Interviewer: Takumi Terui<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Asahi Shimbun is one of Japan's national newspapers, published by the Asahi Shimbun, with a circulation second only to the Yomiuri Shimbun. On October 26, the Asahi Shimbun published an interview with the voice actress Takamori Nazumi, who plays Kokoro Shigure\/Cure Kyun Kyun in \"You and Idol Pretty Cure\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Natsumi Takamori's \"Kimi to Kirakki Ran Ran\"<\/strong>rotten<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

A monthly series \"Kimi to Kirakki Ran Ran\" where the cast of the currently airing anime \"Kimi to Idol Precure\u266a\" (ABC TV\/TV Asahi Network, Sunday 8:30 AM) shares their thoughts. For the end of October, it's Natsumi Takamori, who plays Shiame Kokoro, the girl who transforms into Cure Kyun Kyun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kokoro is stoic about dance and is also the number one fan of the Idol Precure. Recently, she has been showing various expressions. First, let's start with the behind-the-scenes story of that episode where she showed an unexpected side...<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u25c7<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shall I tease him a bit!<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

I feel that as the KimiPuri episodes have surpassed 30, the range of emotions Kokoro-chan can express has expanded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The staff, including Series Director Chiaki Kon, accept the things we voice actors freely bring to the role. I think it's because we've gradually come to understand, over time, that it's such a supportive, open-minded set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, if I ask, \"Maybe this line should be changed a bit?\", sometimes they ask me back, \"What would Kokoro say?\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh, so it's okay for me to think about it? It's okay for me to think about Kokoro. That realization was quite significant for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I started thinking, based on my own free image of Kokoro, that I didn't want to limit her emotions or what she could do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In Episode 31 \"The Idol Precure Center\u2049\" (aired September 7), there was a scene where Kokoro asks the fairy Zachlin, \"By that logic, are you a Cure Wink fan, Zachlin?\" It was a scene where Kokoro teases Zachlin, who won't honestly say he's a Wink fan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I saw the broadcast, I was surprised to see for the first time that Kokoro-chan was provoking Zachlin with such a cute face, that she makes this kind of expression. During the dubbing stage, we often record while looking at the unfinished screen, so I hadn't seen Kokoro-chan's expression in this scene until it aired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The stage directions for this line didn't specifically say \"tease.\" There was also the option to ask in a more straightforward, matter-of-fact tone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, I felt that the accumulation of episodes up to that point had solidly built their relationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zachlin was once a member of the Chokkiri Gang and stole the Kirarira from Kokoro's mother. For Kokoro, if she wanted to dislike him, there were plenty of opportunities to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Zachlin himself got his Kirarira back. Kokoro-chan has a straightforward side to her, and now she accepts Zachlin as a comrade and works hard with him on fan club activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Also, among the cast members participating in KimiPuri, starting with Mr. Setsuji Sato who plays Zachlin, everyone has a sense of \"playfulness\" in their acting. I sometimes feel that if we were just being serious, we might lose out in some aspects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within that accumulation, I thought, \"Maybe Kokoro-chan can tease Zachlin?\" So, I tried saying that line in a tone that teased Zachlin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There hadn't been a scene before where Kokoro provokes someone, but I decided, \"Let's try teasing Zachlin!\" (laughs)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes, Mr. Kon and the others accept such challenges with an open heart and use them as is. Thanks to that, I think Kokoro's range of emotions appears broader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I'm glad I performed that way in an environment where I'm allowed to do things freely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It comes full circle here<\/strong><\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

I deeply feel that \"nothing is unconnected.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also feel a connection regarding my \"oshi\" (favorite) and the role of Kyun Kyun. Haven't I talked about my oshi before?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last time, did I only talk about Mr. Soji Itao? Ahahahaha (laughs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
