Anzen-Chitai<\/a>\u2019s guitarist Yutaka Takezawa. Before the recording, we talked about the interpretation of the lyrics and various other things, and they said, \u201cWe listened to a lot of your songs before we made this, so it was made to suit you. Sing it any way you like.\u201d Which was the opposite of pressure. (Laughs) <\/p>\nHowever, I don\u2019t have a singing technique or my own vocal style, so I just said I would sing it as I was told to. And they said, \u201cLet\u2019s make this a Yamadera masterpiece\u201d and \u201cPlease sing with feeling, as you do with your speaking roles.\u201d So I sang it with all my heart and Mr. Katsuki gave me huge praise when he said, \u201cIt\u2019s good!\u201d Mr. Takuzawa said, \u201cIt\u2019s great, I\u2019m impressed!\u201d I thought they were people who expressed their feelings often, but they both said, \u201cIn fact, we usually don\u2019t give much praise, and we thought it was really good.\u201d<\/p>\n
Of course, there were difficult technical parts, but I sang very comfortably. Anyway, I definitely sang it with care and feeling. For example, I\u2019m from Miyagi Prefecture, and when I went back to my hometown and talked to people after the 2011 earthquake, they said, \u201cPlease think of us when you sing.\u201d When I sang it, I thought about that scenery and my feelings overflowed. I hope that comes through, even just a little bit. When I sing, I put myself in a different place and motivation springs up in various ways. This time, I thought that rather than do that I\u2019d just trust the both of them and sing it with my own feelings.<\/p>\n
Interviewer:<\/em><\/span> How did you respond when they said, \u201cLet\u2019s make this a Yamadera masterpiece\u201d?<\/p>\nYamadera:<\/em><\/span> It\u2019s been a masterpiece since the day I finished recording it. (Laughs) But after that they put in the strings and various other things, and I\u2019m deeply moved by how wonderfully it was finished. I\u2019ve listened to it almost every day since I got the finished version. Also, I\u2019m a huge fan of the wonderful singer Koji Tamaki, and I started out by imitating him. Yutaka Takezawa has heard Tamaki\u2019s singing voice for many years, so when he said \u201cIt\u2019s good\u201d that made me really happy.<\/p>\nInterviewer:<\/em><\/span> When this song comes up in Chapter 6, it feels like a refreshing surprise. The melody isn\u2019t really Yamato<\/em>-like, but it feels like a good match to the flow of the story. How did you feel when you heard this song?<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.ourstarblazers.com\/vault-images\/dec18\/357a07.JPG\")
\nStills from the end title for Chapter 6<\/em><\/p>\nYamadera:<\/em><\/span> When I first heard it, I thought it was really good. The title is Great Sum<\/em>, which is a perfect fit for the present Yamato<\/em>, and it\u2019s a wonderful song. Yamato<\/em> is a profound story of the magnificent universe, but the song is accompanied by original landscapes of Earth and the landscape of my home, and the dichotomy is very good. You may think of Yamato<\/em> as a story of the grand universe far away from us, but conflicts between nations and trouble in familiar places are constant on the contemporary Earth, and human beings still don\u2019t understand what love and peace truly are. That\u2019s why I think it would be good for people to cozy up to this Yamato<\/em> story and this song. If you push back a little, the music can bring you some relief.<\/p>\nMasato Ibu and Koichi Yamadera, the two Desslers<\/h3>\n

<\/span><\/p>\nInterviewer:<\/em><\/span> You play Dessler in 2202<\/em>, and his past was depicted in Chapter 5. Now that his principles and sentiments are clearer, did that change your approach to the role? And was there any talk about the script beforehand with Harutoshi Fukui and Nobuyoshi Habara?<\/p>\nYamadera:<\/em><\/span> I\u2019ve been watching Yamato<\/em> since I was in 7th grade, and I was a big fan of Masato Ibu, who played Dessler in those days. When I started performing Dessler in Yamato 2199<\/em>, I played it while feeling a lot of pressure. In 2199<\/em>, Dessler was depicted more deeply than in the original work, and I was grateful for that. I don\u2019t think anyone expected that 2202<\/em> would be such a deep story. <\/p>\nIn fact, I got the first proposal book for 2202<\/em> that was written by Harutoshi Fukui, and in it was written the great concept of \u201ctwo Desslers\u201d that Mr. Fukui and Director Habara wanted to depict. These \u201ctwo Desslers\u201d are definitely revealed in Chapter 6, and I also thought I wanted to precisely depict the \u201clove\u201d in the title of this work. This \u201clove\u201d is not only the story of Yamato<\/em>\u2019s crew, of course, there is also the Garmillas side and Dessler\u2019s part of it, too. In that sense, my feelings changed after I read that proposal. I think it was good that Mr. Habara and Mr. Fukui were there at the recording so I knew what they wanted to depict.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.ourstarblazers.com\/vault-images\/dec18\/357a09.JPG\")
<\/p>\n
Dessler is shown at various ages in Chapter 5, and I was allowed to play him at all those ages except for early childhood, so I thought I should understand more about his feelings at those ages. It was difficult to perform those lines because of the various feelings that built up about the mother country of Garmillas, his opponent Yamato<\/em>, and being rescued by Gatlantis. Still, I was very glad to perform a Dessler that carried such a huge fate and destiny.<\/p>\nInterviewer:<\/em><\/span> Everyone has given you high praise in various interviews; Mr. Fukui, Mr. Habara, and Hiroshi Kamiya (Klaus Keyman).<\/p>\nYamadera:<\/em><\/span> Kamiya, too? Having him say that is a wonderful reward for me! By the way, since I didn\u2019t appear at the beginning of 2202<\/em>, I was surprised that his nephew Keyman has such a big presence. \u201cKeyman, you\u2019re a Garmillan on board Yamato<\/em>!\u201d (Laughs) <\/p>\nDessler was talked about in various ways in Chapters 5 and 6, but I\u2019m wondering what happens to Keyman. It\u2019s really amazing how packed this is with expectations for each character, isn\u2019t it? Dessler has such a complex background, and it\u2019s the same with all the other characters. Chapter 6 has many such highlights, and my friends Ayahi Takagaki (Saki Todo) and Megumi Hayashibara (Megumi Kanzaki) make a spectacular showing, too. I was surprised. (Laughs)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Interviewer:<\/em><\/span> In terms of the voice actors, Dessler\u2019s family was also quite extravagant. Takeshi Kusao as Mattheus Dessler, Kazuhiko Inoue as Erich Vam Dessler, Shoko Ikeda as Adelcia\u2026what was the recording like?<\/p>\nYamadera:<\/em><\/span> It was surprising. I was there with Kazuhiko Inoue and Shoko Ikeda. Yamato<\/em>\u2019s studio is not a small one, and there are so many characters, so it isn\u2019t unusual to see a lot of actors there. I was impatient to huddle with the old-timers in the corner. When I noticed them, I said, \u201cMr. Kazuhiko, Ms. Ikeda, you come here, too? Please do it more often!\u201d (Laughs) There are many generations at the Yamato<\/em> site, from the seniors to the young ones and there\u2019s always a feeling of tension, but the voice recording for Chapter 5 in particular was amazing.<\/p>\nInterviewer:<\/em><\/span> How did you change your voice from the young Dessler to the current Dessler?<\/p>\nYamadera:<\/em><\/span> Naturally, I practiced it a lot. I did a lot of trial and error at home. \u201cIs it like this?\u201d <\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.ourstarblazers.com\/vault-images\/dec18\/357a11.JPG\")
<\/span><\/p>\nAberdt is compared to his older brother Mattheus, who is a great person. Every word that is spoken becomes a reality. What would young Aberdt think about losing his mother at his age? The first thing I said was, \u201cMother\u201d at the graveyard. I thought it should have been someone a little younger. There was a sense of trouble, that if I couldn\u2019t perform it well, they might have to get someone else. But the director bet it all on me.<\/p>\n
The emotions and situation and condition of the voice at the moment are written neatly in the script. I play the modern Dessler while thinking about it within myself, but I couldn\u2019t play a young Dessler well that way. But I didn’t think it would smell right if someone else played him. If I thought, \u201cI\u2019m a little old for this,\u201d there were many experts around to divide up the role into different ages. But I thought, \u201cI can still cut it around here!\u201d I did it out of a single-minded desire to play Dessler alone.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t have as much charisma in my voice as Masato Ibu, but I have an important role that is deeply-depicted internally, so I wanted to do it even if it was difficult. But it would look worse to overdo it, so I kept a tight lid on it and dealt with the pressure. As one who performed every voice except for childhood, I wanted to divide it up by age difference for each year. I\u2019m often called a jack-of-all-trades and I\u2019m proud that I can change my tone, but you can\u2019t only do that. Properly preserving the role was the game. I was glad afterward that the Sound Supervisor Tomohiro Yoshida was able to say, \u201cIt has a good feeling\u201d but my heart was pounding so hard I almost threw up. (Laughs)<\/p>\n
![](\"https:\/\/www.ourstarblazers.com\/vault-images\/dec18\/357a12.JPG\")
\nDessler and Masato Ibu, 1979<\/em><\/p>\nInterviewer:<\/em><\/span> How did you deal with the challenge of inheriting the role from Masato Ibu?<\/p>\nYamadera:<\/em><\/span> I\u2019m a big fan of his, and I\u2019ve heard all of The Snakeman Show<\/em> [Ibu\u2019s comedy troupe]. Of course, I loved his Dessler and it was hard to take it over. Dessler was attractively drawn in the original, and combined with Mr. Ibu\u2019s performance he became a really popular character. This time, Dessler is depicted more deeply. Therefore, the flow has become that he\u2019s naturally supported by everyone, and I kept in mind that the rest was going to depend on my performance.<\/p>\nBecause of that, it was good to be able to do a young Dessler. If it was just the present-day Dessler, I don\u2019t think there\u2019s any doubt that there would be someone better for the role. I didn\u2019t have such a great voice in the beginning, but I had to understand the emotions and the content so they wouldn\u2019t get lost in the acting. Because we put so much care and feeling into what we do and work so hard on every word, I feel saved by hearing praise for the young Dessler. I think that area is where I stand out. Now I feel like, \u201cThank you, Mr. Habara! You get me!\u201d (Laughs)<\/p>\n
Interviewer:<\/em><\/span> What are you conscious of when you play Dessler?<\/p>\nYamadera:<\/em><\/span> It can commonly be said of any role, it\u2019s all about how you interpret and express the lines written in the script. With Dessler there is a lot of charisma, though I try to convey the magnitude of what he carries on his back without giving anything away to others. But sometimes he shows what\u2019s inside just for an instant, so it\u2019s complicated. Why is Dessler always calm, and why does it seem like he sees through everything? That part has been a mystery to me so far when I play him. <\/p>\nOriginally it seemed that he ruled Garmillas simply by being a strongman, but in Chapter 5 of 2202<\/em> we find out that\u2019s not so. I play him now while being conscious of that to some extent. He wasn\u2019t born as such a person, but he was compelled to walk into that life. I always think about that when I face up to the role, and try to make it come out in the lines. Usually I\u2019m just a timid person who keeps an eye on my surroundings, but I couldn\u2019t play Dessler if I allowed that to sneak in even a little. This could mean that I play Dessler with a resolute attitude that hides inside me. It would have been good if I could have played him from the day he swore to save Garmillas, but the scale of what I\u2019d carry on my back would be quite different. (Laughs)<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.ourstarblazers.com\/vault-images\/dec18\/357a13.JPG\")
<\/span><\/p>\nInterviewer:<\/em><\/span> Were they any Dessler lines that made an impression on you?<\/p>\nYamadera:<\/em><\/span> In a speech he gave in Chapter 5, he said, \u201cIf people lose hope, they lose their hearts.\u201d Japan has long been threatened by natural disasters, and has been damaged many times. When everyone is about to lose hope, I think a person can live even when there is just a tiny ray of hope. When I talked to various local people during the Great Tohoku Earthquake I often heard, \u201cI thought I lost something important, but I didn\u2019t lose hope.\u201d<\/p>\nDessler hardened his heart and pushed forward with his plans. I thought it was interesting in Chapter 5 when he told Teresa, \u201cI often speak without being heard.\u201d I like that line because it\u2019s not just sarcastic. (Laughs) In Chapter 6 he has a monologue where he says, \u201cYamato<\/em>. The Great Sum<\/em>. It\u2019s a beautiful ideal, but nothing can be saved by ideals alone. If you have the power to change reality, come and defeat me. And you too, Ranhart [Keyman].\u201d Ranhart doesn\u2019t hear him, but I think various things are summed up in that line, and Dessler\u2019s feelings will connect to the next time. Dessler really is a \u201cwalking quotation collection,\u201d isn\u2019t he?<\/p>\nInterviewer:<\/em><\/span> Did you have any interesting moments with Hiroshi Kamiya?<\/p>\nYamadera:<\/em><\/span> Kamiya is the type who will say anything regardless of whether you\u2019re a senior or a junior, and he has a rather sharp tongue. (Laughs) He spits a good poison. (Laughs) But it\u2019s also thanks to his kindness and grace that everyone can relax. We\u2019ve played roles in other works in the past few years, and I get to watch his magnificence every time. Not just Mr. Kamiya, of course, Yamato<\/em> has a lot of rising stars in that generation. <\/p>\nWhen I entered the industry thirty years ago, I got inspiration from people from all generations, but lately I\u2019ve heard that it\u2019s increasingly being done by young people and there aren\u2019t as many roles for veterans any more. But Yamato<\/em> has a lot of different generations, which makes it really fun to do. There is some tension, but you can learn a lot as a voice actor in an environment where you perform with people of various generations, and I think the good atmosphere of the site is reflected in the quality of the work. I always feel like I\u2019m stealing tricks from both the young people and the seniors when I\u2019m there.<\/p>\nWith a lot of things to be anxious about, surprise developments await in Chapter 6<\/h3>\n
![](\"https:\/\/www.ourstarblazers.com\/vault-images\/dec18\/357a03.JPG\")
<\/span><\/p>\nInterviewer:<\/em><\/span> Chapter 6 approaches the climax of 2202<\/em>. Prior to Chapter 5, the feeling was that it was an extension of the original work, and the story rapidly expands with Chapter 6, too. What\u2019s your overall impression?<\/p>\nYamadera:<\/em><\/span> There are surprising developments in Chapter 6. In such interviews, I\u2019m often asked \u201cWhat are the highlights?\u201d But it\u2019s awkward because there are so many of them. Even if I said, \u201cOh, this is it, this is the most exciting part!\u201d there are still bigger surges up ahead, and they\u2019re so amazing you forget about the first part.<\/p>\nBesides, even though there are so many characters, their dramas are all properly depicted. Kato\u2019s drama was shown, but then the Ginga<\/em> crew appeared, such as the new character Saki Todo, and they play an active part. Furthermore, there is the drama of Zordar and Sabera. Zordar is mysterious, but Sabera is even more mysterious. I didn\u2019t understand her for a long time. Initially I felt like, \u201cWhy is Yuko Kaido doing both roles?\u201d [Sabera and Katsuragi.] Then information about Gatlantis suddenly thunders out, and it becomes clear at last. It\u2019s a really great development. When you look back on the original Farewell to Yamato<\/em>, nothing like this appears. (Laughs)<\/p>\nThe ending is serious for Dessler, and now I\u2019m anxious about, \u201cWhat\u2019s going to happen to Dessler!?\u201d I have no idea what will happen next, but the story development is fascinating and the battle scenes are powerful! I\u2019m anxious to see how this expanded story will come together from here. And I haven\u2019t even mentioned our heroes Kodai and Yuki, which should be the leading roles. (Laughs) There are so many new developments in Yamato<\/em>, it\u2019s really hard to choose a highlight. Honestly, there\u2019s just too much to say.<\/p>\nInterviewer:<\/em><\/span> Which character do you sympathize with the most? Is it still Dessler?<\/p>\nYamadera:<\/em><\/span> Sympathize? Hmm. (Laughs) Dessler is a man who shoulders his own fate. I\u2019m someone who immediately reveals his weakness to others, so to be honest I\u2019m on the opposite pole from him. But in 2202<\/em> this time, there are scenes where Dessler unexpectedly pours out his feelings, because of the influence of Teresa and the presence of Keyman. He\u2019s basically a character who carries everything on his back in loneliness. But everyone in 2202<\/em> has their own humanity, don\u2019t they? <\/p>\nI\u2019m the type who whines and bellyaches immediately. Are there any pathetic characters like that in Yamato<\/em>? However, I\u2019m relieved to hear lines in this work like, \u201cHumiliating oneself and making mistakes, this is the privilege of being human.\u201d <\/p>\nBut I also think Zordar\u2019s philosophy is amazing, and when I think about the lines that make an impression on me, many of them are his. I feel like it expresses something that people of today must be feeling. Zordar and Dessler are both \u201cwalking quotation collections\u201d and even though I can\u2019t always sympathize with them, I think they have good things to say.<\/p>\n
![](\"https:\/\/www.ourstarblazers.com\/vault-images\/dec18\/357a04.JPG\")
<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cLove\u201d is a very difficult word, isn\u2019t it?<\/h3>\n
Interviewer:<\/em><\/span> The term Soldiers of Love<\/em> is in the title, and Dessler seems like a soldier of love who fights for the nation called Garmillas. With the weight of what he carries on his back and the love he must have, I wonder if it refers to Dessler the most.<\/p>\nYamadera:<\/em><\/span> Zordar is also carrying something pretty big on his back, so I can\u2019t say Dessler is the best, but it\u2019s still pretty big. When he was pressed by his brother and his uncle to make the ultimate choice, he made a blood vow and promised to \u201cSave the Garmillans\u201d and he lived only for that. I think he was saved by giving that answer.<\/p>\nInterviewer:<\/em><\/span> The theme of this work is \u201clove,\u201d so what do you think Dessler\u2019s love is?<\/p>\nYamadera:<\/em><\/span> Everyone carries big things on their backs. I think Dessler had special feelings for Starsha in 2199<\/em>, so I don\u2019t think he only loves Garmillas. He was influenced by Yamato<\/em> and Keyman, so I think he\u2019s shaken. I wonder if he\u2019s exploring what he should do. The title says \u201clove,\u201d but it\u2019s a really difficult word. Zordar has the idea that \u201cLife is cursed by something called love\u201d and it makes us scramble and kill each other. <\/p>\nIf you tell people to say in one word what is most necessary to human beings, many will definitely say \u201clove,\u201d and that word would be the hardest to deny, but it also becomes a source of fighting, so I think it\u2019s a word with conflicting aspects. \u201cLove\u201d is difficult to define. 2202<\/em> is a great work that dares to take on that challenge. Those of us who believe that \u201cpeace\u201d and \u201clove\u201d go together shouldn\u2019t stick too close to that when we hear the catchphrase \u201cThis love will break the universe.\u201d<\/p>\nThere may be few people now who say, \u201cthe love of humanity\u201d or \u201cthe love of the Earth.\u201d They may be true as ideals, but when you consider it for yourself, isn\u2019t it more common to have a love of home, and the people around you, and your nation? But in Yamato<\/em>, we fight for the love of all humanity, not just people of Earth. Yamato<\/em> is an amazing work, isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\nInterviewer:<\/em><\/span> Why do you think Yamato<\/em> is still loved today?<\/p>\nYamadera:<\/em><\/span> Another difficult question. (Laughs) I can\u2019t put it in one word. Everyone thinks of it as a \u201ctimeless masterpiece.\u201d The Space Battleship Yamato<\/em> series I saw as a child has been made even deeper and bigger. Because it\u2019s a work that pursues the eternal human theme of \u201clove,\u201d various things go along with that. I think part of it is the appeal of the characters, who are all well-conceived. There are small dramas within the big drama. Therefore, even if the viewers are from different generations, they all have points they can sympathize with. Chapter 6 is an important chapter that leads to the climax, and various mysteries are beginning to be revealed.<\/p>\nTo be honest, there are many things you won\u2019t understand by only watching it once. You can enjoy it first with the loud volume of a theater, then there\u2019s a great system where you can buy the Blu-ray in theaters and watch it many times to confirm what you saw. (Laughs) I think it\u2019s a work you can enjoy more deeply from repeated viewings, and it will deepen your understanding of love. I watch it many times so I can do interviews like this.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\nBy the way, Captain Ryu Hijikata, one of the important characters, is played through the middle of Chapter 6 by Unsho Ishizuka, then it changes over to Takashi Kusumi, who inherits the role brilliantly. I think Mr. Ishizuka would be pleased. <\/p>\n
I co-starred with Mr. Ishizuka in various works, and I feel like I haven\u2019t accepted his death yet. I want everyone to hear Mr. Ishizuka\u2019s last line as Captain Hijikata: “Please do this.” The sound of that voice is really great. I wanted to work with him to the very end of Yamato<\/em>, my favorite. But this became Mr. Ishizuka\u2019s final work. I feel somewhat strange to have sung Great Sum<\/em> for Chapter 6, since it contained Mr. Ishizuka\u2019s last performance. When I saw it I thought, \u201cThis is the last of Mr. Ishizuka\u2026?\u201d I felt that very strongly when the song started flowing afterward. I want everyone to keep that voice in their hearts by all means.<\/p>\nIn the first recording after Mr. Ishizuka passed away, my longtime friend Houcho Otsuka [Sanada\u2019s voice actor] took the initiative and asked everyone to give a silent prayer toward the chair where he always sat. Everyone was holding back tears during the recording, and no one could say their lines properly. The last place I saw him was at that site. In that situation, I recorded my lines with the feeling of, \u201cThank you very much, Unsho. We\u2019ll do our best!\u201d I hope that comes through when you see it in the theater.<\/p>\n
Interviewer:<\/em><\/span> When Chapter 6 is over, the next one will be the final chapter at last. The TV broadcast starts in October, and I think more and more people will see this work. What comment do you have for them?<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.ourstarblazers.com\/vault-images\/dec18\/357a06.JPG\")
<\/span><\/p>\nYamadera:<\/em><\/span> First, to those who have seen it through Chapter 5, you will naturally be anxious about what lies ahead. Chapter 6 is a great thing that will not disappoint you. For those who haven\u2019t seen 2202<\/em>, you can see it on TV and on demand, so please watch it from the start at Chapter 1. (Laughs) And if you\u2019re someone who thinks 2202<\/em> might be a rehash of the old Yamato<\/em>, I want to say, \u201cThis is a completely new story and it\u2019s amazing right now.\u201d It\u2019s a work I can be proud of as a cast member, so if there is someone like that out there, please review this work starting with 2199<\/em> if you can. Yamato<\/em> will help you to fully enjoy the coming autumn nights. (Laughs)<\/p>\nInterviewer:<\/em><\/span> Please send a message to the fans.<\/p>\nYamadera:<\/em><\/span> The title of the ending theme song is Great Sum<\/em>, with respect to the totality of people who gather together. There are many people watching 2202<\/em> in their teens and twenties, and also fans like me from the Yamato<\/em> generation. This song enters all their hearts. From the scenery that comes to mind, it expands into the future.
