'''--- Let us start with once again looking back on "KanColle" during the year 2017. Please share your thoughts on the "Fourth KanColle [[KanColle Naval Review|Naval Review]]" that was held in September.'''
'''--- Let us start by once again looking back on "KanColle" during the year of 2017. Please share your thoughts on the "Fourth KanColle [[KanColle Naval Review|Naval Review]]" that was held in September.'''
'''Touyama:''' The venue was bigger, we had more newcomers (ship girls) and there were a lot more people I met for the first time as a ship girl voice actress, so I once again felt that "Oh wow, who would have thought that the game would change this much within a year?".
'''Touyama:''' The venue was bigger, we had more newcomers (shipgirls), and there were a lot more people I met for the first time as a shipgirl voice actress, so I once again thought, "Oh wow, who would have thought that the game would change this much within a year?"
I was impressed not only by the changes, but also by how many admirals participated in every single "Naval Review" and kept supporting me.
I could feel that "KanColle" keeps moving without stopping.
I could feel "KanColle" ceaselessly moving forward.
'''--- Your switching between the four Kongō-class sisters while singing "Our Bond with the Admiral" also was very delightful.'''

'''Touyama:''' There have been many admirals who told me so in letters etc., so I was under a lot of pressure, but I'd feel be honored if my performance of "Our Bond with the Admiral" became something that will forever be remembered as a part of the "Naval Reviews".
'''Touyama:''' There have been many admirals who've told me so in letters and such, so there's quite some pressure, but I'd be honored if my performance of "Our Bond with the Admiral" became something that will forever be remembered as a part of the "Naval Reviews".
Since "Our Bond with the Admiral" is based on the BGM that plays during a tentative wedding, I sang it as the four Kongō-class sisters in unison, and until last year even at the "[[KanColle Naval Review|Naval Review]]" encore.
Since "Our Bond with the Admiral" is based on the BGM that plays during [[Marriage|tentative weddings]], I sang it as the four Kongō-class sisters in unison, even at the "[[KanColle Naval Review|Naval Review]]" encore just last year.
I think it is a song that has a deep meaning not just for the four Kongō-class sisters but also portraits the bond between all the admirals out there and us ship girls.
I think it is a song that has a deep meaning, not just for the four Kongō-class sisters but also for the bonds between all the admirals out there and us shipgirls.
It began with the "Naval Reviews" and I'll have many more opportunities to perform the song in the future, but I'd like to focus myself by keeping in mind just how precious this song is when I do.
'''--- This time you performed on a parade float.'''
'''--- This time you performed on a parade float.'''
'''Touyama:''' That's right. I felt it was very significant that I tried something new by singing a special song such as "Our Bond with the Admiral" on a parade float while waving at the admirals whom I was passing on it.

I think I could feel their warmth more than usual, and that it wasn't just theirs but also that of my singing voice.
I think I could feel their warmth more than usual - not just theirs, but also my own in my singing voice.

The fans are always trying to create a cozy atmosphere, but I think that this time I could feel even more at ease while singing.

'''Touyama:''' "KanColle" helped me connect with many different people, and I really love that I can get excited about KanColle on other occasions as well.

Also, there have been cases of fellow actresses telling me "I got a role in KanColle this time" as the number of new ship girls increases.

Some of them even told me "Hey, I actually got a role" after the fact, but there haven't been that many opportunities for them to tell me in advance, so I was just so overjoyed by the fact that so many people are involved in "KanColle".

I'm simply glad that we who've voiced ship girls before and the newcomers can share the same feeling.

When it was announced at the "[[KanColle Naval Review|Naval Review]]" we had already returned to the backstage, so we couldn't see in on the same screen as everyone else, but we were eagerly watching everyone's reactions from the backstage monitor. *laughs*

Even if the game gets a "2" stuck next to it I still think that it's unusual to call it "Phase 2", so I was surprised by that.

Also, I'd really love to sing a duet as Ayanami and Shikinami.

Come to think of it, I wanted to get those clear file folders so much I went to a Lawson myself.
However, the shop assistant there was a foreigner, and didn't understand Japanese that well.

It certainly left an impression that I had to experience the force that is KanColle first-hand.

The Budōkan is such an impressive stage, and now that I've come this far I want to give it all I've got. Not just as a singer, but also as a voice actress.

I want the time my fans spend at the show to live up to the trust and support they've been giving me. "Rainbow", the show's title, symbolizes this bond between them and me, and it's an important motif that has been used as my artist logo among others things ever since my debut, so I want that day to be one where it really is all sunshine and rainbows and I can feel the bond I share with my fans.

'''--- For this New Year you took part in a photo shoot while wearing a long-sleeved kimono. What was it like?'''

'''Touyama:''' It was really fun! *laughs*
'''Touyama:''' It was really fun! (laugh)
When picking which kimono to wear I initially suggested one based on Kongō with yellow as the base color, but since I'm voicing several ship girls I wanted to include everyone if possible, or at the very least I would have been glad to include the colors of all four Kongō-class sisters, so I picked a kimono with as many different colors as possible.

The multi-layered collar actually includes [[Kongou]]'s yellow, [[Hiei]]'s green, [[Haruna]]'s red and [[Kirishima]]'s black. When I was holding it in my hands I was like "Oh my god, this is great!" and got really excited.

Using black for kimonos seems to be rather difficult because it makes you look old among other things, but I wasn't having any of it and used red and black near the sash clip anyway and yellow and gold near the sash.

The ship girls are all very charming and are so unique that you can tell which line belongs to who by just reading them without having to hear their voices, so I'm always looking forward to voicing my girls.
