The new animations in October have been launched one after another. The original animation of MAPPAxAvex picturesxCygames, “Saga Idol is Legend”, has attracted a lot of attention with the impact of the launch. This time FAMI interviewed the producer of Cygames Animation Division, Takenaka Shinji. I talked about the after-the-scenes anecdote of this plan. .
First of all, Zhu Zhong said that after seeing the animation, the first episode actually caused such a big response that he could not think of it, which led him to be unable to predict the future development of this work. When asked why he thought of doing the idol work of the zombie system, Bamboo answered in a simple and clear way: “Because the character named “Rita” appeared in the animated “Behmite GENESIS” is too cute. It is.”

TV anime “Bahmet GENESIS”.
As far as the current situation is concerned, many viewers think that there is no idol animation in this game. In this regard, Zhuzhong explained that in terms of planning, everyone feels the way idols live, so if you start based on this point, From the first words, it is already a work of idols. So what is the plan for what is the opportunity? Bamboo mentioned that this was a plan conceived four years ago. At that time, various kinds of plans were brought back from the outside, including idols. The opportunity was rare, and Zhu Zhong decided to make a work different from others, so he quietly found the producer of MAPPA, and asked him “How is the theme of zombies becoming idols?” Then the plan began. Takenaka said that if there was no such thing as “somewhat meaningful” at the beginning, it is estimated that there may be no such work now, and the earliest title is tentatively “Idol Zombies (アイドルゾンビ)”, and also because of this, in addition to the early stage of planning, Almost no one else can understand this plan. .
This time, Cygames participated in this work in the form of production. Takenaka also said that he was in the free position of production. His own speech during the script meeting gave the supervisor and the system a lot of troubles. The main work at this stage is to make efforts for the commercialization and promotion of Saga Prefecture. When it comes to Saga, it is reminiscent of whether the Cygames Saga Building, scheduled to be completed in December 2019, is related to this work. Regarding this point, Zhuzhong also talked about the fact that he did not consider it at first. There is actually a small story about the opportunity to truly determine Saga as a stage background. Takenaka said that the plan of the company and the company had not been able to pass the written request of Cygames, and the president of Cygamse, who was born in Saga Prefecture, was able to make an animation about Saga Prefecture. We set up the stage of this plan in Saga. .
Takenaka said that when he came to Saga three years ago, he was led by the leader of the team, and led by the team leader to the team. In the process of drawing, everyone felt the possibility of Saga, and this work was created with the love of Saga Prefecture. At the same time, the title was officially named “Saga Idol is Legend”. On the one hand, there is a difference between the idol films that Zhuzhong thinks is the essence and the essence, and the name “Idol Zombies” is easy to limit the imagination of the audience. On the other hand, it is hoped that “Saga” will be placed in a conspicuous part. I also hope that more people can watch the work. It can be said that the feelings of the main creation team for Saga are like the lucky Taro in the drama, all of which are from the bottom of my heart to help them! .
Since the story stage is set in Saga, it is inevitable that it will become a place for the Holy Land. Bamboo said that it was originally at the beginning of the plan, but it changed during the process of planning slowly. It became a priority to set up the story, and then forgot the matter, so now it will be natural. If you can come to the Holy Land for animation, it would be better. At the same time, due to the geographical location of Saga, it is very difficult to hold animation activities here, but Takenaka said that he really wants to hold an event in Saga, and hopes that everyone will come to participate.
Since the launch of the broadcast, this work is still a mystery. Source Sakura, who is the main character, seems to be just an ordinary girl, but she is showing her talents to us a little. The reporter can’t help but asking Zhuzhong what kind of character Yuan Shuai’s true identity is. Takenaka explained that Yuan Sakura is just an ordinary girl who is a little unusable and unlucky. What she does is not because she can be a human being. If everyone is forced to become a zombie like her, she is determined to die. To do this, I believe that no matter who can do it, so in summary, source cherry is just a very ordinary girl. When it comes to the mystery, another person is also very concerned about the identity of the role of “the legendary Yamada Miao” is even more so. Zhu Zhong said that the idea of light to explore the origin of idols has already shown that everyone feels the charm of Yamada, so they want to know more. However, Zhuzhong believes that it is the specific origin of the idol that does not know the identity of the idol, so the identity of Yamada will continue to be kept secret. .
With the second word broadcast, the title song also brought a strong impact to everyone. Takenaka said that in the process of discussing the production of the title song, everyone has seen each other and said what they want. Mr. Sato Hiroshi, who was able to give birth to this title song and acted as the theme song producer, was indispensable. This is the result of his efforts to bring together everyone’s opinions. Here, Zhu Zhong also revealed that he had had an irresponsible speech “I hope to join the rough male chorus in the title song.” In the end, the whole concept of agreement was that “the title song should not let the audience have the impression that this is an idol song.” At the same time, Zhu said that although the goal of this work is to make idol animation, but what will develop in the future, please slow down. Slowly expecting, but if you treat this as an ordinary idol animation, then there may be a situation where expectations are lost. In the previous seiyuu interview, the farming pear sand playing the game of Mizuno also mentioned that everyone should not hold this because it is an idol, so the idea of idol wind songs is better, just like the first words are death heavy metals. The second word is rap. This time, I have included all kinds of idol songs from the 80s and 90s, and even 8bit music will appear, and every word will have a performance! .
Finally, Takenaka said that this “Saga Idol is Legend” is an original animation project that is the first game of Cygames. Although I am often asked “this animation for what is done for what”, in fact, this work is only the result of the pursuit of pure ideas. The broadcast of the first words may also make many people think that this is a work that picks up the audience, but as long as you continue to read the second words, I believe that this is a feeling that is not a sight and can provide you with a brand new Feel the work. In the future, the personality of these girls will also be displayed for a little, and gradually bring in feelings, so I hope that everyone will be able to witness their growth together until the end. .
