On March 10 (today), the online magazine "Animate Times", founded by Amway, which claims to be Japan's largest chain of boutique sales of animation, comics, games and their peripherals, published its interview with the three leading voice actors of "You and Idol Pretty Cure".
A shining bond formed through "You and Idol Pretty Cure♪"! "Idol Angel/Sakura Uta" Matsuoka Misato x "Angel of Charm/Aokaze Nana" Takahashi Minami x "Heartbeat Angel/Purple Rain Heart" Takamori Natsumi talk about the charm of the work
The 22nd work in the "Pretty Cure" series, "You and the Idol Pretty Cure♪" (abbreviated as "You and the Idol"), is currently broadcast on ABC TV and TV Asahi's 24 stations nationwide every Sunday morning at 8:30.
Episode 6 describes Zi Yuxin's "inner world", focusing on her wavering emotions between aspirations and reality. And in episode 7, the "Heart-beating Angel" is finally born...?
This time, we invited Matsuoka Misato, who plays "Idol Angel/Sakura Uta", Takahashi Minami, who plays "Charming Angel/Aokaze Nana", and Takamori Natsumi, who plays "Heartbeat Angel/Purple Rain Heart", to share their expectations for episode 7, the charm of the work, their experience in character creation, and the various emotions they felt through "You and the Idol".
The bond between voice actors through "You and Idol"
Decorationplay Nana Aokaze／Angel with charming eyes・highHashiminami(hereinafter referred to as Gaoqiao)::
When I first heard about the theme of this series, I said to my agent, "It turns out that "Pretty Cure" has never done an idol theme!" Because the series has previously had themes such as cooking, doctors, and even the universe, the scope is so wide that people would think, "Is there anything that hasn't been done before!?" So this time really surprised me.
Decorationplay Purple Rain Heart／Heartbeat Angel・Natsuomi Takamori(hereinafter referred to as Gaosen)::
That’s right! This concept hits the nail on the head with fans' debate: "Can Guangmei and idols really be together?" "No, the possibility is actually very high." Some people may think, "It's finally here!", while others may sigh like Gao Minai, "I haven't done it yet!"
Playing Sakura Uta / Idol Angel・Miri Matsuoka (hereinafter referred to as Matsuoka):
My feeling is closer to "This has never been done before!" In the past, I felt that Guangmei had an idol temperament, but this time she clearly combined the two, which felt very fresh.
Gao Sen: Especially the dance in the ending song, which further strengthens this impression.
Matsuoka: right! In the past, watching Guangmei’s performances was like watching an idol’s performance. This time, the two are directly connected, which is really great!
-Ms. Matsuoka, have you ever actually been to Mitsumi's stage performances?
Matsuoka: Been there! When I was a child, I often went to Toei Cinema Park in Kyoto, where there was the Kōmi Stage. The first one I watched was "Pretty Cure", and later I also often watched "Pretty Cure: Sweet Angel!" 》performance.
Takahashi & Takamori: Wow~!
- Which series were you watching at that time?
Matsuoka:
Actually, I have watched every series, so I can’t remember clearly, but the one I first got into was "Pretty Cure". The one that left a deep impression on me was "Pretty Cure: Sweet Angel!" 》stage performance. However, since I go to the film village regularly every year, I must have seen a lot of works from different series.
- It's like receiving "fan service" from various Mitsume characters since childhood! But now it’s my turn to be the one providing fan service.
Matsuoka:
Really! What kind of mood would you be in now? Super looking forward to it!
High Bridge:
Maybe in the future, a "second Matsuoka" will be born in Uzumasa Film Village (laughs).
- This interview was conducted before the animation was aired, but the good relationship between the three of them could already be felt. It was also mentioned at the press conference that you cut a cake together to celebrate. The cake was prepared by Ms. Takahashi, right?
High Bridge:
That’s right! At first, it was Ms. Natsumi who suggested, "This is a rare opportunity, let's have a meal together! But it's not convenient to chat outside, so come to my house~" Then I thought, celebration must include cake (laughs).
Gao Sen: We all opened delicious juice and ate delicious snacks together.
Matsuoka: There are also dishes made by Ms. Natsumi herself! It's really heart-warming!
Gao Sen: Huh? What did you do? (laugh)
Matsuoka: She made broccoli salad!
Takamori: Oh, that’s right! But most of the ready-made side dishes were bought by her (laughs).
Takahashi: Everything was delicious, and I was very satisfied with the cake. As a result, I accidentally forgot to eat the sherbet that Ms. Natsumi made herself (laughs). I want to go again next time!
Gao Sen: It has been kept in the freezer. I must eat it next time!
- Have you all had experience performing in the "Pretty Cure" series? Ms. Takamori played Mimi in "Delicious Party♡Pretty Cure" during the epidemic. So you must feel particularly touched to be able to interact like this?
Gao Sen: That’s true. It was difficult to gather all the members at that time... In fact, my first participation in the "Pretty Cure" series was the previous work "Genki Magic♥Pretty Cure" (playing the role of Gao Meiyi). The recording was during the pandemic, so I have never experienced "Pretty Cure" recorded by all the cast together.
Therefore, this is the first time that I can dub together with all the voice actors. How can I describe it... I deeply felt that "this joy is so precious." It is really a blessing to be able to act while listening to everyone's voices and feeling the shouts of the characters' transformation on the spot. Most of the recordings in "Food Party" were done alone with the fairies and little Mary (Mr. Tomoaki Maeno who played Rosemary), but it was rare for me to perform with my partner (Ms. Hishikawa Kanae who played Yui Kazumi/Treasure Angel).
- I guess this experience is completely different from the past and is particularly fulfilling?
Gao Sen: Yes. However, "Food Party" itself is also a fun work. Because the theme is food, we still make plans to "eat together when we have time~!"
Matsuoka & Takahashi: Great!
Takamori: We hold food gatherings regularly (laughs).
-By the way, everyone's outfits today are also very cute. Are the accessories specially matched as a set?
Gao Sen: That’s right! The ribbons on my feet were prepared by Misato, the earrings were chosen by me, and the ring was bought by Gao Minai. Although ribbons were originally used as hair accessories, today they are especially used to decorate shoes.
Takahashi: Today, Natsumi can be said to be in her "perfect form".
Takamori: It is the "perfect body of the heart"!
Everyone: (laughs)
- When were these gifts exchanged?
Matsuoka: I should be the first one, right? Because bows are an important element in "Idol Guangmei", when I first recorded a toy commercial, I bought the same ribbons and gave them to everyone.
Takahashi: I was so moved at the time that I wanted to give something in return. It turns out that Miss Natsumi has the same idea as me...
Takamori: Later, when we had a party at my house, they gave us heart-shaped accessories on the pretext that “we’re idols.”
--I see! I thought the earrings and ring were originally designed as a set.
Takahashi: Actually, I have a jewelry store that I collect. From the designer's works, I selected a ring that matched the character's representative color. Coincidentally, Miss Natsumi bought the same series of products.
Gao Sen: Yes! I also chose the work of the same designer. Because the color selection is so rich and cute, the process of choosing the color that represents everyone is so fun. I didn't expect Takamina to have the same one, so I was so surprised and said "Wow!" (laughs)
I hope to render the unique color of "You and Idol"
- Ms. Matsuoka in the previous work "Wonderful Pet Pretty Cure!" 》He voiced the Shining Rabbit in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". Did you participate in the recording of the final handover scene? (The final episode of the interview had not yet been aired at the time)
Matsuoka: Yes, I participated in the recording. "Wonderful Pet" is a scene full of warmth. The theme of the work itself is "bond", and this atmosphere naturally flows between the voice actors and staff. I couldn't help but think, "It's because of these friends that I can do this." I hope that "You and the Idol" can also shine with its own colors in the animation. In this way, I will surely be able to convey the feeling of "Shine for you☆".
- What style do you think "You and the Idol" will present?
Takamori: I think it will be a work full of joy.
Matsuoka: I think so too! I could feel that everyone was having fun while participating.
Takahashi: The scene was really warm. Sometimes people who had just finished recording their parts would say, "Let me take a look at the test footage before I leave," and stay. I can strongly feel the passion of everyone working together to complete the work. It's not just the Guangmei members, the same is true for the villain camp as well. For example, Mr. Hiroki Yamada, who plays Katie, would proactively say, "That was really interesting!" and "I want to watch the follow-up recording before going back today." The overall atmosphere was very harmonious.
Gao Sen: That’s right. The villain team performed with great devotion and joy.
- I'm also looking forward to the performance of the villain camp.
Takahashi: They are really awesome. Although everyone had a lot of fun during the recording, they were also very aggressive when it came to showing their villain strength, while also being a little cute.
Matsuoka: He gives off the impression of being a villain that's hard to hate. Even though they are a little silly and sometimes quarrel, I really like the scene where they say "Then I'll do it!", play the villain handsomely, and then exit in a funny way. I laughed when I watched it, it was a bit like the Durumbu Party style of "Little Twins"...
Gao Sen: Yes, yes! There is a female cadre and the trio forms a delicate balance (laughs). It also has a bit of an American comics vibe, but still retains the handsomeness that a villain should have, and is very fun to watch!
Meet the destined Pretty Cure
- Ms. Takahashi once appeared in "Passionate Shining! She voiced Yuuna Yamabe in Pretty Cure.
Takahashi: I originally thought that would be my last time participating in the Pretty Cure series.
- But you revealed at the press conference that you had actually reserved a time slot for recording Pretty Cure.
Takahashi: Yes (laughs). Although I make time for it every year, I always fail to be selected, which makes me very sad. However, I really never thought that I would be able to perform as a member of Kwangmi again. This may be a little embarrassing to say - I was planning on auditioning for the last time this year.
Gao Sen: So this is the mental journey.
Takahashi: Yes. In fact, during the "Shine On" period, I performed privately with many good friends. For example, Ms. Hanamori Yumiri, Ms. Ishikawa Yui, Ms. Seto Asami, Ms. Hidaka Rina...it's like a "good friend group" (laughs). I am really happy to be able to integrate into that scene as Yuuna and live in the world of "Pretty Cure". Although I still feel unwilling inside, I also feel that "this year may be the last chance..."
However, I met the Pretty Cure of destiny. Perhaps it is because of past experiences that I can challenge this audition with the feeling of "a perfect ending".
Gao Sen: Yeah. It is precisely because of the accumulation of the past that Nana has become what she is today. The moment you've been waiting for has finally arrived.
Takahashi: I’m so happy. I really want to shout "Sorry to have kept you waiting!" Although I also enjoyed the role of Yuuna very much, I deeply felt that each series has a unique atmosphere. Although they are both from the series "Pretty Cure", they each contain different colors. Since the two seniors were deeply involved in the production of the series, they must be able to look at the work from a more unique perspective, right?
Gao Sen: Don’t say that. I really resonate with the point that “only by participating in it personally can you experience it.” Actually, I was super nervous when recording episode 6 yesterday, and my voice pitch unconsciously went up during the sound check (laughs). It's been a long time since I've experienced this level of tension! For the first time, I realized, “This is how it feels to be at home!”
Takahashi: I was also very nervous when I was playing the home role. During the first transformation scene in episode 3, I was so nervous that I couldn’t even read the words in the script (bitter smile).
- The transformation scenes are always shocking. It must be a special experience for voice actors, right?
Matsuoka: "How can it be so dazzling?" I am stunned by the light every time I see it. I like this scene so much that I replay it several times.
Takamori: The transformation scene really makes me cry. The expression at that moment is so perfect! The opening and ending credits were also fascinating, and I kept rewinding and pausing during V-check (laughs).
Matsuoka: The animation production standard is very high, right? There is no end to the conversation! The ending song "Trio Dreams" makes you feel like you are watching an idol concert, the sense of presence is overwhelming. The three people's distinct personalities are reflected in their dance steps and micro-expressions, making people want to follow along in front of the TV and CALL & RESPONSE (laughs).
Gao Sen: I understand. The characters' subtle movements and expressions, which have a sense of improvisation, are full of the "liveliness" unique to concerts. Like “So this is the expression of a seductive angel!” It’s so fun to keep discovering new details!
- The opening theme song is "キミとアイドルプリキュア♪ Light Up!" sung by Mitsumi's exclusive singers Ishii Ami, Kumada Akane, and Yoshitake Chisa. 》. This time, the same trio format is used as the ending song, and the overall sense of magnificence and layering is even stronger!
Everyone: It’s really great!
Takahashi: The opening theme song gives the impression of condensing the essence of "You and the Idol" into one song. It completely fits my ideal version of "this is what a trio Mitsume song should be like!" and fully showcases the charm of the idol Mitsume.
Matsuoka: I totally agree! Although the ending song is more fashionable and great, the opening song is full of passion and brightness, and the lyrics really touched my heart! I especially like the line "It's OK to wear plaid with friends", and I can't help but shout "The best!"
Gao Sen: I understand! The lyrics written by Junyo Rokumi-sensei are really wonderful. In addition, MONACA's Hirokawa Keiichi was in charge of composing and arranging the music, so I was surprised and moved to hear that "MONACA is actually involved in Guangmei's production!" As for the exclusive songs for our three characters, they were composed by composers familiar from the Mitsurugi series, Shoko Omori and Misaki Uzumaki, to create a different atmosphere from the opening credits. Both the opening and the ending are full of unique appeal!
The little song gives me strength
- Ms. Takahashi and Ms. Takamori both mentioned the tension of the home return, and Ms. Matsuoka has participated in the transformation scene since the first episode. How did you feel at that time?
Matsuoka: At first I couldn't believe this was real. Because this was once a dream-like existence... Because of this, I was unable to generate the realistic feeling that "I am dubbing this character" and my thoughts could not keep up at all. I watched the video clips (for confirmation) over and over again, and then it dawned on me, "Oh, yes! This is what I want to dub! I have to confirm the number of seconds!" It was as if I was constantly torn between dreams and reality. Although I was quite nervous on the day...but after we started the test recording, the excitement overwhelmed the nervousness.
Gao Sen: C position, super reliable!
Takahashi: (Applause)
Matsuoka: But even I was surprised. I was obviously very nervous before, thinking "Can I really act well?" "Can I perfectly present Uta's cute expressions?" However, once the recording started, I suddenly felt that "Uta poured all kinds of elements in like a storm", and I could only concentrate on responding to this impact, and I actually enjoyed the process immensely. When I came to my senses, the recording had already ended. Even I find it incredible (laughs).
- The moment when tension is turned into joy during recording sounds really beautiful. It's almost as immersive as a live performance.
Matsuoka: I've never had such an experience before. I am the type who gets nervous easily when standing in front of a microphone. However, by playing the role of Xiaoge, I was able to thoroughly enjoy the atmosphere of the moment. I couldn't help but wonder, "Why am I enjoying this so much?" I guess it was because of Uta that gave me strength.
Takahashi: What a moving insight...
Gao Sen: I will follow you to the end!
Matsuoka: I will try my best! Please follow us! (laugh)
In my heart, "Mimi and I's dream has come true"
- The transformation scene of Ms. Takamori as the heart-beating angel is also exciting. The recording is about to start, right?
Gao Sen: Yes, my heart is beating very fast now. I have been imagining the transformation scene over and over in my mind...
- At the end of episode 6, Kokoro's admiration for Mitsume began to waver a little.
Gao Sen: That’s right. Because the actual actions of idols Guangmei are completely different from Xiaoxin's imagination (laughs). She had only known the glamorous side and had never expected that she would have to face dangerous battles. This episode was the turning point that made her realize that "what she admired was not an ordinary idol group, but 'Idol Mitsumi'." The story ends with "Xiao Xiao has not yet become an angel of love"...Please look forward to how she will adjust her mentality in the future!
But I guess, even if Xiaoxin becomes an idol, Guangmei, the feeling of "pushing" will not change. In her heart, the triple identities of light and beauty warrior, idol and fan will continue to coexist. I think it will be like "three-legged sandals" that play multiple roles at the same time (laughs).
- Is there some kind of resonance between Kokoro and Ms. Takamori?
Takamori: When I passed the audition for the role of Kokoro, I felt like "Kokoro has fulfilled my dream"... I also felt that Mimi's wish of "wanting to gain the power to protect everyone" was rewarded... Oh no, whenever the topic of Mimi comes up, I can't help but burst into tears (bitter smile). My eyes are starting to get hot again now, and I have to be careful to control my emotions - but the heart is really a very special thing, and it feels like she has fulfilled both of our dreams at the same time.
But this is just my personal subjective feeling. Although they belong to the same series, "Delicious Party" and "You and the Idol" are different works after all. But from the perspective of being involved in both works, I am deeply moved to be given the opportunity to realize my dream. How can I describe it... No, tears well up in my eyes when I talk about Mimi.
- At the previous "Delicious Party" thank-you ceremony, Ms. Takamori's speech was also heartbreaking.
Takamori: Although I was a fairy character who supported Mitsumi and the others, I cried so hard at that time (bitter smile).
- I remember you mentioned at the time that "after becoming a voice actor, I have always wanted to voice characters that support boys and girls in battle."
Gao Sen: Yes. Because I really like children's works, I always feel that I should play a fairy role in a "Pretty Cure" series. Also, although this is a topic about a different work, my debut work is actually "Jewelpet Twinkle☆". At that time, she played the protagonist Sakura Akira and learned a lot from her pet Ruby (CV: Saito Ayaka). It can be said that I was nurtured and brought up by Ms. Saito Ayaka (who also voiced Mao Fulun in "Pretty Cure!")... I benefited a lot from her acting skills and on-stage performances.
Precisely because he had been supported by his predecessors, he was more eager to interpret this type of role after accumulating experience, and at this time he received Mimi's invitation. Therefore, I felt that "I probably won't have the chance to play Guangmei again now, right?" To be honest, I even hesitated, "Am I still qualified to audition for Guangmei?" After all, Mimi's image is still vivid, and I'm worried that I will only be there to take the exam for a commemorative purpose. I participated in the audition with such a fear and trepidation, and now thinking about it, I have mixed feelings...
- I guess Mimi is also cheering for you. As a result, a new "dream" was realized.
Gao Sen: There is a real sense of joy in the fact that my family has grown stronger. It is a big family full of vitality and warmth, and the atmosphere is very harmonious. As I mentioned before, this was my first time recording "Pretty Cure" with all the cast members present, and I immersed myself in it with the feeling of "What a wonderful working environment!"
Let me pass this brilliant heart to you!
- The series director of "You and the Idol" is the director of the movie "Happiness Charge Pretty Cure!" The series composition and script will be written by Chiaki Kon, who participated in "Pretty Cure Movie: Heartbeat ♡ Game World Adventure!" 》 and many idol works are in charge of Mr. Yoichi Kato. Have you had in-depth communication with the production team?
Matsuoka: Although many staff members were present during the recording of the first episode, they were only there to say hello...but I could feel that everyone was pouring their faith and wishes into it, and was working hard to create a vision for the children. As voice actors, our responsibility is to fill in the last piece of the puzzle. Fortunately, this is also an easy job to get the message across to kids. I am really grateful to be able to convey the team's vision to the audience. But at the same time, I also feel a great sense of responsibility. "You must let everyone's thoughts reach your heart!"
Maybe words cannot fully express it, but I still sincerely want to convey this excitement to you!
Gao Sen: That’s not true. You said it very well.
Takahashi: Yeah.
－－That’s true. You mentioned "a position that is easy to convey the message", but since you are likely to be the "first idol" of children, this responsibility is particularly heavy.
Takahashi: That’s right. Because I may become the object of your admiration, I hope to become an existence commensurate with this expectation.
Gao Sen: It would be a great joy to be someone’s “first recommender”. However, I did not participate in the recording of the first episode, and in fact, I have not officially met the production team yet. I haven't even had the chance to communicate with Mr. Kato in person.
Takahashi: Me too. However, having worked with Mr. Kato on other works, I deeply felt that the idol images he created were very charming. Mr. Kato not only depicts the glamorous side of idols, but also portrays the struggles and human sides of the characters in an extremely moving way. Now, director Qianqiu has injected another excellent performance into this, and one can feel the seamless understanding of the team's cooperation.
Takahashi: Actually, when the recording session ended at the end of the year, the staff celebrated my birthday for me (Takahashi’s birthday is December 20th). I truly felt surrounded by warm people. The whole team is shining with "brilliant light~♪"! It is a real blessing to be able to create works in such a top-notch group.
Takamori: I happened not to participate in the recording of Takaminai’s birthday celebration... After listening to everyone’s sharing, I realized that I missed a lot of fun things (laughs). But you can feel that the production team is working with passion. At the same time, in order to ensure that the message is conveyed to the children, they also show an extremely serious attitude.
- What kind of "brilliance～♪" do you hope to convey to children through this work?
Matsuoka: I grew up watching "Pretty Cure" and I hope that its presence will never fade. Even if we go to karaoke now, the song "Guang Mei" is still the best way to liven up the atmosphere, and the lyrics and dance are naturally memorized by heart. Because these elements were deeply engraved in my heart back then. The pure wish of shouting "I want to be Guangmei too!" at that time is still invaluable today. Even if you grow up and face reality, your thoughts may no longer be the same, but that excitement will never fade away.
Nowadays, when children watch "You and the Idol", they will have the feeling of "I also want to be an idol Guangmei!", and it will definitely remain in their hearts forever. May this become a "time capsule" in their lives, and they will always remember their original intention of embracing this "brilliant and shining~♪". Please continue to shine for you!
- Children should be like Ms. Matsuoka and have the pure wish of "I want to become Mitsumi!" Every year on the Tanabata Festival, you can always see the wish of "I want to become a Pretty Cure" on the short notes.
Takamori: This year there will probably be a lot of wishes like “I want to be an idol angel!” and “I hope to become a seductive angel!” Just imagining it brings tears to my eyes.
Takahashi: I will definitely cry!
Takamori: But there might be some wishes like "I want to be an ambulance" mixed in (laughs). There are always some children who want to be objects.
Takahashi: I hope everyone can become what they desire! Of course you can! We will continue to support these dreams. In fact, we also gain strength from everyone's support, it's like we're having a "mutual cheering competition" (laughs).
Although we get energy from the support, it is "you" who truly illuminates us. Although idols are often considered to be "shining beings", that brilliance actually comes from the enthusiasm of their supporters. So whether it's Guangmei or idols, they all grow together with each other's support.
Gao Sen: That’s right! To use the concept of "pushing" as an analogy - Kokoro initially looked up to her idol Mitsumi from the perspective of a "fan", but later stepped into this world herself and experienced the exploration of "Why do I feel so excited?" and "What exactly is this feeling?" This is her important topic at this stage.
And now she will go from being pushed to being the pusher. I hope that the children who watch this can also feel that "I can shine brightly too." If you have a strong desire to love and support something, then that feeling becomes your own strength.
Takahashi: From the perspective of a charming angel, I hope to be a part of everyone's courage. Some children may not be the type who can burst out with energy instantly "bang!", but I hope that the introverted "you" can gain the "magic spell" of courage through this work. Although they are from different works, Sakura's line "It's absolutely okay" in "Cardcaptor Sakura" is still deeply rooted in my heart. Even after growing up, I still mutter to myself unconsciously when I feel uneasy.
Matsuoka & Takamori: Wow!
Takamori: This is Nanamoto...
Takahashi: That’s right! So when I heard lines like "A spell that gives you courage", "It will work if Uta-chan says so!", and "Absolutely no problem!" in the drama, I felt a strong resonance. It was as if the words that had been lodged in my heart for many years had been materialized through "Kamimi!" I hope everyone can get their own "Courage Spell" from this work. This is a work that can convey such a feeling.
- For example, in episode 6, when Uta says to Kokoro, "I want to dance with you one day," that is also a kind of courage spell, right?
Matsuoka: That part was really great. The amazing thing about Xiaoge is that those words are not deliberate, but are the natural expression of the sincere feelings.
Gao Sen: He is born with an idol aura.
Takahashi: And he has had this trait since he was a child!
Matsuoka: It really is an innate charm. Her gentleness, thoughtfulness and words all come from the pure throbbing of "brilliance" in her heart. I usually try to show my considerate side, but that's actually based on my self-requirement to "want to be seen as a gentle person"... However, Kota is different. Her mere existence can touch people's hearts and even become a turning point in other people's lives. I myself also hope to become such a person who "naturally inspires others".
Takahashi: Huh? But I think Matsuoka has done it. In fact, when I was recording the transformation scene in episode 3, I was so nervous that my mind went blank. I kept muttering to myself, "Is it really okay?" All of a sudden, Matsuoka said to me, "Your wink is great. Be confident!" These words gave me great courage.
Matsuoka: Eh eh——! Is there such a part? Super happy!
Takahashi: Those words gave me, as a charming angel and also as Takahashi Minami, my confidence back.
Matsuoka: If I hadn’t played the role of Uta, I probably wouldn’t have been able to say that… Ever since I was able to transform myself into “Idol Angel/Sakura Uta”, my previous bluffing and bravado has gradually transformed into a down-to-earth confidence. Plus, Ms. Takamina and Ms. Natsumi are always willing to give positive feedback, like "That was so cute!" and "You did a great job!"
Even my character solo song "Smiley Unison♪" was memorized by everyone and sang along. The support became a great source of courage and made me deeply realize that "I have gained so much from everyone." So I started thinking, "I need to convey the beauty I feel!" Perhaps that's why I was able to blurt out those words.
Gao Sen: Xiaoge is really amazing!
All: (Warm applause)
Matsuoka: I will continue to work hard in the coming year to make my light shine even brighter!
Please look forward to the moment when the heart-beating angel is born
－－Next is Chapter 7. You are all about to record this episode. Can you share what you hope the audience will look forward to and what you are looking forward to watching?
Matsuoka: As for the subsequent developments, we actually don’t know anything about it. But until episode 6, the two of them (Idol Angel/Seductive Angel) fought side by side, which was already very cool. From his stern expression, you can feel the strong will to "Definitely protect!" and "Definitely make you shine!" I’m really looking forward to how the battle scene will unfold after the three of them combine!
Takahashi: Of course, I am also looking forward to the collaboration between the three of us! I am also curious about the actions of the villain camp!
There is also the growth trajectory of Kota as an idol. She seriously ponders the true nature of the idol Guangmei, draws inspiration from the words of Kate (CV: Daisuke Sakuma) and others, and tries hard to think about how to bring happiness to those around her as an idol. Although I feel that she is a bit too strict with herself, which is worrying...but please pay attention to how she will find her own answers!
Gao Sen: What I really want to say is - please look forward to the moment when the heart-beating angel is born!
