Animage November 2024 Issue ft. Miyazawa Yu Interview (translation below)

Publication: October 10, 2024 (between episode 32-33)

A Cleaner Style

The 3rd Lap is a chaotic development, where the intentions of various people will blend together. Among them, Sakito Homura is attracting the most attention.

Sakito lost both of his parents at an early age and had no one to rely on. When he was around 10 years old, he encountered Byun Diesel, also known as Byundi, and set off to space, where he lived a dangerous life as a cleaner. Although Sakito initially said that he had "abandoned Earth," ever since he bonded with Taiya Hando and the others, he now fights to protect Earth from the Hashiriyans.

Sakito has changed through these new encounters, and it's because of them that he has friends that he can rely on, but he can't ignore Genba Bureki, who's walking his own path of loneliness out of a desire for revenge against Disrace, the one who seized his home planet of Bureki. Sakito, who works on his own as a cleaner, uses this position to approach Genba and attempts to pull him back to the Boonboomgers, sometimes by expressing his own feelings to him.

As a result of Sakito's actions and his interaction with Nijino Akira of Ressha Sentai ToQger, Genba's stubborn feelings begin to change.

The day when the six Boonboomger members once again fight side by side isn't that far off. _

-The distance between me and Byundi isn't the same as close friends or brothers-

"After passing through the 2nd Lap, Sakito's become a familiar face, and we think his personality and position, which is independent of the other Boonboomgers, make him a unique character in the show."

Miyazawa: Even before filming, I wanted Sakito's character to find a balance between those three - the calm Taiya and Ishiro and the mysterious Genba, and those cheerful two - Mira and Jou, so that he could go either way. So, I tried to make him two faced, or rather, it was important to give him the calmness that comes from having nearly 20 years of experience working as a cleaner in space, and the childishness that comes from having left Earth at the age of 10 to live freely. I still have trouble raising and lowering the excitement between those two roles, but I'm trying to make that part of my performance bring out Sakito's best qualities.

"We were impressed by how child like you sometimes act, but that was a conscious part of your performance, right?"

Miyazawa: That's right. He knows about space, so he acts as a commentator, but he also screws around, so it's convenient for the comedic parts (laughs). Lately, I've been trying to express that kind of growth in him, like how he's looking at things more calmly now that a few months have passed, compared to how excited he used to be when he first came back to Earth.

"In the 3rd Lap, Sakito has more scenes with Genba, who had left Boonboomger."

Miyazawa: Sakito has Byundi by his side, but I think that because of his past experiences, he's lived his life without relying on others, believing that he has to do things on his own. In the fight with Taiya in episode 18, he also spoke about his disillusionment and resignation toward adults. This overlaps with the current Genba, who's outlook has become narrow due to wanting to take his planet back. Sakito himself felt that he could grow with the help of the Boonboomgers, and in his own clumsy way, I'm sure he wants to pass on his experiences to Genba, even if only alittle, and do something about it. For Sakito's reaction to hearing Genba say, "This is my only shot," after sumo wrestling with him in episode 32, I wanted to express the conflict of, "Is it really impossible to persuade him any further?," so I consulted Director Nakazawa-san about it.

"The Suit Actor for BoonViolet after the Change is Tsutamune Masato-san."

Miyazawa: Not only do I talk alot with Tsuta-san, but we also copy each other's performances. We've never had the opportunity to perform our roles together before, so I was abit worried, thinking, "Is this gonna be okay?," but the fact that we were able to build a good relationship right from the start was good for creating Sakito's character.

"Something indispensable for Sakito is the existence of his partner Byundi."

Miyazawa: Byundi's his partner who's been through some difficult times together, Sakito can talk to him about anything, and if something happens to the other, they immediately rush over. Figuratively speaking, he's like an older brother to Sakito, so while I'm conscious of their brotherly relationship in my performance, in terms of the distance between them, he's not his brother, best friend, or even a parent. Having a relationship like these two where you're together all year round is unusual, isn't it? That's why I think Byundi's existence is unique and special.

"What kind of conversations do you have on set with Takada Masashi-san, Byundi's Suit Actor, when it comes to expressing the relationship of those two?"

Miyazawa: I wanted to realistically portray the perfect harmony between Sakito and Byundi, or rather, what it's probably been like since Sakito was little, so I've talked about alot of things with Takada-san. Like, when he sat on Byundi's tire as a chair in episode 24, or when he watched the battle between the Aori Family and the Hashiriyans on Byundi's legs in episode 29. For improv like that, I consult with Takada-san, who tells me places where I can hop on with, "This is a good spot," but also adds more ideas.

"What's your impression of Hanae Natsuki-san, the voice behind Byundi?"

Miyazawa: I've watched Hanae-san do post recording multiple times, and have also had the chance to talk with him. Hanae-san always manages to skillfully "train" for my performances, and he improvises quite abit. In the baseball scene in episode 23, when he was cheering for Sakito, he kept saying, "Sa-ki-to!" (laughs). During recording of the scenes between BoonViolet and Byundi, when I record first, I'll think about how I'll interact with him, and when Hanae-san records, I think about how I'll respond while watching Tsuta-san's movements. I thought a relationship like this was wonderful. It's not often that you get the chance to work so closely with tokusatsu professionals like Tsuta-san and Takada-san, and Voice Actor professionals like Hanae-san, so I've been taking in alot from them through this experience.

-A decisive battle with the Cannonborg, I also carried Tsutamune-san's feelings on my shoulders-

"In episode 32, the most recently aired episode, from "Ressha Sentai ToQger," Suzuki Right's Shison Jun-san and Nijino Akira's Nagahama Shin-san made guest appearances."

Miyazawa: I worked with Nagahama-san during filming and Shison-san during post recording, and while both of them are senior Sentai members, above all else, they're senior actors, so it was a great honor for me to costar with them. Still, I also thought, "I absolutely can't lose." Sakito himself isn't the type to get carried away just because some seniors came along. Both of them took on all of our acting, so I went into it with the feeling of "I'm gonna give it my all."

"In a positive way, there was a sense of rivalry."

Miyazawa: Yeah, it was one sided though (laughs). I did feel alittle frustrated because I could see the difference in our abilities, but I also received tons of positive encouragement.

"So far, which episodes are you particularly attached to?"

Miyazawa: It would have to be episode 25, that was one of the turning points for Sakito, and it left a deep impression on me. How would I show the change in Sakito, who used to say, "I'll give this planet to Hashiriyans," through his involvement with Boonboomgers? While doing it I was thinking, "If Sakito and BoonViolet can't liven things up, then this episode will be ruined." Just from the script, I was especially excited about him using the weapons everyone gave him in the battle against Cannonborg, and I thought Tsuta-san would definitely do some cool action, so I went to observe filming to get a better idea of what to expect during post recording. On set, Tsuta-san was speaking BoonViolet's lines, and I could really feel his emotions through them. In order to convey Sakito's feelings for the Boonboomgers and Earth, I tried to use my voice with as much passion, if not more, as Tsuta-san's actions, and for the first time ever, I was sweating during post recording. I also wanted to show Sakito's innocence in the fireworks scene at the end.

"It truly was a scene that showed Sakito's gap."

Miyazawa: I was like, "You were so cool defending Earth, and now you're all hyped up about some festival!" (laughs). Still, I believe that the build up of those efforts has led to his current development.

"Are there any situations you'd like to play as Sakito in the future?"

Miyazawa: I personally feel like, "Please let me do whatever I want!," but if I were to list them all in detail, there'd be no end in sight……However, I wonder what'll happen to Sakito at the end of Boonboomger's story. Sakito's current goal is crushing the Hashiriyans, but unlike the other Boonboomgers, he doesn't have a goal like competing in the Big Bang Grand Prix. I also wonder what kind of answer he'll give on whether he chooses to stay on Earth, to which he's grown increasingly attached to, or to return to space where his cleaner acquaintances are. I'm really looking forward to the moment when I find out how Sakito feels after achieving his goal. _

Q: What's your favorite manga/anime?

I've watched a variety of things, like "Kimetsu no Yaiba," which features Hanae-san in it, but if there's one work that I really like, it's "ONE PIECE." I've read the original story in Shonen Jump magazines, and have participated in the card game tournaments (laughs). For characters, I like Eustass Kid and Charlotte Katakuri so much, that I put them in my card game deck. Kid is cool in that he's a madman with a surprisingly passionate side, and Katakuri, despite being a villain, is very compassionate…….Perhaps it's because they both have something in common with Sakito that I'm even more fond of them. (-Miyazawa) _

Transcript of a Cleaner

Sakito, along with Byundi, have been cleaning up trouble as the best cleaners in the universe. Here's a glimpse of how they've been taking care of things on Earth.

Delivery of the Legendary Sword Client: The Hashiriyan Family His delivery to Cannonborg was his first job on Earth. Later, in order to pay off his debt to the Boonboomgrs and allow Byundi to meet Bundorio, he disposed of Sword Grumer, the legendary sword that had mutated.

Disposal of the Boonboomgers Client: Cannonborg He was left with no other choice but to take on the job after his precious trading cards was stolen. However, he withdrew from the request because Cannonborg involved Kakeru, his old friend and the owner of the card, and his family.

Fighting with the Boonboomgers Client: Taiya Hando Out of anger for putting Kakeru in harm's way, he accepted this request from Taiya immediately after breaking things off with the Hashiriyans. Since then, he's rushed to join the Boonboomgers in their battles against the Hashiriyans.

Disposal of Cannonborg Client: The Boonboomgers The only way to prevent Jackie Hoi Hoi's reactivation, is for Sakito, the fastest of the six, to stop Cannonborg. Sakito hunted down Cannonborg with the weapons entrusted to him by his friends.

Support for the Spy Job Client: Ishiro Meita At the request of the ISA, Ishiro was trying to retrieve an item from the Aori Family. Sakito took things upon himself to help out, and together with Byundi, they attracted the attention of the Aori Family and assisted him in his work.

Uchusen Vol.187 (Winter 2025) Bakuage Sentai Boonboomger ft. Soma Satoru x Miyazawa Yu Interview (translation below)

Publication: December 27, 2024

"What were your first impressions of each other?"

Miyazawa: I think the first time we spoke was after I was chosen for the role. By the way, I participated in an audition for Boonboomger around the time they were selecting the initial five members. Ultimately, they passed on me during that audition, but I was with Satoru during the final rounds. So, even though we met during the audition, we didn't properly greet each other until after I was cast as Sakito and was having my costume fit.

Soma: Because of the vibes Zawa-kun has, he gives off the impression of being pretty aggressive. He's normally like this too (laughs).

Miyazawa: What do you mean by "like this"? (laughs).

Soma: When we first greeted each other, I thought he might be alittle scary, but when I actually got to know him, it was the complete opposite. He's really kind, can both tell and respond to jokes, and I found him to be someone with surprisingly calm vibes.

Miyazawa: I'm a pretty normal guy though (laughs). When I first met Satoru, the impression I got was that he was very calm, and that he felt similar to Genba. He appeared kind, and even now, that kindness hasn't changed. It sorta feels like he's Buddha (laughs).

Soma: I'm always calm (laughs).

"Are there any parts of the other that have changed since those first impressions?"

Miyazawa: I knew right away that he was a decent guy when we started filming, but especially around episode 27, Genba's drama, which included the fact that he was actually an alien, began to be depicted, and I was able to see the mindset and enthusiasm Satoru had for his performance. He also fills his scripts with tons of notes, so it was clear to me that he was actually passionate about what he was doing, which was in contrast to the slightly mysterious impression he'd been giving me up to that point. I realized that he was incredibly serious and gave things alot of thought, and my impression of him changed considerably.

Soma: From my first impression of Zawa-kun, I felt that he had some "aniki" vibes to him, and in fact, when I interact with him, I often think, "He really is an aniki." As an example, when everyone's feeling abit exhausted and spaced out, or when we're doing "this" important scene, he'll firmly use his words to get us through it. There are times when I also think it'd be best to get back on track, but since I often try to make them understand through my behavior, rather than with words, it's sometimes difficult for me to get the message across. However, he communicates clearly with his words, which I feel grateful for.

"What scenes specifically were you referring to?"

Miyazawa: I'm too embarrassed to talk about it myself……you do it (laughs).

Soma: One instance was during filming of the final battle with Disrace (episode 35). There's a scene where all five Boonboomgers take turns speaking a single line, but due to the order they filmed us in among other things, we weren't able to do it in the right order on set. However, to make sure we wouldn't keep messing up, he told us, "This is an important scene, so let's get it together." I'm grateful for the fact that he's able to be straightforward with us during important moments.

Miyazawa: Every Director films differently, some of them work on the arrangement first, and others film test shots to get our expressions right, so it can sometimes be hard to tell which parts they're filming. However, the scene of them defeating Disrace was also a highlight that represented the strength of the Boonboomgers, as they all carried Genba's feelings on their backs as they took him down, so it was an incredibly important scene. I of course think that everyone's doing their best, but in situations like that, everyone, myself included, gets fired up when I say, "Let's focus!"

"What kind of position do you two usually hold within the Boonboomger team?"

Soma: I'd say we're both on top when it comes to being teased. "Aniki" gets teased the most though (laughs).

Miyazawa: In the beginning, I used to be the one who'd respond to them, but I've always been the joking type. Anyways, I wanted to be the funny one so badly, that I ended up reaching my breaking point in an instant (laughs). I can rely on Satoru because he's an "all rounder" who can also give good responses.

Soma: There's way too many funny guys on Boonboomgers team (laughs).

Miyazawa: Sometimes, Satoru's the only one making jokes, as no one will be able to respond to them. That's why there tends to be a "standoff" of just jokes (laughs).

Soma: What more, once someone's made a joke that we're all satisfied with, it ends there, but then we're like, "What was that all about just now?" (laughs).

"Ever since episode 27, there've been alot more scenes involving Genba and Sakito."

Soma: We talk alot about the scenes the two of us are involved in, but basically, for the performance I'll think, "If he does this, then I'll do that," and do my best by using what I have in mind for each situation.

Miyazawa: We don't really have discussions beforehand or anything like that, rather, Satoru will bring it up when we're together on days when we have off from filming, and I'll reply with, "Maybe we should do it this way, but I can't be sure until we try it out on set."

"Episode 32 was the ToQger episode. What are your memories with the guests?"

Soma: I had performed some scenes together with Nijino Akira's Nagahama Shin-san, and I was very happy that he was so friendly. I was abit uneasy because Nagahama-san both gives off mature vibes and is much older than me, but when I spoke with him, he was very calm and easy to talk to.

Miyazawa: Maybe he was being especially kind to Satoru because they're Orange senior and junior (laughs).

Soma: Orange heroes appearing together may be one of the most rare occurrences in the history of the franchise.

Miyazawa: I was also happy to have the opportunity to work with him during post recording. Akira is a character with unique vibes, but when Nagahama-san's performance is added on top of that, it's incredibly appealing, and, it made it easier for me to add Sakito's responses.

"What about Shison Jun-san?"

Soma: I didn't perform any scenes with him, but I had the opportunity to greet him and observe his recording session.

Miyazawa: Together with Haruhi, the three of us recorded together, and I had alot of fun with the interaction between Sakito and Right. Shison-san is skilled at recording, and Right is a character with rather relaxed vibes, so I was concerned about the imbalance between him and Sakito, but I thought to myself, "I definitely don't wanna lose." Director Nakazawa also encouraged me by saying, "Don't lose, Sakito" (laughs).

"Have you gotten used to post recording?"

Soma: I'm still struggling with recording. In my case, my performative voice is totally different from my real voice, and when my voice is applied to the Suit Actor's performance, the way it sounds there changes as well. Even if I think that I should put more emotion into a certain part and apply my voice abit more strongly, it ends up sounding completely different when I listen back to it. I struggle with nuances like that the most.

Miyazawa: In my case, Byundi is basically next to me all the time……Suit Actor Takada Masashi-san is of course very careful, but when Byundi moves, the suit sometimes makes a rubbing sound, and when that happens, post recording has to be added to that scene. This is why I often record not only after the Change, but also for Sakito when he's untransformed, and it's still difficult trying to use a voice that expresses the emotions, as well as the actions happening within the scene. It also felt awkward at first to voice the action depicted in battle scenes. I do jujutsu, so I was like, "When you attack, you don't speak out that loud, right?," but I've come to understand that it's necessary to communicate in a way that's easy to understand. However, it's still difficult. If I'm too focused on it, it'll turn out too strong.

Soma: When I first started, I was worried that I might not be able to do it at all, and when I look back, there are many parts that don't fit well, but recently, I think those parts are slowly decreasing.

"The Voice Actors are all veterans too."

Soma: When I listened and compared myself to them, I felt depressed (laughs). At first, I didn't even know how the recording process was done, so I was allowed to observe.

Miyazawa: I also had the opportunity to observe, and it was truly amazing. We're all about movement, but the Voice Actors can accurately match their breathing and lines to the movements. I think that Voice Actors are amazing, but we're also doing our best as actors, and we're determined "not to lose."

"What are your impressions of Bundorio's Matsumoto Rika-san and Byundi's Hanae Natsuki-san?"

Soma: I've done post recording together with Matsumoto-san, and her voice is so powerful, that I'm almost overwhelmed by it (laughs). Still, every time, she talks to me in an incredibly friendly manner. She also gives me advice during recordings, which especially in the beginning, I appreciate.

Miyazawa: I was able to observe Hanae-san when he was recording for the first time, and he's a really calm and wonderful person. He does alot of adlibbing during the recording, and Hanae-san's lines for the scenes between Sakito and Byundi adds alot of depth to them. Speaking of, while we were filming on set one time, Hanae-san was there for recording, and he suddenly called out loudly from behind us, "Sakito!" I was really happy, but it was alittle embarrassing because everyone there started staring at me (laughs).

"What characters are you particularly fond of?"

Soma: Mine are the Nejiretta. I don't know how to properly put it into words, but I like how charming they are. Their faces are nice, and at a glance, they also give off the impression of being incredibly weak, so when they fight, I think, "They're cute." Yaru-chan is cute too though.

Miyazawa: Mine should naturally be Byundi……however, it's gotta be Madrex. He was cool even during his final moments.

Soma: Episode 33 was supposed to be a major episode for Genba, but then he stole the show at the very last minute (laughs).

"We understand that the two of you often spend time together in your private time."

Miyazawa: Both of us love saunas, so when filming finishes early, we go to a super sento type of bathhouse together.

Soma: Doing three sets of going into the sauna and then taking a cold bath is sufficient enough for me, but every time, Zawa-kun asks me to do another, and so we end up doing about five sets.

Miyazawa: I thought it'd be sufficient for me too, but I'm always tempted to take on the challenge of doing more (laughs).

Soma: It's not always just the two of us, as sometimes, Yuki and Ryu join us, so we've probably been there about ten times in total.

Miyazawa: It's fun every time. We talk about work while enjoying the ganbanyoku……

Soma: About 80% of our conversations are meaningless (laughs). Still, I think it's nice that we're able to have that kind of relationship.

"Looking back over the past year, how do you feel?"

Soma: It really went by in an instant. There was so much to learn, which is the reason why it felt like time passed so quickly. I think it was a fulfilling year, and I hope to use what I've learned here going forward. I still think that there are some areas that I need to improve on, but I feel that the number of things I'm able to do has gradually increased.

Miyazawa: Many of the seniors from my agency come from tokusatsu backgrounds, and when I was selected for the role, they told me, "You're going to learn alot, and it's definitely going to be a great year, so enjoy it." Just as they said, I actually had alot of fun doing it, and I was given the opportunity to play a rewarding role, so I think it's been a truly fulfilling year. It's not often these days that you get the opportunity to work on a single role for such a long span of time. The fact that I was able to spend so much time performing and creating a single role will without a doubt be valuable inspiration for me in the future.

"What are your concerns regarding future developments?"

Miyazawa: After the Christmas episode, the story will begin to quickly move toward its climax. Including the connection between space and the Earth, how will things turn out for the Boonboomgers and the ISA, as well as the Hashiriyans? I hope that you'll pay attention to what each one of us will do, as well as to the BBG, which is Bundorio and the Boonboomgers dream.

Soma: Since you said everything, I'll just say a condensed version (laughs). The story will move forward at full throttle once we enter the new year, so including the expressions of each character, I hope you won't miss a single important scene.

Miyazawa: I'd be happy if you pay attention to what's being depicted down to the finest detail, such as, "Why'd this person do what they did?" I think that you'll really enjoy it if you watch it while thinking about the feelings of each character, and I think you'll also find it interesting as that sort of drama!

"And now finally, please give a message to the fans."

Soma: I'm really happy that I've been able to feel the presence of those who love and support Boonboomger, not just through SNS, but also at in person events, and every day I feel a strong sense of joy and fulfillment by appearing in such a production. From now until the final episode, the story will push forward, so I hope you'll continue to love us until the very end. Thank you for your continued support!

Miyazawa: First off, thank you so much for 2024 (laughs). Everyone's vocal support for Boonboomger has been a great source of strength to us, and we have nothing but gratitude for that. In response, I'll do my best to return the favor in the form of my performance, and I'll give it my all during the last spurt after the new year. We're doing our best to bring everyone the fun and wonderful parts of the story, so definitely make sure to look forward to it. I look forward to your support in 2025!

4. André Gide - doesn't think, that he deserves to join kids' game.

Who are forbidden to join:

1. Tetchou Suehiro - problem is in his eating habits. He did it a couple of times on a tea party and kids decided to copy him. Only Elise didn't get a stomach ache. Since then, Tetchou isn't allowed to join tea parties without supervision.

2. Alexander Pushkin - he is bad in controlling his tongue and will talk about something inappropriate. And we aren't talking about swearing. Pushkin might start talking about neighbors, and who were with whom. And kids are like sponges. When Sakura, after a tea party with Pushkin, start asking Oda and you, if your neighbor really doesn't know, who is the father of her children, and what clients she brings home, you two almost strangle Pushkin. He isn't allowed to interact with kids without supervision.

Who aren't allowed to join at the same time:

Karma, Fyodor and Guiding Light

Because, when Shinji invite you three, that happened:

Everyone: drinking tea

Shinji: talking to you I am so glad, that you three start spending time as family. Finally, you and Fyodor stop neglecting your son Karma.

You, Karma and Fyodor almost chocked on your teas. It takes five minutes for your three to start breathing normally.

Karma is scared and try to hide behind his tea cup.

Fyodor never looked that shocked before. He is looking at Shinji, but can't form a single word.

You were just trying to say something.

You: "Wh... Who? Us... Our? Whom?... Wh... What..? Karma? Ours..?"

Shinji: didn't realize, that situation became this Yes! You wanted to save Karma, and Fyodor did it. You two saved him. Like Oda saved us. So, he is yours now.

Tea party come to an end. Karma couldn't look at you or Fyodor for a week.

Osamu and Nikolai, who, somehow, learn about this situation, were teasing you and Fyodor about, who will be 'stay at home parent' and who will be a 'breadwinner' for the two weeks.
