#Japanese Seiyuu

[staticradioismyfavhateship]

btw you have GOT to watch this entire scene of the character Gus's introduction in FFVII: Rebirth, it is glorious. Even if for no other reason than to imagine Alastor inexplicably in Gus's position, but Setsuji Satou's voice is pleasing to the ears regardless.

Oh and here's a clip of HH's japanese dub so you can compare Satou's performances

[maxriderg]

Well, Today is Kappei Yamaguchi's 58th Birthday in which, I got this and so, have a Happy 58th Birthday to him, complete with a little supremely stellar something to share, right over here.

[apparently-artless]

no offense to Laios but I think I understand how the mermaids felt XD

[whosyourfavevoicedby-polls]

[faintrustle]

When they're all senseis voiced by the same voice actor.

Fragaria Memories seiyuu list + their other roles

Keep in mind this is mostly for my personal reference so I'll only be putting characters from media I'm into or at least heard of a lot. Feel free to add on to this in the comments or reblogs :]

THE DUALITY OF MAMORU MIYANO: THE PURE PRINCE VS. THE PSYCHO SERIAL KILLER

It still baffles me that my two beloved idiot comfort characters share the voice actor with the two characters who always send a chill down my spine.

[yukinohoshikuzu]

I’m sorry, no offense really, but i will NEVER understand how you guys are watching Death Note with English dub. I can’t comprehend it especially if you have heard the Japanese version before….

I mean we’re talking about THE Mamoru Miyano and THE Kappei Yamaguchi here.

You are missing out on SO MUCH

[hisbutleronhiatus]

It has been 108 days since the Kuroshitsuji hiatus was announced.

Today, Edgar decorated his nails with spooky designs, such as grinning jack-o’-lanterns, white-sheeted ghosts, black cat faces, and bats in mid-flight.

[staticradioismyfavhateship]

I love animation, and I love voice actors. In my rewatch of HH's season one's Japanese dub, I found Vox's seiyuu's voice sounding familiar, and would find out he also voiced Twice in BNHA (which was my previous hyperfixation for 3 years). This naturally kicked my love of voice acting into overdrive and desiring to draw something I hadn't drawn since 2019, which is characters of my current hyperfixation cosplaying as other characters their VAs have voiced. In this case, I've used their Japanese seiyuus.

Adam = Oetsu Nimaiya from Bleach; VA Youji Ueda

Lucifer = Hound Dog from BNHA; VA Eiji Hanawa

Vox = Twice from BNHA; VA Daichi Endou

Alastor = Gus from FFVII: Rebirth; VA Setsuji Satou

Sir Pentious: Dekapan from Osomatsu-san; VA Youji Ueda (he did not voice Dayon, I just used that character's face for the tophat to be in the same vein of humor as Osomatsu-san)

Pentious and Adam share a seiyuu, so I chose two different characters he has voiced for them both.

. R.I.P. Kouga-kun. :'(

Outoftomorrow: We lost another one! First Miroku, now Kouga...

[hinatahyugacute]

Sometimes we wonder, how different is the Seiyuus' work when they're participating in an anime franchise, and a dubbing of a foreign adaptation they can do drama act?- Kotori

Similar voices that you hear guess the name of voice actors and clue they are both famous seiyuu in Japan, they work together in same anime

[Hiraeth: A deep grief or longing for something that feels like home.]

[1] 葉 (ha) means ‘leaves’, which would fit more with the ‘seasons’ mentioned in this line, but I opted for ‘words’ because 葉 is also present in 言葉, meaning ‘words’

[2] Dasein: a philosophical term roughly describing how humans uniquely engage with the world (rather than how objects, plants, etc. do). though it’s much more complicated, so do read on it! i love when souma-san teaches us philosophy!!

[3] a combination of the strong imperative おけ and the expression だろ, which usually conveys uncertainty.

[4] decided to provide two definitions for the 3 kanji words here. the line just feels too short otherwise. stylistic choice.

this song cuts deep :(

if nostalgia or longing is the theme of Fictions, then Hiraeth is the central song of the album (it is, by the way). this song is full of bitterness; memories that were created with joy grow into dull reminders of what once was. it only makes the present seem less like a gift. this song recalls the type of memory that feels so distant, so different from how things are now, and how you are now, that it's no longer something you can connect with.. and it just makes your chest hurt. i'm sure we all have one of those.

side note: I tried to not use pronouns because of how abstract and therefore impersonal the song is (which, paradoxically, means it can apply to a wide range of people), but felt like adding a couple for emphasis :P

thank you for another amazing song, Souma-san! he really is a genius T_Tttt
