Shogo Yano & Daiki Hamano (Voice Newtype Vol. 77 2020)

矢野 奨吾 & 濱野 大輝 A new step “New Stage Episode” series that the 6th year “Idolmaster SideM” takes. The 1st and 2nd instalments, which decorate the opening, are a seemingly dangerous pairing of a healthy lamb and a hungry beast! Mofumufuen’s “Wonder x Marching!” is a song that makes you feel happy. Yano: It’s also connected to the drama part where the three of us try to convey the appeal of toys.…

Tsurune Character Songs Album Translations - Growing Up

Text of translation below cut

Our shadows side-by-side in a dusk-dyed town

Are days we take for granted

It’s nearly all changed since that time

But just as always, I'm by your side

You stubbornly try to shoulder everything

I have to support your bluffing back

No matter how much we clash

No matter how well our hearts understand each other

We surely feel like we can't give in

(That's so like us)

Because we don’t want to lose

Even if I feel in your back the reason I can take comfort

At that moment I knew the strength of your heart

Before we knew it, our elongated shadows

Both took on different shapes

Every part of us that’s growing

Strengthens the things they connect

Always pulling you by the hand so you won't stray

The answer we'd decided on is just like that day

No matter how much time passes

No matter how much we play at being adults

The two of us surely won't change

(That's so like us)

The doubts I've been harboring in my chest

Will clear up before I notice because you're watching over me

Honestly, I know that

Somehow we're similar in that we're opposites

I've been watching your gentle strength from by your side

The feelings we can't put into words

No matter how much they clash

No matter how much our hearts understand each other

Because they surely won't give in

(That's so like us)

Even if we keep our distance, I want to get over that someday

Our overlapping hearts cry out

"I don't want to lose!"

Tsurune - Amatsu Hoshi Matsuri Event

I attended the Tsurune seiyu event on Sept 3rd, both session noon and afternoon.

I'll try to write detailed reports here and I'll post some of the live reading drama on my privatter. Follow me on my twitter (angelic1408) and I'll add you to the list to view my privatter

I'll use seiyuu name instead of character name

Uemura Yuto (UY): Minato

Ichikawa Aoi (IA): Seiya

Ishikawa Kaito (IK): Kaito

Yano Shogo (YS): Nanao

Suzuki Ryota (SR): Ryouhei

Asanuma Shintaro (AS): Masaki

Ono Kensho (OK): Shu

FukuJun (FJ): Nikaido

Please note that EN is not my first language so it's hard for me to put my thought into words.

The event have 5 corner:

Opening

Talk Session (Noon theme: What scene do you want to see once again? Afternoon theme: What's scene that makes you respect your character)

Game Session (Noon: putting ring to a stick -anime S2 ep 13- Afternoon: Eating Takoyaki game)

Live reading drama Session (both session had different scenario)

Closing

For noon talk session, each seiyuu is asked which scene they want to watch again:

UY: Coffee can scene that Minato received from Fuwa during the joint-camp

IA: During vs Kirisaki, when Seiya keep missing the target and his back is being supported by smol Minato

SR and AS: Kazemai girls match

YS: Kazemai boys eating udon together. Yano-san thinks this scene is interesting because Kazemai supposed to train their sync, but even for eating udon, all 5 of them have different personality.

IK: Kazemai and Kirisaki match side by side

OK: All Sae-chan reaction. Kensho-san said Sae-chan is like a key person that glued the Fujiwara family. She kinda bring Shu and his parents together. Also the wish that Shu write in his Tanabata tanzaku is also revealed in this event.

FJ: Tsujimine practise scene

The game they play on noon session is throwing a ring into a stick (like in the anime S2 EP 13). It's last man standing type of game. The rule is they have to follow an instruction when throwing the ring.

As a practise, they can throw the ring normally --> only Yano-san actually managed to put the ring into the stick

For first round, the action is they have to throw the ring after they got cheered by the audience.

Only Yano-san managed to put the ring on the stick again. Kensho-san and Ichikawa-san missed the target, but they're being forgiven because at least the ring were in the board.

Yano-san, Kensho-san, and Ichikawa-san proceed to round 2. This time, the action is to get cheered by their name

Asanuma-san suggested to use the nickname when they were in High School. So for Ichikawa-san it's Ittchi, Yano-san is Yanoooon, and Kensho-san is Onocchi. Kensho-san and Yano-san proceed to Final

The action they have to do for the final is to throw the ring without seeing and both of them actually did not make it. So FukuJun picked up Kensho ring and put it manually on the stick, making OnoKensho is the winner for the game.

He get a mini kaiten sushi set as a present.

Here's the most awaited part of the session:

Reading Session - Noon Part 1

follow me on twitter and I'll add you on the list

An ode to Given

A few days ago the internet collectively freaked out - myself included - when it was announced that the next chapter of Given would be the final chapter, ending its 10-year run. I'm honestly still in shock and while I'm trying to stay optimistic that maybe the big announcement that's coming with the final chapter will involve some kind of sequel, a second season of the anime seems more likely. It's difficult coming to terms with the fact that I may have to say goodbye to a series that I love so much, and with an ending that I most likely will not find satisfying. Regardless, Given has taken up a huge space in my heart for the past two years and I just wanted to write about how I found it, my experience with it, and what it means to me.

I've enjoyed manga and anime ever since I was in middle school, but toward the end of college I got too busy to keep up. Fast forward to years later in 2020, I was stuck at home during the pandemic and decided to dive back in. After rewatching a BL anime that I really liked in high school, Given came up as a suggested series. A quick Google search told me that it was a great romance story between boys in a band, cool.

The first episode starts with Mafuyu's melancholy monologue about the dream he keeps on having and I see right off the bat that I've signed up for a bit more than a cute love story with music. Then the opening song Kizuato hits and I'm totally captivated. It's probably one of my favorite opening sequences and truly captures the feel of the series with its hard-hitting instrumentals, Cenmilli's emotional vocals, and the moody art.

The series pace is on the slower side but there was enough drama and intrigue to keep pulling me in, and it's full of comedic gold. And then... episode 9, A Winter Story. It shook me to my core, everything about it was absolutely amazing. Ue's talk with Mafuyu before the show where he admits that even he doesn't know what he is doing or how to express himself, all he knows is that he loves Mafuyu's sound. The song itself, interspersed with flashbacks of Mafuyu and Yuki's relationship and Mafuyu's monologue (his "I'm lonely" is truly devastating, major props to Yano Shogo). THE KISS. A genuine surprise, so quick and so gentle from inexperienced Ue. I had to watch the episode twice because it left me in complete awe and I needed to experience it again. Then episodes 10-11 were the perfect wind-down with a lot of cute and legendary moments, aka Ue experiencing increasing levels of gay panic. The series became an instant favorite and I rewatched it immediately. I can't find the words to properly express what it did to me but it just made me feel so many things, things I don't think I've felt for a long time. I couldn't shake it.

After that, I was still hungry for more Given so I read the manga, which is a totally different and wonderful experience. The art is beautiful, and the way Kizu-sensei portrays emotions through the characters' facial expressions is unparalleled. Soon after that, the movie came to Crunchyroll, and I've been keeping up with the series in every form since. I read the chapters as they come out bi-monthly. I watched the drama adaptation (not great but not the worst I've seen). I watched the OVA many times (my favorite, all the precious RitsuMafu moments I was missing from the movie). I splurged on a second-hand DVD set of the stage play (really well done). I even watched the anime dub (tolerable), and I hate dubs. Rereading and rewatching the series are routine. Safe to say, it's consumed me for two years and the flame has not died down one bit.

Lots of fans joke about referring to Given as our comfort series when it actually hits on a lot of heavy topics and has eviscerated our emotions on more than one occasion. But it truly is my comfort place. Just as I had finished watching the anime for the first time, I lost a very close friend to illness. This friend was a fellow anime/manga enthusiast and was probably the one who introduced me to the world of BL. Although she didn't watch Given, I like to think that it could have been something we would have enjoyed together if we had the time. And although the circumstances are different, I could relate to Mafuyu prematurely losing an important person in his life. Because the story is equal parts pain and healing, Given kind of provided me with a space where I could dump all of the emotions I was experiencing, whether they were happy or sad. It taught me about loss, grief, and above all, the way music and love can heal the wounds that these things have left behind.

I also have to speak separately about the music of Given, it's just so well done, with so much care and attention to detail. You can tell that Cenmilli worked closely with Kizu-sensei or really dived into the source material when working on the music. Every song created for the series relates very clearly to an event or element of the story. I could write praises upon praises for all of them, but some of my favorites include:

Fuyu no Hanashi, for obvious reasons. Yano Shogo's raw vocals are haunting and the guitar riffs are insanely cool. The way the lyrics change from Mafuyu being stuck and unable to say goodbye in the first chorus, to finally moving forward despite that in the last chorus, show that he's getting the closure he needed.

Kizuato - The lyrics perfectly express the series' tagline "can't say goodbye, I'm still drifting with your echoes." And the pre-chorus is so, so good.

Hetakuso - A simple but insanely sweet song that is definitely Mafuyu's response to Ue's admission that he is bad at expressing himself. I squealed when I saw the lyrics mention "covered by the heat of summer" and "not being afraid of the next winter" in reference to the two of them.

Bokura dake no Shudaika - As I read the lyrics, I can't tell if the song is referencing Akihiko and Ugetsu's relationship or Akihiko and Haruki's (maybe it's both), but I actually like that ambiguity. I also love how it beautifully incorporates the violin as a salute to Aki and Ugetsu.

Uragawa no Sonzai - I know Mafuyu is singing the song but I like to think of it from Ue's perspective. He is aware that there is a side to Mafuyu that he doesn't know, his past, a time when he cried, a person he cried over. But he embraces this "existence on the other side" as a precious part of the person he loves and vows that he will fill up for what the other is lacking, and vice versa. I'm crying.

Now that the series is coming to an end, I don't know what I'll do with myself. If it's truly ending for good, I do have my complaints, but I'll save that for another time. No matter what though, Given is solidified as one of my top anime/manga series of all time, and I'm sure I'll keep revisiting it over the years even after it's finished. It's given me so much - joy (RitsuMafu soft moments are my serotonin), sorrow (Strawberry Swing, anyone?), laughs (too many to count), and some of my favorite music - and for that, I'm incredibly thankful.

Given Episode 9

A Winter Story by Sato Mafuyu (CV: Yano Shogo)

[beautifulbutdoomed]

I'm still recommending listening to the drama CD version. But I'm just more into manga and drama CD than an actual anime even though it's quite good too. I posted the song a few years ago once my drama CD copy arrived. Seiyuu who sings there is different because in anime there is Shogo Yano and in drama CD it's Saitou Souma. This is the post!

i wasn't obsessed with yorugaakeru when i first heard it(was focussing more on the dialogues in between). but I don't think any song has grown more on me than this one. it literally does give me hope during my dark days/when everything looks bleak. the moment where mafuyu says "it'll be okay" feels comforting and life changing everytime. i wonder if the song writers know that the song has reached people outside the fictional world too.

Tsurune Character Songs Album Translations - Ari no Mama de

Text of translation below cut

So that we can smile through anything

Let's set out as we are

Every day is too hectic

Another new morning comes

If we see each other, we give our usual greetings

Just be yourself, and always smile

"Tangible things aren't everything"

It gets across even if I can't put it into words

Your heart, so close it's strange

Always stays warm

In these days turning round and round, if we can stay the same

We can walk even the roughest of roads

Don't count only the things you can't do well

Let's always notice the small joys

Like sunflowers swaying in the breeze

Strongly and straightforwardly

I face the light of the sun and grow to any lengths

I just wanted to chase after the same scenery

Every time you learn something new

There are things that trip you up, but

Everyone knows about your earnest strength

How you get back on your feet without giving up

Before I knew it, right in that spot lit by the sun

Your kindness envelops me in a bond

"No matter what, your heart is fine just as it is"

May I never forget those words

In these days turning round and round, onwards in a new direction

I hope tomorrow's clear and sunny too

Don't count only the things you aren't good enough at

Let's set out step by step into each precious day

As we are
