Ask Aoi Shouta (From Seiyuu MEN Volume 15) - Interview (Q&A)Last Part

[sakunohappiness]

Arigatou, Soshite, Korekara mo - (Aoi Shouta Official Blog - 2018/11/06/ Eng. Translation)

From Shouta's blog: First, he thanked everyone. It was a very hot two-day live. For him, for quartet night. And asked everyone also.

It was their 2nd live, and he feels letting them stand on the stage once again (as quartet night only) is a challenge.

The first live served as their first solo stage as quartet night, Tattsun's revenge (from 5th stage since he got injured), and also they got a Golden Disk Award.

So as he continues, a lot happened so their theme is to do the 2nd live naturally, with appreciation and also a chance to return a lot from the 4 of them. They were also able to talk about that from the live stage honpen.

"What them can we make for this year's live?", he said. He wanted to fill with core, and on the top of that, He wanted to decide something with a new spindle (?)

They spent a time to talk the day before the live. And it turned out that the 4 of them has a variety of opinions. And those were all important. For him, he said, a sash.

So they were talking a lot of different ideas for the theme, and each of them determined one. However, he insists not to write it on his blog and he said that Morikubo-san, Tattsun and Maenu will talk about it sometime.

It's been years since the 4 of them became Quartet Night. He said that he couldn't quite enjoy it since he has goosebumps and he's shaking(because he's nervous).

But still, he feels that the 4 of them has a strong bond. And also, it's not a time to hold back. They have a new live performance to do, so there should no refrain and humility.

Also, once they hold back from rehearsals and production stage, they couldn't able to do absolute good things. He said he was able to take a step forward from Haru hana. Tattsun and Shouta collided on singing, and it's their duet.

"Melting harmonies while being collided". He also said that he finally felt a new sensation grew up between him and Ai.

And then, Shouta said that he tried not to clutter on the talk. So, at that moment, he's able to tell all his honest feelings. For Utapri, for quartet night, and for Ai. All the invalidities that he felt. (All the invalid things) It's all different right now.

Shouta said, there are no other people who can portray Ai, and now he has a lot of confidence to do it. Shouta said that proudly. But he thinks that there were a lot of people that he made uneasy.

Shouta said that it's all really thanks to everyone, quartet night and Ai. That he’s able to be proud the previous time and right now.

Also, ST☆RISH, who they get to encounter a lot, And everyone, the staff (he said that he might not introduce them all), who made the series grow with a whole big love.

That's why Shouta was able to met Utapri, he met Ai, he met Quartet Night, he met HE☆VENS, and to meet everyone, too. He's thankful for everything.

Shouta wants to give a sash, from this day to the future. Shouta wants to make AN AWESOME UTAPRI with everyone. To make it astound from the whole world, and to make a legend. That kind of live stage.

(Shouta’s words) It could not be settled, but he wrote what he wanted to tell. "I LOVE. UTAPRI", he said.

(PHOTO CORNER) "At the backstage" "Before the stage starts! Gold wardrobes" "Second part wardrobes!" "We get to add fluffy things" "Encore!" "We get to arrange things!" "Solo cuts!"

"A photo that can be found only here, I was with Morikubo-san on the very last day of the rehearsals, The other two passed the baton of their last day of rehearsals. Nii-san, you're very amazing. And also, thank you so much!" "And also, the flowers we received!"

"Thank you for all the flowers! I think these aren't all yet. I'm very thankful". "And a photo in such day off (laughs" "Drastic! I didn't cut it? It's a wig (laughs) Looks like the atmosphere changed a lot! Wait, no makeup, WHO ARE YOU! (laughs)" Thank you. (blog ended)

Moving on a regular day. (Maeno Tomoaki Official Blog - 2018/11/06 Eng. Translation)

From Maenu's blog: "There's still a lingering memory as a Quartet Night but, going back on a regular day. Switching those feelings and facing work."

"At this time, I think that time, the four of us gathered on Tatsu's room (at the hotel), the night before the live to talk about necessary things."

"The real thing is, I was gonna send that "let's do talk the tomorrow" yet I was not able to send the message because the signal wasn't that good. That's why we turned out gathering all together, It was really necessary."

"The signal became so bad that time so... I felt that something led to do it (the talk). I'm really happy that I was able to create that kind of space with everyone. Again, Thank you."

"It's possible that we're able to stand on that stage, (but) we also has usually work. I appreciate a lot of things, I will continue my best and work hard again tomorrow."

"I don't feel that bad tonight, So, I'll drink sweetened cocoa. (picture of his Camus cup, with his Code Realize mat) (UGH FINALLY HE SHOWN IT ALREADY I'M SOFT) He added, "Hehe. Shouta, let's brew (cocoa) next time, too".

Da Vinci February 2021 Issue - Aoi Shouta as Fisheye Special Interview (Sailor Moon Eternal)

The Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon TV broadcast started when Aoi-san was four years old. The time you really into watching it.

I used to love pretty and sparkly things when I was little. The anime has unique and lovely characters. Also, the transformation scenes give off any techniques that shine and sparkle. From playing on pretending “Sailor Moon” characters (as a child) and watching musicals, it has always been on my side and an essential existence to me. All the things that I’m really into are there. 

Two characters gave you an impact, and one of them is Sailor Uranus/Tenoh Haruka.

The first time she appeared with Michiru-san, I was startled by what these two are. I was taken aback by how they are mysterious different from Usagi-chan and the others. As a child, I thought that this person is fantastic.

And the character that incredibly gave an impact is ‘Fisheye’ who is one of the members of the Amazon Trio that appeared in the 4th season of the anime (SuperS). A nymph and vividly remembered as a character voiced with Ishida Akira-san’s cute voice. 

The two other Amazon Trio members mostly target women, but Fisheye has an eye on men, which makes this character different. His voice is adorable, but I’m surprised that the one who voices him was a male seiyuu, the time I checked it on the ending credits. I’m having a hard time dealing with my voice back then, but I was astonished when I knew that a male seiyuu could portray such a wonderful character like Fisheye.

How important is portraying a role that is powerful and also deeply attached to you?

For me, Fisheye will be Ishida Akira-san’s Fisheye. However, it would be rude if I’ll act the same way as Ishida-san. So while cherishing Ishida Akira-san’s voice as Fisheye, I’m determined to do Fisheye as Aoi Shouta. 

And with that, Aoi-san’s Fisheye looks extraordinarily charming and alluring. By sneaking into Ami’s mind and luring her with a sweet whisper.

Fisheye and Ami-chan both control water. While Ami-chan has kindness and softness peculiar to water, Fisheye has a fear of water and not familiar with its unique nature that can pull into any risk. That makes the comparison why he can lure Ami-chan(laughs), so please look forward to it.

(Hello, I know that this magazine interview has the Shouta Fisheye cosplay. However, I won’t post it and instead I’ll suggest on buying the magazine via E-books so you can view it immediately(*´ω｀) Thank you so much for reading. I appreciate it a lot.)
