I really like the companion piece, To Every You I've Loved Before, but you have to watch this one first to fully understand that story.

To Me, the One Who Loved You is a 2022 Japanese animated film based on the novel of the same name by Yomoji Otono. It stars Hio Miyazawa, Aju Makita, Ai Hashimoto, Mutsumi Tamura, Kenji Hamada, Mie Sonozaki, Tomomichi Nishimura, Miki Mizuno, Kimiko Yo, and Tokuma Nishioka.

Voice Actors' Enthusiastic Chase Team

Special Coverage ● Yu ★ Yu ★ Hakusho Immediately after the final dubbing recording!!

Source: Animage Magazine vol. 200 (January, 1995). Photos by @kurodenwa2

In the photograph:

From the left in the front row: Nobuyuki Hiyama (Hiei), Nozomu Sasaki (Yusuke Urameshi), Megumi Ogata (Kurama), Yuri Amano (Keiko Yukimura) and Yuri Shiratori (Yukina & Puu).

From the left in the back row: Sanae Miyuki (Botan), Tomomichi Nishimura (Jorge Saotome & narrator), Hisako Kyoda (older Genkai), Hidenari Ugaki (various roles: Okubo, Kirenja, Makintaro, Touou), Mayumi Tanaka (Koenma), Shigeru Chiba (Kazuma Kuwabara) and Ai Orikasa (Shizuru Kuwabara & Koto).

The heat of the final episode as it is!! The studio is a whirlpool of tears and excitement

The last episode of "Yu Yu Hakusho" aired on the 7th of this month (January, 1995). Many fans may have burst into tears, saying: "I can't listen to this character's voice anymore!"

Therefore, we became avid voice actor fans at AMs and paid a visited to the studio right after the final recording of "Yu Yu Hakusho", which took place at Shinjuku Sound Control Studio on the 23rd of last year.

The recording session started at 10:00 AM and was over after noon. The studio was filled with wine and sweets brought by the staff, it was exciting. The voice actors, including Mr. Sasaki, who played the role of Yusuke, were in a variety of moods. Some people were still so excited that they couldn't help but involuntarily shed tears, while others laughed or felt sad as they talked about the episodes recorded. Of course, there were also those who drank wine without realizing that "Yu Yu Hakusho" was over... At first glance, it may look like a disparate group, but there was this teamwork cultivated over time in the place, filled with a warm atmosphere oozing from people with good relationships.

"A word about the feeling of this moment" was heard immediately after the end of the recording

In the studio where the recording has just finished, we asked the main cast members their impressions about "this moment when the recording is over". A farewell to the characters and their thoughts on "Yu Yu Hakusho", which they have been working on for over two years...I hope the readers will read these comments filled with love and reflect upon the afterglow of the final episode along with the voice actors.

Yusuke Urameshi ● Nozomu Sasaki

"I may be here again next week"

......"It's over", I don't feel it at all. I just think "oh, it's over", because everyone else is saying that and making a fuss.

Will I be back here next week? (I won't, no (laughs)). I came every week without fail. If I have another chance, I would like to do a work that can be performed seriously like this. Without getting caught up in "Yusuke", right?

Everybody, thank you very much for your hard work for the past two years.

Kazuma Kuwabara ● Shigeru Chiba

"I was happy to meet the fans"

Yaaaaaah, jeeeeez, it was a loooot of fun... because I didn't have to "study for the role", I could just build it from the ground up. The teamwork's warm was great and I was happy to have had many opportunities to interact with the fans at the events. I felt that all the fans were enlivening this work. Besides, I was able to have fun with the fans not only as the spokesman of the character, but also as the individual "Shigeru Chiba". This kind of opportunity doesn’t come everyday.

Hiei ● Nobuyuki Hiyama

"I liked Hiei"

In the last episode, my turn ends before the interim commercial and the last line is: "Hmph, it's up to me". As an actor, it's obvious that you want to have lines, but as Hiei, it's cool to end like that. I always liked Hiei who kept his own pace all the time, but when Yukina got involved, he would react with a "shiver".

I believe that a work is completed only after the curtain comes down. Now, "Yu Yu Hakusho" has finally become a "work of art".

T/N: Hiei's last line (episode 112), approximately 40 seconds before the mid-commercial.

Kurama ● Megumi Ogata

"So many things have happened..."

Saaaad!...I don't know what's going on anymore. Kurama's last line was: "So many things have happened, I can't even remember them all", and that's exactly how I'm feeling right now. The time between post-production and on-air is like when you throw a ball and there's a while before it comes back. I might be able to get my head around it by the time the last episode goes on air, but right now, I don't really feel that "it's over". To be honest, that's the "current feeling"...

T/N: Kurama's last line on the stairs at Genkai's Temple.

Keiko Yukimura ● Yuri Amano

"Keiko-chan's happiness is my happiness"

Two years seems to be a short and long time.......But, I'm really glad that Keiko-chan was finally able to be happy in the end. Yusuke came back from the Demon World, that was reaaaally great!

Then, one last word......(*ahem*)

"REALLY, YOU'RE SUCH AN IDIOT, YUSUKE!"

Thank you to all the staff and fans who supported us.

T/N: I've always loved how Keiko screams: "Baakaaaa Yusuke".

Botan ● Sanae Miyuki

I looove her! Botan is a "witty and stylish miss"

Yaaaah, it was good to play Botan. I could play an active role here and there and also make jokes (laughs).

The fact that "she's not human" was also a point. There is nothing sordid about her, she has a refreshing personality. But, this is what makes her so soft-hearted (laughs). She's just like an elegant and witty "miss" with an old-fashioned personality.

Anyway, I was blessed with two years of good work with my favorite character.

Master Genkai ● Hisako Kyōda

"I struggled with the gap between my own personality and hers"

Each one of the performers in this work was unique. It was a fortunate job. Master Genkai is always calm and plays a strict role, but I am actually a very scatterbrained person. That's why it was very difficult for me to give her a solemn feeling. I was consciously dropping my voice a few steps lower..... I have enjoyed working for the past two years. Thank you very much.

Koenma ● Mayumi Tanaka

"A work that makes me happy because there are many turns and gags"

Koenma is a character who doesn't appear too much in the original story, but in the anime, he appears a lot and I was happy to be able to have a lot of turns and do lots of gags. I was also happy that I was finally able to define Jorge's role, depicted in the script only as the "oni" (ogre), by continually calling him "Jorge" ad-lib.

I've made many mistakes in the past two years. I even broke my foot and also sprained it (lol). It's really hard to put into one word. A lot happened in those two years.

Jorge (oni)/Narrator ● Tomomichi Nishimura

"I had in mind to relax, but now I'm looking forward to it."

I took on this secret role as the "oni" as a way to relax, but it turned out to be a more active role than I had expected.

You couldn't tell that the narrator and Jorge were the same person, could you? fufufu. In the end, I was properly involved in the show and credited under the name of "Jorge", and tried to narrate the story as Jorge. I was also given the opportunity to disclose the secret.

Oh, it was a really interesting job.

T/N: Jorge reveals in Episode 111 that he was the narrator.

It's cool that Mayumi Tanaka (Koenma) was the one who named Jorge by calling him this way during the recordings. He was only known in the script as the "oni". Nishimura-san (Jorge) was also given the opportunity to tell the secret of the narrator at the end lol. I like how the voice actors contributed to the story by adding their own improvisation and interpretation. Let's not forget Togashi-sensei said in an interview that Shigeru Chiba understood the character Kuwabara better than him.

Source: Animage vol. 200, pp. 46-47 (1995). It's the February issue which is published in January.

There's also an interview with the main 4 and Yuri Amano (Keiko) in this magazine (pp.48-50). But, I'll translate it in another post.

熱烈的声優追跡団

特別取材●幽☆遊☆白書 最終アフレコ収録直後!！

最終話の熱気そのまま! !スタジオは涙と興奮の渦

今月7日に最終回を迎えた「幽★遊 ★白書」。「もうこのキャラクターの声を聞けない!」と涙をふりしぼったフ ァンも多いので��ないだろうか。

そこでAMで熱烈な声優ファンに成りかわり、去年の゠月23日に新宿・ 整音スタジオで行われた「幽★遊★白 書」の最終回アフレコの終了直後にスタジオ訪問をした。

午前10時から始まったアフレコも正午過ぎには終了。スタジオ内はスタッフが持ち寄ったワインやお菓子ですっ かり盛り上がっていた。 幽助役の佐々木さんはじめ、声優のみなさんの様子はさまざま。興奮もさめやらぬ様子で思わず涙をこぼす人もいれば、収録中のエピソードを語り合って笑ったり、しんみりしたりする人たちもいる。 もちろん「幽★遊★白書」が終わってしまった実感をもてず、淡々とワインを 飲む人も.…。 一見バラバラのように 見えていても、そこには時間に培われ たチームワーク、いい関係の人たちか らにじみでる温かい空気に満ちていた。

収録終了直後に聞いた 「この瞬間の実感を一言」

収録が終わりたてのホヤホヤのスタジオで、メイン・キャストのみなさんに 「ア フレコが終わってしまったこの瞬間」 の感想をきいてみた。 2年間かけて作って きた、「幽★遊★白書」 への思いとキャラクターへのさよなら......愛がいっぱいつまったこれらのコメントを読んで、読者のみなさんも声優さんたちといっしょに、最終回の余韻をかみしめてほしい。

浦飯幽助役●佐々木望

僕は来週もここに来るかもしれない

......「 終わった 」 という実感が全然湧かない。みんながああやって、大騒ぎをしているから 「ああ、終わっちゃったんだ な」 って思うだけ。

来週もここに来ちゃうかな? (来ない、ない(笑) )。毎週、欠かさず来てたもんね。また機会があったら、こんな本気で演じられる仕事をしてみたい。「幽助」 にとらわれることなく、ね。

ほんとうにみなさん、2年間お疲れさでした。

桑原和真役●千葉繁

ファンとふれあえてうれしかった

いやー、もうー、楽しかったなーっー「役作り」をしないで、そのまま地でやれたからね。あったかいチームワークもすごく良かったし、イベントでファンの人とふれあえる機会が多かったのもうれしかった。 ファンの人、みんなが作品を盛上げてくれる感じがしてね。それにキャラクターの代弁者としてで なく、「千葉繁�� 個人と��てもファンといっしょに楽しめたこと��な。そんな機会は滅多にないからね。

飛影役●槍山修之

そんな飛影が好きでした

最終回は中間コマーシャルの前で出番が終わるんですけど、最後のセリフが 「フン、オレの勝手だ」。役者としてはセリフが欲しいのはヤマヤマですけど、飛影としてはあれで路わるのがカッコイイ。常に、自分のペースをずっと保っているのに、雪菜が絡んでくると 「ピクッ」と反応する、そんな飛影が好きでした。

作品は幕が降りてはじめて完成するものだと思います。「幽★遊★白書」もこれでやっと「作品」になりました。

蔵馬役●緒方恵美

「いろんなことがありすぎて···」

悲し―っ！…もう何が何だが、よくわかんない。蔵馬の最後のセリフが 「いろんな事がありすぎて、 すべてが思い出せないくらいだな」なんですが、 今はまさにその心境。アフレコとオンエアの問って、ちょうど、 ボールを投げてもそれが戻ってくるまでにしばらく時間があるつて感じですよね。オンエアまでの間に気持ちの壁理がつくかも知れないけど、今はまだまだ全然「終わった」っていう実感がないのが、 正直なところ「今の実感」 です....。

雪村螢子役●天野由梨

螢子ちゃんの幸せは私の幸せです

2年間って短いような長いような......。でもとうとう最後に螢子ちゃんが幸せになれて、本当によかったと思います。

じゃあ最後に一言......(コホン)

「ユースケのバカアー本当にもう!」

スタッフのみなさん、それから応援してくれたファンのみなさん、ありがとうさいました。

ぼたん役●深雪さなえ

大好きーぼたんは 「小粋な姐さん」

いやぁ、「ぼたん」 役はいいでした。ここそというところで活躍できるし、ギャグもできるから (笑)。

「人間じゃない」 というところもポイントでしたね。ドロドロしたところがなくて、さっぱりしている。でもこれが情にもろいんだな (笑)。ちょうど昔かたぎの性格をしてる、小粋な 「姐さん」って感じでしょうか。

とにかく大好きなキャラクターと、いい仕事に恵まれた2年間でした。

幻海師範役●京田尚子

自分との性格のギャップに苦労しました

この作品は出演者のみなさんが、ともかくのひとりずつ個性的でしたね。幸しいお仕事でしたよ。幻海師範はいつも落ち着いていて、全体を締めていく役どころなんですけれども、私自身は本当はとてもオッチョコチョイな人なんですよ。だから彼女の重々しい感じを出すのは、実は大変なことだったんです。声も意識的に数段低く落としてやっていたんですけど…...。2年間、楽しいお仕事をさせて頂きました。ありがとうございました。

コエンマ役●田中真弓

出番もギャグも多くてうれしい作品

原作ではそんなに出てこないキャラクターなんですが、アニメでは出番も多く、ギャグもたくさんできてうれしかったですね。台本には「鬼」 としか描かれていない役をアドリブで 「ジョルジュー」 と 呼び倒し続け、ついに役として定義させるとができたのもうれしかったです。

この2年間いろいろ失敗もしました。この2年間いろいろ失敗もしました。足も折ったし、捻挫もしました (笑)。ほんとに一言では語れない。いろいろあった2年間でしたね。

ジョルジュ(鬼) 役 ナレーション役●西村知道

息抜きのつもりか楽しみになっちゃった

息抜きとして引き受けた秘役の鬼ですが、思っていたよりも活躍しましたね。

ナレーションとジョルジュ同じ人間がやっているなんて、わからなかったでしょ、ふふふ 。最後にはちゃんと番組の携わりに 「ジョルジュ」の名前でクレジットされたし、ジョルジュのままでナレーションをやってみたりして。

種あかしをする演出もしていただきましたし。ああ、本当におもしろい仕事でした。

4th wall destruction! I’m convinced that by the end of Yu Yu Hakusho, the production team were just having some fun with this show. Between the BL jokes and having Jorge break the 4th wall here (since his seiyuu Nishimura Tomomichi played both the role of Jorge Saotome and did the narration for each episode), there were quite a few of these random moments that were quite entertaining to watch!

I wonder what the wild dog reference was about. It seemed Kazune did not make that bit up?

Even though this is the superior story of the two, I recommend first watching the companion movie, To Me, the One Who Loved You, to fully understand the whole story.

To Every You I've Loved Before is a 2022 Japanese animated film based on the novel of the same name by Yomoji Otono. It stars Hio Miyazawa, Ai Hashimoto, Aju Makita, Mutsumi Tamura, Kenji Hamada, Mie Sonozaki, Tomomichi Nishimura, Fumi Hirano, Miki Mizuno, Kimiko Yo, and Tokuma Nishioka.

Celebrate Norio Wakamoto’s Birthday by Learning About the Man Behind the Iconic Voice!

  There are certain voices that resonate with us, leaving us with a sense of satisfaction or joy in hearing them over and over again. In anime, one of those voices is the soothing, deep voice of Norio Wakamoto, whether he’s rolling those R’s hard in comedy shows or chilling our bones in dramas, Wakamoto is truly one of the kings of voice acting. Since today is his 74th birthday, we thought it only fitting to pay some respects to the man behind hundreds of amazing character voices between anime and video games from as far back as 1977, and who is still going strong today! So come along with us and join in on wishing Norio Wakamoto a HAPPY BIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRTHDAY!

Born in 1945 in Shimonoseki and raised in Sakai, Norio Wakamoto started out life with a far more serious career in mind than voice acting; after attending Waseda University, Wakamoto joined the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department’s Anti-Riot Squad! Wakamoto is also a 3rd Dan in both Kendo and Shorimi Kempo, meaning that between his imposing voice and martial prowess, you could probably just imagine criminals cowering in fear when they heard him shout “halt!” Thankfully for the anime watching world, it seems that Wakamoto decided after some time to change careers, however, with his first credited voice role in Glacier Warrior Gaislugger as Onoriki in 1977. Since then, he’s gone on to voice countless classic roles, with some of his early work in titles such as Gunbuster (as Koichiro “Coach” Ota) and Legend of the Galactic Heroes (as Oskar von Reuenthal) cementing his role as one of the most versatile and unique voice talents in anime.  

You might be asking: “But what exactly makes Norio Wakamoto so special?” Well, it’s probably the style of speaking that he’s developed over the years as a voice actor; there’s really nothing else quite like it! Between the sharp and astringent quality of his voice and his ability to roll his R sounds (among other verbal tics), Wakamoto has a sound unlike any other voice actor; when you hear his voice, you immediately know it’s him! While he’s mostly played villainous, devious, or overly serious masculine characters, his unique vocal range has allowed him to play numerous comedic roles as well, some of which operate solely on the unexpected quality of his voice. While many fans may know him as “Coach”, Oskar, Cell, Vicious, and other roles, many more fans know him as the voice of everyone’s favorite badass delinquent: Mechazawa! And that’s not all; Wakamoto has lent his voice to various comedic character legends such as Chiyo’s Papa in Azumanga Daioh, Onsokumaru in Ninja Nonsense, and even just recently as Pipimi in Pop Team Epic, alongside fellow Dragon Ball Z villain Ryusei Nakao (Frieza) as Popuko, and as the greatest idol of all time, Shining Saotome in the Uta no Prince-sama series!

Perhaps even more stunning is just how long Wakamoto has been in our hearts as the voice of so many different characters, with his career hitting 40 years this year and still going! You wouldn’t be wrong to claim that Wakamoto is a generational voice actor either; probably every generation of anime fan has their first Norio Wakamoto memory or favorite role, whether it be Hellsing’s Alexander Anderson, Code Geass’ Charles Zi Britannia, Dragon Ball Z’s Cell, or the aforementioned “Coach”, there’s probably a Wakamoto for all seasons and ages out there. That said, some of his roles are famous for the enduring legacy for more comical reasons, such as a classic moment in which Sugita Tomokazu, Nakamura Yuuichi and Sakurai Takahiro played the Yu Yu Hakusho fighting game, trying to do their best Wakamoto impressions while all of them selected Chu.

When up and coming voice actors memorize your intonation and roles to such an amazing degree, you know you’ve likely left a deep impact!  Some other apocryphal Wakamoto lore is preserved on the internet, such as the time Wakamoto helped us all fall asleep by recording himself counting sheep! Originally recorded for a CD titled “Hitsuji de Oyasumi Bangai hen”, Wakamoto joined various other voice actors in recording themselves soothing listener’s thoughts as they attempted to drift off to sleep by counting sheep; if you ask us, Wakamoto’s is obviously the best!

Wakamoto isn’t just an anime voice actor though, as he’s done quite a few video game voices as well! Getting his start in 1991 reprising his role of Dekachu from Cyber City Oedo 808, Wakamoto debuted in video games on the PC Engine, and has regularly popped up in various games ever since. Besides reprising the voices of characters he played in their anime counterparts, one of Wakamoto’s most famous video game roles is that of Johnny from Arc System Works’s Guilty Gear series, the dashing sky pirate with the sultry voice! Johnny isn’t Wakamoto’s only famous fighting game role, as he also plays King of Fighters villain Rugal Bernstein as well! And, in Capcom’s Street Fighter IV and subsequent titles replaced Tomomichi Nishimura as the voice of M. Bison with that of Wakamoto, who continues to voice the character in newer incarnations of the game. Kingdom Hearts fans may know of Wakamoto as the voice of Xemnas, although you’d have to play the original Japanese versions to hear him! That said, there is one other role that you might not recognize Wakamoto in, as the most famous rendition of that character’s dialogue is forever memorialized in English. Who is it? None other than Castlevania’s Dracula, with Wakamoto playing the role for the first time in the now legendary Castlevania: Symphony of the Night in 1997. 

We hope that Wakamoto-san has had an amazing 74th birthday, and we can’t wait to share many more of them with him as he continues his voice acting journey. You never really know just where he’ll show up, and we’re sure that as long as he feels willing, we’ll all be able to hear his beautiful voice in many roles to come! If you want to give him a gift, practice rolling your R's while watching some of his classic roles, and see how your Norio Wakamoto impression stacks up! Happy Birthday, Norio Wakamoto!

The other week Nobuyuki Hiyama was a guest on Megumi Ogata’s AbemaTV show “Seiyuu to Yoru Asobi.” (Thanks to @thekazumakuwabara for tipping me off!) It’s his 30th anniversary since debuting as a seiyuu-- he was only 5 years into the business and 25 years old when he got the role of Hiei. The two talked about old projects and new, and of course YYH was brought up a bunch. 

Highlights:

-- They played the clip when Hiei and Kurama were first introduced, much to Ogata’s dismay. She retold the story mentioned in the Livedoor interview about that first session, and how she didn’t know which mic to jump in on to record. Hiyama did his best panicked impersonation of her and she defended herself reminding everyone it was her debut. 

-- They talked a little about the new OVA for Two Shots, and their feelings of, roughly, “It’s usually easy to return to a character, but these were the characters before we played them, so that was kind of hell.” They are looking forward to its release. 

-- Hiyama finds Hiei really funny, because although he has a certain “baddy” image to him, he’s actually quite chatty, especially in fights. He talks himself up so much, especially when he’s introduced, and Hiyama thinks that really stands out about his personality. 

-- They watched he promo video for the OVA together, which lead to the revelation that Tomomichi Nishimura, the narrator, was approached one day to play a nameless blue ogre. Naming him Jorge Saotome was a decision the seiyuu made himself on the fly with an ad-lib, and it stuck. They love him. In the preview, Jorge says, “I’m in it too!” which confused Ogata because she didn’t remember seeing him, but Hiyama says he was narrating Two Shots and is also featured in “Sink or Swim.”
