BSD Interviews Masterlist

A new masterlist by yours truly. There's so many interviews out there that I wouldn't dare to aspire to include them all; but since I've been stumbling across a lot of Asagiri interviews after they attended Anime Expo this year, I wanted to at least have one place where I can keep track of the ones I see. If you know any interview I failed to include, please let me know!!

The dates reported here refer to the date the interview was published, and not when it was taken; even then, please take them with a grain of salt. Some rows feature multiple links to dislocated translations of the same interview, so be sure to hover over all the text so you don't miss any piece. Finally, sorry if the list results a little bulky at times, I couldn't seem to come up with a better way to format it.

HIROFUMI ARAKI as Rio Juken Sentai Gekiranger: Nei-Nei! Hou-Hou! Hong Kong Decisive Battle (2007)

[aoyama-division]

Hypnosis Mic -D.R.B.- Rule the Stage (Jet Set Trio vs. Matenro)

Sypnosis:

After progressing through the qualifying rounds and being accepted as the ones who will represent Aoyama Division in the D.R.B., the Jet Set Trio practices day in and out as they eagerly, yet patiently wait to find out who their opponents will be in the first round.

On one of the days when the group takes a break from practice, Tomi Chōten, leader of Jet Set Trio, receives word from his mother about trouble brewing in Aoyama. Apparently, someone is buying up all of the major businesses in the city. Normally, that would be no cause for alarm, but all of them are businesses that the Chōtens have either purchased stocks in or are partners with. As a result, the family's finances have dwindled. Tomi is put in charge of finding out who is behind this, and getting them to stop it, which he accepts. He tells his teammates, Karada Kessaku and Luis Kōkyū to keep their ears to the ground and report back if they hear anything.

Meanwhile, Luis, who is taking a smoke break from work in his restaurant, comes into contact with Hifumi Izanami, a member of the Shinjuku Division rap team, Matenro. The two speak for a while until Luis asks Hifumi if he knows anything about the individual who is buying up parts of Aoyama. Hifumi states he doesn't know anything and almost seems afraid to speak about it. When Luis asks again, the host's response is the same and he quickly bids farewell, leaving the chef puzzled and suspicious.

Later on in the day, Luis contacts his friend, Rashaad Young of the Okinawa Division, and asks if he could find out information on who it is that's buying up parts of Aoyama. Rashaad states that he can ask around, though it'll take some time. A few days pass before Rashaad informs Luis that the only thing he was able to find out was that the person was affiliated with Chuohku. Luis relays the information to Tomi; both he and his mother are incensed by this news, not surprisingly. While his mother tries to gain more information from inside the government, Tomi and the JST head to Shinjuku to get Hifumi, who they suspect may know something about this individual, to talk.

Arriving in Shinjuku, the three men make their way to Hifumi's place of work, the "Fragrance" Host Club. Upon arriving, Luis, once more, tries to get the host to tell him and his friends about this individual from Chuohku. Luis tells him that there is no use lying, as Hifumi obviously knows something about this person just from his behavior, which says that he must fear them for some reason. Before Hifumi can spill the beans, he is saved by his teammates, Jakurai Jinguji and Doppo Kannonzaka.

Although Luis tries to keep the situation from escalating, Tomi, who is at his wit's end, is done relying on diplomacy and decides to force Hifumi and the rest of Matenro to talk. A rap battle between the two teams ensues, leaving them both exhausted and the host club in need of repairs. The JST decide to retreat for today. As they do, Hifumi feels a familiar chill in the air that frightens him.

News of the conflict makes its way to Chuohku, and as a result, it is now announced that Matenro will face the Jet Set Trio in the next battle of the D.R.B. As both teams prepare, they are unaware of a sly and manipulative woman who is gleefully enjoying the spectacle from the shadows. Will the Aoyama team be able to defeat the Shinjuku team and get the answers they seek? Or will Matenro show the JST just why they were the former champions?

The entire snowy forest confrontation scene is incredible. Love how much these two pop against the background and also how they filmed this in a shoot snowy forest. Hirofumi Araki must've been freezing his slutty exposed pits off

[haljathefangirlcat]

hi hello, dropping in to share some tenipuri fun facts i have accumulated over the past few months :D

-junichi suwabe has sung koori no emperor as atobe

-he also sang one of his character songs with kato kazuki (sort of lol)

-you might already be aware of this one, but there are currently 5 tenimyu alumni who voice characters in the anime: hirofumi araki (seigaku 3rd inui) voices zaizen, mamoru miyano (ishida 1st) voices ryoga, hiroki aiba (seigaku 3rd fuji) voices irie, kei hosogai (hyotei B hiyoshi) voices kimijima, and ryosuke kato (rokkaku 1st kisarazu) voices tenjin in shinteni! aiba also played his character in shintenimyu

Aaahh, thank you for sharing all of this!!! Somehow I knew about that Koori no Emperor version but NOT about the other song! That's amazing. :D

I also only knew about Aiba voicing Irie but completely missed everyone else, lol. It's always so fun when different versions of Tenipuri cross into each other!

Ochanomizu Rock The Live Stage (sub)

Here's another project I started very long ago and finally finished up. I do suggest watching the drama series, which has been subbed before (not by me) so I'm sure you can find it somewhere. I love Ocharock so much QAQ Ocharock (hardsub) Feel free to buy me a coffee if you like my work!

[maestrozaverick]

I watched the Mononoke stage play yesterday and finished it this morning and I loved it from start to finish!

Hirofumi Araki was perfect as the Medicine Seller

[sushishouta]

stray dogs

Or i guess in this case, foxes? 🦊

Its cool how Dazai and Ango have the white masks covering the eyes and they gave Oda the dark one that covers the mouth though. Wonder of it has any meaning in the mythology or its simply aesthetics. 🤔
