'''---- The Autumn Event "Showdown at Operation Shō-Gō! Battle of Leyte Gulf (Part 1)" was announced as an event where the Nishimura Fleet with [[Fusou]] & [[Yamashiro]] at its centre would play an important role, and they even added "Eve of the Final Battle" voice lines.

'''Fujita:''' Ever since I got involved with KanColle I took it upon myself to gradually learn more about the ships I voice and their historical background, and I grew really fond of the Nishimura Fleet. Of course I love all the ship girls I voice, but more like I find it cute just how much of a handful they are. <br>

Especially [[Yamashiro]] is someone I've always wanted to be happy. That's why I was so overjoyed when this Autumn Event would be the chance for the Nishimura fleet to be in the limelight.<br>

Actual history can never be changed, but I think one of KanColle's unique charms is its capability to create a narrative that allows one to relive history all while being able to overcome it if you try hard enough.<br>

I think the ship girls themselves would agree with that sentiment, so I tried to create a performance that was filled with their feelings and emotions.

'''Fujita:''' The historical backdrop is different compared to today, so I can't really say anything without giving it some thought, but...

'''Fujita:''' The historical context is different from today, so I can't really say anything without giving it some thought, but...

If I had to say what I felt as the voice actress of these ship girls, then frankly speaking I think I'd feel dejected and be full of regrets sortieing under such harsh conditions only to be forced to witness my sister ships and comrades sink right in front of my eyes while I myself am sinking as well.<br>

Which is why I want to play them in such a way that they're loved by everyone now that they've been reborn in KanColle and hopefully happy.

When we record lines for the game we usually record each of them separately, but this time the conversations were performed in one go.

I think those who've cleared the autumn event will probably understand what I mean, but even though [[Fusou]] and [[Yamashiro]] are sisters their reactions to accomplishing the same thing are vastly different.<br>

So I made extra sure to properly express their different personalities!

'''Fujita:''' Ship girls in casual clothing is a kind of funny idea, that's for sure. <br>

As soon as I took a look at [[Shiranui]]'s casual clothing I thought "Yep, that's like her!". *laughs*<br>

That hoodie... it just suits her so well! <br>

And her expression doesn't feature that usual piercing glance, but instead has a little bit of a plain softness to it.<br>

It's really cute how defenceless she looks.<br>

I want to see the other Kagerō-class ship girls in casual clothes.<br>

I'm just letting my imagination run wild, but I guess Kagerō would wear something that's currently in, and Kuroshio maybe something surprisingly girly?<br>

And it would be pretty hilarious if [[Yukikaze]] wore a neat and elegant outfit.

And [[Tokitsukaze]]...... *laughs*

Since I recorded the Abyssal ships' voice lines together with the autumn event lines this time it felt like I was fighting against myself, which also brought back nightmares of the [[Aircraft Carrier Princess]]. *laughs*<br>

Since this event is based on the Battle of Leyte Gulf, it turned out to be one that holds a very special place in my heart.<br>

Gimmicks that give you an advantage if you bring historical ships have been done before, but this we've also prepared special dialogues among other things, so I think the ship girls will grow to you even more just by playing the event.<br>
