As a dubbing work, seiyuu usually only dubbs a corresponding character or work, and rarely participates in the whole process of creation, guidance and so on. But there are occasional exceptions, such as the one seiyuu we interviewed this time – Xinyi. .
Xinyi’s voice is very wide, from the “orthodox” role to the “bad service” can be easily controlled. The most familiar role of Xinyi is “Fate/Zero”, “Zhutongyan Night”, but in fact, he plays the “Prince of Tennis” series of “Wooden Yongsangro” and “Swords and Dances” The Valley Department is equally impressive. Among them, in the “Prince of Tennis” series, in addition to dubbing their own characters and singing role songs, Xinyi also provided songwriting for character songs for some other seiyuu in the works. In the later musical version of the “Prince of Tennis” series, the producer also found a new dialect from Okinawa to help the actors of the stage play in the dialect of Okinawa. In 2016, I loved the new help of music, and after a few years of acquaintance, the same music-loving friend formed the band “Twin” to carry out music activities with friends after work. .
This voice change freely, and likes the seiyuu of music. This time, as a guest of this year’s AC-Joy animation game carnival, I came to Guangzhou. Before our performance, JPbeta. . . . . . . . . . gave a brief interview with Xinyi. .
JPbeta : Does Mr. Xinyi choose to use his grandfather’s old name as his stage name, and what unforgettable memories are there with his grandfather? .
新垣樽助: . In fact, my grandfather passed away before I was born. The name of my grandfather I know is the name after the name change, but the name before his name change is “help”, because the name “樽助” is changed in any name. No place has been left. This is a great name. I heard about my anecdote from my family when I was alive. I know that he is a very good person who loves you. He has a heart for his grandfather who can’t meet, so he wants to take this opportunity to bring his grandfather’s original The name stayed and the stage name was taken. .
JPbeta : In the animation “The Prince of Tennis”, Mr. Shino has created character songs for other characters in the work in addition to performing as a seiyuu. . In the later musical “The Prince of Tennis”, I also participated in the work as an Okinawa-directed guide. It is a full participation in the work of “The Prince of Tennis”. What kind of work is “The Prince of Tennis” for Mr. Xinyi? .
新垣樽助: . Seiyuu is a job that will ask you to say a beautiful standard language. In this work, I was born in Okinawa for me, and I will remove the Okinawa dialect to interpret. In the “Prince of Tennis”, I can use the language of my hometown with my character. It is a special work that allows me to connect my hometown language with seiyuu work. So if I can help, I will do anything. . This is also a work that allows me to celebrate that I am born in Okinawa. Therefore, I will try my best to pay attention to not losing Okinawa when I play the role of Yongshiro. .
JPbeta : For the long time of participating in the performance of “The Prince of Tennis”, does Mr. Xinyi have any special feelings? .
新垣樽助: . Although I have performed a lot of works, there are very few works that have been involved for such a long time. This work has nurtured me, so I am very grateful. .
JPbeta : Mr. Xinyi has appeared in many radio drama CDs, especially the TV drama CDs of the Otome is very popular in China. Is there any interesting thing to share with us when recording? .
新垣樽助: . Although I don’t know if this is interesting, I will record it with the co-players in front of the microphone, and I haven’t discussed this scene beforehand. You have to play like this. I will record it like this. In the performance, if I improvise, the other party will improvise, this moment is very interesting, there will be a plot that is not on the script. .
JPbeta : In addition to the dubbing, Mr. Xinyi also has involved in music activities, and formed a band “Twin” with friends. As a member of the band, what do you think the music can best bring to you? .
New Help:Originally, it was just a band composed of friends with interest. Although the work was very pleasant, but when I was working and tired, I was able to relax with the concerts. In addition, I have always been talking with a scorpion, creating a work by speaking, but I can also create a work without talking through instruments and songs. This has benefited me a lot and is very helpful to me. .
JPbeta : Mr. Xin has received a lot of job-blowing work, as well as a dedicated actor. What is the difference between the blowing and the dubbing of animation? .
新垣樽助: . Animations are done by dubbing, and the film’s blow is conveyed to the audience in an easy-to-understand way on the finished object. .
JPbeta : Which one does Mr. Xinyi prefer? .
新垣樽助: . I both like it very much, can’t choose it, can I answer this question (laugh). .
JPbeta : In addition to the work of dubbing and music, Mr. Xinyi also tried to perform the Shiba drama in recent years. Mr. Xinyi, what do you think is the most interesting part of this work? .
新垣樽助: . The audience will look at themselves in front of their eyes, hear the voice of the audience and see their reactions. .
JPbeta : Mr. Xin Wei, do you think dubbing, music, and Shiba drama, which is the most interesting? .
新垣樽助: . Is dubbing, seiyuu work. .
JPbeta : In the dubbing, music, and Zhiju drama, which one does Xinyi like most? .
新垣樽助: . Music and the stage are very happy, but when you do, you can’t help but thinking that this will help you with seiyuu work, so your favorite is seiyuu work. .
In fact, seiyuu is just a job. Now many seiyuu are versatile. In addition to seiyuu work, they will try to do some hobbies or sideline activities, so that they can not only relax as a decompression method, but also give fans more opportunities. Learn more about the charm of seiyuu. Maybe, in the future, there will be seiyuu like the new help, and slowly show a variety of talents, so that everyone has the opportunity to know more comprehensive seiyuu. .
