On December 8th, Shanghai ushered in the first snow of this winter. The “New Tennis Prince RisingBeat” (hereinafter referred to as RisingBeat), which was represented by Focus Game, held a national service prelude to the seiyuu meeting on this day, and invited the hand-painted Guoguang. The voice of the Ryotaro, the Kazuyuki who is the voice of the second week, the Takahashi Hiroki who is the voice of the Kikumaru, and the seiyuu of the four “The Prince of Tennis” who is the voice of Kawamura. During the day’s activities, the seiyuu not only performed the card-sucking, “song-matching” on the spot, but also the full-fledged links such as in-game dubbing performances for their respective characters. Anitama was invited to participate in the event and a short interview with four seiyuu after the event
——The new tennis prince RisingBeat has already opened its first anniversary in Japan, and the national costume will be opened in the future. First of all, I would like to ask you to express your thoughts and charm on this work
鲇 The Prince of Tennis” series has more than 800 songs in the 800 series, and will be more and more in the future. “RisingBeat” is the first music game in the history of “The Prince of Tennis”. Last year, I was fully prepared to be able to distribute the letter. I believe that the players in the country can’t wait. This time, the national costume finally has to meet with you. We are also looking forward to it, and we are honored to be able to attend this meeting. I hope that all friends who like “The Prince of Tennis” and like “The Prince of Tennis” must come to play this game
甲斐田. . . . . . . . Next year’s “The Prince of Tennis” comic series will also celebrate its 20th anniversary, and we have to dub the “Prince of Tennis” for 18 years. During these 18 years, including Japan’s “RisingBeat”, we witnessed the history of the “Prince of Tennis” such a monster-level work. What surprised me even more was that the person who grew up watching “The Prince of Tennis” has now become a creator of this work, so he has a series of “The Prince of Tennis” related to “RisingBeat”. The works, the goods, and the first batch of creators are separated by one generation, and the works born in this new generation will cultivate the next generations. This process of generational replacement makes me feel incredible. This is not a normal monster, but a monster with eternal power. I also look forward to the people who are playing RisingBeat now, and in the future will produce more and better new works and new products
Takahashi. First of all, I think “RisingBeat” is a very suitable game for novices. Whether it is the loyal readers of “The Prince of Tennis”, or friends who have not been in contact with “The Prince of Tennis” or even have not touched the music game are also very suitable. Very friendly to newcomers. Its buttons are larger than the average music game, and the decision mechanism is very loose. I have never played other music games that I have played in the past, and RisingBeat is no problem. Therefore, I hope that everyone can enjoy the fun of RisingBeat as a music game, and introduce and promote it to more people to play. It is also a good experience to contact the “Prince of Tennis” series. S Choice. “The Prince of Tennis” has a few hundred characters from the beginning, and there must be everyone who likes it, and the story is very rich and interesting. There is also a new original story in “RisingBeat”. When I think about it, I don’t want to miss a friend who likes “The Prince of Tennis”
川本. . . . . . I am not only honored as a seiyuu, but also as a lyricist to participate in the work of “The Prince of Tennis”. When we were dubbing the “Prince of Tennis” animation, we never thought that it would become such a big work for so many years. I didn’t expect it to be displayed in front of everyone in the form of music games, and even Cross the sea and come to mainland China. And when I was playing games on the stage, I didn’t expect everyone in the audience to know these songs and still sing. It’s really a wonderful language that can cross national borders. I am very excited and moved. In addition, I think the form of music games is really great. You can enjoy the games and listen to the songs in the game in your spare time. There are many ways to enjoy them. Through the “RisingBeat” project, everyone is exposed to “The Prince of Tennis” and these songs, I also think it is a very good opportunity
– Are you usually good at playing music games?
川本 Nothing at all
甲斐田 My words are generally level. “RisingBeat” is mainly because of some known songs, but there are also many new songs that have not been heard. Moreover, the “Prince of Tennis” is just like the song that Mr. Zhai has said, there are nearly 900 songs. These songs are not all heard. So when I was playing, there were so many songs that we had never heard of. This is the case, I am looking forward to it when I am playing. Even if you are not good at it, you can play it and listen more. Just like everyone who doesn’t eat raw food, they like sushi
川本 I understand that I understand (laughs)
鲇 My words, all types of games are like, but not good at it (laughs). Before playing “RisingBeat”, I thought I knew the song “The Prince of Tennis” very well, but after playing it, I found out that there are so many songs that I don’t know. I wonder if it is a new song. Of course, there are new songs. And later will add more new songs. Whether it is “The Prince of Tennis” or “RisingBeat” will slowly expand, and I look forward to it
Takahashi. I don’t really play music games myself, so I can’t talk about being good at it or not. But I used to go to the arcade shop to play the kind of audio game with physical buttons. The mobile game has no buttons, the slide is not very smooth, and I have to keep staring at the screen. I feel a little pressure. So I have decided to play only RisingBeat
甲斐田 I just remembered, Hiroki told me about this when I just bought the iPhone. “My finger is a bit big, I can’t press it if I don’t have to press it.”
——It’s been 17 years since I’ve dubbed the Prince of Tennis” animation. So what do you think about these characters who have been in contact for more than 10 years?
川本 My words, because of the encounter with Kawamura, my life has changed. It’s great to meet him. Then, I am old, he is still very young, and after that is the battle with time
甲斐田 Yes, I agree very much with this
川本 People rarely encounter such people who change their lives in this life. It is really lucky to be able to voice the voice of Kawamura. Of course, including getting to know this teammate, it is really rare
甲斐田 Can be the voice of no, I also have no regrets. When I was in the right place, I only thought about the performance of the Fujita, the performance of the performance, and the effort to bring the work of “The Prince of Tennis” to everyone. Just now, Cheng Jun has already said what I want to say. I can meet with “The Prince of Tennis”. I can meet with the two weeks of help. Through them, I have realized so many partners and realized that so many viewers who like “The Prince of Tennis”… For me, it is part of my life. I am only grateful for this role, thank you for the things he brought to me
鲇 Because of the encounter with the “Prince of Tennis” and the encounter with the handcuffs Guoguang, every producer, voice actor, and audience who participated in this work was connected because of this relationship. In such a year, everyone can still unite and get together to continue the work of “The Prince of Tennis” and develop it in other forms. I am really grateful. I am also very honored to be a member of this group. As they just said, because I dubbed the role of the handcuffs, I met with so many partners
甲斐田 Even in the follow-up works, everyone has embarked on a different path and will never be separated
鲇 Well, absolutely!
甲斐田 The songs of the follow-up works will also be included in “RisingBeat”, so everyone must pay attention
鲇 Like the relationship just mentioned, the song is also an indispensable part of this work. I also hope that when you listen to these songs, you should check and understand the meaning of the lyrics. Works, a deeper understanding of the characters
Takahashi. When I was in the case of the daisy, I also matched it according to the idea of Kikuma. Kikumaru is a very innocent and romantic atmosphere. Of course, nowadays, because of the gathering of all the Japanese masters, a lot of atmosphere makers, in addition to Kikuma, have become complicated (laughs). In other radio dramas or games with a bit of spoofing, Kikuma often does some wonderful actions when he is staying together, but he is actually very serious about tennis and actively confronts and overcomes his weaknesses. Training, now an alternate representative, sincerely hope that he can be elected as a representative of U-17
——At the end, please send a “suggested message” to the players of the national costume
川本 It is really a great honor to be able to come to Shanghai with everyone this time. In the future, we will continue to work hard to refuel and strive to meet with you next time in Shanghai. I am very grateful to everyone who is here today and everyone who watched the live broadcast on other platforms. I want to see you again, I will cheer!
鲇 We will play again, please support us! Thank you~.
甲斐田 It’s really a pleasure to be here today. If you come to participate in the RisingBeat national service every year, please do more! Also have fun playing games~.
高桥 I have a lot of audiences every time I come to Shanghai. Everyone is very enthusiastic, thank you very much! But now I want to come. It seems that this is the first time I have come to Shanghai to participate in the activities related to “The Prince of Tennis”. In the past, I was personally meeting. Of course, I will also talk about the topic related to “The Prince of Tennis”, but “Tennis.” For the first time, the official event of the Prince in Shanghai, I did not expect to be able to open it. This year, the official exhibition of the “Prince of Tennis” animation began. I hope that the audience of China and Japan can get closer and closer through the work of “The Prince of Tennis”. We also hope that we can get closer and closer to you. Let’s talk about this work with us in the future!
——Thank you very much for taking the time to accept this interview!
