When I heard that the sequel <em>2202<\/em> would be produced, I was very happy. The passion of the staff and the viewers became the next link.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"textBlue\"><em>Kamiya:<\/em><\/span> I started participating with <em>2202<\/em>. I play Klaus Keyman, a young man from Garmillas. In Chapter 2, <em>Launch Chapter<\/em>, the highlight is how carefully we see the thoughts of the crew , and the people who stay on Earth, before <em>Yamato<\/em> takes off into space. There are many things I can&#8217;t say about Keyman at this time\u2026I don&#8217;t always know what he&#8217;s thinking. I think you just have to see it for yourself.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"textBlue\"><em>Suzumura:<\/em><\/span> Keyman has a lot of secrets, doesn&#8217;t he? I don&#8217;t see any similarities between Hiroshi and Keyman. They aren&#8217;t similar. But if I was in charge of casting, I wouldn&#8217;t think of casting anyone but Hiroshi Kamiya.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"textBlue\"><em>Kamiya:<\/em><\/span> Both Daisuke Shima and Kenichi are very theoretical. Nevertheless, he also understands passion. This is not limited to <em>2202<\/em>, but I&#8217;m blessed with the co-stars I work with, and we&#8217;ve been acquainted for a long time but we&#8217;ve never talked about each other&#8217;s acting.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"textBlue\"><em>Suzumura:<\/em><\/span> It&#8217;s been zero!<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"textBlue\"><em>Kamiya:<\/em><\/span> When I hear Kenichi&#8217;s voice, of course I recognize it immediately. Although he&#8217;s played many heroic characters, the side of him that&#8217;s like Shima is also solid. It\u2019s not with a feeling of hot-bloodedly yelling \u201cagh!\u201d, but theoretically weaving the sounds. This may not be a good way to say it, but though he has a very versatile voice, I think it&#8217;s unique. A one and only.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"textBlue\"><em>Suzumura:<\/em><\/span> I&#8217;m glad to hear that I have some individuality. As for me, I never thought I had any personality in my voice. But in the same way, when I hear voices on TV I recognize Hiroshi Kamiya immediately. He&#8217;s really amazing. The most recognizable voice actor in the anime I saw as a child was <a href='http:\/\/www.animenewsnetwork.com\/encyclopedia\/people.php?id=508'>Masako Nozawa<\/a>. If there is a voice actor who is the Masoko Nozawa of our generation, one who will be imitated someday, I think it could be Mr. Kamiya.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"textBlue\"><em>Kamiya:<\/em><\/span> The <em>Yamato<\/em> site is really fun. There are lots of veterans and young people, and those of us in the middle can act the most freely. There&#8217;s a feeling of tension unique to <em>Yamato<\/em> when veterans are in the room. I&#8217;m happy to be part of it. We all feel it under our skin.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"textBlue\"><em>Suzumura:<\/em><\/span> Various veterans like Unshou Ishizuka in the part of Ryu Hijikata are very convincing from just their posture alone. I think what comes out of that is a really unique personality, and because it&#8217;s natural it&#8217;s just amazing. Speaking of which, our star Daisuke Ono is more tense than we are. (Laughs)<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"textBlue\"><em>Kamiya:<\/em><\/span> He usually sits quietly with the veterans, but he&#8217;s a good chairman, too.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"textBlue\"><em>Suzumura:<\/em><\/span> I&#8217;d like to be as good a chairman as Ono. It&#8217;s wonderful.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"textBlue\"><em>Kamiya:<\/em><\/span> This time the <em>Yamato<\/em> crew rebels against Earth and starts on a voyage. Kenichi, did you ever do something in defiance of someone?<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"textBlue\"><em>Suzumura:<\/em><\/span> I guess with food. Even if it is said, &#8220;This shop is pretty good,&#8221; I always go to the shop and decide for myself. However, most of the shops are &#8220;pretty good&#8221; after all. (Laughs)<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"textBlue\"><em>Kamiya:<\/em><\/span> I get souvenirs. If I&#8217;m in hot water with the office, I&#8217;ll buy something for them even if a shopkeeper says, &#8220;Do you need that much?&#8221; I&#8217;ll say, &#8220;It&#8217;s fine, it&#8217;s fine.&#8221; And they say, &#8220;Sorry about the extra baggage.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"textBlue\"><em>Suzumura:<\/em><\/span> Chapter 2 of <em>2202<\/em> is coming out this time. The great thing about <em>Yamato<\/em> is that you can see it as the latest SF, a very passionate and universal thing. I think it&#8217;s a work where anyone at any age can gain the strength to confront something.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"textBlue\"><em>Kamiya:<\/em><\/span> Anyway, I think &#8220;there&#8217;s no harm in looking at it.&#8221; Please check out the new launch of the historic <em>Yamato<\/em> for yourself!<\/p>\n<p><a href='https:\/\/www.ourstarblazers.com\/vault\/226a'>Return to the index<\/a><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ourstarblazers.com\/vault-images\/oct17\/257a02.JPG\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-24082","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ourstarblazers.com\/vault\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24082","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ourstarblazers.com\/vault\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ourstarblazers.com\/vault\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ourstarblazers.com\/vault\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ourstarblazers.com\/vault\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24082"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.ourstarblazers.com\/vault\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24082\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":25777,"href":"https:\/\/www.ourstarblazers.com\/vault\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24082\/revisions\/25777"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ourstarblazers.com\/vault\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24082"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ourstarblazers.com\/vault\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24082"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ourstarblazers.com\/vault\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24082"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
