[Video translation + Facts revealed about Enojun under the cut!]
Event Name: Talking Stand Morinoth (Morikubo and Amasaki's talk show)
Rough Translation: { Key: E = Enojun, M = Morikubo, A = Amasaki }
E: When do you feel happiest or when you have the most fun? M: You’re asking us (as the guest)? On the other hand, what about you? When do you feel the most fun, other than when you’re working? E: What time's the most fun… I wonder what it is…Well, somewhat… M: You don’t drink alcohol either do you? E: Well, I have the most fun when I’m sleeping maybe. M, A: When you’re sleeping?! E: Like a (refreshing) 15-minute nap, something like that– Ah, but I’m not conscious at that time. A: Is that really "fun"? E: Ahh that’s not really “fun” is it… Ah but–I’m not a huge movie buff–but I do enjoy going to the cinema alone. You can momentarily forget about everything while you’re in there.
Revealed Facts:
Enojun's Personal interests:
- is into movies like "Back to the Future", "Drive My Car"; and director Yasujiro Ozu’s works - loves ramen, but is worried about calories (in Yuuma's radio show he brings up his worries about becoming fatter with age too) - doesn’t drink alcohol - wanted to be a basketball athlete as a kid - likes teaching children, would read manga and watch shows for children to learn from them - [when teased, Enojun: "I'm not a lolicon!"] - studied to be a teacher for children in university; but pursued a path in the entertainment industry during his second year - would love to have kids eventually, but also values his alone time [Morikubo: “Choose one side already!] - loves theatre and acting till now (prefers acting in smaller and more compact theatres) - doesn’t care much about earning lots of money; more focused on life fulfilment
2. In his youth:
- was in Kendo and Baseball clubs - used to collect Yugi-Oh cards in primary school (gave them all away now to children who were interested) - parents used to tease that his older brother is the good child, so Enojun must be the "bad kid"
3. As a voice actor:
- told his parents he would become seiyuu in 3 years (made it just in time with a regular role in Beyblade) - originally planned to be an actor, but felt that he won't measure up physically (being a seiyuu was a much more possible option to him) - used to practice lines from manga during his free time at the convenience store he was part-timing at (and felt embarrassed by it) - likes the challenge of trying to nail a role (esp at the start when everything is uncertain, and there's potential for everything) - interested in pursuing a career in cinema, but not right now - praised by Morikubo as being "true neutral" -- he is able to adapt to anything/any side with ease - has thought about quitting as a seiyuu before; if it becomes a "boring" job - would become an Explorer/Adventurer if he quits -- Amasaki & Morikubo fully support this venture - The three of them now have plans to go camping + the director teased for them to release an "Adventure DVD" [ngl I'd watch that]
