<big>'''A good-for-nothing(?) admiral who's struggling hard'''</big>
 +
<br><br>
 +
'''-- KanColle has finally entered its fourth year. To start this off, how about you tell us what your work was like so far?'''
 +
<br><br>
 +
Voice line recording started long before the game's release, but I got the job when I had just started working as voice actress, so when I suddenly received eight different scripts at the same time I got really startled.<br>
 +
I've been a fan of the military genre since back then, but I wasn't exactly familiar with stuff like Japan's Combined Fleet and such, so it also was the start of moments like "Wait, we had SO many different warships?!".
 +
<br><br>
 +
'''-- So far there have been many official fan events. Any memories of them you would like to share with us?'''
 +
<br><br>
 +
For the First KanColle Naval Review I participated via video letter, but for the Second KanColle Naval Review and the KanColle Spring Festival I was there in person, and I found it really impressive that you could tell how all the admirals that had come loved KanColle.<br>
 +
So many of them told me that it had become a part of their life, I was overjoyed by how much love the game was receiving.
 +
<br><br>
 +
'''-- There certainly are many admirals whose rhythm of life has improved thanks to KanColle. *laughs*'''
 +
<br><br>
 +
Admirals have to get up early after all. *laughs*
 +
<br><br>
 +
'''-- Any moments or memories from the game or anime recordings that left a particularly lasting impression?'''
 +
<br><br>
 +
Ah yes, the recordings for the anime. The original game has many cases of one person voicing multiple characters, so I was wondering what they'd do with the cast for the anime...... so when they told us that it would remain as it is and everyone would reprise their roles I was really surprised!<br>
 +
The cast list (i.e. schedule) had the very same line-up. Like the Ayaneru (Sakura Ayane) Fleet or the Suzaki (Suzaki Aya) Fleet, and it then became a real thing at the voice over booth.
 +
<br><br>
 +
'''-- You also seem to have been making progress as admiral lately.<br> Who happens to be your favourite ship girl?'''
 +
<br><br>
 +
My absolute favourite is Shiranui! She's by no means the strongest, but that overflowing confidence of hers is truly promising, and that vulnerable side she shows when getting heavily damaged right away in spite of that confidence is just so cute.
 +
<br><br>
 +
'''-- And when you return to the home port you can hear her say "Did I make a mistake?".'''
 +
<br><br>
 +
Something like "Mistake? Uh no, I didn't do anything wrong!" *laughs* I'm pretty much like that myself. I'm still unreliable as admiral, so I really like confident ship girls.<br>
 +
Among the first girls I got were Yūbari, Maya, Nagato, Mutsu, basically many girls with a clear sense of self, so I have a soft spot for strong characters like them.
 +
<br><br>
 +
'''-- Having the Nagato-class right off the bat surely sounds very promising.'''
 +
<br><br>
 +
I always bring Nagato and Mutsu to PvP matches, no exceptions.<br> Right now I rely on them the most.
 +
<br><br>
 +
'''-- Well then, if there is a ship girl you would like to get the most, who would that be?'''
 +
<br><br>
 +
Resources are scarce at my naval base, which means that I simply don't get to try Large Ship Construction, so I'd be glad if I got Yamato. <br>And as far as the ship girls I voiced are concerned, I've got all the destroyers, but among aircraft carriers I've got Sōryū but still no Hiryū, so Hiryū I guess.<br> And the 5th Carrier Division, too.
 +
<br><br>
 +
'''-- I see, so that's Yamato, Hiryū, Shōkaku and Zuikaku.'''
 +
<br><br>
 +
My Kaga is constantly being conscious of that invisible 5th Carrier Division, so I really want to bring her rivals along as soon as possible. *laughs*
 +
<br><br>
 +
'''-- By the way, which map are you currently at?'''
 +
<br><br>
 +
For now I've given up on the Northern Sea *laughs*, but in the Western Sea I'm currently at Ri Lanka.
 +
I'm levelling my entire fleet and aiming for the second remodelling of those girls that have one.
 +
<br><br>
 +
'''-- All right, so who is your currently highest-levelled ship girl? I'm assuming it's Nagato, right?'''
 +
<br><br>
 +
My highest-levelled girl is Yūbari, she hit Lv. 53 or 54, <br>and I still don't have a girl I could give a second remodelling.<br>
 +
She's a valuable light cruiser with four slots whom I can rely on in many situations!<br>
 +
Stacking nothing but drum containers on her is just sad though. *laughs*

<big>'''Reliable big sisters and nice ship girls'''</big>
 +
<br><br>
 +
'''-- Now we would like to ask you more about the ship girls you've voiced. First thing's first, could you tell us what kind of image you had in mind for each girl as you voiced them?'''
 +
<br><br>
 +
Back when I voiced Sōryū and Hiryū I hadn't had any big sister-like roles at all, <br>so I imagined them as something like "university students", <br>or let's just say with this "reliable big sister" aura.<br>
 +
If I had to compare them to each other, then Hiryū is assertive and spirited, whereas Sōryū tends to indulge herself in whatever floats her boat and just wants to do stuff at her own pace.<br>
 +
As you can hear in her limited-time voice lines, she seems to really love all these events. *laughs*
 +
<br><br>
 +
'''-- Sōryū was really making merry during Christmas and such, wasn't she?'''
 +
<br><br>
 +
The more voice lines were added the more you could see how Sōryū does as she pleases while Hiryū reprimands her for it, but Hiryū is not just level-headed, but also places her trust in "Tamonmaru" to such a degree it'd make the admiral jealous, so I always want to express this earnestness of her, as if Tamonmaru is by her side.<br>
 +
After all, Hiryū's historical counterpart fought valiantly right until the end.
 +
<br><br>
 +
'''-- Moving on to Fubuki, did you know about her status as a central character in KanColle when you started recording?'''
 +
<br><br>
 +
Hmm, they did tell me she was supposed to be a "main character"-like, well, character.<br>
 +
But the amount of her voice lines in the actual game was the same as for the other ship girls, so I was aiming for the hard working type that everyone would love; <br>pretty much a basic character.<br>
 +
Even during the recordings Fubuki was my first, so she became the basis of my performances from thereon.
 +
<br><br>
 +
'''-- Now to Shirayuki. She certainly gives the impression of a hard worker who's supporting Fubuki.'''
 +
<br><br>
 +
There are a lot of hard workers among the destroyers, but I didn't want her to be someone who relentlessly orders everyone around, but more like an idealistic class president type that goes "Let's all work together and do our best!".<br>
 +
Shirayuki is also rather modest in my opinion. She wouldn't say "The barrage is too weak!", but phrase it more like "I think the barrage is too weak".
 +
<br><br>
 +
'''-- Then Hatsuyuki is the polar opposite of her, isn't she?'''
 +
<br><br>
 +
I really really love voicing Hatsuyuki. *laughs* She's great, don't you think?<br>
 +
Having someone like her as part of the Fubuki-class makes their interactions much more fun to watch.<br>
 +
If I had to recommend someone from the Fubuki-class, it'd be her.<br>
 +
She's a shut-in, but when she has to go she does, which makes you think that oh, she really does have energy in her. I find that very endearing.

'''-- And the polar opposite of her is our energetic Miyuki.'''
 +
<br><br>
 +
I imagined her as someone who wants to express her desire to fight and try hard alongside everyone as much as possible.
 +
However, she's not just energetic. I think that when you consider her historical background you can sense something different about her. She's not just belligerent, she's simply happy to be able to sortie with everyone else, something the Fubuki-class is known for. I think she's a really nice girl. 
 +
<br><br>
 +
'''-- In that case I would love to know what you think of Inazuma.'''
 +
<br><br>
 +
Well, Mogami sounds cheerful when saying "I'm not colliding with anyone!", but for Miyuki it probably was quite the trauma.
 +
<br><br>
 +
'''-- Moving on, Murakumo certainly looks different to the others, especially her outfit.'''
 +
<br><br>
 +
Murakumo has the temperament of a queen; Of all the starter ships you choose her only to be met with such an unpleasant attitude, so I was afraid admirals would end up hating her when, for example, sortieing her for the first time......
 +
<br><br>
 +
'''-- I suppose there are many admirals out there who're actually into that sort of thing. *laughs*'''
 +
<br><br>
 +
She might be suspecting the same, so she has her moments where she behaves like that, and when she finishes a harsh tirade with "Now do your best", you just know that she actually cares about you a lot, don't you think? Yep, even Murakumo is a good girl!
 +
<br><br>
 +
'''-- And now to the last one, Isonami.'''
 +
<br><br>
 +
Isonami gives this, I don't know, fragile impression. At my naval base she's always been the flagship of my expedition fleets.
 +
I think expeditions suit her...... kinda. *laughs*<br>
 +
One might say that that honest effort she displays when going on expeditions while saying "I'm so glad!" with a vanishing voice fits her really well.
 +
<br><br>
 +
'''-- She certainly sounds fragile.'''
 +
<br><br>
 +
She does, doesn't she? Makes we want to think she did her best looking for that instant repair material.
 +
<br><br><br>
 +
<big>'''The anime version of Fubuki is a girl who's coming of age'''</big>
 +
<br><br>
 +
'''-- Are there any ship girls whose impression changed between recordings and actually playing the game?'''
 +
<br><br>
 +
My impression of them changed little by little. When we were recording the voice lines I hadn't seen the damaged artworks yet, so I had moments like "Oh, so that's what they look like?" when I saw them on the actual game screen. It also changed a lot when new voice lines were added.
 +
<br><br>
 +
'''-- Have there been cases where your impression particularly changed, for example with limited-time lines or post-remodelling hourly lines?'''
 +
<br><br>
 +
Murakumo really became a whole lot cuter in my opinion. Whether it's her hogging cake all for herself or trying her best when making curry, you can catch a glimpse of that childishness she's hiding deep down.
 +
<br><br>
 +
'''-- The hourly lines bring out the most of the girls' personalities, don't they?'''
 +
<br><br>
 +
The hourly lines are limited to certain points in time, so you rarely get to hear them. <br>
 +
Also, when Sōryū and Hiryū made turkey jokes to poke fun at Zuikaku in their Christmas voice lines I was surprised to find out that they were associated with the 5th Carrier Division.
 +
<br><br>
 +
'''-- What about your impression of Fubuki?'''
 +
<br><br>
 +
Well, there's the anime of course, but even in the actual game I tried to emphasise how Fubuki has grown up even more after receiving her second remodelling, so I think my impression of her has changed a lot.
 +
<br><br>
 +
'''-- The Fubuki in the anime is in the middle of growing up, isn't she?'''
 +
<br><br>
 +
In the game her lines change for the first time after receiving her second remodelling, but the anime is among other things Fubuki's coming-of-age story, so she's becoming more mature with each episode, with her mannerism and expressions changing bit by bit in my opinion.<br>
 +
In the beginning she was a complete novice who couldn't even sail properly, but in the final episode she was able to take action for her fleet. That's why I decided to not just stick with my performance to what she's like in the game, but voice her as a new girl who's starting from scratch.
 +
<br><br>
 +
'''-- So the anime was Fubuki's coming-of-age story. Are there any particular in-game lines you found especially memorable?'''
 +
<br><br>
 +
Hiryū's "Even if I'm the last one standing, I will fight on!" was one of the first line we recorded, but I thought it was a line of great significance when I found out about her historical background.<br>
 +
Also, I really wanted to use Murakumo's "You really are inept!" line in real life!

'''-- It's surprising that Murakumo is the romantic type, don't you think?'''
 +
<br><br>
 +
Yes, like using poetic expressions, calling the 11th Destroyer Division her precious sisters-in-arms, or trying to say something while watching the sunset. "Murakumo's Poetry Collection" is something I would see to see. *laughs*
 +
<br><br><br>
 +
<big>'''Future expectations, and trying to get Akashi?'''</big>
 +
<br><br>
 +
'''-- Apart from Fubuki, Sōryū and Hiryū also made an appearance during the last part of the anime. What is your opinion on them?'''
 +
<br><br>
 +
I saw them as Akagi's and Kaga's colleagues, or "reliable big sisters" so to speak.<br>
 +
However, Hiryū's role mainly consisted of chiming with everyone else, <br>so I had a hard time expressing her big sister image with just that.<br>
 +
If Sōryū and Hiryū appear in the anime film I'd love to try many more and different scenes with them. *laughs*<br>
 +
The film preview at the KanColle Spring Festival had many expressive shots of Sōryū, not to mention a scene where Hiryū bound Sōryū, which was really great, so I'd love to see more of that!
 +
<br><br>
 +
'''-- Well then, how about you share some of your enthusiasm for the upcoming recordings for the film?'''
 +
<br><br>
 +
When I watched the film preview I noticed that the plot would be way more serious and thought that since the last part of the anime had many fight scenes maybe the film will be a culmination of such.<br>
 +
Mutsuki has undergone her second remodelling, <br>Chōkai is playing a very large role, and so on.<br>
 +
I really want to see more ship girls that didn't make an appearance in the anime.
 +
<br><br>
 +
'''-- With the upcoming fan meeting, the Third KanColle Naval Review, around the corner, any experiences or impressions up to including the Second KanColle Naval Review you would once again like to share with us?'''
 +
<br>
 +
The second naval review was my first sortie so to speak. <br>The free conversations were fun, but the part where we had to act as our ship girl roles and perform plays was a really refreshing experience, and I totally loved that I got to wear Fubuki's uniform!<br>
 +
I was Bucky down to every minute detail, and had lots of photos taken together with my colleagues. *laughs*<br>
 +
I could tell from all the admiral's reactions just how much they love KanColle.
 +
<br><br>
 +
'''-- Anything regarding the contents of the Naval Reviews that left an impression on you?'''
 +
<br><br>
 +
I was really surprised when the veterans among the admirals had already figured the order in which we were going to introduce ourselves and already started cheering for everyone's ship girl roles right before it was our turn.<br>
 +
Also, the part where we had to pick things with those glow sticks was hilarious, and I found all the high-tech stuff really impressive, like when they made the Zuiun fly with a laser!
 +
<br><br>
 +
'''-- They might have something similar in store for the third naval review.'''
 +
<br><br>
 +
Rarely seen before ship girls will also make an appearance, and no matter what Abyssals show up for the stage play part, I'll defeat them all! With a Zuiun! That has lasers! *laughs*
 +
<br><br>
 +
'''-- And what about your impressions of the KanColle Spring Festival?'''
 +
<br><br>
 +
It was the first KanColle free-for-all open space event, but for something like that it was a very densely populated and cordial event.<br>
 +
Furthermore, the Tokyo Philharmony Orchestra's Kongō sisters quartette was lovely, but I was also able to attend the KanColle Classic Orchestra, which was awesome as well!
 +
<br><br>
 +
'''-- There have been many KanColle fan events so far. Are there any events you'd like to see in the future or things you would like to try at them?'''
 +
<br><br>
 +
Wearing not just the costumes but also the riggings would be nice, but that would take up too much horizontal space on the stage, which may complicate things.

'''-- Moving on, ship girls from foreign navies have started appearing in KanColle recently. Are there any ship girls you would love to see added to the game in the future?'''
 +
<br><br>
 +
The fabled senior "Mikasa", not to mention the enigmatic Reds, the Russian Leningrad-class destroyers!<br>
 +
I'm sure Верный will do her best as an interpreter. *laughs*
 +
<br><br>
 +
'''-- Any particular goals you would like to achieve in the game?'''
 +
<br><br>
 +
Whenever I fight marshal admirals in PvP the chance to face a fleet with Akashi as flagship is pretty high for some reason, so I'd like to do the same once I get Akashi!
 +
<br><br>
 +
'''-- You mean her Anchorage Repair ability to repair light damage without the need to use the dry docks, right?'''
 +
<br><br>
 +
Huh!? She can do that!? <br>Ooooh, now I get it, you can also interrupt her repairs whenever you want.<br>
 +
That way you can be considerate to ship girls who want to sortie again right away.<br>
 +
Yeah, I'd love to do that!
 +
<br><br>
 +
'''-- Good luck and fair seas! And to wrap this up, <br>a message to all the admirals out there, if you please.'''
 +
<br><br>
 +
As you might have noticed by now I'm a newbie admiral, <br>but I think there really are many ways to enjoy KanColle, <br>and I find it a fun game that allows you to make your very own naval base that way.<br>
 +
So let us not just celebrate the 3rd anniversary, but aim further than that!<br>
 +
By then I'd like to become a marshal admiral as well!
