"ONE PIECE" Furuya Toru's successor, Irino Miyu, receives rave reviews! What's the background to this casting?

Episode 1116 of the popular TV anime "ONE PIECE" (Fuji TV), "Let's Go Get It! Buggy's Big Declaration," aired on August 18th, and featured the popular character Sabo, played by Irino Miyu, who replaced voice actor Furuya Toru. Irino's casting has been met with positive reactions from not only viewers but also industry insiders.

Voice actor Toru Furuya leaves "One Piece" and "Detective Conan" after adultery scandal

"ONE PIECE" began airing in October 1999, based on the manga of the same name by Eiichiro Oda (Shueisha). It is a maritime adventure romance in which Monkey D. Luffy, a boy who dreams of becoming the King of Pirates, and his "Straw Hat Pirates" sail the seas in search of the "One Piece" treasure. Sabo is one of the protagonist Luffy's stepbrothers, and is a kind-hearted character.

(Here, the article goes into more details of Furuya's scandal, which I don't want to include here, in my blog. Ppl curious about it, can easily google it.)

"On June 22nd, (Furuya Toru's) agency, Aoni Production, announced on its website that Furuya will be stepping down from his role as Sabo and his role as Amuro in the anime series Detective Conan (NTV). After much discussion with Furuya, the agency stated that 'the conclusion was that he had directly and significantly damaged the image of the series and the character'', and that 'we have asked him to step down, and he has accepted.'" (entertainment writer)

"ONE PIECE" - Irino Miyu to replace Furuya Toru! Insiders praise him, saying "We should have used him from the beginning"

Then, on August 16th, the official One Piece X post revealed that Irino would be voicing Sabo in episode 1116, "Let's Go Get It! Buggy's Big Declaration," which will air on the 18th. Irino is known as a talented voice actor, having played the role of Haku in the Ghibli film Spirited Away (2001) and the role of Matsuno Todomatsu in the popular anime series Osomatsu-san (TV Tokyo).

Some people on the Internet have commented that they are sad because they loved Furuya-san's voice and gentle acting, but those who actually watched the episode aired on the 18th have responded favorably, saying, "Irino Miyu's interpretation of Sabo is perfect," "His voice has the vibe of a pleasant, young man, which matches Sabo's appearance," and "It wasn't as weird as I thought it would be, so I think I'll get used to it quickly."

Industry insiders also praised Irino, saying, "It's such a good casting that you feel like they should have used Irino from the beginning."

"Irino, who started out as a child actor and is now 36 years old, has always been highly regarded for his acting. He is able to use the skills he has cultivated to perform as an 'actor', not just with his voice, but also by getting into the role with his heart. He moved to his current agency, Junction, in April 2006 because he wanted to do stage work, but he is also a very accomplished voice actor, and is someone who takes all of his jobs seriously and excels in them," said a production company source.

Is the casting of Irino Miyu in "ONE PIECE" a "purification" for Aoni Production?

In addition, the relationship between the production companies Toei and Aoni Productions, to which Furuya belongs, is strong for "One Piece," and "Aoni has the casting rights" (aforementioned source). However, Irino, who was cast this time, is from a different agency.

"For Aoni, letting go of the role of Sabo was probably a form of atonement. Toei also considered which actor would be acceptable to many viewers and not cause complaints, and chose Irino, who is sufficiently skilled and from another agency. Junction, the agency he belongs to, is not a voice actor agency, so there is no sense of strange connections". (aforementioned source)

Irino is highly regarded not only by anime viewers but also within the industry. We hope that he will continue to cherish the role of Sabo in the future.

Short Animation "Hitori (Alone)"

A female student who keeps everything to herself. She struggles alone in her room, troubled by her worries.

When she reached a dead end, what she needed then was the sound of a bell, ringing a few times.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The loss of a close friend was the reason for the creation of this work.

If I had talked to her, would it have changed something? Was there something I could have done? The remorse I felt prompted me to create this work.

I wanted her to have a tomorrow.

KAmiYU 3rd single Making of - Miyu plays the trumpet

Really! Miyu is full of suprises! Is there anything he can't do?!

[datenshi-luci]

Yoasobi: Getting Shimono-san to win the first place in Mario Kart

"Shimono-san, don't worry. You will win first place for sure!"

P1: Shimono-san P2: Miyu P3: D Masuda P4: AD Ebato

Miyu, the director and assistant director are assisting Shimono-san to win (since it's "spoiling Shimono-san" day).

When Miyu's playing a game, his reactions are always so entertaining. Miyu, who usually hates losing, gets pumped up the same here for Shimono-san to win lol.😁 It's so funny how he's constantly looking for Shimono-san, scolds even the director when he gets in the way of Shimono-san, or when he gets excited to be in 1st place at one point, but remembers that he's supposed to assist Shimono-san.😂

Yoasobi: Kobayashi Chiaki wants to borrow Irino Miyu's pants

His reasoning for it though...🤣 Not that I don't get it though lo

Yoasobi - Cheers! Happy Birthday, Shimono-san!

I didn't know that having alcohol intolerance means that a small amount would knock you out immediately. I somehow imagined that you'd have some kind of allergic reaction ahaha (well, I don't drink myself, but it's bc I don't like the taste😅). Poor Miyu! He really tried to keep up with his senpai when he drank for the first time.

Which reminds me of a short promo video message for a stage play (probably 2015's Van Gogh), where he said that he would like to go with the others to the after party and have a late night drink together (quite typical in Japan, you'd often encounter men passing out in trains and on the streets...), but he'd be no fun because he would only have soft drink then.

[datenshi-luci]

Shimono-san has a weakness for specs, so Miyu, the staff and even the profile pics had them on.😆

This episode was about spoiling Shimono-san, and Miyu was in charge of it and planned everyting. Getting spoiled by Miyu is scary haha! He wouldn't let Shimono-san walk, or even eat cake by himself.😂

Things Sora (Kingdom Hearts) and Irino Miyu have in common

His birthday special on YT gave me the idea to make this.😁

They both love heights

Miyu also mentioned in a radio show (can't remember which one), that as a kid, he used to climb on top of walls or go to the roof to play.

Both make friends with almost anyone and anywhere

And Shimono-san just pointed out in last week's Tuessday Yoasobi, that one of Miyu's traits is his openhearted, frank attitude and he also said Miyu basically gets along with everyone.

And of course, who could forget Kamiyan pointing out Miyu's ability to make ppl like him (and forgive him even when he's fooling around 😆).

(Full subbed video here)

Both have a good temper and always try to look at things from a positive angle

Childhood friends like Ryohei-kun and Ucchi mentioned in Kimi to Boku Event 2011 that Miyu's got a good temper and they never once saw him getting angry.

Miyu always tries to find joy, even in difficult times. For example, he mentioned in several interviews after the COVID lockdown, that it was a difficult period for him, but he also said that it was still a productive one as he took the chance to read more (english books) and try out things he always wanted to. Like, writing music. He bought some equipments and tried at composing music, and so "April" (for his single Cheers) was born. He also said that it made him appreciate even more every project and work he gets.

Both have a sunny personality

(Snipet from here)

Many ppl around Miyu have mentioned his bright personality and said that he's the mood maker in the recording studio (Murase Ayumu, Ishikawa Kaito, Suzu, Ososan script writer Shun-san etc). And Kamiyan said that it's always fun when Miyu's around.

In the recent 'Fun More Tune' episode promoting KAmiYU's Mellow x Mellow, Yasumoto-san, who obviously has watched the making of, said that Kamiyan looked like he had lots of fun and "as for Miyu, he always looks like he's enjoying himself".

According to Nomura-sensei, Miyu gave him the idea to create Vanitas, so that he finally gets to voice a baddie. Ofc, Nomura-sensei probably already had that idea somewhere in his head, and he certainly created Sora completely on his own, but it would be still quite fun to imagine that he took some inspirations from Miyu too when he wrote Sora.😁

Abema TV "Seiyuu to Yoasobi" Tuesday - First episode (April 15th 2025)

It's funny how Miyu often drinks like it was alcoholic beverage. Even though he has alcohol intolerance. Or maybe it's exactly bc of that. 😆 (Miyu, it's fine that you have alcohol intolerance, you don't miss out on anything.)

Haah... they are so cute!🥰 This pairing was unexpected but very refreshing!

I honestly half expected Miyu to be paired with Namikawa Daisuke, ever since they showed his silhouette, making ppl guess and become excited over the possibility that Miyu could be one of the new MCs. Miyu usually doesn't do this kind of program, so it was really a big surprise. Even Ono Kensho-san said in today's episode, that he was surprised about it.

Anyway, just so happy and excited for the ONE FULL YEAR OF MIYU MCING IN A LIVESTREAM PROGRAM!!!😭❤️️ And him and Shimono-san hit off so well!! I wished I could have watched the Grendizer event that they both attended last year!

KAmiYU TBS Special: Creating their 3rd single

Tomorrow, their 3rd single will be released and it will contain 4 songs. In their TBS special, they talked about the themes and thoughts behind the creation of each song.

Mellow x Mellow

Miyu: "At one point, we were seriously thinking about disbanding KAmiYU. But we felt that it would be sad and a pity to do so."

Because Miyu was about to leave Kiramune, there were discussions about what to do with their unit. Eventually they decided to continue KAmiYU, and "Mellow x Mellow" was created to convey that message.

シースーゲーム　("Sushi Game")

Miyu: "For this single, we did things differently than before."

Kamiyan: "Yes, we looked back and assigned a theme to each song."

Miyu: "And this song was the first one that we made and we wanted it to be based on a specific thing related to KAmiYU. When we first met, we went to have Sushi together. And recently, Kamiya-san treated me to Sushi again."

Kamiyan: "Yes, because you graduated from Kiramune. I made a reservation in a restaurant that is usually always booked out."

(In one of last years Radio Base episode that Miyu hosted bc Suzu was sick during that time, he talked about how he was randomly mentioning in his phone call with Kamiyan that he was craving for Sushi atm, and Kamiyan promptly proposed to have dinner together. And Kamiyan talked about it in his recent live concert too. On that day, he was attending a concert of a senpai, but realized that he would be late for the Sushi dinner, for which he made a reservation at 8PM. So he sneaked out of the concert and went to have dinner with Miyu. But because he felt bad about his early leave from the concert, he bought a ticket for another venue and attended it. This is just too wholesome on so many levels! 🥹)

Home

Kamiyan: "It's a song we can sing together with the audience."

Miyu: "I thought more casual lines in the lyrics would reflect better the frank relationship of KAmiYU."

Miyu had specific ideas for that song in mind and he chose two candidates of songs, with Kamiyan making the final decision. And Miyu revised the lyrics and made suggestions to make it fit more the KAmiYU vibe.

Kiss me yet?

Miyu: "To put it simply, it's a sparkling song."

Kamiyan: "There's a theme for each song: シースーゲーム is a fun song, while home is a group song, and lastly, there's the idol song Kiss me Yet?"

Miyu: " Back then, we were very clumsly and felt embarassed, because we didn't join Kiramune to become idols. As we get older, it's getting more difficult to sing this kind of cute songs too."

Kamiyan: "We thought, with experience, we could do it, but we are far from what we imagined it would be. (laughs)"

KAmiYU is a fun place for everyone

Miyu: "We don't know how long we can continue (as KAmiYU), but as we continue this, we will create more memories together. And I'm happy to be able to look back to those memories in occasions like this."

Kamiyan: "I'm really happy that there's a place that I can share with Miyu."

Kamiyan: "KAmiYU is not just for us. And we soon have Wonderland 5, which is a place where everyone who loves and enjoys KAmiYU can gather together. There's nothing more joyous than to create a place for someone."

KAmiYU TBS Special: Talk part (not included in the offical TBS program)

Listening to them talk more seriously about how they decided to continue the unit and their thoughts and feelings of where to go from now, and why they would continue, what "KAmiYU" means to them, is really heartwarming.🥹 I never want to miss their dynamic as KAmiYU! And as Miyu said, they may still meet and see each other in other events and in the recording studio, but it's not the same like the space they have created together as KAmiYU.
