This is actually the first time I saw Maeno Tomoaki singing live in a recording(not Utapri concert or Seiyuu event). He improved so much. He always will be my favorite male JP seiyuu of all time. I really love how rough his voice as if its singing from a heart that have gone through things in life.
I often think how when they were designing Genshin characters, some staff recommended Tomoaki Maeno for Zhongli, and then when the characters were revealed, fans commented Zhongli looks like a character who should be voiced by Maeno and being like "omg it really is Maeno". And how much Maeno likes Zhongli and the game, I think it's so sweet how perfectly it went.
YALLL THEY JUST PUT OUT A NEW TRAILER FOR PERSONA TACTICA AND
youtube
Ok so I heard it and I immediately thought, oh that's Hiro's voice actor. And then I followed it up with like, no I just am hearing him everywhere that's really weird of me. I must be watching too much kop. Well turns out it IS HIRO'S VOICE ACTOR. AHHHHHHHH
I don't play games like this in Japanese but uhhhh I might for Hiro 🥺
