An An Magazine N°2394 (17/04/2024) : Interview with Miyamura Yūko (Kazuha's VA) & Horikawa Ryō (Heiji's VA)

General & Movie 27 (The Million-dollar Pentagram)

[宮村優子 Miyamura Yūko as 遠山 和葉 Tōyama Kazuha]

M.Y : Please, propose to me as soon as possible (laughs).

Can you tell us what you like about Toyama Kazuha ?

Kazuha-chan is a calm and peaceful character who almost never gets involved in incidents or crimes, unlike Heiji. She’s genuinely sweet and cheerful and her love for Heiji is sincere and deep. She’s so fixated on him that she doesn’t realize when other men are interested in her. I think she’s quite popular, though...

Kazuha is a character who speaks Kansai dialect, is Miyamura-san also from Kansai ?

I myself am from Kobe, so i can speak the Kobe dialect, but Kazuha-chan is from Neyagawa in Osaka, and speaks Kansai dialect. Actually, there are various types of Kansai dialect and the one she speaks is a very strong, somewhat classical version of it. I used to hear it a lot when i was a child. I think it's probably the Kansai dialect that my father's generation spoke, and that’s what i have in mind when portraying her.

How do you see the relationship between Heiji and Kazuha ? 

When will these two realize that they have mutual feelings for each other ? (laughs). I really don’t mind about finding a nice romantic setting for their confession... I just want them to confess as soon as possible. I hope they both jump straight to a proposal! (laughs). And honestly, Kazuha-chan seems to be giving off a bit of a resigned vibe lately...

When you heard that Kazuha will appear as a main character in this movie, how did you feel ?

I'm really hoping for some progress in their romance, so please make it happen! (laughs).

What do you like about Heiji ?

First of all, his sparkling eyes when he solves mysteries! Then, how cool he looks when he’s riding his bike. It’s also adorable to see that despite his abilities, he becomes clumsy in the presence of the girl he likes. Heiji also gives us the impression that he comes from a good family. My favorite moment between Heiji and Kazuha is when they are on the bike together, and Heiji says, 'If you let go, I’ll kill you! To me, that felt like a proposal on the level of ‘stay with me forever’.

What advice would you give to the two of them, who aren’t making much progress, as someone with more life experience like you ?

Well... to begin with, I think Heiji should hurry and go greet Kazuha's parents with a greeting like : I’d like to take care of your daughter.

By the way, there’s an episode where Kazuha carries a matching charm with Heiji. Do you have something similar that you carry around, like a charm ? 

I don’t have a charm, but i maintain my peace of mind by looking at pictures of my pet dog on my smartphone. (laughs).

Do you have any thoughts on the relationship between Kazuha and Ran ?

When there is progress in the relationship between Shinichi and Ran in the original work (manga), i'm as happy as if it were my own. Even during the recording sessions the scenes where they support each other's love are really fun and cute. I think there’s something only Kazuha and Ran can understand, like the ‘struggles of falling in love with a detective’. But at the same time, i also wish for Ai Haibara’s happiness. So, i want Dr. Agasa to develop cloning technology that can create multiple Shinichis (laughs). Also, there aren’t enough Conans compared to the crime rate! So i hope they increase the number of Conans as well. If it’s Dr. Agasa, he should definitely be able to do it!

Do you have any memorable moments from the recording sessions of this movie that you’d like to share ? 

Minami Takayama, who voices Conan, is always amazing, and this time was no different, she was incredible as ever. I even took notes, listing what exactly made her performance so impressive. It was just astonishing...

Each character in Conan is very popular. Do you hear such feedback from fans ?

Of course! As a fan myself, i watch the show with my Conan fan friends all the time. Every character is charming, and the story is interesting no matter where you dive in. Sometimes, there are occasional small plot elements, so i can't take my eyes off it from start to finish. Personally, i really enjoy the scenes where Kogoro looks competent, and even though Gin and Vodka don’t appear in this movie, their buddy dynamic is something that i love. Oh, and i was really moved by the relationship between Inspector Nakamori and Kid.

Finally, can you please share the highlights of this year's movie to our readers ?

This time, the culprit and the mystery-solving aspects are very intriguing, but there’s also... Kid’s secret!!! Look forward to it!

[堀川 りょう Horikawa Ryō as 服部 平次 Hattori Heiji]

H.R : I believe there's a certain appeal in things that are not easily achieved (laughs).

Can you tell us what you like about Hattori Heiji ?

First of all, he doesn't back down. Heiji gets really annoyed with people who give in and say things like "it doesent matter." That kind of passion is very much like him, and i like that. By the way, although he is the greatest detective in the West, he becomes a complete failure when it comes to Kazuha-chan. She is his weakness. That’s definitely where to hit him!

Heiji is a character who speaks in Kansai dialect. Horikawa-san is from Kansai, isn't he ?

You know, while portraying Heiji, i sometimes think, ‘nobody talks like that in Kansai these days!’ (laughs). Expressions like 'seyakate,' 'souden ga na,' and 'chaiman ga na' you wouldn’t hear them even if you crossed the street in Kansai these days (laughs). As a high school student, what era is Heiji even from? But well, since it’s fiction, i understand the desire to exaggerate a bit. This time, the story takes place in Hakodate, and the Hokkaido dialect 'waya' is used.

When you heard that Heiji would appear as a main character in this movie, how did you feel ? 

Here we go again! (laughs). I was really excited. Especially because there wasn’t any talk about him being a main character next year. About a year ago, i got a call saying, ‘sorry, we need to record a preview for next year’, and i thought, ‘wait, does that mean... next year?’ ‘Yes, that's right.’ That’s how i found out. I was really happy.

How do you see the relationship between Heiji and Kazuha ?

In the previous movie, ‘The Crimson Love Letter’, Heiji said to Kazuha, 'If you let go... I’ll kill you.' To me, that’s basically a confession. It’s almost equivalent to saying, ‘i love you’, so i think his feelings have been conveyed... But i wonder if they’ve actually reached her. It doesn’t seem like it, does it? (laughs).

What do you like about Kazuha ? 

She often scolds Heiji with some harsh words, but from my perspective, they are just messing around like a married couple's quarrel. I’m always like, ‘oh, they’re at it again’. But actually, i don't mind being scolded like that, as does Heiji. During the recording sessions, i often think, ‘she’s so cute’. Honestly, i wouldn’t mind if she scolded him a bit more… (laughs).

What advice would you give to the two of them, who aren’t making much progress, as someone with more life experience like you ?

I think their feelings have already been conveyed, so isn’t that enough ? (laughs). Of course, i’d love for them to finally get together, but that slow progress seems so typical of Heiji and Kazuha, don’t you think? (laughs).

Do you have any memorable moments from the recording sessions of this movie that you’d like to share ?

There’s a scene where my character has to fight an opponent in an unbelievable location, something that could only happen in an anime. It’s a completely unrealistic situation, but the characters are fighting with all their might. So, as voice actors, we have to give the same level of effort to make it work. That particular scene left me really exhausted during the recording sessions. But that’s exactly what made it so entertaining. Being able to immerse yourself in the role to the point where it feels like you’re stepping into the picture is one of the best parts of this job. The feeling of accomplishment and the exhaustion afterward were incredibly satisfying.

Each character in Conan is very popular. Do you hear such feedback from fans ? 

Yes… but it’s a bit embarrassing (laughs). Well, there’s no denying that all the characters are really cool. But if people feel that the appeal comes not just from the way they look, but also from the acting, i think it’s because all the actors aren’t trying to ‘be cool’. We’re just giving it our all. I truly believe that fully committing to the role is what makes it come off as cool.

Finally, can you please share the highlights of this year's movie to our readers ?

When it comes to Heiji, it's not only about his feelings for Kazuha but also his dedication to pursuing the truth. I hope the readers can truly appreciate this admirable aspect of his character. There’s plenty of entertainment too, such as Conan-kun’s skateboard sequences, but also more profound emotions and nuances of life that adults will relate to, alongside the action and mystery-solving. This film is packed with so many elements that i recommend watching it at least three times (laughs). You really can’t catch everything in one viewing. Personally, i watch any movie at least three times!

Note : The translation may not be the best word-for-word, but i did my best to make it coherent.

[bolashikaino]

I just found in Indonesian I guess ?? The chapter of the volume 20 of détective Conan special ! The case with Heiji and kazuha sub diving

Couldn’t find an English version :(((

1/2

[bolashikaino]

[bolashikaino]

one piece and detective conan bonding over being shows with preposterous numbers of episodes

(not enough tbh)

[bolashikaino]

Un pequeño avance de una animación que quisiera subir por temática del cumple de Shikamaru e Ino. Quizás me pase de la fecha XD pero buenoo. Ojalá les guste

[bolashikaino]

[bolashikaino]

Love me a possessive protective boy

shika’s confession to ino <33 found it when i was reading through forums. it’s really shika’s voice you know >:) the uploader said that it’s from naruto radio.

the translation:

Shikamaru: Idiot ! I’m not softhearted enough to dedicate everyday of my life to a childhood friend. Ino: Huh ? Shikamaru: Well … Probably … It’s just I’d rather just date the girl I love. And if in ten years I’m not bored of it, then … Would you want a dull guy like me ?

[bolashikaino]

Very Zoro and Nami coded, if you ask me.

[bolashikaino]

I am so, so lucky to have these two beautiful people playing two of my favorite characters of all time. Mackenyu and Emily were true fans of the story before they were casted and you really can tell when you watch their interviews and you hear them talk about not just their own characters, but others as well.

[bolashikaino]

Someone please explain this to me.

the "so you still do say 'eep' " thing

[bolashikaino]

soooooo…….. i’m just sitting at my classes and all i can think about is how every time ino has a bad day shikamaru sighs goes to shop and buys ice cream then goes home and watch with her some stupid rom-coms that she love just to cheer her up

or in other times shikamaru makes ino get dressed in the most beautiful dress she has and he makes a gorgeous date with flowers, walk in the park and dinner with candles just so ino could feel beautiful needy lovable and adorable in every single way

or you know shikamaru just grubs ino and walk her to the mall where he buys every foocking dress, shoes or t-shirt that she wants and they spend there like hours but shika is patient and understandable because he hates to see sad ino more than anything else in this whole world

so in general i just think shika has a lot of ways to cheer ino up

[bolashikaino]

i made this shikaino edit with the audio of shikamaru's confession to ino a while back! it was originally on my twitter account but i deactivated it so i thought i could share it with you guys here instead 💕

[bolashikaino]

💚🧡

[bolashikaino]

i’m so into shikaino shit i can’t even explain. it’s like my whole body ships them

[bolashikaino]

Oh my, thank you kindly for asking, Sanji who I use as a stand-in for other One Piece fans.

But let’s be serious for a moment because there are many reasons as to why someone might ship Mommy and Daddy Strawhat. And I want to give you here some clues because no one ships them just because “they once stood beside each other in a panel”.

This will be a long post with many pictures and a video and I hope I’ll make sense. Please feel free to talk to me about this ship and to even challenge me on my points (if you want to). I’ll try to show “proof” as well as try to to debunk Anti-Frobin points.

(1.) When does someone start to ship Franky and Robin? (2.)  But why is Enies Lobby still so important for us shipper? (3.) Thank you Oda! (4.) “There are so many reasons to not  ship Franky and Robin!“    (4.1.) Franky is too ugly for Robin    (4.2.) Franky is too childish for Robin    (4.3.) Robin hates Franky       (4.3.1) Why is Robin only annoyed by Franky? (5.) Further links

Now, let’s start behind the read more! (links are marked with an additional *)

The Boku No Hero Academia Season 3 Vol. 4 DVD comes with a drama CD track where All Might and Aizawa go drinking together, only to be interrupted by Present Mic and Midnight and hilarity ensues. Here’s my translation of the track! Enjoy~ **Note: In case the audio doesn’t work, here’s another link.

All Might: Good work out there, Aizawa-kun!

Aizawa: Same to you, All Might.

All Might: Haha, well then, let’s cheers!

Aizawa: Cheers? For what?

All Might: Hmm, how about for a successful meeting with all the different families?

Aizawa: I guess. It was rather good news to hear that all students’ parents agreed to allowing them to enter the dormitories.

All Might: To the new homes for the kids!

Aizawa: To the mentality of the teachers who will need to monitor these kids all the time now.

All Might & Aizawa: Cheers!

All Might (to himself): All right- this is a good mood! I’m going to be even better friends with Aizawa-kun after this dinner outing today! All Might, you gotta push past the walls of Aizawa-kun’s heart! GO BEYOND, PLUS ULTRA!!

Present Mic: HEYY!! CLASS A TEACHERS!! MC MIC IS IN THE HOUSE, CRASHING YOUR SECRET DINNER OUTING!

All Might (to himself): Or on second thought…probably not then.

Present Mic: What’s with that face, Eraser? If you’re gonna go drink, at least let me know, yo! This bad water is foul, man!

Aizawa: Go home!

Present Mic: Woah, that was SO COOL! Kinda a stiff reaction though. Anyway, I’m kinda thirsty, so imma drink your beer. *gulp* OHH YEAHH! DRINKING A BEER AFTER WORK REALLY MAKES ME GO TO HEAVEN!!!!!

Aizawa: GO HOME!

All Might: Haha, so by showing up here out of the blue, I’m guessing you come here often to drink?

Present Mic: Well I try to invite Eraser to come but he always rejects me, what kind of idiot does that?

Aizawa: Heh, you mean the type who literally asks me every day?

Present Mic: Man, your follow up is so bad, my friend. Makes things awkward, yo!

Aizawa: If that’s so then GO HOME.

*door opens*

Midnight: Good evening. Oh what? All Might, Eraser, and Mic are here?

All Might: Oh, Midnight-kun!

Present Mic: Hey there young lady! You joined in at a good time! Come over here and drink with us! GO TO HEAVEN!!!

Aizawa: You’re the one who came after us, don’t just take charge.

—

Aizawa: Midnight, here’s another round of your tequila.

Midnight: Thanks! *gulp* AHAA!!

All Might: You’re quite strong with alcohol.

Midnight: Yeah, I don’t feel like drinking until my stomach gets warm from the alcohol.

Present Mic: AS EXPECTED OF U.A.’S QUEEN TANK! It would be awesome if the alcohol really doesn’t affect you!

Midnight: Mic, if you’re going to be using weird slang to refer to me, I’m going to pour all this tequila on you.

Aizawa: Do it.

Present Mic: Hey my friend, that’s not very friendly of you to say! After all, I was the one who gave you the hero name Eraserhead! I came up with such a cool hero name, too!

Aizawa: Well if that’s so then I should have just changed my name.

Present Mic: To “Small Energy Sho-chan?”

Aizawa: Shut up!

Midnight: Mic, the tequila?

Present Mic: AGAIN!?

All Might: Midnight-kun, perhaps you should drink in moderation…

Midnight: What are you saying, All Might? I’m not even drunk at all! Mic, the tequila!! What are you waiting for?

Present Mic: Ah yes! Here you go!

—

Midnight: *drunk giggling* All Might, try drinking this!

All Might: Oh uh��I don’t really…drink much…you see…

Midnight: *laughs* Okay fine, Eraser drink this.

Aizawa: Uh, what is this?

Midnight: It’s my original concoction! A cocktail made of cocktails!

Aizawa: Why on earth would you do that?

Midnight: That’s because normal alcohol is boring! Alcohol is the same as life- an adventure with experiences you must repeat lest you get rusty! You agree with me, right Mic?

Present Mic: Wha- uhh…somewhat?

Midnight: Exactly, so that’s why you gotta drink up, Eraser! Experience something new!

Aizawa: Nope.

Midnight: You’re such a boring guy! You must be boring in bed, too!

Aizawa: I sleep in a sleeping bag.

Present Mic: *whispering* All Might, this is Midnight’s drunken state. She always makes disgusting cocktails and forces people to drink them.

All Might: I…I see. That’s terrifying.

Midnight: MIC!

Present Mic: WHAT?!

Midnight: DRINK UP! DRINK THIS COCKTAIL I MADE!

Present Mic: Ughh no thank you! That cocktail has all the worst ingredients mixed in that with a suspicious dark color, a color that says DO NOT DRINK ME!

Midnight: IT’S SAYING NOTHING OF THAT SORT! JUST DRINK IT!

Present Mic: *gulps* UGHH!!

Midnight: AHAHA! Hey Mic, tell us how was the taste?

Present: Goo…

Midnight: Goo…d?

Present Mic: Bye…*faints*

Midnight: AHAHAHA! It was so good he fainted!

Aizawa: More like definitely die.

All Might: Well then, I’ll take my leave now. Don’t want to drink too much…

Midnight: Okay! Hey Mic, All Might’s leaving now!

Present Mic: Augughhghg!!

All Might: Yeah, definitely don’t want to drink too much…

—

*running* Aizawa: All Might!

All Might: Oh, is something wrong, Aizawa-kun?

Aizawa: Uh, thank you very much.

All Might: Eh?

Aizawa: I’m uh…drunk right now so…well. I probably wouldn’t say this if I wasn’t drunk, but…I’ll say it anyway. Because you fought for us at Kamino Ward, because you defeated All For One for us, I will do my part and look after the students as much as I can.

All Might: Aizawa-kun…

Aizawa: That’s why I want to thank you for everything.

All Might: Aizawa-kun, let’s watch over the students from here on out together.

Aizawa: Anyway, when I sober up, I’ll probably forget everything I said while drunk, NEVER MENTION WHAT I JUST SAID!

All Might: Ah…sure…

Aizawa: I’m counting on you. See ya.

All Might: A drunk Aizawa-kun is a “deretsun**?” **T/N: The deretsun line is funny because a deretsun is the opposite of a tsundere, where they act nice and cute to others but then very cold when alone with someone. I think All Might mixed this word up, which could be intentional to show he’s “not with the times” lol
