More of teh Interviewy thing.
And that Kappei Yamaguchi will voice Inuyasha again.
Yamaguchi: I've been hearing from a lot of people since the show went on the air, from TV people to my neighbors (laughs). I've found out that a lot more people are watching "Inuyasha" than I expected. Hidaka: I went to a gig at a different studio, and people were talking about "Inuyasha" all the time, not the show they were working on (laughs)! "Noriko-san, I'll play Shippo. And he'll probably play Hojo."
Takahashi: Will Kumiko Watanabe do Shippo? I'm looking forward to hearing that. I wonder what sort of voice she'll use. I saw her at the opening party last week, but I didn't have the guts to ask her to do a little Shippo right there (laughs)!
Yamaguchi: We had Miroku and Koga at the party, too. I'd tell the readers who they are, but it's still a secret, sorry!
Takahashi: Indeed. I can't wait to hear that person do Miroku (laughs)!
Hidaka: He couldn't come to the party, but Ken'ichi Ogata, who's doing Myoga, told me he's looking forward to the sessions very much. Everyone who got parts are really excited and waiting anxiously for their sessions. That's so cool!
Yamaguchi: For myself, when I got the part, I was so blown away that I couldn't believe it really happened, and I couldn't feel anything, even joy. When I got back to my house, it all gradually dawned on me and I suddenly just went, "Yesss!"
Takahashi: From a long time ago, since the very beginning, I thought long and hard about Inuyasha's voice. I couldn't think of anyone but Kappei-san. In the early production meetings the staff asked me if I had any requests. There was only one: "Please have Kappei-san do Inuyasha."
Yamaguchi: That's wonderful, I'm so grateful! It's a lot of responsibility.
Takahashi: Honestly, I want you to play it the way you feel it. I told them then that I take it for granted that the animation would be very different from the original story. I firmly believe that everything will be better if all the voice actors are completely comfortable with how they're doing their parts.
Yukino: I've been a fan of Ms. Takahashi's work since I was a little kid, and it was so strange to be playing what I'd been reading. I went to the audition for Kagome thinking, "I HAVE to get this part!" It came true, and I got it. After that the pressure, gradually built up. I asked myself, "Am I really Kagome? Me? Are you sure?" It got really heavy.
Takahashi: Don't worry, you're perfect for it!
Hidaka: That's so funny. I go to an audition absolutely resolved that I'll get the part, then after the audition I'm sure I was terrible, then I do get the part and I'm ecstatic, then I realize I really have to do it and the pressure makes me all nervous again. This emotional rollercoaster seems to be the same for everybody.
Yamaguchi: For me the hardest time was between getting the part and recording Episode 1. But that's when it's most exciting, too, huh?
Hidaka: I was going to the audition for Kagome, but I knew nothing about her, so I went to a bookstore, picked up the comic, took a look at her and was shocked to find a 15-year-old girl!
Yamaguchi: Younger than Akane....
Hidaka: No, no, (laughs) that's not what I mean! For the past few years I've been looking for more adult characters. So at 15, Kagome didn't look very good in that way. Anyway I kept reading, drawn in by the story. I didn't pay much attention to the characters at all and finished the whole thing. It was great. But, well, that's not what I should have done, right?
Yamaguchi: That happens, I can relate.
Hidaka: Then I went back to the story and rediscovered Kagome as an attractive character, typical of Ms. Takahashi's heroines. Looking at her as an actress, I wanted to play her. But, personally, I was still so attached to my favorite character, Akane in "Ranma 1/2." Anyway I went to the audition and read my lines, feeling a strange sense of deja vu. I didn't know whether that was good or bad, and I went home with mixed feelings about the whole thing.
Yamaguchi: I don't catch that you were feeling that way. I just kept going on about myself, didn't I? I apologize.
Hidaka: Thank you (laughs)! A while later, as I expected I was offered "another" character, not Kagome. I said to myself, "I knew it!" I thougt that other character would be Yura, so I reread the story over and over thinking about her (everyone bursts into laughter)!
Hidaka: Then they told me I got Kikyo, and I thought that made a lot of sense. Now I was elated, playing the wonderful past life of Kagome. (laughs) This time I read the story focusing on Kikyo. Honestly, she's a tough one, not like any other character I've done, but I could see some challenge in her. To get to Kikyo, I had to wander around through several character (laughs).
Yamaguchi: Now I understand the long history behind that first line (laughs)!
Takahashi: Watching Hidaka-san working in the studio, I only thought of your professionalism. I never imagined such a history behind it (laughs).
Yukino: But Ms. Takahashi, was that really your first time in a recording session?
Takahashi: Yes, indeed. The first since I was born (laughs). Everything was new, and it was quite a show. Listening to you chat during the break, I was seeing you totally as ordinary fans, saying, "this person plays this character, that person plays that...."
Yamaguchi: During the session, before they introduced you, I looked back and saw Ms. Takahashi there. That made doing my part more fun.
Yukino: I was too involved to look around.
Yamaguchi: 'Fun' might not be the right word. I was told that Ms. Takahashi recommended me for the role, so I wanted you to hear me as soon as possible; naturally I'd decided I had to live up to your confidence and turn in the best possible performance.
Takahashi: I didn't realize that. It was a little weird dropping in so casually, as if I'd come to play or have a bite. It was clear that you were all having so much fun with your parts.
Oops. That was LONG...

Gabriel's Wings
Okay, rightio. I'm going to talkie, well, obsessie, about one of my minor obsessions. I have a tonne of minor obsessions, more like really extreme like-ings. If you see my point? Theres my biiiig obsession *cough* kate bush *cough* and then theres the more minor ones. A minor obsession can be something really trivial e.g. for me, roses, the colour lime and retro patterns. Or it can be like phantom of the opera or whatever. Usually one obsessiony ist dominant tho teehee. For kayomi is prob lockets hehe. Anyways. I am going to talk about the charactor Gabriel from the film constantine. She is so cool! I really like the actress too, she is amazing and shes been in some really good films. She was the white witch in narnia, which, without her, would have been a really shit film sorry to say it. She also played Orlando (yes that is a boy's name, yes she was a boy, and yes in the film she did change into a girl. Moving on) Probably the main reason i liked her so much was her wings. The computer graphics in this film are really amazing and the wings look real. The picture was the best i could find but it is nothing compared to the moving picture. They look so real ... in the fil she is sooooo coool! She jumps down and teehee you think she's a really minor charactor who is just a bit cool, but then at the end she turns out to be the -- (i wont say for spoiler purposes) well she turns out to be really major. Could we do something like that in the manga...? Yeah well she rocks ma socks totally. I think its basically some minor obsessions merging. I have a wing obsession already and i really like the angel gabriel (i think her saint's day is my birthday .. not sure ...) and i really like tilda swinton (the actress) so it all adds up to super coolness! I will try and see if there is a video clip on the net anywhere. Prob not though. Well, here are some picys i managed to find on the internet.
nice picture teehee. Her eyes are so cool. Because she is a half breed she looks like that with the eye thing. hehe.
Me love the wingehs
at the beginning of the movie with her wingies spread. only constantine can see the wings of course, and only he knows she is the half-breed. Except for other cool special peoples
This is when she jumps down onto constantine. It's a bit of a spoiler but hey no one will ever know .....
Kinda bad picture but it looks good when moving.
Sorry this is a bit of a random post but the wings are just soo cooooool! You all have to see this movie just for the wings alone, it's worth it. Goooood movie. Goooood charactor. Oh yeah i joined the fanlisting for her its on the fanlistings page heh heh. See ya!

Sony Bravia (Heartbeats)
I've suddenly got really addicted to the song "heartbeats" by Jose Gonalez. It was used in the really cool advert with all the bouncy balls going down the hill in san fransisco for whever. The lyrics to the song go:
one night to speed up truth
we had a promise made
four hands and then away
both under influense
we had devine scent
to know what to say
mind is a razorblade
to call for hands of above
to lean on
wouldn't be good enough
for me, no
one night of magic rush
the start a simple touch
one night to push and scream
and then releaf
ten days of perfect tunes
the colors red and blue
we had a promise made
we were in love
to call for hands of above
to lean on
wouldn't be good enough
for me, no
to call for hands of above
to lean on
wouldn't be good enough
and you, you knew the hands of the devil
and you, kept us awake with wolf teeths
sharing different heartbeats
in one night
to call for hands of above
to lean on
wouldn't be good enough
for me, no
to call for hands of above
to lean on
wouldn't be good enough
for me, no
It's such a cool song i really don't know why i like it so much. I kinda like the way the words blend into the music so you can only just make out the words. It's really nice and gentle. They cut off a tiny bit of the song but it doesn't really matter that much. You get the general idea. The Bravia advert at the moment is the one when all the paint balls explode all over the bulidings. It's real just like this one (i think). All the bouncey balls were real too there is the making of on youtube. I know a girl who has some of the balls teehee. Tres cool. Anyways im prob talking rubbish so ... see ya! enjoy the song.
