"Goodbye, Don Grease!] Yuki Kaji & Ayumi Murase Interview | Looking back on youth!What is the acting that attacked the last minute as a voice actor?

Theatrical animation released on February 18, 2022 (Friday) "Goodbye, Don Griez!].

In this work, Atsuko Shizuka, Atsuko Yoshimatsu (character design), and Madhouse (produced), who want to work on the TV anime "Place farther than the universe" broadcasted in 2018 and praised around the world, are reunited.What is drawn is the story of the boys's miraculous encounters.

Rouma, a boy who lives in a rural town a little away from Tokyo, formed a team with his friend Toto, Don Griez, and spent a casual day at a secret base made by two people.However, Toto went to a high school in Tokyo, and Rouma was alone.In the summer of such a high school freshman, we met with a drop from Iceland.He joined "Don Griez", but he was put in his casual words, and Rouma and his colleagues were tailored to the culprit of the wildfire.From there, the three will go on a great adventure in search of innocent evidence, looking for a drone that has disappeared beyond the sky.

This time, we interviewed Yuki Kaji who played Toto and Yuki Kaji who played the drop.I heard the impressions I had in this work, the difficulties of playing the role, and the episodes related to the youth and adventures of the two people in connection with the work depicting "Youth of the Boys".。

"Anime is amazing!"

――First of all, please tell us your impression of reading the script.

Yuki Kaji (hereinafter Kaji): The work material received during the audition has the keyword "Atsuko Ishizuka" and "One Summer Adventure".I felt that the information was fun!The same generation as the protagonists ... I think that the young people who have a so -called puberty time are particularly packed with dramas that resonate in the chest.

I read the script and remember myself at the time, and there were both parts I could sympathize with, and the part I yearn for because I didn't have it.Not only the dynamic of the story, but also delicate human dramas were carefully drawn, so it was a lot of fun playing.I was honored to be able to participate as an actor.

Ayumi Murase (hereinafter Murase): Rather than a script, I had been painting since the audition, so I felt something like the "scent" of the work from that time.

When you are a junior and senior high school student, you have a strong feeling that it is suppressed, as you have to blend into your classmates or have rules that you have to protect.Probably, there are many people who are worried about "What will happen in the future?"

The drop I played is a character who is interested in the other side of the environment where they are.With such a drop, the three will go ahead, but I felt that it was attractive to see what I couldn't do easily.

――Do you remember the scenes you received in the audition?

Murase: I think it depends on the role, but the drop was a scene of talking with Louma and Toto in a secret base tent.A scene where a slightly serious face of a drop that is always smiling appears.The other was a scene that could not be said because it was involved in spoilers, but I think that I could see whether I could change the expression.Kaji -san?

Kaji: At the beginning of the story, the scenes were in agony, whether to buy a drone or not.I remember that Toto continued to talk from beginning to end (laughs).Toto's various emotions are packed in a sense of speed.I guess the switching and the swing of the expression were checked.

―― I heard that the work has already been completed.Please tell us your impressions by watching the completed version.

Kaji: At the time of the audition, the video was almost completed, and from that stage, I felt that it was a work that has been made with plenty of affection over a long time.So, I went to the post -recording with the desire to respond to the feelings of such staff.After the recording, I played it with a full throttle enough to be a hettele ... I was impressed when I saw the completed one.The fun of the work alone was well conveyed, but I was surprised, "If various sounds are entered there, will it be such a wonderful work!"

Murase: I thought that too.I can say it myself, but the voice actor is amazing! (Laughs).I recorded the post -recording in two days, but the first and second days were available for about a week.In the meantime, I sent a picture that I recorded on the first day to the picture, but the impression of Oita changed when I was just looking at the picture."What would happen if this was more impressive, but what would happen if the music was added!?"

Kaji: I understand!It's just a "comprehensive art".Once again, I felt that animation production was the content that was created for the first time because of the various elements, such as effort, time, determination, sense of responsibility, money, and playfulness.There, there are many more people's love, and it's like a "child" that finally becomes independent.

Murase: Looking at the completed one, I thought again, "Anime is amazing!"

――When you play your own role, are there any difficulties and other things you have devised?

Kaji: I wonder if Toto is visible from the surroundings and a person who has a gap in his true feelings.He has a lot of descriptions in a high tension that tends to be turned up, but in fact, he is a character who has a relatively adult idea in Don Griez.During the play, he is a delicate young man, such as the gap triggered by the gap.He is afraid of his surroundings, and he dares to put harsh words.He is a person who reads the air.

It was a very difficult role that I had to open the drawers of the play that I have cultivated so far to open it.By the end of the post -recording, it was like a burning dregs (laughs).

Murase: Drop is a character with a certain "speculation".It's pretty heavy, and he may not be able to hold it, or now.He interpreted himself and played it.In a fun scene, you can see him having something.No matter what scene you played, you never forget how his "bitterness" feels.

――In the official interview, I was impressed by words such as “life -sized” and “reality”.Have you ever been conscious of directing "reality" in playing the character?

Murase: Because of the profession of voice actors, I play the character so that it is a beautiful pronunciation, how to put beautiful words, and it is easier for viewers to listen to it, but in this post -recording, "I will try to make a little more mouth.Was suggested.

Until then, I thought that "easy to listen" was a major premise, but I was very excited about "interesting!"From there, I sometimes try to make Lu Ritsu worse.I want you to be conscious of listening.

Kaji: Oh!Actually, I always keep in mind.For example, "Unless you are a teacher, lawyer, or member of the parliament at work, in the real world, you won't talk so much."But don't forget "reality", not "real".If you pursue too much reality, you will be able to get rid of it.The place where the grain is set is set up.If you create reality in such a way of thinking, as Imamurase -kun said, "intentionally breaks and speak" may be fully established as one of the techniques.

I feel that this work and the role of Toto were exactly the best example.Good if you enjoy it!Nori is important!But when it falls, it falls completely!(Laughs) In order to produce the unique energy unique to youth, I wonder if it is an ant to show a certain place.Of course, it is important to attack the last minute, as it will be meaningless if you can not listen to it (laughs).

Looking back on the youth of the voice actor

―― I would like to hear the episodes related to the two “youth” in connection with this work that depicts the summer youth of the boys.What kind of youth did you spend?

Kaji: I entered the voice actor office at the age of 16, so when I was in high school, I was already moving toward my future dreams.And when I was 18, I worked as a voice actor for the first time.

Murase: If you talk about your voice actor debut, I was quite late.I entered the office when I was 20 years old.

Kaji: Is that (still belonging to) Vims?

Murase: That's right (laughs).In my youth, I was 19 years old when I started going to a training school.If you learn the rules other than exercise, you could do it to some extent, but there are many things you can't play.After the lesson was over, I went to karaoke with my friends and talked, "What do you think to do?" "How do you play the next reading drama?"

Kaji: I understand!I was doing it in the park.I didn't have the money to rent a rehearsal room, and basically outside (laughs).

Murase: At Osaka School, we rented a little far away in the ward hall for only 3 hours.It's too nostalgic (laughs).

――Do you have a “adventure” episode in your youth, such as taking the plunge and going somewhere?

Kaji: The day after graduating from high school, you went to Ikebukuro by two friends.At that time, I lived in the countryside of Saitama Prefecture, but the town where the Tobu Tojo Line passed, and Ikebukuro was the best city that I could go to.Even if you measured it after getting on, it took about 40 minutes one way, so it was completely unknown how long it would take for a bicycle (laughs).However, I helped with the feeling of opening of graduation, and I didn't have any difficulty getting up early, so I met at 5:00 in the morning and left.

But ... as expected, I couldn't get on rowing (laughs).At last it was after 12:00 in the afternoon.I was hungry anyway, so I entered the family restaurant I saw, but at that time both were already exhausted.I ate almost silently.So, suddenly, I realized that I had to go home for 7 hours and return home ...? "(Laughs).After all, I arrived around 19:00.Considering that I left at 15:00, I was able to go home in about 5 hours, two hours earlier than going.Well, on the way home, I was tired, I wanted to go home early, and I kept rowing without talking to each other (laughs).

At that time, I thought, "I'll do it again!"I guess Toto and others felt like this in this drama (laughs).

Murase: I'm basically lazy and I don't do much activity, but it's a good memory to climb a mountain with two good friends three years ago.

Like Kaji's memories, it's fun and high tension.However, I was getting tired and I could only hear the breath of harsh (laughs).Still, the sense of accomplishment when I got over the steep road and reached the top was amazing....... Well, I've never climbed a mountain since then (laughs).

Kaji: After all!(smile)
