Disappearance of Haruhi Ryogu" and the publication of the light novel "The Consternation of Ryogu Haruhi", this popular light novel series came to an abrupt end under the pen of author Tanigawa Ryu. The Ryogu Spring In the story has not disappeared, but the real Ryogu Spring day has not reappeared.
No one knows why, but Tanigawa will put aside his pen. It is rumored that Tanigawa, like Yoshihiro Tokiken, lived a leisurely life playing mahjong. In one interview, he even said that "80% of the time in a day is thinking about mahjong." But like many things that disappear in the world, the cause may not seem so important. With the passage of time, memories are only a few people who are not willing to enjoy patents, including the Galaxy Teacher in the newsroom.
In the epilogue to "The Consternation of Haruhi in Ryogu", Tanigawa Ryu ends with this sentence: "Then, let's meet again in a certain place and a certain place in a certain year." At that time, probably no one would have thought that Tanigawa Ryu had been planning for the real disappearance of Haruhi Ryogu for a long time.
In the blink of an eye, almost ten years have passed. When the author has long closed his pen, the voice actor has faded out due to scandal, the original animation supervisor has declared bankruptcy, and the production company Kyo Ani has been burned to the ground, probably all those who still remember Haruhi Ryogu no longer believe in the return of Haruhi Ryogu.
To this day, Tanigawa Ryu's "A certain place in a certain month of a certain year" has been officially released without warning - the new novel "Ryogu Haruhi" series of novels "Ryogu Haruhi Intuitive", which will be officially released on November 25, 2020, and the publisher is still familiar with Kadokawa Bookstore.
For more than ten years, things are not human. Lianggong Spring is coming back soon. But in this era, is there still a need for a cool palace spring day?
Born on December 19, 1970, Tanigawa Ryu is an authentic post-70s. His birthplace, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan, is the place reported in the weather forecast in the famous "Hyogo Kita" emoji.
Although he dreams of becoming a writer, Tanigawa Ryu, who entered the society, works as a clothing store and endures a boring and tedious life day after day. Such a life was clearly not what he was willing to accept.
Tanigawa was an avid lover of fiction, and as a student, he had a keen interest in science fiction literature and Benge speculative fiction. In Tanigawa's own memories, his student days were more mediocre for him. Passionate about reading, he began to accumulate material for novel creation very early, and recorded it in a book called "The Radio Notebook of Fans". This habit, he maintained for more than ten years.
Unlike many writers who became famous at a young age, it was not until the age of thirty that Tanigawa made up his mind to embark on the path of novel writing. The direction he chose to create was the light novel that was more popular with young readers at that time. After enduring 30 years of mediocrity, Tanigawa said, "I have no interest in ordinary human beings. If there are aliens, future people, otherworldly people, and super-powered people among you, just come to me! above. " declaration. No one would have thought that soon after, this declaration would be announced to the world through the mouth of Haruhi Ryogu.
2003 was the year that changed the trajectory of Tanigawa's life. In this year, "The Melancholy of Haruhi Ryogu" and "Escape from School" by Ryogawa Ryu were published in the Kadokawa Sneaker Library and the Electric Shock Library, respectively. Among them, "The Melancholy of Spring in Lianggong" won the honor of the eighth "sneaker" award in 2003. Before that, only two works had received this honor. To date, only five works have won this award.
Since then, "The Melancholy of Haruhi in Ryogu" has quickly become the hottest light novel of the moment. In 2005, "This light novel is really great!" selected by the Treasure Island Society! "The Melancholy of Haruhi in Lianggong" won the first place in popular works. In the following four years, the "Ryogu Haruhi" series of works has been listed continuously, and it has been the limelight for a while.
Today, the sales of the "Haruhi Ryogu" series of light novels have exceeded 20 million copies, and the fame and fortune are not only Tanigawa Ryu, but also Kadokawa sneaker Library. The boom triggered by "Haruhi Ryogu" quickly swept the Japanese animation industry, pushing the light novel adaptation animation to the peak. Among them, Kyo Ani left a strong mark.
Kadokawa Sneaker Bunko is a division of Kadokawa Shoten responsible for light novels, and its original target is juvenile novels. Since 2000, for the highly mature Japanese animation industry, light novel adaptations have received more and more attention year by year.
In the August 2005 issue of "The Sneaker," Kadokawa Shoten announced a "major publication" in the next trailer, and news of the animation of "The Melancholy of Haruhi Ryogu" was rampant. This speculation was confirmed in the October 2005 issue of The Sneaker, and in the December 2005 issue of The Sneaker, the list of animated producers was officially announced, the adaptor of this epoch-making light novel, which eventually ended up in Kyoto Animation.
Kyoto Animation is commonly known as "Kyo Ani", and also in 2003, the company, which has long been engaged in the "turnkey" business of animation, officially embarked on the road of independent animation production. The first work he produced was the well-known light animation "All Metal Frenzy? fumoffu》。
Perhaps it was kyo Ani's strength in lightly revised animation that Kadokawa sneaker Bunko was able to confidently hand over "The Melancholy of Haruhi Ryogu" into his hands. And Kyo Ani really lived up to expectations, and handed over a perfect answer sheet to the audience and fans of the original work.
On April 2, 2006, the anime "Melancholy of Haruhi Ryogu" was officially launched on Chiba TV late-night. Different from the traditional narrative mode, Kyo Ani boldly adopted the mode of chaotic playing and presented the work to the audience.
Now it seems that this groundbreaking playback mode is very much in line with the theme of the novel itself. The degree of topic brought about by the chaotic playback made the animation itself quickly trigger a wave of discussion. It is through this animation that Kyo Ani, who was previously lonely and nameless, quickly entered the public eye.
The reason for choosing to play in a disorderly sequence, in addition to the eyeballs of the people, in terms of narrative structure, Kyo Ani made a bold adaptation of the novel itself. Under the condition of ensuring the integrity of the main body of the novel "The Melancholy of Haruhi in Ryogu", it is properly integrated into some of the plots in the subsequent novels, thus ensuring that the animation itself is fast-paced and logically rigorous.
The person who was able to understand the novel so deeply, make a very appropriate adaptation, and creatively play it in a disorderly sequence was none other than The previously equally lonely Yamamoto Hiroshi.
In addition to the bold use of random preamble playback, the sos group dance is also written by Hiroshi Yamamoto. This dance appears in the ending song of the anime, and the sos members led by Haruhi Ryogu perform the "Ryogu Dance" that is famous enough to stay in the history of animation under the music of "ハレレユカイ (Sunny Day Good Mood)".
The social effect of Lianggong dance exceeded the expectations of many people and became a cultural phenomenon. The Lianggong dance danced by Izerriel in "League of Legends" is one of the topics that people talk about. The most surprising thing is that at the 2010 Shanghai World Expo, the promotional film "A Day in Japan" of the Japan Pavilion included animation clips of the Lianggong Dance.
To this day, even though the "Lianggong Haruhi" series of works has been forgotten by many people, the Lianggong dance still maintains a high degree of popularity.
On April 26, 2020, during the most devastating period of the new crown epidemic, Aya Hirano, the voice actress of Haruhi Ryogu, shared a video of dancing sos at home to encourage people trapped at home due to the epidemic.
Soon, the male protagonist A-hue's voice actor Sugita Tomokazu joined the dance team. The dreamy linkage between Aya Hirano and Tomokazu Sugita also evokes people's memories of the times.
In 2009, in the "Legendary Voice Actors" polling event sponsored by Japan's Oricon Public Trust List, Aya Hirano, who was 22 years old at the time, won the tenth place in the list after a group of senior voice actors. It took her only 3 years to achieve this honor.
Before 2006, Aya Hirano was just a lonely newcomer voice actress. By chance, Aya Hirano was introduced by a friend and received an audition job. On January 26, 2016, the manga magazine "Shonen Ace" announced the voice actor lineup of "The Melancholy of Haruhi Ryogu", with Aya Hirano dubbing the heroine Haruhi Ryogu.
In Hirano's own view, her personality is closer to Asahina. But it turned out that the production team's choice of her as a voice actor for Haruhi Ryogu was a perfectly correct decision.
This is confirmed in the classic song "God knows...".
Hiroshi Yamamoto, who is not afraid of tigers, is another highly creative setting in "The Melancholy of Haruhi in Ryogu", which is a bold creation of the "God knows..." animation mv. In order to achieve the desired effect of Hiroshi Yamamoto, this animation adopts the artistic treatment of truly restoring the singer's facial expressions. The lead singer of the song was Aya Hirano, who was only eighteen years old at the time.
During the singing, Aya Hirano was fully engaged. For her young and full of sharpness, she has no regard for her own facial expression management, singing to the climax of the song, and the vicious expression is real and vivid. Hiroshi Yamamoto did not make any changes, and restored Aya Hirano's expression in the anime. And this singing animation comparable to "Yan Yi" has become a classic that the audience talks about, leaving a strong mark in the history of animation.
In 2011, "The Consternation of Haruhi Ryogu" became the series "Masterpiece". In the same year, Aya Hirano's nude photos of kissing a man were exposed, and public opinion was in an uproar. For Aya Hirano, who became famous among the "otaku" group, such a scandal is fatal. Angry fans began to insult Aya Hirano on the Internet, and some even dismembered Haruhi's doll in Ryogu to curse Aya Hirano. In the hearts of many people, Haruhi Ryogu and Aya Hirano have been bound together.
In 2012, the daily gossip magazine Caizo published a report on the "Difficult Future of Idol Voice Actress Aya Hirano announcing her transition to a female artist." According to the report, the reason for Aya Hirano's transfer from voice actress is because she hates otaku. This rumor intensified, and eventually formed a stereotype of otaku - dead house is disgusting. Even though Aya Hirano has repeatedly denied this claim, how many people are willing to believe her?
Like a meteor, the legendary voice actor fell to the altar. The "Haruhi Ryogu" series, which has not been released for a long time, seems to have closed the door to Aya Hirano's comeback.
On July 18, 2019, a fire broke out at Kyo Ani Daiichi Studio in Fushimi-ku, Kyoto City. A total of 36 people were killed and a large amount of precious information was destroyed. For a small company, the fire seriously damaged Kyo Ani.
After the incident, Yamamoto said on social media that "I am not in Tokyo", a frivolous statement that quickly angered netizens and was accused of schadenfreude. In order to calm the anger of netizens, Yamamoto Hiroshi once again posted a message of condolence and went to the scene of the fire to pay homage.
During the fire, Yukiyuki, who drove Yamamoto out of Kyo-Ani, was killed, and At the same time, Kinakami Washiharu was also Yamamoto's guide.
In 2006, after the huge success of Ryogu Haruhi Melancholy, Yamamoto became a sought-after animation supervisor. In 2007, after overseeing episode 4 of Lucky Star, Kyo Ani decided to remove Hiroshi Yamamoto. The reason for the dismissal was humiliating: "As a supervisor, this situation has not yet been reached. ”
Since then, Yamamoto has quickly moved to the trough of his life. After repeated entrepreneurial failures, in 2019, Yamamoto announced bankruptcy.
On April 27, 2020, after Aya Hirano released the Ryogu Dance, Hiroshi Yamamoto also uploaded a video showing the correct way to dance the Ryogu Dance. It's just that for this infamous and once suspected insulting animation supervisor, perhaps his best relationship with "Haruhi Ryogu" is that he has no relationship anymore.
On August 11, 2020, Kyo Ani announced the final production of the second season of "The Dragon Maid of the Kobayashi Family". The weather-beaten animation production company is reinvigorating.
On August 31, 2020, Kadokawa Shoten announced the official resurrection of the "Ryogu Haruhi" series, and Tanigawa Ryu re-emerged from the mountain. On this day, perhaps many people have waited too long.
Tanigawa Ryu is back, Kyo Ani is back, spanning ten years, will the animation of "Ryogu Haruhi" come back?
